We had never been to this pub before, despite living in Darlington, but we’re passing, having been on a dog walk and so called in for a much needed drink. We were welcomed as soon as we went to the bar, the staff made a fuss of both my daughter and our dog. Will be visiting again soon to try their food!

Large ranch style estate pub, built in the sixties. Large car park, children's play area overlooked from inside. Sheltered smoking area. Cask beer regularly available from 3 handpumps. Sunday lunch (booking advisable). Update January 2023, Pedigree & Hobgoblin both available on a Tuesday evening. Sunday lunch discontinued due to increased costs.
