Blue Scrumpy left this review about The Dun Cow
The Dun Cow is actually within County Durham.
Confusion reigned as we entered. The card machine had gone missing and there was a queue of people waiting to settle up for their Sunday lunches. I offered to pay using the long last method of cash, which seemed to help matters.
There was no real ale. Whilst I was expecting to find Landlord, it was not on. Keg selections were Carling, John Smith's, Strongbow, Strongbow Dark Fruit, Guinness, Stella Artois, Fosters, Birra Moretti, Maltsmith's & Frizante 1754.
The inside of the pub was packed. With tables in the garden, we moved on outside to join a few families with kids climbing the fir trees at the rear and swinging on some rather unstable looking tyres.
Not one I can recommend.
