Community Pub with Potential
Dr Syntax is a family-friendly community pub in the centre of Prudhoe, south Northumberland. Prudhoe is approximately 11 miles west of Newcastle-upon-Tyne and predominantly a commuter town for Newcastle. The pub is located on the main thoroughfare through the town centre, alongside a mix of shops and other local businesses and surrounded by residential properties. Dr Syntax is enjoyed by the local community, who visit for a drink, Sunday lunch, and entertainment in the form of live sports, live music, discos, and pub games.
