The County, Gosforth

I rarely get through to Gosforth now but have many happy memories of the County and Brandling Arms. Especially, though, the County.

Located on the High Street and served excellently by public transport, this public house is an ideal local and a very pleasant one.

Not being a drinker, as such, through medical reasons more than any other, I have found all of my recent visits to the County to be very pleasant and the staff are all excellent and sociable. Especially, Emma who always gives a very welcoming smile and is very efficient. (Oh, she's a dab hand in the kitchen, too)

The food is excellent, as is the selection and the meals that I have had there have been cooked to perfection and have had an abundance of flavour.

I have never sensed, as one does in many locals these days if not a regular punter, a feeling of being an outsider. The atmosphere has always been a warm one.

Overall, ten out of ten.
