The Miners Arms in South Hams - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

No food . No customers .atmosphere dead it's a pity as this was such a vibrant pub

Been my local for many years always such a lovely friendly fun kind environment

This place was thriving, I guess another cozy pub/restaurant to add to the others that have now gone. Went for food, just a sausage roll to offer, games room now in the dining area, what a way to put people off even more. To top it off, spoke to someone called John who called himself the owner. Very rude person, no need to add more. Good bye the miners arms Such a shame, in the right hands again this place has so much potential.

Came for the advertised bbq that was supposed to start from 12, got there at 11.45 so we could get seated. Left at 1pm as we were all starving and they hadn't even started cooking! Staff didn't know when the food was going to be available and seemed clueless about this event. If it's advertised from 12, it should start at 12. Not sure what's happened to the place as the lovely conservatory has now turned into a games room. Shame, as all of this has put us off from returning here.

Great place to pop in for a cheeky pint in front of the roaring fire.

Sadly the Miner's is no longer a restaurant the dining area is now a games room with a pool table and darts. The only food is pasties and sausage rolls

Great food, drink and service and beautiful garden to relax in. Highly recommend.

Really lovely place and great park for the kids, but they no longer serve meals, which is such a shame as it has great potential

Thay have stopped food but a fantastic family and traditional country Inn. Not many like this these day enter and step back in time .

Popped in for cheesy chips and a pint after a long walk. Dog friendly in the bar area

Ordered the steak & ale pie and a Cajun chicken burger and both were fantastic. You could tell that everything had been made in-house. Partner commented that the real ale was good too - nice clean lines he reckoned. We will most certainly be back - thank you for a lovely meal. Open fire was a treat. Dogs also welcome.

Absolutely the best Sunday roast , tender beef fab veg and a Yorkshire pudding to die for. Brilliant staff ans surroundings. My smidgen of a complaint was the plate was cold otherwise 100% perfect will ve back,

Best Sunday roast in a long time! 10 of us and everyone enjoyed their meal - lovely food, friendly service. Was packed as was an unexpected hot spell - garden was full of people enjoying a lovely Sunday 😊

Only had a snack food wise but it was lovely! Gorgeous pub tucked away with stunning views from the beer garden. Lovely friendly staff including landlord, conservatory area looks lovely and looking forward to another visit soon

Visited the pub after a break of nearly 40 years. Had a factory in Plympton and used to visit here with Reps. Many improvements in the intervening period but that Sunday Lunch with friends was superb. We will be coming again

Nice views over plymouth pleasent beer garden

We visited this evening for a family meal. First time my wife and I have been and will definitely not be the last. My wife’s first glass of wine didn’t taste right, she was happy to drink it but after tasting it, I asked at the bar if they could also taste it as it wasn’t right. I think it could have been a landlord I spoke to, as well as the barman, and it was no trouble at all, they opened another bottle, only to realise the original glass wasn’t quite right, and replaced it. Very friendly, and very helpful. We ordered our food, I had the Chimi Steak and my wife had the Miners Beef Burger. Both meals were delicious, credit to the Chef. My son and his girlfriend also thoroughly enjoyed their meals too. The waitress, I think her name might be Ava, was just the best. Very friendly, helpful and professional service, an absolute credit to the Miners /arms. We travelled up from Cornwall as our son lives in Plympton, and it was well worth the journey. Thank you very much, we’ll see you again soon

Fantastic country pub serving really tasty food and a brilliant selection of drinks. We had a meal on Saturday night that was excellent, and I had The Best mushroom starter dish that I’ve ever tasted 👍🏻. The staff were brilliant and welcoming and made us feel at home, thanks for that 👍🏻 Was very quiet on Monday evening but we really enjoyed our visit, great drinks, great background music and great chat with the bar staff, made our night perfect! if we ever come back to the area we will definitely call back, 10/10.

Fantastic food. Just had a beef roast and it was one of the best I have had with extra gravy and cauliflower cheese on the side. Great quiet garden. Great park area for children.

Went for a Sunday lunch with my wife the food was great and tasted really nice. The pub itself is a small charming village pub.

Good carvery, some had the beef which I'm told was the best they've had. I ordered Pork, which was Lamb when they brought it out but Lamb wasn't even on the menu so not sure how they managed that

The main restaurant with open views was very nice if a bit warm and bright with the sun on it. Staff were very attentive and friendly and they would get 5 stars. However, this was our visit to this pub based on recommendations and previous reviews billing it as a Gastro pub. That it is not. The menu was basic pub fare ie burger, fish & chips, scampi, pizza, curry , pasta ect and not the same as other menus posted previously. Food we had was ok but probably overpriced for what it was . Two of us had scampi but only around 6 pieces in a basket with some fries and small portion of peas. Not good value at £14.50. Burgers were £15.50. Also for desert two small balls of poor quality ice cream for £4 i thought was also . Overall i think quality and quantity needs to be increased to entice us to return.

Beautifully done out, great space to sit outside with kids or in the pub, or in the restaurant or on the veranda area! Staff were so lovely and really attentive. Lunch menu was great we all had lovely meals and we will definitely go back!! Thank you!!

Im amazed the place is still going. We arrived and asked if they serve food, we were told yes, we went to order drink and paid for them, a few moments later a woman came out to say they wouldn’t be serving food. A pub in the middle of nowhere needs a reputation to succeed, look at a the reviews and avoid like we will now.

Lovely Sunday roast 😋 great service, beautiful garden and children's play area 😊

1st ever visit,... Absolutely loved it!! Will definitely be going back there.😍

Pretty good. Wouldn't call it fine dining anymore though

The food really was appalling. Cold, no sauce with the garlic prawn dish, expensive for what it was. They brought the starter at the same time as the main. Then we were asked to leave the restaurant because it was closing. Wouldn't return and as someone previously said, this place needs new owners, or at least a new chef.

Came to the miners Arms because I was looking for a nice family friendly pub and yes I achieved it, the staff where extremely welcoming and nice to talk too. The pub has a lovely little park / play area with slides, swings and some kind of obstacle / balance corse. The food as all very n

First time at this pub on a Saturday lunchtime. Really lovely garden and atmosphere. Lots of parking. Everyone enjoyed their food. The service from the 2 young girls was friendly and efficient. We would definitely come back here again. 1 star off for first impressions from the not so friendly young chap behind the bar.

Very nice. Great food, lovely play area to keep the little ones occupied. Highly recommend a visit

Whoever owns this clearly can’t be bothered? I remember coming here many years ago under the old management and we kept coming back because it was the perfect place to dine with kids. The kids play area is run down, dingy high chairs that have just been left to rot in the corner; the benches need replacing. The food is so average in comparison to the prices they charge, you would get more for your money in Macdonalds. Embarrassing quality. Staff are inexpearienced ‘kids’ that appear far too aloof and not bothered. Whoever owns this, sort this establishment out. You are happy to charge high prices however put no investment into the play area or training of the staff and chefs. Confusing place.

Only stopped off for a pint after visiting dartmoor zoo. Lovely outside beer garden, they were too busy to serve anymore food but it did look amazing and tasty.

The Miners Arms has got to be one of our worst experiences of hospitality in south Devon in the South Hams that has got to offer. From start to finish, Poor food presentation and the lack of imagination and the staff preoccupied, and the lack of communication and experience . I don't take lightly writing negative comments but to rely on young people that are not trained in hospitality professionally is a terrible reflection on the business, I might also add that we witnessed on leaving from the rear of beer garden and couldn't help witness that the kitchen / preparation areas was in a state untidiness and didn't looked very hygiene safe.

Always love this pub greatvto sit out with a cold one whilst the kids wear themselves out Great pub great location didn't eat this time but have eaten hear before and was always good judging g by the meals being served outside in the play area all looked and smelt fantastic punters see.ed v happy

Gorgeous setting and fabulous food

Could be brilliant, but never enough staff

Booking for 8 good friends, I looked for a nice venue, which it is, offering a square table so we could all sit around and chat easily. I was assured on booking this was fine & even double checked earlier in the day that all was ok & square table still available. No - we were given a long table! There was no excuse as the restaurant was empty all evening. Half the main meals were unavailable & no ice cream! 3 meals were cold & had to be replaced. All meals were tasty & well presented, but the waiting for 3 replacement meals just added to the frustration. We felt sorry for the waitress who was very patient & apologetic. No sign of any management to speak to us to ease the situation. Will not return.

My food was terrible. Tagliatelle with beetroot and goats cheese. Sounds a nice choice but the pasta had no sauce on it but the sauce arrived in a side pot instead. Just as well I tasted it before i poured it on the pasta as it tasted off and fishy. The goats cheese also came in a side pot for some reason, so I had to put it in myself. The small portion of ‘fresh’ pasta looked grey and was served on a long plate rather than a bowl, all for about the sum of £15. Hats off to a pub who can serve up a simple pasta dish so badly. As the pub did not have a chef for some considerable time and now they are serving this quality of food, I suggest they start looking for a chef again or go back to just drinks. Book a meal somewhere else.

Very friendly pub out the way hidden gem big park in the garden authetic look in side food cooked fresh and very generous portions clean pints of lager can't fault the place

Friendly staff, beautiful place with great outdoor seating also. Lots of entertainment for young children. Meals promptly taken, delivered hot and delicious, great portion sizes too. Prices in line with what you expect to pay. Tea and coffee in the sunshine after meal. Could improve a little on non alcoholic drinks but found something for everyone. Perfect afternoon and would so recommend.

All the veg on the roast was stone cold, the burger bun was solid & be prepared for a shock if you order the carbonara, no mention on the menu of the pink pasta. My son refused to eat it. Vile !

Best pizza I've ever had, and all reasonably priced.

I have been drinking at The Miners Arms on and off for many years. Recently I have not enjoyed visiting due to seeing this place not being run as well as it has been in the past. The owners either do not care or really...

Very nice and very good place 😊

Great pub, outdoor space must be so good during the summer. Fireplace inside for the winter :)

Very nice food, could do with an extra vegetarian option possibly but apart from that I couldn't find fault.

Lovely setting, excellent food..a long, long wait but we were a very large party.

Staff lovely and attentive, setting great ideal for larger groups. Menu a little limited but food good

We booked a table to visit The Miner's Arms as we wanted to have a meal at a gastro-pub. It took us just ten minutes to get here from Marsh Mills, and on arriving at the village we were delighted with the sweet little cottages...

Very friendly service. Food took a while to come out but was hot and portion sizes were good. Our waitress offered to bring out our children's meals quicker i think she may have heard them saying they are hungry, it was a nice touch. Overall a great meal out.

A nice restuarant, but to protect staff and other patrons you may be asked to leave if you have had a chest infection (not Covid). To avoid cancellation of your family get together ask for a medical questionaire prior to booking. A very memorable short...

Lovely village pub with beautiful views over Plympton and beyond serving delicious Sunday roast Served speedy with happy smiley faces . The majority of our group had roast beef with plenty of fresh vegetables and huge Yorkshire puddings highly recommended a visit

Great looking pub. Restaurant is good size shame the food isn't the same. Don't go if your hungry or skint. Friendly staff plenty of parking.

Had a really great lunch here yesterday. Food was amazing and the service was brilliant.

Lovely pub and setting. Great friendly staff with a swift service. The Sunday lunch itself was delicious and had generous portions. We have had their chicken burgers and beef burgers before and they're lovely- I'm also a bit of a burger snob! My husband has...

16 of us out for a family meal and drinks, great food and service with everything spot on, looks like it’s back on par here!

Had the best meal we’ve had for ages. Beef stroganoff for my husband and aubergine roulade for me. Such a nice change for the veggie option NOT to be mushroom risotto or something with goats cheese. This was absolutely delicious and we really felt the chef cared about how his food tasted and not just the presentation. Desserts also couldn’t be faulted. Waitresses friendly and efficient. Would go back there definitely.

Visited twice over the Christmas and new year period. They have a new menu and in the view of both groups was that everything was above average for pub restaurant food. I had excellent fish and chips which is a marker for quality in pub...

Can't speak more highly. Terrific food. Reasonable price and great service. We'll be back

We were a party of 7 and visited the evening before new years eve. The staff gave us a warm welcome when we arrived and gave us a choice of where to sit either in the restaurant or in the snug. We chose the restaurant...

Enjoy every minute of it great atmosphere friendly staff

It’s great to see this pub open again and better than ever. The staff are very welcoming, beer always fresh and the food is outstanding. Very cosy pub with great atmosphere and a lovely garden. Well done the minors team!

Slipping in quality, care and general ambience sadly... Hopefully next time it's back to it's high standards

We had a lovely sitting area to our selves and outstanding food cooked to perfection for each course and beautiful presented, so massive complements to the Chef. The person waiting at our table was so attentive to everything we needed and we couldn't have asked...

Booked a table for 6.30. We were the only diners In restaurant. People were in bar. Extremely cold we were freezing. Disappointed in the menu choice although food was lovely. No hot puddings. I had to order a cup of tea because I was so...

you feel good in this pub. Traditional, authentic. The food tastes really good. The staff is very kind. Just Perfect. A French family.

The Miners has always enjoyed a good reputation for quality food and service. The recent years have seen many problems visited upon restaurants and pubs The Miners, a lovely C17 village pub/resto is now open again and rebuilding its previously extensive menu. Our meal for...

We read the reviews of The Miners Arms restaurant, not good, but decided to give it the benefit of the doubt. We used to visit regularly, way before Covid Lockdown, when it was under the previous management and this was our first visit in,literally, years....

Pre booked a table of 7 for 6pm on 19th August. Arrived 5.45 for the Grandchildren to play in the play area before the meal. In the play area was a Rottweiler not on a lead! Grandchildren aged 2 1/2 and 6 years. Not safe!!...

Not a pleasent place - made a complaint to staff which was responded to with rudness and a general horrid atmosphere young waitress have alot to learn about hospitality industry and with poor managment this place is not somwhere that we would visit again -...

We had a family meal 5 adults and one child. The food was delicious and all the staff were so friendly and professional. We can’t wait to return

Have visited here many times prior to covid for food and drink. Sadly just had my last visit. Charging £8.20 for two small cokes (out of a 2 ltr bottle) and two bags of crisps is a joke and when challenged got the the reply...

I came to the miners arms for a quick pit stop with my 2 year old son, Thomas. I got served by a lovely waitress with beautiful manners and quick, smiley service. food came out delicious and just how I asked!! will be there again...

WHAT A JOKE! Horrendous customer service! Firstly, we waited an hour for chips & they came out COLD. When mentioned to the waitress she picked a handful of chips up with her hand (VILE) & she made us feel like it was an inconvenience to...

Everything on line said this place was open for business. All signage outside displaying opening times imply this place is open for business. It isn't, don't go out of your way like we did. Phone first, I think they just open and close when they...

Went to the Miners Arms for lunch after being recommended, but unfortunately we were very disappointed. The food was more expensive than expected for a country pub, so we expected it to be exceptional - not the case! Service was slow, even though there were...

Me and my partner went for a late valentines. We arrived at 10 to 7 and were the first ones there. Both ordered the 10oz rump steak. Arrived within 15minutes Wow! Massive beautiful piece of steak (we didn't get given a steak knife but didnt...

One to avoid! Without doubt one of the worst roast dinners I have ever eaten I had the Sunday Roast 'Topside of Beef' which was £15. The beef was tough, I struggled to cut it and it took a lot of chewing. The four small...

Fantastic roast- I’m Gluten Free and the chef couldn’t have been more accommodating. I had a full roast with all the trimmings was not only delicious food but a fantastic option for other GF food too. Definitely will be back!

Have eaten here during the week, lunch and evening, and for Sunday lunch, and each time, the food has been faultless. Cooked to order, so always fresh, and sooo tasty. Not cheap, but worth every penny. Waiting staff are friendly and attentive without being invasive,...

We went to the Miners Arms for a birthday lunch. The restaurant was very cold and after only a few minutes we got up to sit in the public bar to get to a warmer spot to eat. We sat close to a wood fire...

We visited this great authentic little pub for a family lunch and very much enjoyed our visit. The staff were cheerful, friendly and attentive and the food was delicious! The only reason it didn't get full marks from me was that it was a bit...

Quick visit to the country. Super old pub just outside of Plymouth. Great outside area for kids and oldies alike. Good food and four real ale always on tap. Look out for the old well in the middle of the pub. Large new restaurant and patio plus an extra outside bar for the summer. Well worth a visit.

Following a walk with the dog, we had a roast dinner in the old bar. Although it was tasty, not enough meat (2 slices of beef) and the roast potatoes were not very good. For fifteen pounds a dinner it could have been better. Also service is quite slow in ordering food or drinks.

Well how sad, beautiful pub, food ok but staff appalling! Can’t be bothered. Wouldn’t think they were working as too busy on their phones gossiping with each other. Swearing lazy kids working there

Used to eat here a lot however on the last couple of visits the service hasn’t been great. The food has been incredibly slow and staff haven’t been overly friendly.

Phoned the miners arms at 1pm asking if they are serving Sunday roast and are they also doing the normal menu (looking for table at 6pm which I informed the person on the phone) the reply was YES. We arrived at 5:45 paid for drinks at the bar and so the kids could play in the kids play area. Only to be told they had stopped serving food when we went to order, fair enough the kitchen agreed to serve us. However the menu was very restricted with no roast dinners available. Not happy at all. And not even an apology! Won’t be returning.

First time visit for lunch and a beer. Great selection of good food available with very pleasant and attentive staff. Good sized pub off the beaten track with good parking and fantastic views from large seated garden area. Good selection of Real ales on tap recommend the Local Dartmoor Brewery Jail Ale for those who aren't driving. Will go back again for a evening meal popular with families

Nos quedamos en Plymouth y nos llevaron a Miners Arms para un almuerzo tardío. No dejó de llover todo el día, así que desafortunadamente tuvimos que sentarnos en el interior. Aparentemente, sentarse afuera tiene unas vistas increíbles. Nos llevaron a nuestro asiento un caballero extremadamente amable que luego nos sirvió durante el tiempo que estuvimos allí. No podría haber sido más servicial y amable, ¡incluso cuando tuvo que disculparse por no tener ningún arquero! ! La comida era excelente, con mucha cantidad. No había lugar para el pudín, pero logramos tomar cafés, dos de los cuales eran licor (con la crema doble adecuada). ¡No era barato, pero ciertamente obtienes lo que pagas! Gracias.

Visited with friends on a quiet Saturday lunchtime - wasn’t as busy as it has been -

Éramos 10, 6 adultos y 4 niños. Todos disfrutaron de su comida y los platos fueron vaciados, ¡lo cual es bastante espectacular! Sabroso y recién preparado.

We called in for lunch on a rainy Saturday & ate in the bar. Good food, good service, friendly staff, nice pub atmosphere, reasonable prices, carpark.

nice atmosphere eaten there before but not reviewed .good wait staff . quite a nice menu caters for everyone .good selection for a pub restaurant .

I haven't been to the Miners Arms for years but select it for a business lunch nearby my guest's offices, and what a lovely surprise it was. The staff were very cheerful, happy and welcoming, the restaurant is very clean and in a lovely setting and the food was absolutely delicious. It was a hot day so we both had the house salad. I had bacon and chicken with mine and my guest had hake, all freshly made and well presented. I'll be back sooner rather than later !

We visited as a family group of four, 3 of us ordered the belly pork, the 4th a vegan curry.

We visited The Miners for a family celebration and were not disappointed, good service, excellent food and fantastic views, we will definitely be returning!

I have been here a while ago and now new owners. Went with friends for Sunday lunch. ON arrival it was quiet, but it was heaving with people when we left. Staffing was adequate when we arrived and had very good food, l had the duck which was really good, we all enjoyed our lunch, but when it when it came to pay at the till, it was really busy with people queuing to order food for outside, more staff were definitely needed.(Inside only waiting staff). Perhaps they outside customers could order at the bar. Plenty of seating and two different gardens and a very large car park. Views excellent too. Service was good till it got really busy. Would return.
