Highly recommend Caps off. A bit tricky to find hidden away on an industrial estate but persevere because it’s class! We’ve been several times and service is always great. Staff are friendly, helpful and always grafting. They are super dog friendly with free water and treats readily available and even a dogs of the bar photo wall. The frozen strawberry daiquiris are fantastic! Food is outstanding and really well priced for the excellent quality. We’ve both eaten in and takeaway and never had any issue with orders or quality. It was crowded when we went for a gig but service was still very quick. Best bar in bish

Enjoyed a visit to Caps Off brewery for their beer festival while staying in Witton-le-Wear for a holiday. A great selection of Caps Off beers plus some guest bears. A nice chilled atmosphere and good service from the bar staff. Would definitely return for more beer. Cheers

Caps off brewery is very well laid out inside. Brewery on one side and then bar and kitchen on the other. Seating, there are tables and benches to sit on. There is also a sofa area as well. Inside there is plenty of patio heaters to keep the building warm. Bar wise, Caps Off own beers to chose from and they have a varied range and are always excellent beers. Food is rotational on a Saturday with different food vendors coming in. Saturday nights will occasionally host bands as well. It’s one of the best tap rooms around and is really worth the effort to find it.

Bit of an odd location but great beer inside. I also think they keep a kidnapped 3 star Michelin chef in the box outside as the food is amazing

Great little brewery. Visited for a family christening as the after church celebration was here. Plenty of choice for the ales. I had the pale ale and it was fantastic. The buffet they provided was a mix of hot/cold choices and it was delicious. Plenty of parking available outside and a great location away from town.

Wonderful cosy & welcoming environment with a huge variety of Beer & Spirits. There is also freshly brewed Coffee available which is delicious, 10x better quality than anything else in the area. The staff are polite and helpful, Chloe was on hand to answer any questions I had regarding various beers. I will definitely be returning to Caps Off, a fantastic local business with quality products and top customer service.
