I love this place. It has an excellent selection of house ales from The Village Brewery as well as…read morean ever changing menu of English ale and imported lagers. The prices are towards the high end for Darlington but I pay them gladly for the quality of the produce and the service. I admit that this place will not to be some peoples taste but If you appreciate fine ale or wines then you should give the place a try. The average age of the clientele maybe around 50 but I've never felt out of place and am always afforded friendly service. Also the food here is usually very nice. The traditional beef sandwich and chips is delicious. The only reason I do not give 5 stars is that on Friday and Saturday evening the place is packed like a sardine tin and can attract a few pretentious idiots that seem to have given the place a bit of a reputation. For this reason I only use 22s as my mid-week haunt.

This pub used to be the Queens Head , it had a bad reputation and there was always trouble, so much…read moreso, that it got closed down on several occasions. But now I think its turned the corner. It has been refurbished (I am led to believe it has had a £250,000 facelift ) and it looks very different to what it did. The bar area has been moved to the back of the pub - though I do think it is a small. Theres bright flock wall paper and painted walls, a few tables and leather seats against the wall. I dont smoke but they seems to be a good area at the back for smokers too. I would never of gone in here in the old days, but now I dont mind popping in for a drink. Its a good place to start the night off and the door staff are friendly.

Plans are underway for a new home cooked food menu, please bear with us though, it will take us a couple of weeks finding our feet and the right chef etc. to get this up and running to the high standard you would expect. Please pop in and try out our hospitality if you're passing Thanks Dave (one of the new licensees!)

Food was not presented properly. Parts of the food were cold on the adults and children's plates. We went asked if we were enjoying the food. We were asked to leave because we tried to complain even though my auntie was still willing to pay and the manager told us to "just leave." I would definitely NOT recommend this pub for anyone at all. DISGUSTING.

This is a pretty small bar in central Darlington at the Skinnergate end of Post House Wynd (which…read moreruns between Skinnergate and High Row). This used to have a pretty bad reputation for trouble on an evening but this seems to have changed over the last few years. There are always door staff on over a weekend and I haven't seen or heard about any trouble here for some time. There are some tables and chairs but you might struggle on a Friday or Saturday night. If you were driving down to the Green Dragon you would be fine on an evening to grab a spot on Skinnergate but during the day you will need to pay for a town centre car park.

Fabulous renovation of the building. Great choice of drinks. GHDs in the ladies a hit!read more
