The Britannia, Darlington

No frills town boozer with the bar to the left as you enter and a function type room to the right of a central corridor. Fairly plain décor with proper pub seating and Britannia tables, there is a small shrine to Newcastle United at the back. Facilities also include a small TV and a fruit machine, the back wall and the bar are decorated with the pump clips of many counties. Six handpulls with Camerons Strong arm and John Smiths Cask as regulars plus four guests, Mordue, Brakspears, Moorhouses and something from Fox & Morrisey when I visited, all the available beers including the usual keggy stuff are listed on a blackboard by the bar door. Friendly chatty locals, good no frills service and excellent beer quality

A small, local pub, its ok but not worth a special trip

Real Ales from Cameron's Strongarm, Johns Cask and upto 4 guests.
