Welcome to The Tawny Owl

The Tawny Owl is well known in Hurworth and across Darlington as a fine country pub. A popular pub restaurant famous for great food, ours is one of the oldest buildings in the area. There is always a warm welcome with roaring log fires, freshly prepared food, a great selection of real ales and a diverse wine menu for you to choose from.

A Little Pub History

The Tawny Owl is one of the oldest buildings in Darlington, a town steeped in history. Beginning as an Anglo-Saxon settlement on the River Skerne, it was later taken over by the Danes, a fact that explains the number of place names in the area with a Viking origin. The Tawny Owl provides the ideal setting to relax, eat and drink, surrounded by history and heritage.
