A popular County Durham pub is set to reopen next month promising to "step up a gear" with a new menu and outdoor entertainment.


Crinnions of Lanchester, a family-owned business active in the town since 1959, announced its closure in May 2023 citing a rise in costs, wages and utilities.


Mark Flood, a chef who previously worked at the pub, successfully took over with his business partner Phil Cooper recently and told The Northern Echo that a long-awaited reopening date is set for July 12.
