Strongers . left this review about The Woodman Inn
The Woodman has seating in the front window and up the right opposite the serving counter up the left that supports premium keg alongside three hand pumps that were drawing Titanic’s Plum Porter, TT Landlord and Consett Ale Works’ Red Dust. An exposed brick wall separates the bar area from open plan seating and a pool table at the rear. Darts is also advertised, so I assume I missed the board when I stuck my head into this games area. The televisions throughout were playing a Newcastle Champions League match, being a walk from town this pub was quieter that others I had not long visited that were also showing the game, so I preferred it.

After this pub's closure, a couple who live close by decided to buy the pub and refurb it as they had no local pub to them. I believe extensive work was carried out along with the rear garden area, which is used for various events throughout the summer.
The interior was smart and comfortable with three good sized rooms. The main bar was situated in the front room and this room hosted a large bay window with upholstered banquette seating. The two back rooms were also of a high standard of decor, along with a pool table.
Two beers on handpump TT Landlord and Bombardier, plus one cider which was Seacider.

Reopened by Black Storm Brewing it’s a bit of a walk up the hill of Claypath then Gilesgate almost to the big roundabout. Description wise it’s pretty much as Alan Winfield described it in 2016, there are three pulls, not unnaturally all beers from Black Storm. The choices were a Porter, an unknown but strong seasonal and a weak pale ale, which isn’t brilliant. Usual kegs on two T-bars, the bottles all appeared to be from Black Storm perhaps in an homage to Sam Smiths.
