Most Disliked
While The Miners Arms has a lot going for it, some patrons cite peak times as a trouble spot. Saturday nights often see full capacity, which may lead to limited seating and smaller dining experiences for groups seeking a quieter meal.
Occasionally, the popularity of certain menu items means they run out during busy hours, frustrating those hoping to experience highly recommended dishes. Others mention the limited dessert options be an area for improvement, wishing for more sweet endings to complement the hearty meal experience.
Additionally, noise levels during live events can be significant, which might deter those looking for a more subdued dining experience. But for many, the lively atmosphere is what they love most!

Had a really nice family meal for 4 here. Had the Blue Cheese Burger which was absolutely gorgeous. Other family members had the Fish & Chips which they reliably informed me was delicious. Great service and a pleasure to support a local pub.

This was the only pub on a Sunday afternoon which didn't turn us away. They gave us a table, served a great selection of draught beers/ciders. Menu was varied. We ordered Sunday roast and it was served within 15 mins. The waitresses were awesome. Great service, polite and professional. Highly recommended.

My mother who lives in Dronfield suggested we try the Miners Arms as it has recently reopened after a refurbishment. The decor is gorgeous and the seating comfortable and inviting. Emma was our server. She was FANTASTIC! She greeted us immediately, took our drink order and provided us with menus. She was knowledgeable about the menu and was able to make suggestions which was very helpful for my mother. She also asked the chef for a side order of the vegetables that went with another dish and that was very much appreciated. The food came quickly. It was piping hot and delicious. I would highly recommend this establishment and Emma is an asset to it and to the hospitality industry in which she has chosen to work!
