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 its traditional feel. As you enter there is a central bar which is the hub of the pub serving both sides. To the right is 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 its home-cooked menu it is well received by locals. Outside, the pub has a car park and a small selection of seating for customers to soak up the sun in the warmer months.
Trading Style: The Miners Arms is a truly popular local community pub offering an excellent range of drink and food. Known for its traditional food offer, the pub is particularly popular on Sundays when the Miner’s loyal, ever-returning customers flock to the pub for a Sunday roast. Traditional meals are also available throughout the week, as well as having special offers such as burger night and steak nights. There’s always plenty going on at the Miners Arms, with karaoke nights, televised sport (Sky and BT), the occasional band, disco and karaoke nights, and the darts, pool, and football teams gather here weekly. It is well loved by all generations in the area and is a solid community pub.
Accommodation: Private Accommodation - The private accommodation is located on the first floor of the pub and comprises three large bedrooms, a kitchen, living room, and bathroom.
Financial:
BDM Vision: 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.
Future Plans: We are currently working on an internal and external refurbishment, with a courtyard enhancement project.
