The Kirk Inn in County Durham

It looks a tad run down, definately don't be put off by that or you'll miss a treat. Cycled here from our campsite about four miles away so could only risk one pint! Good beer and good price, definately quirky, sat outside overlooking the village green, idylic.

Disgusting manner of the landlord, insulting and the whole room was grotty - insulted so much that we left and therefore robbed after he took money (without giving change) No idea how so highly rated, unfriendly, unwelcoming.

Great atmosphere. Shame they were all Sunderland supporters🙈😊🤣

When the weathers nice sat outside with a lovely view of the village and a really good pint well what more does one want.

An amazing place for a pint, Paul is the perfect host and will regale you with his tales. Over the years I’ve yet to have a poor pint, there’s only one ale on but it’s always perfectly kept

Quirky pub, cracking landlord who is as eccentric and his pub. Yes it could do with a good clean but that's part of its charm. The bitter they serve is fantastic. If your not a clean freak then pop in and have a pint, would recommend

My favourite pub in the north east. Delicious beers in a beautiful village. The landlord Paul is a lovely guy and a lot of fun. Would recommend to anyone in this area.

Entering this pub is like stepping back in time, definitely no airs and graces. Spent a lovely hour or so here enjoying a cooling off pint after my walk with the dog.Greeted upon entering by the lovely landlord and his two dogs, definitely a character and will keep you entertained

What a fantastic pub, with a great atmosphere. The landlord is such an entertaining character, its worth a trip just to spend some time listening to his stories. Well worth a visit, I'll certainly be back soon.

Fab little pub! We visited on a walk whilst staying at our caravan that we’ve just recently moved to. The pub is small and had so much character, Paul the owner was very friendly and chatted to us the whole time we were there. The Kirk Inn is dog friendly, our dog Mindy was welcomed with open arms by both every one who was in there as well as the two pub dogs Minky and Millie, who were lovely. We can’t wait to come back regularly!
