Good place for a drop off on the way to South West Cumbria. It's much bigger inside than it looks and it's nicely kept. Decent choice of beer, staff were super polite. Enjoyed it.

We visited The Miners Arm for Sunday lunch. The service was fantastic from start to finish, plenty of friendly staff serving. The food was home cooked and generously portioned. We managed to squeeze in dessert and thoroughly enjoyed. The bill came to £37 for 2 carveries, 2 desserts and 3 drinks.

We visited The Miners for a drink and a bite to eat. The food far exceeded all expectations with more than generous portions and excellent quality. The cost was very fair. The service was good and there is a good atmosphere here with a couple of screens showing sports. I would definitely recommend coming here if you’re in the local area.

Oh dear, I found this place on 17th April and was impressed I wrote a glowing review of their great roast dinner. I also came back several times over the past few months. But today’s lunch was such a disappointment. It was a completely new chef and a very different experience. The Yorkshires were doughy and when one of us asked for a change was told ‘they’re always like that’! No they’re not. The roast potatoes were not crispy. The grave was not as tasty. It was still a passable roast dinner but it wasn’t a great roast dinner. I took a small plate and I asked for more meat than the one small slice I was given, the chef was rude, saying ‘you should get a bigger plate then’ I was only getting it £2 cheaper, and it was definitely such a tiny piece. I won’t be returning until I hear there’s been a change for the better!

Had a meal here Saturday night with partner and grandson. My partner had the rogan josh off the specials board and I had the sirloin steak off the main menu with a peppercorn sauce. Never disappointed with any meal from this lovely place. Steak always cooked as asked for perfectly and curry tasty and perfectly spiced. Michelle was a perfect waitress-barmaid with my grandson and looked fatter him so well. A friendly, local with lovely staff and owners.

We went there as a group of 4 visiting the area for work. The food here is fantastic we had a burger from the specials board, 2 steaks and a steak pie. The portions are huge so go hungry but everything is home cooked and tastes amazing there wasn’t one thing we didn’t like and with one steak rare and the over well done they came at the same time perfectly cooked. We managed to fit in deserts and these too were beautiful. The staff (owner and waitress) were warm, friendly and couldn’t be more helpful. Would recommend to anyone and will definitely be returning.

We live local but this was our first time here, it was a pleasant surprise. It was very clean & with what looks like a new annex added to the traditional pub. The pub is decorated with racing memorabilia and the annex has a history of mining, but from Barnsley (where I was told the owner is from). There is also a beer garden and a kids play area out the back. There is no car park, so you have to park on the street.

They’re usually given cheap frozen rubbish but Lynnes kids food is just as delicious and homemade as any other meal on the menu. Staff are fantastic and Michelle is especially good with the kids. Never disappointed in this place. Keep up the good work guys.

We've been meaning to pop into here since it was taken over but never got round to it. We recently moved to Swarthmoor and it's our new local. We went for the Sunday carvery and booked in no problem. Turned up was a little room through the bar full of people and we were last to get our food but there was still loads left! Every single person got huge portions on their plate and ate the lot. We had ham and beef and a mountain of everything else and I was struggling to finish it but wasn't letting it beat me! Was great value too. We had a few beers and a cake in the garden while our 2 year old played with every single toy in the garden and she was gutted when we had to go. We'll be back for sure!

Parking in the street outside is a little restricted and on a Sunday lunchtime it gets very busy. Generous portions and very good value for money which means queuing and they have only one lady serving .

The Miners Arms is lovely friendly family run pub with traditional values. Stu & Lynne are wonderful hosts and Swarthmoor are lucky to have them as their Sunday cavery's in the Big Kings in Ulverston were the best in town before they took on their own freehouse at at The Miners. No wonder the regulars loyalty followed them to the Miners. Lynne prepares delicious homemade meals which a very hearty and if you can manage three courses you won't need to eat for a week! An extensive menu & there is something for everyone from homemade pies to daily roast or a lamb shank or a tower burger or fish & chips to name but a few. I took a friend of mine there today, one stop on the bus or a 15 minute brisk walk from Ulverston & we enjoyed a wonderful afternoon & will be returning very soon. Stu was in high spirits even though as a lifelong Barnsley fan & travelled to Loftus Road to see them get beat last night against my team QPR, the gent even got me a beer. I enjoyed a huge tender lamb shank with fresh vegetables & chips (my friend had same with mash) not forgetting the homemade gravy served in a proper gravy boat. All delicious. There is a good selection of real ales & quality largers. I sampled the excellent Wolf Rock which I can highly recommend & my friend was delighted to find Staropramen on tap. The Miners offers excellent value lunches (2 for £12 from the extensive special board) or has main menu and also serves evening meals. The Miners is known for its sports & live music, although this doesn't interfere with dining as you can choose to eat in the conservatory or rear bar. They encourage families & children. There is a lovely garden and play area outside which is a great addition especially in the summer months. What can more can I say. Pop along & you won't be disappointed. Like me I'm sure you will return.

I visited this pub at the weekend with my family. Once a year we go to the South Lakes Safari Park and stop here for dinner before driving back home to Manchester. We visited here last year which we all really enjoyed and decided to visit again last weekend. The staff are extremely friendly and welcoming. The place has a nice warm atmosphere and caters for families along with couples and friends. There were 3 adults and 2 children and we telephoned in advance and booked a table. There was a specials board which said 2 meals for £12, however the waiter confirmed that we could have single meals off the specials board for £6. Our party ordered chicken and mushroom curry, which I personally had and this was amazing, I had this with half rice and half chips. Other people in my party ordered the lamb shank and the fish and chips, again both said it was fantastic. We literally were stuffed afterwards and had no room for dessert, although I would have loved to sample one. The kids ordered pizza and sausage and mash. The kids meals came with free ice cream, which they were delighted about. The food is outstanding and matches the hospitality. Well done guys, you should be very proud of your service and establishment. See you next year!

Just enjoyed a superb lunch time meal at this warm and welcoming pub.. The menu caters for all tastes and there are offers for pensioners and two meals for £12.The food has to be the best value in the area with mega portions and we are talking REAL food with real vegs.here, not fancy little bitty things delicately arranged on a plate.We both opted for the braised steak, cooked in a local beer. This was served with huge, chunky chips and a seperate dish each of fresh broccoli, cauliflower, carrots and cabbage. The large portion of meat was tasty and tender and the gravy was delicious. I can eat vast amounts of food but after managing to finish this, I felt very full! Great service added to our experience . We will be back......

Well where can I start, we had never been in The Miners before and have driven or walked past loads of times, so we decided to give it a go and pop in for tea.Very friendly staff who make you feel really welcome, they have a choice of different menu's ranging from two £12 which sounds good value and given the quality of the meal and the amount on your plate it really is, in fact it'd be a crime to always choose from this menu as the food from the "normal" menu is lovely and very reasonably price so much so that we ended up eating here 3 times in 10 days.I'm thinking of chucking my cooker out!. I mean, why cook for yourself and have dishes to clean when you can visit The Miners eat great well priced food and have a pint as well!If your a visitor to Ulverston and your feeling peckish, venture just a little further out and eat here, you won't be disappointed.

My wife and I booked in advance for the Sunday Carvery, and arrived at 1.15pm for the second sitting. This pub is very popular, and after experiencing their Sunday roast we can understand why. The food was first class, only spoiled as far as I was concerned by the al dente sliced carrot, but that is a purely personal view and my wife thoroughly enjoyed them. Being a typical carvery, you can help yourself to all but the choice of three meats, which proved to be expertly and generously sliced. Each accompaniment was perfectly cooked according to normal standards, with special praise reserved for the roast potatoes, and the whole meal was very reasonably priced. Who could ask for more? Well you could actually, by helping yourself to accompaniment seconds if you felt you hadn't had enough! Highly recommended.

Very smart appearance and a great welcome. We just wanted a drink and a lunchtime snack and, from the very comprehensive menu - in a leather folder - we chose two prawn cocktails to accompany our excellent pint of Wainwrights and a fresh orange. We were warned that our choice would be a meal in itself and so it was - much prawns, a great amount of salad, coleslaw and so on and 4 half slices of delicate brown buttered bread completely filling a large dinner plate. We'll be going again soon to sample the steak and trimmings which at £13.50 is claimed to be the most expensive item they offer.

I visited with friends for a meal, the restaurant seating area is has a nice ambience and feels relatively private as there is ample space to move between the dining tables. There is a good choice of local real ales. I chose scampi and chips which was what I would describe as typical of pub grub; average. I didn't like the tartare sauce which looked homemade and was very vinegary. I would eat here again.

Had a couple of meals here while we was visiting family. Food and staff were amazing . Nice and welcoming. The food portions were massive. Brilliant value for money. They couldn't do enough for us. Landlord and landlady were really nice. Give this place a try if in the area. 10/10

We called in as passing trade for a drink in the afternoon. The menu and the live entertainment looked good so we returned for our evening meal but were not able to stay for the music. This was our first visit since the change of management approximately two years ago. The venue now seems to tick many boxes: – reasonably priced menu with good choice, friendly staff and management, warm plates to ensure meals are not cold before you get half way through them, range of entertainment, selection of local real ales and suitable for the whole family.

Had the pie but it had too much salt, generous portions though. Service not great if you are a stranger, could be much better.

This is a cosy, unspoilt, traditional pub with something for everyone. It is clearly popular with the locals, as the darts and pool trophies testify, but the local people we encountered there were very friendly and welcoming, as were the staff. There was a good selection of hot food, reasonably priced and well cooked and presented. Portions are very generous. Meals can be eaten in the bar itself or in an adjoining conservatory. There is a pleasant beer garden with flowers and a play area for children. Well worth a visit if you are in the area.

Cannot speak highly enough of this lovely, friendly little pub. Lovely atmosphere, FANTASTIC food, wonderful staff who were very welcoming. Just one thing...Don't have a starter if you want a sweet, the portions are huge! :-)

Called in the Miners and had homemade soup (broccoli, cauliflower and stilton and pea and ham), it was lovely. The staff are very friendly and dogs are allowed in the bar area.

I can honestly say I have never had a better Sunday Roast . Went with my Daughter for her Birthday, it was her recommendation. The chef cut generous portions of meat, Beef Chicken or Ham, I tried all three..not cut wafer thin like some places I have been toProper roasties crunchy Yorkshire plenty of veg with lashings of a delicious gravy reminded me of the Sunday lunch my old Mum used to make...' God rest her soul'.Really enjoyed it, welll worth the money with very friendly staff and pleasant surroundings I will be making this outing again without a doubt.

We have been here a number of times as we live close by and we have never once had a bad meal. The Carvery is excellent, I had beef and ham which was cooked to perfection, I also decided to have a sweet which was homemade raspberry and mango mousse with shortbread which was gorgeous. The staff are fantastic and very friendly and I also had the added bonus of meeting 'bruiser' the pub dog outside and had a little cuddle

Lovely atmosphere very welcoming. Food is excellent, well cooked and nice prices. Been back a few times now and never disappointed. Well worth a visit.

Great bar staff and excellent meal. If on the menu, try the braising steak with mash and vegetables. You will not be disapointed

We visited the Miners on Saturday for lunch. Mt auntie is very fussy and we spoke to Lewis, the barman, he was very accomodating and we were able to order 2 meals that were not on the menu. My Mum and Anutie both had bacon, sausage and fried egg - which they said was great.My boyfriend had a huge plate of pie, mash, peas and gravy which he said was wonderful. I ordered a cheese sandwich which came with a lovely portion of salad and portion of coleslaw. We had a huge basket of chips with it. One portion was enough for all of us. We all thought the food was excellent. The atomsphere in the pub is very relaxed - no loud music blaring, the football was being shown. The outside area looks very child friendly and will be great in the summer.I have driven past this pub many hundreds of times and am so glad that we decided to pop in - its definatley going to be one of our regular lunchtime stops from now on.A special mention to Lewis for being great.

By far the best roast in Ulverston. Meats are always beautiful, service is fantastic, self serve is brilliant and of a high quality. Would recommend to anyone.

As soon as we walked through the door the staff were welcoming and very attentive. The food was lovely and good value for money. We sat outside which is a great little sun trap for those rare sunny days in the Lake District. We would high recommend and we will definitely be back .

An impromptu choice to visit Plato's today and what a brilliant decision and choice. We had a really superb meal and were made to feel very welcome by Ronnie, who looked after us! We had the fish finger sourdough sandwich and the chicken and paprika mayo sandwich...accompanied by parmesan and truffle chips 🍟 😋 absolutely delicious. All washed down with a delightful glass of rose wine. We will definitely be returning. It was such a great culinary treat.

Cold and smelled of dogs on arrival. Waited ages to be served and the waitress was more interested on who was at the bar rather than taking our table order for 10 people. Food was very salty and the steak pie in particular was terrible. Every meal as standard/basic or frozen style food. The whole place is run down and miserable. We went off trip advisor reviews as well on a visit to the area and wished we hadn’t. Go to The Pheasant Inn down the road at Allithwaite instead that was lovely food and fab service.
