The Three Horse Shoes, Barnard Castle

This pub has just been reopened after a long 2 year total refurbisment, the interior has been changed to create more space in the bar areas, nice decor and good atmosphere, we had a guided tour of the newly built letting rooms, 11 in total, very nice, There is now a resturant which we have not tried yet, but did look very nice too. probably now one of the nicest pubs in Barnard Castle.

The White Swan, Barnard Castle

called into this pub for a drink during the week, very quiet with just the barman and a couple of others watching a big TV. It lacked a bit of atmosphere, quite stark and bright interior, had a pint and was just about ready to go up and order a second when the barman switched the lights off in the part we were sat in, he had just walked past us so he knew we were there and almost ready for a second drink. but I guess he didnt want any more custom that evening, it was 10.15pm. left as it felt like he wanted us to go, funny thing was as it was so quiet, we had heard him complaining to the others earlier about how quiet the pub was!
