Dining at The Miners

The Miners Arms has fast acquired the reputation for the place to eat on Alston Moor with its selection of high quality cuisine. The standard menu offers a selection of house fayré including the very popular Italian wood fired pizzas. There is also a selection of specials changed daily on the 'specials wall'. There is
always a wide choice of starters and main dishes with plenty for vegetarians to choose from - oh and lets not forget the sweets and whipped ice cream. Children are catered for with their own specials menu.miners021

There is a good selection of wines, house wines from the Oliver & Greg's range sold in both 187ml and 70cl bottles (those with a more expensive palette ask to visit the cellar).

As the Miners Arms is becoming more popular as a place to eat it is often fully booked so it is advisable to make a reservation in advance (particularly on Saturdays).

Residents can also enjoy our extensive breakfast menu. We challenge you to find a better start to the day anywhere, with our selection of fruit juices, yoghurts, cereals and porridge, followed by·The Miners Big Breakfast - featuring locally dry cured bacon, pork sausages with natural skins, and Pennines black pudding.

Whether straight off the Pennine hills with a hunger generated by all that fresh air or a more formal dining treat, The Miners caters equally well for every occasion.
