For those still interested we’re looking for at least one more man and one more woman to sign up for our singles night!

We're looking at starting a monthly Singles Night at The Half Moon, beginning with an Over 50s Speed Dating evening.

There will be a £10 fee, which goes directly towards restoring The Half Moon and supporting the heritage project.

If you're reading this and think you might be interested just drop us a quick message saying "Interested".

If we reach the right numbers, we'll be in touch with the details.

We are still looking, so if this sounds like something you'd enjoy, let us know and help us shape a new community night at darlingtons oldest pub.

Just 8 Days to Go!

There’s still plenty of time to book for our Charcuterie & Cheeseboard Evening on Wednesday 11th November.

Doors from 6pm, seated for 6.30pm serving.

Our beautifully prepared Charcuterie & Cheeseboards are £20 and serve two people, so bring a friend and enjoy a lovely evening of great food and good company, all for just a tenner each.

Settle in by the coal fire and candlelight, tuck into a freshly prepared board served straight to your table, and enjoy a relaxed evening with us.

We’ve also sourced a lovely selection of quality wines especially for the evening, alongside our usual range of locally brewed beers and other drinks.

Booking is easy: just drop us an inbox message and we’ll reserve your table and board for two.

We’d love to see you on the 11th. Come along, get cosy by the fire and enjoy a good old-fashioned evening of food, drink and company.
