Great beer, friendly staff, cosy vibe, low prices. Not much more anyone can want from a pub. They do good music events here too.

Lovely little bar and very cute! Came here to meet some friends and was upstairs in the function room. The atmosphere from up there was really nice and the staff were very friendly! Definitely will be visiting again in the future as not only did we enjoy it, but so did our cat 🐱 (she says your sofa was very comfortable and easy to nap on)

I've been visiting this pub for at least 20 years... Is that right? It can't be?! They have a fantastic selection of beers and some seriously drinkable cider. It was a quiet Monday evening when I was in with some old friends, the Barman was witty and played along with our shenanigans. A good time was had by all.

Hard to find , especially if you follow Google maps ( it's NOT in the covered market or the market square ! ) . Good Rock / music pub which is just starting to have some live music 🎶 again after all the last 18months of turmoil. Very friendly lady behind the bar who knows her real ales & Darlington history 😁👍 Had a chat outside in the courtyard with the owner who is sound 🤘 Worth trying to find.

I know that this place gets a lot of praise and awards, so I already had high expectations before my visit... However, those expectations were surpassed! The whole experience starts with the super friendly and efficient staff, making you feel very welcome. Following that, you get a glimpse of the exceptional and varied wine list which has some proper gems on there from all over Italy. I tried a couple of different ones, and both were exceptional. I should also pause at this point and reflect on the wonderful, rustic surroundings. Lots of natural wood and plants plus the lovely warming glow of the giant pizza oven. Now, onto the main event...the pizzas! Just one look at the menu and you know that they aren't messing around. Loads of choice of exceptional sounding pizzas. Nothing novelty or gimmicky, just quality traditional Italian pizzas. My wife had a marinara and I had a garlic mushroom, ham and ricotta number. Both of these were off the chart delicious! Two things I look for in a good pizza are a super stretchy and glutenous base and simple, exceptional tomato sauce and these were absolutely nailed! The toppings were simple and of the best quality. Honestly, this was a pizza to remember. We'll definitely be back. This place is worth all the awards it gets. Highly, highly recommended!
