Nothing in the GBG; surely there's at least one ok pub in the town?

That's a good walk from the center of Hexham...especially with a few
beers inside!   Does anybody know if the Globe or Tap and Spile are
still open ?

My experience with Hexham goes back a few years, and the pubs in
town were alright, BUT ... I really gotta say, The Dipton Mill
Inn was well worth the drive out! The ales were wonderful and
the meals were incredible. On our trip, we first drove out
in the daytime and walked the hike that begins and ends
at the pub, stopping for a few beers. That convinced us to
take the drive again in the evening for a meal. Well
worth it. I am really pleased to see that the Dipton Mill
Inn is still going strong. We worried that the crackdown on
over-limit driving might kill it off.

yep, I'm familiar with the Dipton Mill but, like the Crown Inn,
Catton.  You need somewhere else to drive.  The Crown is the brewery
tap for the Allendale Brewery.  Gotta be worth a shot!

There's a Wetherspoons with cinema, off the Market Square. There are a 
couple of other real ale pubs in the town centre, I'll post details later 
(not at hand currently)

There's also the famous Rat Inn at Anick which is just about within walking 
distance.

It's come to mind, the Wetherspoons is the forum. And I think the Tap & 
Spile is still open (Battle Hill)
