The Tannery, Hexham

Blackthorn _ left this review about The Tannery

A basic, no frills boozer located slightly off the beaten track, meaning it’s inevitably more of a local’s pub than many of the busier establishments on the high street. That said, it seemed to be doing a good trade on our recent visit, with plenty of punters enjoying a drink, as well as something from the menu which consisted primarily of burgers and pizzas> We had been recommended the pizza, and it proved to be decent enough).

It's split in to two different rooms internally, with a central bar counter serving both. The right-hand room was a good size with high ceilings, large windows on two sides, rough wooden boards on the floor and dark blue paintwork on the ceiling. A plethora of beer mats ran around the top of the walls hinting at an ever changing selection, whilst the seating was a mixture of padded banquette seating to the left with regular chairs and high stools elsewhere. From a quick glance, the room to the left looked a little cosier perhaps with Victorian style tiling on the walls, green paintwork around the fireplace and slate style tiling on the floor, along with a number of beer branded padded stools for seating.

Perhaps surprisingly going on the number of beer mats, the only available options were Timothy Taylor Landlord and Anarchy Euro Star, although there were two further pumps that appeared unused, so perhaps on occasions there were more. The ciders meanwhile were Inch’s Medium Apple and Aspall’s.
