Love this place, one of the best bars in the area. Really modern inside, you have the toilets…read moreupstairs. The seating area as you walk in then as you walk further on you have the bar and the dance area with the standing area behind and the TV screen. The music is either cheese or pop, but it is good and has a great atmosphere inside. The staff are always helpful and friendly. The drinks are the same price as most places in the area, I think their quite expensive but it is still a great bar which is something the area needed.

Lovely little place in a small village in Northumbria. The…read morestaff was very friendly and polite. Overall, we enjoyed our stay - there are a small details that could be improved (for example, it's a bit cold in the bathroom) and no kettle in the room (however there is an area where you can make a cuppa yourself), but the biggest bummer for me was that the breakfast is only till 9 which was not ideal on a holiday and especially New Year's Day. But honestly, excellent value for money and breakfast was good indeed.

What an amazing place!…read more Blink and you might miss one of Northumberland's true hidden treasures. It's only a small inn (4 rooms) but each room is delightfully appointed. I was fortunate to get a tour of the rooms by the owner and they were spotless and modern. The pub itself serves cold beer with a warm atmosphere. All the staff were friendly and helpful. The prices were reasonable too. But the food is the real star here. British classics and local favourites professionally prepared. The evening I was there the place was packed and every plate was empty at the end. Oh, and free wifi too!

This place is a great way of spending an afternoon. reasonable prices for drinks and food. The food…read moreis just basic fried or microwaved but it is nice enough. They could do with having a bit more choice but nevermind it is acceptable. The staff are really friendly. The place can be packed at the weekend so I prefer going during the week. The toilets are always really clean. It is right by the town so great to pop in for a bite to eat after you have been shopping. They have some good deals going for food and drink and they were sending out vouchers to make you save even more. brilliant stuff!

Just your standard Wetherspoons, the McDonalds of the drink trade…read more Unlike some of the marginally better ones, Consett's is architecturally mundane both inside and out. A huge brick building with entrances and both ends and a row of windows along the side. Clearly the designer planned it using lego. Inside it is almost as exciting as the outside. Near each entrance is a raised eating area, and in between; a vast sea of tables in rows. There's no music whatsoever, so the background noise is the constant rumbling of idle chatter. This does nothing but add to the whole 'school dinner hall' feel the place has. The bar itself is big and usually busy, staff seemed ok, although a few of them acted as if in serving you a drink they had done a great favour for you. Drinks were standard for a Wetherspoons. All in all, it's just a Wetherspoons, nothing flash, nothing interesting, cheap drinks, cheap food, no character & no atmosphere. There are always other options.

Had soup for starters as it was free. Had a slice of tiger bread with butter to go with it. Which…read morewas very nice. Had roast beef dinner which I can't complain about because it tasted bleddy ansome. One fault was there wasn't no stuffing. Staff was very nice polite and friendly. Will come again.

Went here today for a Sunday roast, had a soup for starter which was included in the offer either…read moreif you want it or not, it was nothing short of soup in a packet from the supermarket, for the main I was lusting some beef and it delivered that much! It was cooked to perfection, along with a large crunchy Yorkshire pudding, acceptable potatoes, not sure why there was boiled and roasted, I'd prefer the traditional roasted only. Covered in a rich perfect gravy. Separate veggies on another plate, again acceptable standards nothing to scream about, carrots were delightful but let down again with no stuffing :( Price tag was a little higher than I feel it deserved, I believe the drink which was completely outrageous should had been included free with the meal. it wasn't awful but I don't think I'd come again.

Luckily there are still a few great places left, and The Grey Horse is one of them. With craft brewed beers on draught, and a warm welcoming atmosphere, it's great to see somewhere traditional, yet with their own personal twist. Nice warm fire and an even warmer welcome.

Really quiet pub when you go in mid week, although I have seen it get busier on weekends. Usually…read morehas older people in so less trouble in there, the drinks are an average price and the staff keep themselves to themselves. The toilets are really bad(dirty and never any loo roll) so I recommend if you need to go, go somewhere else. They do not have a good range of drinks but they have the main ones and if you want to go out for a quite chat then this is the place to go. There is not a huge range of drinks but the main drinks are there and they will mix and match if you want.

Best find on holiday ever!!…read more Set in a beautiful little village with a huge village green with loads of parking round and about (although im sure that on a mid summer sunny day parking may be somewhat difficult!). The pub has a bar area and a restaurant area - we only ever went into the bar as you could eat int here and it was really cosy (dogs are also allowed!). The staff were incredibly friendly and chatty (lets face it, Yorkshire, particularly North Yorkshire folk are possibly the most friendly on the planet - i challenge you to disprove this!). The food was INCREDIBLE. Nothing fancy pants, just really good food, VERY big portions (trust me on this, you dont need three courses - choose your weapon of starter or dessert to go alongside your main - we made the mistake one night and 1) couldnt eat it all and 2)pretty much rolled home). We spent an evening in the pub, had a meal and then sat playing card games - we felt incredibly welcome. So welcome that we ended up visiting three times in a week long holiday. You cant really get a better recommendation than that can you??
