Service good but only one other family in so it should have been. The food we ordered, all different was nice/warm & hearty. This included steak & mushroom pie, cornerstone burger which was massive & a Mexican dish, child had hot dog & chips. Overall we enjoyed it & reasonable price. No Alcohol as we drove. I would certainly return & recommend. A little like the Copper Mine on the other side of Crook.

Having never been to this pub either as Colliery Inn or Coppermine, I had heard some good reports…read moreof its reputation. My daughter took me out with her in-laws & family for a birthday meal. Total of 7. On arrival there seemed to be plenty of staff, adults not kids to serve food, some music was playing somewhere in the background. Plenty of room between tables and plenty of tables to seating areas. Table booked for 12.30 & the place was steadily filling up around us. We where presented with the Sunday lunch menus, which were clean & easy to read. A drinks order was taken, which included tea/Coffee/Soft drinks & alcohol, this arrived pretty quickly. Next the food order of mainly Beef was ordered but 1 had lamb & 1 pork. This again arrived on large oval plates with a Yorkshire pudding, mash, roast spuds & gravy already on. 2 large platters of Vegetables, extra gravy boat, large mushy peas bowl. This was followed by a few deserts for some of Banoffe cheese cake, apple/Rhubarb Crumble. Looked home made. Table cleared quickly on completion of each course. I must say the reputation it has gained for food quality, staff service & overall ambiance is thoroughly deserved. Well deserved 5 stars for this establishment in my opinion

The food was out of this world, my husband had scampi and I had lasagne, both were off the 2 for £10 menu and the portions were huge. Real chips too :) A major point for us is a good landlord, and the landlord and landlady here are superb, extremely friendly and really bent over backwards to make sure that we had a good experience, especially when we mentioned it was our wedding anniversary. We will be back regularly now and can't recommend highly enough. Just hope the bad reviews caused by the previous owners don't put people off.
