EBG Rating:	7.9/10
Choice/ Quality of Drinks	❤️❤️ Local cask ales with typical low-rent keg options. A good pint of Guinness however.
Style/ Décor	❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ One of only two Northumberland pubs on CAMRA’s inventory of Heritage interiors. Little altered since 1910, a wood-fit partition screens the bar area.
Atmosphere/ Character	❤️❤️❤️ Depends on how busy it is and who the crowd is, but there is a natural ambience due to the natural character of the decades past.
Amenities/ Events	❤️❤️❤️❤️ Fireplace, TV, pool, snacks
Value For Money	❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Very good value.
Description	File under ‘love or hate’, this bunker boozer will delight those looking for an impromptu conversation, characterful surroundings and a throwback atmosphere, less so people seeking a wall full of different beers. One of only 2 pubs in Northumberland with a CAMRA Heritage interior, its history is apparent almost as soon as you walk through the entrance with its quirky partitioned layout and deep set patina of smoke, lacquer and damp. A fireplace helps keep things cosy, while a pool room to the rear is well used by local times. A real curio that’s well worth seeking out. (Added February 2024)
