Trading Style

The Miners Arms is a community-oriented pub with a focus on providing a welcoming atmosphere for its loyal customer base. As a wet-only establishment, it currently offers a selection of beverages but has the potential to expand its offerings by introducing a back bar food menu, which could attract additional customers and enhance the overall experience. The pub’s reputation for showing televised sports and hosting live acts and entertainment on weekends makes it a popular destination for patrons looking for a lively and enjoyable experience. Darts and pool teams that use the pub for league matches during the week adds to the sense of community and camaraderie. This regular activity not only brings in additional business but also fosters a sense of belonging among locals who participate in or support these teams. Having a football team based at the pub further strengthens its ties to the local community and provides an opportunity to attract customers, particularly on Sundays post-match. This creates a bustling atmosphere and ensures that the pub remains a social hub for both players and supporters alike.
