点评:Like many old pit villages all over the country they all had a local or three to frequent. Pit days are long gone but there are some great local pubs left with character in abundance. Over the summer we’d visited traditional pubs in our area and been impressed with nearly all of them.
We’d been to the Colliery Tavern once before at Christmas with friends and were made to feel at home then. This time we visited on a cold October night at 6pm. The pub was lit up and decorated in and out with Halloween decorations. Whilst there the clientele were of all ages (dogs welcome too). The range of beers and ciders were massive as the excellent barmaid showed us. Music is advertised, darts, cards and dominoes, large tv and a bar and back room. During summer there’s outdoor seating. The whole bar was just relaxing, welcome to strangers and regulars alike. On our quest for bargain prices this has taken the lead at under £6 (chain bar prices excluded). We wish we lived a bit nearer to make this a local it was that good.

我们以前圣诞节和朋友一起去过一次煤矿酒馆 (Colliery Tavern),当时感觉就像在家一样。这次我们在一个寒冷的十月晚上6点去的。酒吧里灯火通明,内外都装饰着万圣节装饰品。顾客年龄各异(也欢迎宠物狗)。优秀的酒吧女招待向我们展示了种类繁多的啤酒和苹果酒。广告中播放着音乐,还有飞镖、纸牌和多米诺骨牌,还有大电视、酒吧和后屋。夏季,酒吧设有户外座位。整个酒吧氛围轻松,欢迎陌生人和常客。在我们追求便宜价格的过程中,这家酒吧的价格低于6英镑(不包括连锁酒吧的价格),占据了领先地位。我们希望住得近一点,这样就可以成为当地人了,因为这里真的很好。
