The Pennyweight, Darlington

Strongers . left this review about The Pennyweight

The Pennyweight has a central panelled serving counter that faces seating across front blinded windows that look out onto Horse Market, well I assume that is what the large square out front is called. There’s a large table to the right of the counter and there are two fireplaces with adjacent lounge furniture on the left-hand wall. One fireplace has a TV above that was airing muted Deal or No Deal while some background music played. In the left rear is a snug with a couple of tables away from the bar area. On the bar was a selection of standard and premium keg products alongside six hand pumps, four of which were unused and the Doom Bar was off which left Black Sheep’s Best as the lone cask option. The service was polite, but I didn’t really like the country hotel left-hand side meets high street pub co boozer right-hand side combo. The service was polite, but I’ll not be going out of my way to revisit.
