One of Sunderland's oldest public houses dating back to 1834, the pub is adjacent to the industrial area of Deptford, next to the River Wear. The traditional interior is arranged around a central bar with wood panels and bare boards. Six handpulls are available but in Nov 18 only 4 in use. Regular beer festivals, live music and barbecues are held in a marquee to the rear. A former CAMRA local Pub of the Year and North East award winner.
