Dear friends,
It is with deep sadness that we announce the closure of The Miners Arms. Over the past few months, we have faced numerous challenges in our efforts to create the pub we envisioned. From the very beginning, we encountered setbacks with an inadequate kitchen and faulty equipment, which hindered our ability to hit the ground running.
Despite our best efforts and unwavering dedication, we found ourselves faced with false promises from the brewery and a faulty cellar, making it an uphill battle every step of the way. It seemed as though everything that could go wrong did. Nevertheless, we poured our hearts and souls into keeping the pub open for our beloved locals and friends.
After much deliberation, we have come to the difficult realization that in today's climate, it takes an established pub with a strong client base built over years to survive. The rising costs and the challenges of sustaining a pub in todays climate have led us to this decision. Unfortunately, we fear that many more pubs will face closure this winter, and once they're gone, they may never return. Let’s hope they don’t turn into more Tescos local.
It is important to recognize that our time at Miners has not been in vain. We are proud to say that we have left the place in a better condition than when we found it. We have dedicated ourselves to improving the pub and have poured our energy into creating a welcoming and enjoyable atmosphere for all who visited.
To our incredible team of staff, who have become like a little family, we extend our deepest gratitude. Your hard work, resilience, and unwavering support have been nothing short of remarkable. It is a bittersweet end for us all, but we carry with us the cherished memories and the bond we have formed.
As we bid farewell to Miners, we want to express our heartfelt appreciation to each and every one of you. Your loyalty, patronage, and friendship have meant the world to us. We hope that the spirit of The Miners will live on in your hearts, and that you will continue to support local establishments in our community.
Thank you for being a part of our journey.
All Christmas booking deposits will be refunded.
With sincere gratitude,
The Miners Arms
