The Copt Hill Inn

About The Copt Hill Inn

Under new ownership since 2022, the much-loved Copt Hill Inn at Houghton-le-Spring has undergone a complete transformation. And as part of the root and branch refurbishment it’s been filled with rare memorabilia, so whilst enjoying your food and drink you can gaze upon everything from a Dumbo print signed by Walt Disney to Nigel Mansell’s racing helmet and the Beatles’ birth certificates! It’s open six days a week, plus Bank Holiday Mondays, and you can enjoy traditional bar snacks, hand-stretched dough pizzas, burgers, sharing boards, grill dishes and their signature main courses. There’s also a proper Sunday Lunch served with a weekly changing menu. The bar showcases real ales from some of the North East’s best local breweries and they serve their very own gin from their Poetic License Distillery. And then there’s the view – which stretches for miles. Well-behaved dogs are welcome too.
