The Miners was a Theakston's house serving real ale in the 1980's and has revived the tradition. The preference of the regulars is for blond session ales in the 3-4% abv range, and the pumpclips adorning the ceiling show a large variety of well chosen examples of these. There is a good crowd of locals using this pub, which is just off the main circuit and it is well supported by people who know each other. A good example of a town centre local! There are two pub football teams, a darts team and two pool teams. and the early part of the week is quiet but the back end is really busy!
