Pub Layout

As you enter the pub you can sense the history and this has been carefully and lovingly restored, tastefully updating areas where needed but keeping it’s traditional feel. As you enter there is a central bar which is the hub of the pub serving both sides. To the right it a cosy snug room with an impressive brick fireplace which is a fantastic addition in the colder months. This room also has darts, games machines and a range of seating. Just off this room is a hidden gem, a vaulted ceiling room which has the pool table perfectly placed in the middle with fixed seating around the edge. To the left of the main entrance is a split level dining area, the warm and comfy tables just past the bar and this leads to a light and airy space with multiple tables. Tucked away at the end is a lower level which has yet again more tables, the whole dining area feels inviting and with it’s home cooked menu it is well received by locals. Outside, the pub has a car park and small selection of seating for customers to soak up the sun in the warmer months.

The Miners Arms needs an experienced licensee or couple who have run a pub and food establishment previously. Having a good knowledge of the local area will be helpful as the pub is much loved by the locals. We would want our new licensee to continue the Miner’s high standards, including the fresh food offer and a strong rhythm of the week, as well as hosting good entertainment whilst embracing the sports teams which currently include darts, pool and football.

We are currently working on an internal and external re-furbishment, with a courtyard enhancement project.
