Smiths Arms, Brecon Hill, Castle Dene,Chester le Street,DH3 4HE. Tel.01913856915.

The Smiths Arms. Its taken us weeks to catch it open (not until 4pm) but was it worth while!

My kind of pub is this. Loads of friendly atmoshere. A small bar. An ancient black oven and fire range blazing away(as my parents and grandparents had in the 40's and 50's) and 4 real ales on tap. I could have moved in!!

In an isolated region near Fencehouses and Great Lumley. If you like old pubs and good beer then here they are.

A Northumberland Ales Pit Pony went down a treat as I'm sure the Black Sheep, the Jarrow Brewery Rivet Catcher and the Courage Directors would have done too if I only had time.

Hurry back if you can Jack!
