The Miners Arms - Sutton in Ashfield - Notts

It was an article in the local paper that drew my attention to this newly-opened pub on Stoneyford Road.  For the past four years owners Gabriella Pearson-Day, her husband Jon Pearson and mother Maureen Day have worked at renovating and transforming this old building.  It now has the most amazing 1920's decor, painted by Gabriella.

Of course I couldn't wait to go and see it for myself, and it certainly lived up to my expectations, if not more so!  This is the comfortable snug/lounge area and I loved the decorated stairs.

However, it is the amazing Function Room that they were keen to show me, and what an achievement this is!  I just loved it, and can imagine how popular it is going to be for receptions, christening, quiz nights etc.

To my immense amusement, even the loos doors were decorated!

I was also particularly pleased to know that they serve afternoon tea, and very nice it was too! (I do like a place that has proper china cups and saucers!)  Later on, when they are more settled they plan to make stews and soups - now that really appeals to me!

I thought this was the most delightful place, and am certainly planning to return, especially as the owner was so kind and friendly, something that counts a lot with me.
