We’re big on warmth, low on fussiness: stripped wood floors, high bar stools, painted brickwork and comfy leather banquettes. Sup your pint beside our polished-oak bar or tuck yourself away in the Snug behind the frosted glass partition. You can hear yourself talk, concentrate on the crossword or nod off quietly in the corner.To help keep everyone safe, our teams will continue to wear face masks and we'd love you to do the same when nentering and moving around the pub and dining room.Thank you for your continued support and understanding and we look forward to seeing you.

We dined here on the evening of one of the Durham University Graduation ceremony days. The place was very busy but the staff were coping remarkably well. We had a lovely meal accompanied by a great Turkish wine (Kavaklidere Yakut) and didn’t feel in any way pressured to rush our meal. Thoroughly recommended restaurant.
