The Masham, Stockton On Tees

The Masham is definitely a local pub for local people.

I've visited a few times and, on each occasion there is a distinct feeling of intruding and inconveniencing the staff. They're certainly not friendly or welcoming to anyone other than the locals and it's interesting to see other visitors mentioning the same thing.

Whilst not amazing, the food is ok and the location is good. It would actually be a nice pub if it wasn't for the complete indifference of the staff, one of whom I saw being removed by the police following violence towards one of his guests at Christmas which was extremely unpleasant to see.
