The Derwent Arms, Consett

A three room village pub set back from the road, on entering the main bar is to the left with the counter against the right hand wall, this space and the adjacent room is given over to dining with tables and chairs. There are three handpumps but only one in use with a beer from local Firebrick brewery, a fairly watery and flat 4.2% bitter, it went off a bit later replaced by another from Firebrick. Largely plain decor, the walls are in a colour I believe is called taupe, the woodwork below in a darker shade of off green, there are a few pictures and mirrors to liven the place up but it still feels a bit antiseptic. One corner with a sofa looked a bit more welcoming. The third room, to the right as you enter is a sort of private dining room. Obviously it’s more of a dining establishment than a pub. It is no longer in the Good Beer Guide. Their tangled website says closed Monday - Wednesday, WhatPub will catch up with that soon no doubt but probably not straighten out the confused food/drinking hours stated by the pub.
