By Derek Davis 25th Sep 2020
Did you know?
Shane Rolin, the landlord and chef at the Bristol Arms, Shotley, is also a member of the Holbrook Coastguard crew. It has been known when he has downed pots and pans to go on a shout. The 200-year-old pub has a reputation for excellent food, amazing views and warm friendly staff, so worth a visit even if you have to go home by 10pm.
