Most Disliked
Some visitors note that the menu can occasionally be limited, especially during the transitional phase while the kitchen gets fully up and running, which can restrict the availability of certain favorite dishes.
As with many popular pubs, peak times can lead to overcrowding, especially on Sundays when the pub reaches full capacity around 1 PM. Reservations are recommended to avoid disappointment.
A few reviews mention that during busy hours, service can be slower than expected. However, the quality of the food generally outweighs these minor drawbacks, with diners remaining loyal.

Visited the miners yesterday for a family meal which was absolutely delicious. We ordered a classic cheeseburger, chicken burger, lasagne and mixed grill special. Everything was cooked perfectly and was full of flavour. Their homemade chunky chips are to die for! Portion sizes are very generous to say the least. Perfect place for a tasty home cooked meal without the trouble of cooking yourself.

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.

What a fantastic find this was amazing country pubs serving amazing food, with plenty of choice on the menu and specials board. I came with my wife and stepson yesterday and had the inferno burger, whilst not an inferno as such, it was very tasty and extremely filling, desserts really good too, I'd recommend the Lemon Meringue Cheesecake! Great fast service, would definitely come back to try some of the other dishes. Very very reasonably priced too!

A cosy, clean and friendly little English pub, well worth a look in.The Best burger I've had in a long time. It had salad and a dressing on. Well worth it!! Even the chips were lush. The kind waitress and chef even went to the trouble of splitting our one pudding order into dishes giving us both ice-cream and custard. As we were stuffed from the filling burger. We couldn't of asked for more. Pity i didn't a tip dish.
