The Monument in Sunderland

I popped in for drink one tuesday night,got involved in the fun quiz and have been going back every Tuesday night,and live microphone nights and busker nights,this is your village pub with its good selection of beers and lagers,wine by the glass or bottle,and double maxim a Sunderland brew made by the defunct Vaux Brewery and Newcastle Brown,,and to sit and take easy by one of the two real fires yes it full marks to Trish And Mick for keeping the old ambiance

This is a traditional English country-style pub with a warm and friendly atmosphere. Hosts Trish and Mick make you feel welcome whether you are a newcomer or a regular. The chat is always flowing in the bar with young and old mixing their stories with a good selection of beers and soft drinks. The pub serves a selection of snacks including pizza and chips along with familiar bar snacks. Located in the picturesque village of Old Penshaw, the Monument is at the foot of Penshaw Hill and the 'folly' known as Penshaw Monument, built by public subscription, to celebrate John George Lambton becoming the first Governor of Canada. The 'hill', as it is known locally, is favoured by walkers, joggers and cyclists and overlooks the splendid Herrington Country Park. So, if you are in the neighbourhood, why not come on in to The Monument, relax and enjoy the chat (as well as the beer!).
