Ten handpumps, so enough to make any CAMRA zealot and their ilk cream themselves especially when it serves Draught Bass, the other beers were from small breweries, the kegs are from generally craft or pseudo-craft breweries. Wines and spirits too, so is it a kosher micro? Whatever there’s no surprise it’s in the GBG. Beer quality is very good in spite of the pump count. A small corner micro but with seating upstairs as well as downstairs a few tables with stools and a sprinkling of taller chairs at shelves, there’s a pew in one corner. Odd decor which is largely animal based obviously including foxes, plus a selection of CAMRA awards, cut down keg lamp shades, a bus destination blind, footy scarves and “witty” signs. Toilets and the extra seating upstairs, there’s also a rear garden and there’s no standing at the bar. Slightly cliquey vibe.

This micro was a former corner house, when the owner and his wife spotted the property whilst having a meal in the restaurant opposite. It's a real hit with the locals and beer tourists like ourselves calling in. We called on a Thursday afternoon and the owner apologised for only having 9 handpumps in use, instead of the usual 10. Bass is their permanent cask ale, along with various guests from dark to light.
The line up on our visit was Durham Dark Angel Stout, Black Edge Dark Mild, Theakston Best Bitter, Black Edge Pike Pale Ale, Durham Hooked On A Feeling IPA, Jarl Citra Blonde, Pictish Pacific Jade, Bank Top Flat Cap and Bass. If space is limited there is further seating upstairs.

Small place (a micro? maybe) with a wooded floor and an intriguing fox, owl and dog décor – I presume this is a nod to the football clubs supported by the owners. Snooker on the telly, it’s still a thing up this way. Doing a roaring trade Friday evening and was rammed, with a cracking atmosphere; I had to beg to share a table such was the level of custom. 10 pumps, all operating; I went straight for the Bass which was in good shape (NBSS 3.5). Hard to get a good look at the other options but I think I saw some cider and a couple of unusual German kegs from ABK. Despite the squeeze I liked this one and would pop in again. GBG’23 listed, of course.
