Located at the gateway to the village, the charming Weardale freehouse is a single-room establishment that was reopened in 2014 after being acquired from Marstons. The interior boasts an open fire and beamed ceilings, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The freehouse is known for serving cask ales and high-quality homemade food, all made from locally sourced produce. Please note that the freehouse only opens for lunch during the summer months, so it is advisable to confirm the opening hours in advance. For those looking for a place to stay, ensuite accommodation is available. Additionally, cask beer may occasionally be offered during the summer. This quaint establishment is a testament to the charm and hospitality of Weardale, offering a cozy retreat for both locals and visitors alike.
