The Station House — Restaurant in Great Britain

This is a pub that has been on my wish list for a while. Living nearly 200 miles away means it's not a random Tuesday night stroll. Having tied it into Chorleys game at Spennymoor, I'm good to go. Managed to take in a quick pint in Waiting Room on Durham station before noon (recommended). This pub know exactly what they're doing - and they do it perfectly. Beer exceptional, as you'd hope/assume. The presence of T.T.'s Boltmaker helped. Couldn't dally before the game, but certainly didn't rush for the early train. Sincerely hope it's not too long before a repeat...

Best craft beer in durham. It's my "local" and I live 7 miles away!. Always have 4 craft beers on 2 IPA/blond, 1 bitter or ruby and one porter, and always at least 3 sometimes 4 ciders (typically dry, medium, sweet and 1 perry) Beer always very fresh served directly from the barrel so no contamination. Only minor downside (for a yorkshireman) is no creamy head on your pint, but small price to pay for fresh top quality beers. No food (except small snacks like pork pies, but seen people bring in pizzas from dominos across the road! Still my local after more...

Decent place offering a good selection of ales. It's fairly minimal inside and I feel the place is missing the character you'd often expect of this type of establishment. The bar itself is interesting with a very authentic feel, bit the rest of the place looks fairly uninspiring.

This being said, when you visit a place like this it's often to get away from the predictable modern chain bars, so I don't think you'd leave being disappointed. Perhaps just not in a hurry...
