Miners Arms, Medomsleyback to pub details please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
This used to be one of our favourite eating places, until it changed hands. Now it is not worth visiting. Very disappointing and a real letdown after the previous people had built up a wonderful atmosphere.

Real disappointment since the takeover of this pub early this year. Often frequented for the friendly 'oldy woldy lovely village atmophere, and very decent food' gone downhill greatly. what a shame.

i think this pub is stuck in a time warp, very oldy worldy and dining area very cramped.
food was ok but not in a hurry to go back

Called in many a time on the way home from work...sometimes its open sometimes its not - don't really get the pattern and as theres no opening times published its kinda difficult to judge.
Don't go out of your way unless your passing that way anyway.
Its nice enough but the opening hours are a total mystery.

Very welcoming quaint village pub with pleasant staff.
Usual selection of pub grub but look a little further at the superb a la carte menu and you're in for a treat. My steak was cooked to perfection and my partner's Seabass with curried potatoes and coconut & ginger sauce didn't just work, it exceeded all expectations.
I was politely told the desserts were all homemade by the landlady herself, so couldn't resist a dabble at the Raspberry & Apple Crumble. I've since heard that the Miners is renowned for the best fruit crumble ever. I have to agree!

Nice pub, very nice barman! Scampi and chips, scampi ok, disappointed by frozen chips however.

Five adjectives: Large, French provencial d�cor, Sedate but not stuffy, Upscale village pub
Upon moving to the Consett area, several locals recommended this place as the best dining pub in the area. Cautioned that an advance booking might be required at dinner, I opted to try it out first for lunch. Clearly more of a restaurant than a drinking �local� it�s large and pleasantly decorated with a soft French provencial touch.
The barkeep (who looked like Jake from Jilly Cooper�s Riders) wasn�t the friendliest of fellows, and the scampi & chips I ordered from the specials on the blackboard was utterly unremarkable. Still, the side salad exceeded all expectation for pub grub, and the nearby diner�s sandwiches looked worth a try next time. And the waitress spoke knowledgeable about the local cricket team!
