The Miners Arms in Fareham

Where’s the six star button? Absolutely amazing. We popped in for a Sunday lunch and the food (roast dinner) was generous and incredibly tasty. The people behind the bar / serving the food were super friendly and accomodating. The dining room was quiet at 12.30pm which suited our group as we wanted to chat and not deal with any noise. All-in-all just a great place. Can’t wait for another opportunity to visit!

What a gem of a pub,great beer, food, service ,excellent, The place is spotlessly clean too,this is well worth a visit,we will definitely be back.

Excellent food: had roast beef ; so tender and plentiful. Good variety of veg and very plentiful.

Visited this pub by chance as diwn in the area and meeting friends. What a great find! I had read the reviews and everything positive I read about the food was true. Lovely home cooked food, and very decent portions and prices. Can recommend the pie of the day, the steak and kidney suet puddings and the chicken tikka masala. The service was excellent too. We chose to have puds as we couldn't resist. The traditional steamed puddings were light and tasty. All in all we had a great time. 100 % recommend. Wished I lived nearer. Thank you.

Lovely meal at a lovely pub. Son just moved to village so this was our first visit, hoping for many more

Love this place, foods lovely prices good and staff great.

Huge portions! Home cooked food, good atmosphere in the pub. Helpful and cheerful staff. Great service and value for money. Would recommend and we will be returning!

Good atmosphere, friendly host. Well kept beer and a bus stop outside the door - what more could you ask for?

Amazing roast dinner …huge portions…all the veggies you could ask for plus epic cauliflower cheese definitely be returning 5 stars

Amazing food....roast dinner was to die4 Lovely little pub nestled in the country side Really nice new landlord & landlady made us feel extremely welcome.. 5 stars x

Excellent pub food at affordable prices. They don't try to do fancy food, just good pub food. Exactly what the customers want

Visited today for Sunday lunch, haven't been in for ages (I don't know why) All round excellence! Very good and reasonablely priced food, big portions and friendly and helpful service. I will be back, thanks very much, highly recommend a visit. 👍🏼

Impromptu Sunday lunch with the dog! A huge plate of roast pork, crackling, stuffing, roast potatoes & parsnip, massive yorkie pud & loads of tasty gravy. Five different vegetables, served separately. Absolutely stuffed full!!!

lovely food, cater for allergies, friendly staff

Great pub which is clearly valued by the local community. Food was excellent pub food and the portions were huge. Was busy when we went (reservation recommended). We did have to wait 40 mins for our food but had been told that would be the case so chatted in a lively atmosphere over drinks.

Always made to feel welcome good food and atmosphere

Came here for family get together. The food was not great. The liver was so over cooked it had all turned to a mush no actual pieces of liver. The steak and ale pie was good.

A proper pub, not a gastro pub, that also does really good, inexpensive food. Beers are a well kept London pride and a guest ale. Dog friendly in the bar and garden but not the carpeted lounge so specify dogs if you're booking. Very small car park with street parking nearby. We had steak and ale pie, liver and bacon, and scampi and chips. Generous portions and tasty. Various chocolate sponges and brownies, and a cheesecake were also excellent.

Generously portioned Beef Roast dinner sat in garden to side. Delicious food. Friendly staff. Reasonable prices. Parking is limited but we had walked. Highly recommend!

We have visited here several times now. We sit in the bar as we have a dog, so this area is dog friendly, we can't comment on the restaurant. The food is always hot, fresh, and plentiful. Always served with a friendly chat and news about the menu specials. The pies are great! My Dad had the steak and kidney pudding yesterday!

Friendly staff clean toilets of road parking. We had a meal which was average but the onion rings were very poor. Great menu and dessert choices

Lovely traditional Pub, great choice of food and great range of beers especially HSB and ESB on tap! Highley recommend.

First time here food excellent very large portions ..Will come back

My wife and I went to the Miner's Arms with a couple of friends for Sunday Lunch. The Roast dinners we had were delicious and the service, considering the barmaid/waitress was working on her own and it was fairly busy, was excellent. There was a nice homely atmosphere in the pub as well making us want to return again at a later date. Highly recommendable.

Lovely little pub not eaten there yet.

We are not familiar with this area, but came across this pub and stopped for lunch. The pub was warm and cosy and the menu looked good. The food was really good, with a generous selection of vegetables. I recommend the homemade pie, it was delicious.

Simple menu but varied in choices available, all food presented was cooked very well and very tasty.

Good traditional pub with great food.

Excellent roast (Me and my sister in- law had the roast chicken, brother pork). Wife had the scampi which she loved. All good size portions and nice food. Very friendly staff.

Found pub on Trip Advisor as wanted to have a decent meal before our overnight ferry crossing. The meals were delicious and prices were reasonable.

Great evening - good to see old friends. Welcomed as soon as we arrived, food was excellent as was the staff.

When foreigners complain that English food is bland, they obviously haven't tried it properly cooked as it is at the Miner's Arms. I may have had better liver and onions during my 68 years on this planet but I very much doubt it.

We ate in the bar as had a dog. Fish and chips were scrummy and dog made very welcome.

Had a lovely lunch here recently and will definitely be returning again soon😊

Lovely local pub, great pint of HSB!!

Food looks good, beer is very good. Very clean, and friendly. Will be back

Dog friendly, okay beers on tap, no premium lagers or craft ales but there is something for everyone. Great to sit outside on a hot sunny day

Went with friends for a lunchtime meal and drink. Thoroughly recommend it. Meals were very tasty, large portions and at a great price.

A nice local pub serving good beer with consistently good friendly service. Stopped in for food once and would definitely come again!

Local friendly pub serves real ale and classic pub food.well worth a visit

Friendly pub, dogs in the left hand bit 👍

Lovely atmosphere food is delicious

Lovely quaint pub that served great food! Attentive staff and a good pint on cask (HSB)! Would like to see the menu on the Facebook page (was told the site is a Fullers page so perhaps harder to update regularly). Shared whitebait for starter and had Mac & Cheese with Bacon and Bacon/Stilton burger! Will come again for more of the same good food! 👍

Lovely country pub. Very friendly staff

We made a last minute decision to go for a Sunday roast, and what a great decision it was! The pub has a proper ‘local’, comfortable feel - it is not trying to be anything that it isn’t. It’s divided into two parts - the bar, and the restaurant, and was bustling. They accommodated a family of 5 within 2 hours which is pretty amazing - being able to find somewhere on a Sunday in such a short time frame. There were a selection of roasts and all the trimmings on offer, plus the normal menu. We all opted for roast. 4 beef and one pork. We have never been given so much food - cauliflower/brocolli cheese, carrots, red cabbage, green beans, leeks as sides, with tender meat, roast potatoes, Yorkshire pud, stuffing and parsnips on the plate, and jugs of gravy. The food was nicely hot and beautifully cooked. And so much of it. We all agreed it was the best pub roast we had ever had, and although would like to keep it as a ‘hidden gem’ , this pub deserved a huge shout out.

Accommodated family of 5 within 2 hours of calling. What an amazing roast - huge and hot portions of everything. We all said it was the best roast we have had.

Amazing food & excellent service staff cant do enough for you, will be back soon

Best roast had for ages, huge portions😉

Good food and real ale. Perfect

Had lunch here yesterday. We were very welcomed. The service was great and the food was delicious, we had Steak Pie and Burger. The vegetables were crispy and not soggy!. All good experience as not been here for years but will certainly be back.

Lovely place our food was great and the lady behind the bar sorry don't know her name she lives two Doors Down was fantastic and very welcoming

The best roast I’ve had out for ages! And we eat out a lot. Five different veg, steaming hot gravy and beef so lean my knife slid through it. Wonderful service too, we felt very looked after. They even gave a doggy bag contained for my mum to take home what she couldn’t fit in! Highly recommend.

Ate Sunday lunch here today as a family of 4 adults and one baby. All the adults had roasts. Food came quickly and was piping hot. 3 of us had chicken on the bone which was delicious. Vegs came separately and there was plenty of them. Loved that the cauliflower cheese was also in a separate bowl as I hate the sauce on my plate. Sophie served us and was lovely played with grandson. The young man also serving sorry didn’t get his name was also very friendly. Would recommend the roast here and will be returning. Toilets were amazingly clean! Thanks.

GOOD LUNCH. STAFF VERY PLEASANT. THAN YOU.

Nice traditional style local pub. Good food, good beer and friendly staff.

Current landlady and staff really friendly. Traditional village pub that also does excellent food.

Quilty good wholesome food! Grateful place but book before you go not to be disappointed Thank you amd Vat registered! Just ask for your receipt first!

This is one of our favourite pubs to Visit when we are in the area. Pleased to say we had a lovely meal and amazing, amiable service. The place is absolutely spanking clean and was almost full on a Wednesday evening. Looking forward already to our next visit.

Great place for drinks and food, can only recommend.

Excellent pub, lovely bar maid and good selection of beer

Food was tasty and the kids loved the park 2 doors down! HSB was very good too.

The miners arms is a proper village pub, food is good and the beer cellar is sound. One of the few pubs still doing HSB and it is great. Long live HSB!! Friendly staff and comfortable lounge. I love this pub. Good times!

Turned up on a week night and the pub was not particularly busy, tried to order food and advised 1 hour wait, not what I'd expect when there was hardly anyone eating

Lovely village pub. Friendly staff and lovely food.

as a fly by pint (or3) twas wicked.. staff were polite even 'boyant' titter scoff

Not helpful at ALL 😐 wait for a phone call from the owner that NEVER arrived 😬!

Had a good pint there today. Very friendly staff n locals. Hope to call back

Very good beef roast. Friendly staff and good beer Beef Roast: Generous portions - too much for some. Pity small option not offered? Then there would be room for dessert.

Always nice for a guiet drink did'nt eat but it looked good

Warm welcome at the family run pub Terrific food. We just had a three course Christmas lunch. The best I’ve ever had. Ham hock and chutney starter was very tasty. The turkey roast was exceptional. Large thick slices of turkey, a slice of stuffing, bacon wrapped sausage. Massive roast potatoes, roast parsnips,all topped by a Yorkshire pudding. Caramelised carrots, Brussels sprouts, red cabbage and mashed swede. Lashings of gravy and cranberry sauce. Of course there was Christmas pudding for dessert but I had pecan pie and ice cream. Finally mince pies and coffee. This pub is a gem

Great value for money. Lovely food and great atmosphere

Lovely pub in 2 halves not far from the Portsmouth Harbour to London Waterloo railway line

The food I bought was fantastic. I had a chicken wrap. I'll definitely visit again

A village pub with a long history. Mostly adorned by locals, sits on a busy road. Fairly tight car park, and limited on-road parking. Saloon and lounge bars, but neither are large. ‘Cosy’ best describes. Food is reasonable, has an extended beer garden under a marquee since the late spring. I visit fairly regularly but largely because of good friends who live locally.

Excellent atmosphere Great staff 👍

The food was excellent. Good portions, range, price & quality. The interior of the pub is a bit dated. We sat in the garden which is next to the road but attractive. The biggest issue is parking - not a big car park.

Popped in for some lunch on Wednesday, service was fantastic and food also. Definitely will be coming again!

Nice pub with a pleasant outdoor area.

I've enjoyed all my visits here. Great bar staff last night.

Awful portion sizes, un-professional staff, over-priced, the beef was tender though, still my worst roast to date.

My family and I booked a Sunday lunch at short notice and chose to eat outside under cover with Covid in mind. I ordered a roast beef with all the trimmings. I have had a poor experience with other pubs, with roast beef, in the past and wanted to see if the Miners could change that. I am pleased to report it was excellent meal with a generous amount of mouthwatering beef. We all shared a more than adequate supply of vegetables. Food Supplied in good time.

A great little local with friendly staff and lovely home made food.

Very pleasant to be invited back

Pub lacked atmosphere, clean but tired toilet facilities and food was huge portions and congealed cheese on nachos and over cooked steak with menu lacking any inspiration.

Very nice, we had the beef and cheese panini at 14:00 and didn't have to eat for the rest of the day, the staff were very polite and friendly.

Very disappointed with my meal. Food wasn't very warm and also over priced.

Nice place, good food. Covid safe.

ordered 2 soups and potato skin starters waited almost an hour for them had to take the potato skins home as we needed to leave. the waitress was on her own as the landlady had gone out.......

Honest food, great value, good service, great beer (London Pride), clearly taking Covid guidance seriously however it wasn't overpowering. Really glad I stopped for some lunch

Nice place good food and dog friendly.

Food is a bit pricey for what you get and I've had a lot better sunday roast for less cost.

Real home cooked fresh food. Attentive staff. They take covid seriously and that's good to see. Made a nice change.

Pleased to drop in a refresh ourselves. Very clean and homely

Visited purely based on other reviews. It’s a small pub on a housing estate. The wall of the “beer garden” 🤣🤣 is the side of a Lego-house from the estate. Dogs were peeing around us off their lead as we waited almost an hour for our below average food. I can’t understand how this place had so many positive reviews...but it did seem popular with tattooed builders effing and blinding while sipping their lager-tops . Not for us. Won’t return. Plenty of other decent pubs in the area.

We really enjoyed our time here. Friendly staff and a very pleasant pub with a good outdoor eating area. There was a bit of a wait for our meal but we thoroughly enjoyed it. Very nicely cooked with good sized portions. We were blessed with enough din to make eating outside enjoyable. We'd gladly eat here again.

Really enjoyed the meal. Would definitely recommend.

Went with my twin sisters to our village pub from when we were children. First time i had been through the doors in 50 years. The first thing of note is the building hasnt changed a bit either inside or out, except now you could actually see it. All was clean and bright and fresh and not yellow and nicotine stained as it was in the past. A lovely experience and i would recommend it, but sadly the village and our house has changed so that i dont think i will return. The pub itself perfect.

Small car park alongside and on street outside and close by. Proper pub grub menu with the steak and ale pie a big winner. Gammon and Hunters chicken followed a close second. Although not at all busy (1230 Thurs), the meal took nearly an hour from ordering to completion. That said they were real tasty.

Great staff and good choice of food

My local pub. It always has been such a pleasure to spend some time here. The food is always good and the customer service is fantastic!
