Black Horse, Chester Le Street

A funny little building set back a bit from the main street, bigger inside than the frontage suggests as there’s a big room with another counter at the back. The front bar is small with a raised area on the left, banquette seating and a dart board but it could function as a stage. Tall seating opposite the dog leg counter, two T’s of usuals plus two solos of Camden. The back bar is wide open with edge seating and a pool table on a raised bit at the back, there is a beer garden beyond but I didn't check as I had a train to catch. A few T-bars in the back room but nothing special. It looked to be run by newcomers to the licensed trade.
