So....The Miners Arms; recently taken over by Michael & Simmone.
I'll start with the deco - tastefully done throughout with old, antique furnishings and an open fire. Theres a little "snug" at the back, which is super cosy. There's a lovely chilled, relaxed atmosphere all round.
The pub is dog friendly with a "dog station." There's a play area for children in the beer garden & outdoor seating front & back. There's a large car park too.
A reduced menu is running at the moment until the kitchen is fully up & running. There's still a wide selection to choose from, and it's great quality with good-sized potions. We'll stocked bar with a great choice of gins, wines & beer.
The location is not too far from Ebchester boathouse and the Derwent walk, ideal to pop into after a long walk.
They have live music advertised on their Facebook page, which I will definitely be popping in to see (not to mention the free shot and nibbles offered😏).
This pub has everything you could want. They also do Sunday dinners, which look absolutely amazing.
Down to earth straightforward pub with home cooked food and a good pint. Went here with my husband on a quiet Monday lunchtime.. check opening times as pubs round here as they have limited opening days/times. Two ladies working today were lovely friendly and helpful. Menu is mostly typical pub grub but nice and simple and they do a daily board and special menu. My hubby wanted extras on his meal and they were happy to oblige.
Mince and dumplings, home made chips was lovely. Veg perfectly cooked. My only criticism was the dumpling were soft and a bit undercooked (expected them crispy). Hubby had ham, chips and egg with sausage on the side and cleaned his plate! Apple crumble was lush but custard wasn’t enough (teeny jug).
Cannot complain at all. All of that plus two rounds of drinks for £32! Amble parking plus an overspill car park. Kids play area out back.
NB. On getting seated we were told there was a wait for food as they had a group of around 14 ladies in having lunch….it took just under an hour from ordering to bring served but we were warned. Apart from the group it was mostly empty so if it’s busy, I can’t imagine how long you’d wait for your food! This is an observation and not a criticism.
Overall lovely place and will definitely be back and would 100% recommend.
Dropped in here for a quick drink and some lunch. This pub has new owners, they offer a fantastic warm welcome with excellent food.
Definitely coming back here again.
Highly recommended!
