Fighting Cocks, Durham

The Fighting Cocks missed my crawl list, but walking past after a few jars, the traditional pub exterior drew me in through the central entrance, either side of which sit banquettes under the front windows. This pub has been knocked through at some point to create a mostly open plan space with high tables up the centre and seating up the right that are faced by a long black serving counter with green tiled inserts up the left where standard and premium keg is available. At the rear is a raised seating area with a dartboard that feels a bit cosier than the rest of the pub. There was some background music playing and televisions throughout were airing muted Sky Sports, I assumed the plentiful supply of standing room was used when a big match was playing. I thought the service was very friendly, but this is a forgettable high street pub.
