Lovely Camra pub. Superb selection of real ale. Well maintained and mixed clientele. Slight walk out of Durham centre but we'll worth it. Friendly helpful barman well kept bathrooms lovely beer garden.

Nice enough pub although we climbed a bit of a steep hilled street to get to it. The pub was good though, spacious, plenty of seating and friendly enough staff. It was quiet when we arrived but looked well looked after, good outside seating area at the back and also had decent sized TV inside.
