Been trying to place that as it's my neck of the woods. Nailed it now. It's the Anchor at Whittonstall. I live only ten minutes away but don't go there that often as £5.70 for a pint of bitter is too salty for me.Just arrived at our hotel near Consett after driving from our gaff in France. Only got caught with a delay at the A1M/M1 junction but pleasantly surprised there were no other issues from Pompey.
Lovely place and will experience the restaurant later tonight.
Nieces wedding tomorrow so probably be pissed tomorrow night lol.
Back home on Tuesday.

Nevertheless it's a nice pub in a beautiful little corner of Northumberland. Hope you had an enjoyable stopover and you're inspired to come and visit us again. Next time, bring your bike. It's epic round here.
