Will Larter left this review about The Rose Tree

Situated just outside the village by the busy main road, the Rose Tree has an advantage over the Seven Stars at the other end of the village in that it has a car park and a small beer garden. As with the other pub, there are two doors to choose from, with Restaurant to the left leading to two rooms, one seemingly in an extension to the side of the original building. The smaller room to the right was almost full with people eating, and it felt warm, airless and muggy, but I had walked quite fast to get here in order to have time for a beer before my bus back into Durham. Black Sheep Best Bitter and Camerons Strongarm were the options, and my half of Black Sheep was in very good condition and cost me £2.25. I took it out to the garden, which would be quite a pleasant spot were it not for the roar of traffic going past outside; a hedge makes for some relief from the sights but not the sounds. I drank up hurriedly and luck was with me, as my bus was standing at the traffic lights waiting for a green as I emerged and walked towards the stop.
