About the pub
The Newton Grange is a lovely, community pub situated in Brasside, Durham. The pub benefits from being in an ideal location, just a 5 minute walk to the city centre.
Currently the site is delivering average weekly sales of £17,500 at a 60/40 wet led split. It's the perfect spot for community events and is popular for family occasions.
