Visited this quintessential Public House after a visit to the Crematorium at Durham, May 11th 2023. It has been there 'forever' but allowed to run-down some-what, over the years.I was looking forward to a good hand-pulled pint in such an old premises, but found gas 'pumps' at the two Bars. Our funeral party was put into a dark / uninviting snug area with little space and natural light, along with food, tea and coffee layed-out in readiness. The buffet was really good, the staff very friendly but the decor was beyond poor.I went into the 'Snug' / other Bar area to find a much brighter, far more inviting room. A 'Snug' is usually a Bar area similar to the room we were put.Unfortunately, the gas 'pumps' were there too. This area is not a 'Snug' but a 'Bar' by definition. There is a large banner outside the premises, asking for a new Publican.For me, this pub is desperate for a massive make-over with some real / craft ales at the Bars, decanted from hand-pumps. The gas pumps could be used for other 'beers / lagers', but reduced somewhat.The main attraction should be (for me) should an inviting premises with true Beers and somewhere to enjoy a chat with the locals, listen to some music or watch a bit of tele. I'd be putting the Pool Table in the Snug, not in the Bar area.

Friendly village pub. Lovely open fire. Lots of seating and a beer garden for when the weather warms up. Definitely worth another visit.Only downside: people vaping inside?
