The Pot House, Hartlepool

No cask but a decent traditional boozer next to the Andy Capp statute on the old harbour side. An interior of plain dark wood including tongue and groove, with a cast iron fireplace and Britannias, banquette seating all round in the front bar. There are two bars and a function room, the main front bar and a smaller lounge called the Coxswain’s Room. Finished in nautical decor of ropes and stuff, a monkey is hanging behind the counter as the historical event is thought to have occurred on the beach outside. Cursed with music and screen, there is also a darts board above the fireplace. It used to be called the Harbour of Refuge and the previous pub sign is still hanging outside.

another pub for great fish and chips, but why was the pint of camerons chilled?
