Miners Arms in Copeland

Lovely pub to go for a drink. Only pub close to where we were staying. No food served here. Dog friendly. Closed Monday and Tuesday. Close to request stop railway station. Open 2pm til pub empty. Makes sence. Friendly people.

Great little pub unfortunately as of Spring 2022 they cannot seem to get a chef so currently not doing food. Still a nice place to call for a drink, good outside space and some good beers and ciders.

The locals are in here as well as holiday makers, decent standard pub food at a pub food price, with the lasagne a firm favourite of repeat bookers that seemed to live there. Friendly, a real ale winner, and all the rest, plenty of parking, but perfect to walk to if you are staying. Check opening hours as covid/brexit has hammered all the lake district pubs and I'm sure this used to be open more. Only downer was it says "for sale" would be tragic if Silecroft lost this pub, I've been coming for 50 years to this beach, will be making this pub a regular visit to try to keep it going.

We were staying within walking distance but they don't open during the day so we weren't able to go for drinks after our walks and they aren't serving food as apparently they don't have a chef. You can't find any information about this pub as they don't have a website and there fb page isn't regularly updated.

Have eaten here a couple of times now. They have a good choice of beer and the food is very good. The staff are great and do a good job with the table service currently required. Best onion rings ever!

Really enjoyed the fresh homemade ‘proper pub food’. Staff were welcoming, service was good and everyone on our table enjoyed the food which was delicious. Also felt safe in light of Covid, with staff wearing masks and social distancing in place.

The pub was nice, the staff were friendly, the food was OK but the selection was very small, the menu consisted of Vegetable Soup, Frozen Scampi, Lasagna, Burger or Sausage, the veg were frozen and the chips were frozen. Deserts offered were Brownie or Ice cream. We were looking forward to some good home cooked food but unfortunately we were very disappointed.

Silecroft is a tiny place with only 1 pub. We ate there twice in 4 days. The food was tasty and all home cooked. The lasagne was a tad odd as it is was “sloppy” -) I can’t think of another word to describe it) It was tasty and very well presented but very wet. The burger I had was excellent, my OH had fish all tasted excellent. Good service, friendly people, reasonable prices. Good value for money.

We had a lovely takeaway from here last night, with plenty of vegetarian options available (soup, pizzas, main course burger). I had an ale (wonderful after ages of no cask ales) while the meal was prepared. Cumberland sausage was wonderful!Lots of effort put into providing a safe experience and very nice food too! My only quibble was that the only bottled beer to take away were the usual boring lagers and the menu wasn't that accessible if you were phoning in (maybe put a daily photo on your facebook page?). But would go back again if in the area

Had a really nice meal in here post-lockdown. The burgers & Ale were really good! Been in a few times over the last year and have enjoyed every meal :) Everything was also Super safe and they were following all the guidance re COVID 19 Will be back soon! Thank you!

Fixed menu choice and some daily specials, good quality ingredients, well cooked to order and presented. Attentive staff, good country pub decor and atmosphere. Also caters for group bookings in restaurant and function room, which was reassuringly well patronized throughout the week. We used the pub 4 days in our 7 day stay in Silecroft, consistently good value for money on each visit. The landlord was happy for us to park our motorhome overnight, very helpful.

It's a long time since ive been here so thought I'd give it a try as we had family visiting. We were the only people eating at the time but waited nearly an hour for starters. Not a good start but they were nice to be fair so no major problem. Unfortunately, after another long wait the mains weren't great. One got sent back as it wasn't hot but it must have been nuked as on return the chicken was inedible. My Gammon was dry too. Overall we were disappointed with the food but 5☆ to the girl waiting on...on her own...she never stopped.

Decent food and pleasant waitress nice beer. Need to watch the opening hours and when food is served as they are irregular

Although we don’t live in the area, the miners is a regular dinner place when we visit. The beers are great and the food good. The fire keeps you warm in the cold weather and there is a relaxed atmosphere. Always made to feel welcome

Had a number of bar meals here now and not had a bad one yet. The food is very good and served by friendly waitresses. You can eat in the bar, which is dog friendly or go through to the dining room if you prefer. Tonight we had another good meal. I had, to start, the garlic mushrooms and my husband had home made tomato soup, followed by the ‘special’ of lamb shank in a port wine gravy and even though we were stuffed, went on to have dessert, I had the Oreo blonde special and my husband had sticky toffee pudding. All the food was excellent, we would definitely recommend The Miners as a good place to eat.

Very few places to eat in this vicinity, thank goodness for The Miners. The menu was quite extensive and catered for most tastes, at a reasonable price. Beer's good too!

We ate here on the last night of our stay - starters were gorgeous and well presented- the mains were equally tasty and the portion sizes were more than generous- the waitress, although busy, was helpful and attentive— overall highly recommended

Excellent food, freshly prepared and reasonably priced. Lamb shank, cod and scampi were lovely. Great service too.

Nos alojamos el fin de semana y nos hicieron sentir muy bienvenidos. Las habitaciones están bien amuebladas si no son grandes. El desayuno estaba listo exactamente cuando lo pedimos y adaptado a nuestra elección. El menú del restaurante es bueno, con suficiente variedad y aunque tuvimos que esperar porque estaba muy ocupado, lo disfrutamos cuando llegó.

La calidad era muy alta en el servicio de comida y ambiente en un lugar muy acogedor. Tuvimos una variedad de mini hamburguesas, papas fritas en un balde ¡eran deliciosas! También pedimos el pollo en blackpudding y eso fue realmente excepcional! ? ¿Estaré en mi lista de visitas la próxima vez que visite los lagos? recomendaría altamente?

Good food, excellent service, locals all very chatty and pleasant, huge log burner in snug, dogs allowed, all reasonably priced with good menu selection. What's not to like?

We were staying nearby and found the Miners Arms on a Google search..... so glad we did! The food was outstanding, all 4 of us thoroughly enjoyed our meals. The portions were very generous and the menu was well priced. Service was also brilliant. A special thank you to the lovely young waitress (whose name I did not get) who appeared to single handedly wait on all tables for food and drink, clear up and make sure everyone in the restaurant area was well looked after.... she was a gem! Should we return to the area again we will be straight back here. Best meal out for a good while!

After a 15km walk it was a perfect place to stop to warm up, get a tasty meal and recharge. The puddings were especially devine! Good selection of dishes for mains. Would go back.

Nos detuvimos a cenar aquí después de un largo paseo hasta Black Combe y la deliciosa comida era justo lo que necesitábamos. Todos sabían frescos y caseros: recomiendo bistec y pastel de ale y pollo al curry, ¡y los postres también eran deliciosos! El servicio en el bar y la mesa era muy amable y eficiente.

Booked the Snug for a special family celebration and it was perfect. The service was brilliant and every dish arrived as we had requested it and it was delicious! Prices are very good too!

Llamados en el lugar apagado: posibilidad de una comida para 4 adultos y 1 niño, no parecían eliminados en absoluto. Buena comida casera, abundante y buenos precios. Marido muy impresionado con las cervezas Real a un precio muy bueno (más barato que en casa). No tenía mucha hambre, así que me dejaron elegir la comida de un niño, también muy buena.

Really enjoyed my meals at the Miner’s Arms. The ingredients were obviously fresh & very flavoursome. The staff were all friendly & efficient.

Sehr nettes Personal, gutes lokales Bier, Fish&Chips; nur zu empfehlen. Guter Zwischenstopp- Zimmer sind gut und tolles Bad!

Visited here during our family holiday in the lakes one evening. Staff extremely friendly and helpful. The waitress made a fuss of the kids and got the colouring books etc. Service was great and the food was fantastic. Had a bacon/cheeseburger that was one of the best I’ve ever tasted. Highly recommend this little place.

We had delicious freshly prepared locally sourced food with a warm friendly welcome. All members of the family aged 2 to 71 were happy. Totally recommend.

We had the leek and garlic soup with crusty bread to start, delicious ! Our main course was steak pie, chunky chips, fresh veg and a jug of gravy to dip the chips in. The pie crust was buttery and crisp, the chips were the best we’d had in a long time ! We even squeezed a dessert in ! My husband had the hot chocolate brownie with ice cream and I had the orange and lemon cheesecake, both were yummy The staff were very friendly and the service was excellent. The drinks were good too and everything was very reasonably priced. I would recommend The Miners arms to everyone visiting the area

Visited with the extended family on Sat 15th August.

Had a great meal here with my wife and son, will definitely recommend, also a great selection of real ales.

We stayed the weekend and were made very welcome. The rooms are well furnished if not large. The breakfast was ready exactly when we asked for it and tailored to our choice. The restaurant menu is good with sufficient choice and although we had to wait because it was so very busy we enjoyed it when it arrived.

great little pub nice food and a good atmosphere will visit again can be a little bit pricy ideal for a bite to eat after playing at the local golf coursr

We were visiting family in Bootle and looking for somewhere nearby to eat, so thought we would give the place a try. It was quite busy but we were seated easily and the menu options were good. The girl who served us was also very friendly and helpful. I had the beetroot, goats cheese and butternut squash burger and really enjoyed it. My partner had the fajitas which were a generous portion. Overall great food and service and we have recommended our family members try it out too.

Really nice place. Very friendly staff and locals. Lovely wood burning stove which was very welcoming, and a truly historic homemade steak and ale pie with proper hand cut chips. Good local real ale, what more could you want.

Good food and beer - what more could you want? Friendly staff and usually 2 - 3 real ale, Hardknott brewery in Millom supplied one of the craft ales, very morish! Poole table, darts and a roaring log fire, Will be back soon!

Just visited The Miners Arms and after a cheerful welcome in pleasant surroundings we ordered 4 different main course which ranged from a good vegetarian course and a mixed meat selection and haddock course which were ok but nothing to write home about but the steak and ale pie was dry and uninviting. A mild comment to the landlord resulted in a response that “we pride ourselves in the quality of our pies”. Well I remember better school dinners I am sorry to say

Went here twice. Once for drinks and another time for dinner within a week. Both times we had a good experience. Food and atmosphere was good.

The owner is extremely rude. Made to feel unwelcome by her and we left within 10 minutes leaving our drinks. We had heard she was like this but we never thought it would be that bad. I will never set foot back in there again. Its not nice and looks like a community centre rather than a pub. Why you have gone into hospitality I will never know. Avoid at all cost!

Service and staff are great and could not fault the atmosphere created however food was very much average pub food and the menu is slightly different from what is online (no duck, lamb or lasagne, however states this online). One bonus is there are gluten free options (including the chips) and the chef must have knowledge as I am a coeliac and ate there without issue, so safe place to eat.

Locals did not like us popping in... we turned up with our dog, and did not feel welcome... Next night, went for some food, and decided to eat outside, to avoid anyone getting funny over our dog. when i walked in the bar maid gave...

Went here for a meal with family and friends. The staff were accommodating and friendly and the food was really well cooked and tasty. Great value for money too. Lovely atmosphere.

Popped down for a few pints and a bit of scram. The beers are very good, the food for pub food is excellent and very tasty. The service and venue are both excellent as well. I had the gammon and my partner had Cumberland sausage,...

Had an early evening meal and both of us enjoyed the food. Pub itself is OK but the hard wooden chairs make your bottom ache by the time you have finished your meal,

Comimos en el bar de al lado de la chimenea, que era muy acogedor. Nos dieron una cálida bienvenida y un servicio amable. Este pub tiene un encanto relajante cómodo, un buen lugar para relajarse y disfrutar de la buena comida.

We were a party of 5 girls on a Saturday evening, just popping in for a meal and a cheeky vino. The staff were friendly and accommodating, the service was good and the food was nice. Good vegetarian menu.

Had the pleasure of eating at the miners on two occasions whilst enjoying the local walks around the area, both times the food and atmosphere was great , just what was needed after yopping around the lakes with an angry wife in tow, it did the world in calming her down ready for the next day of fun. Would recommend the steak and the pie both equally as good

The pub is very welcoming and full of charm. The handpicked local beer was good. We chose to eat in the bar rather than the dining room. We had Cumberland sausage and a fillet steak. The food was good, but nothing out of the ordinary. I would visit again. It is right next to the train station which would be useful if not wanting to drive.

Main meal was either beef or pork, the beef was very red in the middle, had to be returned but when returned was too tough to enjoy.Pork was very nicely cooked and enjoyed very much.Paster Bake was one large lump of broccoli, poor preparation by chef

Stayed here for 17 nights while working away from home.Great accommodation, great food, well looked after by all the staff.Made very welcome by all.The locals were good fun too.Looking forward to returning soon.

Tried the 3 guest ales over the two nights..The Hawkshead gold was spot on as was the hesket haystacks... Black pudding bacon starter then a matured fillet steak..Around 9 onz with usual trimmings...There are many puddings but I was way too full after my starter and main...Even though I'm not vegetarian there was about 6 option there too...Very, very good real ale to go with it to..

Food was excellent place was great staff great friendly locals couldnt ask for more only thing was the roads outside were quite dark, the beer garden was great and they were great with the kids

Pub was warm and comfortable, meals were a decent size but average. Lasagne was dry and steak was overcooked (for £23 I should have sent it back but wanted to eat as a group). Would eat there again if I was in the area but wouldn't go out of my way to visit.

This is the second time I have vistied the miners and once again found it very good value for an excellent meal I had the miners Duo almost a mixed grill with gammon and Cumberland sausage with black pudding fried egg Nd chops superb

Warm, welcoming, good beers, excellent food (best Cumberland sausage I can remember!), popular with locals and dog friendly. What's not to like! Will definitely visit again if we are in the area.

Great little local pub, ideally located for a drink and bite to eat after an afternoon of horse riding on the beach with Murthwaite Green Trekking centre, just down the road. There was plenty of choice on the menu but having a real healthy appetite, we both went for burgers. They had an option of single, double or mini burgers so you could have the option of trying a few different flavours. They were all delicious - I especially enjoyed the Lamb. We will be back again.

Good local pub that suits everyone. We had a very nice meal there freshly cooked. Other half liked the beer. Staff were very friendly.

Visited on a recommendation, definitely justified. Food was tasty and well presented, staff were friendly. Would recommend and eat there again ourselves.

We had a drink and an evening meal at the Miners Arms and were really impressed by the quality of the food. The staff at the bar was very friendly and helpful. Dogs are allowed in the bar area.

This being the only pub in the village it is fortunate that this family run establishment caters adequately for locals and visitors alike. It's bright and airy with a lovely beer garden and offers a good selection of beers along with a varied menu. Not much for gluten free diets though. We had dinner there twice in two days. Say no more!

Only glad to oblige and explore the Father's Day Menu - started off with the Black Pudding, very good. Mains were the Surf & Turf and Fish & Chips. Both outstanding washed down with a couple of locally sourced real ales ( these are both very good ). No dessert required...Full!Been before & will be going again. Keep up the good work!

Excellent service. Tasty meals. Varied menu. Very good value. Pub been refurbished to high standard. Dining room is lovely

Great food and friendly and helpful staff! Nicely decorated. Prices higher from chain pubs but what they offer justify them! We had a good time there

I was camping down the road with my family and this seemed to be the only place to eat for quite a distance. So I felt I was eating there through necessity not choice. However I was pleasantly surprised. The menu gave reasonable choice and there were a bunch of extra "father's Day" specials available. Both courses were fresh and presented well. The food was good and I would highly recommend.

We came across this place by chance we'd as almost given up finding somewhere to eat. Food was excellent as was the service. Would definitely return if we are in the area

This PH was recommended to us by the owner of Horse and Husky as a good place to eat whilst staying nearby. Although the bar is utilitarian, there is a reasonable restaurant area which has a good menu. The food was very nice and the service matched it. We were glad we went.

Friendly pub with good plain food, the portions were just right -filling but not overfacing. chips were good the steak and ale pie excellent. Service with a smile and reasonable prices.

Although the pub was very quiet on the day we visited, we were left waiting for quite a while before we were brought any menu's and the service all appeared to be being carried out by one girl, who was very pleasant.The food when it arrived was very good and the selection of beers was also good. I would be wary of going if the pub was busy.

Great food and service. Good home-cooked food. Good prices. Lovely log fire making it warm and toasty as it was quite cold when we visited.

What a lovely find, my boyfriend and I have been to eat here twice and both times the welcome was great, the food fantastic (I would really recommend the prawn cocktail) and service excellent. We would happily eat here again.

Very friendly service and the food was excellent. They also had strawberry beer which the wife was very happy about. Good choice on the menu and not a bad price.

Visited for an evening supper on a cold day, lovely warm fire to greet us. Menu was ok, the food was hot but I would have liked more vegetables with my pie, the broccoli let the meal down as it was old and yellow in colour. The pie was nice but the pastry a little soggy, might have been the way it was re-heated. The home made fruit crumble was lovely. With a few tweets the rating would be much higher. I would try it again.

Went here as King Billy was full. Was not disappointed and will go again. Varied menu. Had T bone steak which was a special on the day. One or two local ales which were nice too!!

The Miners is a friendly, family run pub in Silecroft. The food is home cooked, fresh and delicious. We visited one evening with our dog. Even though it was one of the quietest periods of the year, there was still a nice atmosphere. The pub is very clean and well maintained. I sample the trio of sliders (mini burgers) and my wife has the fish and chips. Prices are average. £10 for a main. The beer is well maintained. with a couple of local brews on hand pump.

Working all over the UK and finding lttle gems like this makes been away from home all the easier.Please dont judge this by its kirb appeal, what lies inside is credit to its owner.Great rooms and excelent food with father and son on hand.

We recently stayed in Silecroft and ate here on two occasions.The choice of real ales is amazing, the staff were all very friendly (Not sure if the guy stood at the bar was part of the family) but he was extremely friendly and knowledgeable on the range of beers and ciders. The food was very tasty and very hot. the beers were really well presented and well priced. Would defiantly use this pub again on our next visit, Hidden gem :)Recommend this to anyone who enjoys real ales and tasty freshly cooked food, A1 to the Miners arms.

The Miner's Arms recently went through a kitchen refurbishment and for several days we were at a loss as to where to eat because as pub food goes this is up there.Service is generally quite quick too.They produce quite a wide range including their take on a chicken curry. Old stand-bys like fish beer battered haddock and chips with peas, burgers, shepher's pie, beef and ale pie, prawn mayo to name but a few.The beer on offer is local and the house wine in particular is reasonably priced.To their credit they offer versions of several dishes for those with lesser appetites and reflect this in the pricing too.Worth a visit if you're tired and hungry.Nice wood burners going in winter.

My wife and I stopped off here whilst staying in Bootle. We showed up at 17:45 but the pub didn't open until 18:00. Thankfully the owner saw us waiting around outside and let us in early. When inside there was a lovely wood burner in the bar which gave that warm country pub feel to the place. We ordered drinks and politely waited until after 18:00 to order food. We waited about 30 minutes for food which for a country pub that's family ran is more than reasonable. The reviews on here that are complaining the wait times are excessive are laughable. I fully recommend any chain such as Jamie or Gordon's restaurants to fulfill your 20 minute turn around needs. Patience is a virtue, please show some respect to the countryside or stick to central London next time.The food is fantastic. Real, authentic pub food which is done to a high standard. The selection of drinks is wide and would satisfy most needs. The staff were very friendly and chatty and catered to our needs. Overall I recommend anyone in the area pay this pub a visit providing you don't want food served yesterday of course.

Lovely meals, staff mainly friendly and warm. Only place to eat in Silecroft but well worth a visit.

Great warm atmosphere. Very good food and friendly staff, we had a lovely time we went there to eat twice in two nights

Traditional pub with dining room and old fashioned bar with wood burner fire. We ate from the small portion menu and a good meal which was plenty for lunch time. The beer was really well kept - recommended.

I recently visited The Miners Arms, one evening, with no expectation of anything beyond average, a prophecy that The Miners handsomely delivered on. Normally I wouldn't bother with a review. You goes average, ya gets average where's the drama? Well that came in the form of the service. Or should I say lack of service? Now I fully appreciate that things move slower in the countryside than in the city but, in a half empty restaurant, am I being picky in thinking that 1 hour 45 minutes for a starter, main course and bill arriving is a tad too long?? I'm glad I didn't order dessert or I may have passed the milkman out on his rounds, as I left the car park!! After an hour and a half I actually had to go to the bar to ask for our bill, which still took another 10 or so minutes to get to us! Happily the waitress could laugh it off with a 'oh I forgot you were round here!' Haha, did you? Oh you big silly, maybe next time we'll let off a flare eh? I guess the forgetfulness was contagious, as when I left I completely forgot to leave a tip!! Fancy that eh? I wonder if the previous months visit of Paul Merton had left the staff starstruck and unable to function properly? Well Miners Arms Have I Got News For You....YOU SUCK!!!! Many thanks.....

Having used the pub for drinks over several days whilst on holiday we were looking forward to trying the restaurant. Booked a table for 5 people at 7pm (including 1 child aged 5) Waited 1 hour for food with no apologies for delay. Every time we chased the order we were told it's just coming. When food arrived it was almost thrown on the table by the waitress who was so rude. Only a few other tables in, expensive but food ok. If the service had been better the review definitely would have been higher. Didn't go back which was a shame as still had 4 nights of holiday left. If you are staying in the area but have a designated driver try other local pubs.

I`ve stayed twice at the miners and found it excellent,the staff and the locals friendly and welcoming.The food I tried good and value for money,full english very good and filling.For a single traveller B&B can be a little expensive £70 whilst we paid £90 for a double,there are no single rooms.

Amazing pub, great food, good atmosphere. Lovely location with a stunning beach a couple of minutes away. Great breakfast too!

We stayed in Silecroft for a week and were very lucky to have such a nice pub on our doorstep. Excellent food with very generous portions and some great real BEERS to go with it. The staff and landlord are all very friendly and helpful and the service is brilliant. Would definitely return.

Lovely food, generous portions and a great wine list. Good garden for a drinks as well. Has a good-sized menu with nice variety including some vegetarian options.

We stayed at a caravan site a couple of miles from here, its well off the beaten track on the Cumbria coast in the south lakes. We popped in on the way back to the van for a few in the very well kept nice beer garden. the local beers were very well kept and went down a treat. The following evening the weather was really bad, no BBQ by the van tonight, so we went back to the miners for evening meal. Staff very friendly, menu is not massive, but has the usual pub favourites topped off with some good "Gastro Pub" style specials. I had a pan fried chicken, black pudding and pancetta meal with locally sourced produce which was brilliant, and the missus had a lamb hot pot cobbler that she says was the nicest shes had. The two kids meals were demolished in no time as well. Sticky toffee pudding made with real dates for a change finished off the meal a treat. At £60 for two courses and two rounds of drinks for 2 adults and two kids I thought was about the right price for the great quality of the food, not cheap but worth the money.

Myself my husband and my daughter aged 7 ate here and it was wonderful. Good lovely, freshly cooked and homemade. We waited a while for food but when it came it tasted really good and well worth the wait.We will return if we are in the area

We've dined here several times and it continues to be a great place for honest pub grub. The Cumberland sausage is fabulous and the steak and ale pie is also well prepared. Good honest food with nice beer and ok wine list. Well worth the visit but you'll need to book - it's very popular with locals!

We have been here on numerous occasions as we live locally, both before and after we have had children, the food is wonderful and always tastes fantastic, steaks cooked to perfection! They have a good range of beers too.The beer garden is toddler friendly as it is gated off from the road. Great place to visit.

My wife and I visited this week and thoroughly enjoyed our food and drinks here.The bar staff and waitress were very nice.We only found the place because of an A board sign along the road which one could easily miss,therefore us the Post Code if you have Sat Nav.They also have a quiz on Monday evening if that is of interest.

Nice and friendly bar staff, good waitress service, food very good. Nothing to much trouble, would go there again

Nice place, good service and the food was very good. The portion sizes are good for the price. The beer was a decent price too.

We visited The Miners' Arms for lunch and ordered gammon and lamb and apricot cobbler. The meat was outstanding and the gammon huge! All their meat comes from the local butchers so I'm assuming it was Herdwick I was eating. The veg was freshly cooked and although we waited about 20 mins it was well worth it since it was obvious that it was being cooked there and then. It is a nice, quiet country pub and a very relaxing wait. THe young lady who served us was extremely polite and helpful and the pub is only a short walk from the beach. definitely a place I'd recommend.

Staying in the area recently we dined at the Miners Arms on four occasions and enjoyed it every time. Welcoming, friendly and helpful staff, good menu and excellent food beautifully cooked and presented. Highly recommended.
