Quinno _ left this review about The William Stead (JD Wetherspoon)
Backstreet Spoons in what looks like a fairly modern building grafted onto something much older. A relatively straightforward long and shallow interior divided by a display case with a slightly more desirable room off right. Five guest cask; my Hawkshead Pale was showing its age (NBSS 2). Named after someone who drowned in the Titanic so you have a ready-made gag if your beer is watery.

The lesser known of Darlington’s two ‘spoons as it’s tucked away in a back street on the edge of the town centre. None the less a classic spoons, with the standard 5+5 pulls topped and tailed as usual on the rear counter and typical furnishings. It benefits from a really good newsprint patterned carpet so I’m guessing Mr Stead was a newpaper man not the similarly named John Stead, hero of the Avengers TV series. Upstairs has a keg only bar and the toilets, otherwise nothing outstanding in décor etc.
