The Fountain in Consett

Ah, The Fountain in Consett – it's one of those pubs that just feels like a proper local gem, you know? From what I've gathered from the feedback, the staff are an absolute delight, always ready with a warm smile and making sure everyone feels included, which really sets the tone for a great evening. The drinks are reasonably priced and there's a solid range on offer, plus they've got some cracking home-cooked food on weekends that sounds like it hits the spot after a long day. Entertainment like karaoke adds a bit of excitement and gets the crowd involved, making it a fun spot for a singalong or just chilling out. On the flip side, it does have its quieter moments, so if you're after a packed house every time, you might find it a bit subdued now and then. And with it being shut on Tuesdays, you'll have to plan around that, but overall, it's a solid choice for an inexpensive, friendly pint – I'd say it's well worth a visit if you're in the area and up for some good old pub banter.
