The Five Alls, Bishopsgarth, Stockton-On-Tees

A bit of a surprise to find this one open, as Google has shown it as "temporarily closed". On entering, I talked about this to the bar manager, whose daughter is the licensee. He said they took over here in April 2025, but Google would not agree to mark it as open, because the former licensee (who had informed them it was closed) would not respond to any attempt to contact. They've now submitted a video showing the pub being open, and this also helps to show off the brilliant refurbishment (see photos) that was done in July. It's looking smart, but more importantly it feels friendly, and the customers are reacting as you'd expect. There's no cask beer, so I had a half of Murphy's stout while discussing pubs and Pubs Galore with John the bar manager. I told him I had recently passed the 13,000 mark for pubs photographed, and I used the Five Alls' own wifi to upload a photo to make this my 13,012th.
