The Honest Boy is situated in the heart of the village of Blackfell, Washington. The village comprises a range of local amenities and independent businesses, as well as a primary school. Blackfell is a densely populated area, resulting in several surrounding chimney pots overlooking the pub. When Washington New Town was developed, each village was provided with its own industrial estate to support local employment. The Honest Boy benefits from strong transport links, with easy access to major roads including the A1(M), and is served by regular bus services throughout the day.
The pub comprises two main trading areas. Recently refurbished both internally and externally to a high standard, the main bar can comfortably accommodate up to fifty covers, with flexible loose seating and space for vertical drinking. This area also features a wall of dartboards, a pool table, multiple televisions, and a large projector screen, making it ideal for live sporting events throughout the year. Adjoining the main bar is a spacious function room that performs well for local family celebrations, live music and private parties. Tastefully refurbished, the room offers a combination of low-level bench seating and loose seating, with a blend of wooden and tiled flooring. Attractive wall coverings are complemented by a lower seating area featuring carpeted flooring and softer furnishings, creating a versatile and welcoming space for both diners and private events. A prominent bar and dedicated DJ booth further enhance the room’s appeal. The lounge/function room is accessible via the pub or through a separate external entrance.
The private accommodation is located on the first floor of the pub and is generously spacious, with three bedrooms, a kitchen, a living room, and a bathroom.
