About Us...

The Perfect Inspiration
The name Sonnet 43 was inspired by the Victorian poet Elizabeth Barret Browning, who was born and raised in Coxhoe, County Durham, the village our brewery calls home.

A renowned writer, Elizabeth was strong-willed and outspoken, refusing to conform to societal norms or follow the crowd - an attitude we deeply admire. Of her plethora of poems, Sonnet 43 moved us the most. The love she describes echoes our own passion and devotion to beer, in fact, we loved it so much we penned our own.

"This time to me is a quiet release,
It's a hug and a handshake, a break and belief. In gathering together with people we trust, We all take a moment to remember and fuss. Sit back and smile and wonder - Stand up and laugh about blunders. Lean a bit closer and gather round beer, Making a case that you all have to hear. "Another!" is cried from across the bar, It's gusto, it's guts, it's all taste and heart. So, create those moments around you, When building big plans with a nice view. Bring me a sonnet, a song, and my wallet, I love it when beer is the right brew."

Rooms:
We have a variety of bedrooms, from cosy doubles to executive sea-view suites, all offering a welcoming home away from home!
The Roker Hotel was built over 170 years ago and in this time has seen many additions and changes, so we would like you to note that no two of our 43 en-suite rooms are exactly the same. We love our little irregularities and believe these are what gives our hotel character and makes it different.
