We came for a drink on a quiet Wednesday night, chatted to the people at the bar who included the owners all were very friendly. We had intended to eat in our campervan but the food looked great so we had a lovely meal. The curry was tasty but far too much for my wife, I had the cod loin with a lovely tangy sauce, a lovely meal and great company.

Reviewed By DavidS22-1962
Having booked a holiday cottage in Frosterley I was keen to know what was available where we could eat and drink. I emailed the pub and got an instant reply from Tracy who very kindly sent a menu and a list of events that were on for that particular week.When we arrived we introduced ourselves and were made so very welcome by everyone and particular attention was given to our Labradoodle by way of water and treats.I had to attend a funeral on the Wednesday and although on this particular occasion food wasn't available Tracy offered to cook us a meal as she was working that night which saved us having to travel after having a long day. We were very grateful for this gesture. The food was really nice and four clean plates speaks for itself.!!The locals in the pub were also incredibly friendly and it was nice to see such a community spirit especially on the bingo night where I also had the bonus of winning £20.Nothing was too much for Tracy and Lisa all I can say if you are ever near Frosterley give this pub a go as you will certainly not be disappointed.Thank you for taking the time to post your review David, it was a pleasure to welcome you and your family (including your pooch) to the Frosterley Inn and we look forward to seeing you again the future.RegardsTracy & Lisa

The Copper Mine is a pub which has a quirky interior and aims to offer food from simple dishes to dishes which any restaurant would be proud to offer!

We have eaten here many times and enjoyed the food. However, today we called in for a drink on our way home at lunchtime. I took a seat at the bar whilst my husband went to order the drinks. There was no one behind the bar. O.k. Busy time. We waited and waited. Then my husband pressed the bell, still no one !!! We eventually left. No one even noticed us going.

Im reluctant to critisise a local hotel/restaurant because I think it is important to support local business, however our whole evening had an air of the faulty towers about it from the moment we booked, starting with a mix up on arrival about the number in our party, followed by the disclosure that the ice machine was broken,and the young lady who was managing to serve both the customers in the bar and take the food orders in the restaurant only knowing two dishes on the menu.Despite this she is an asset to the restaurant as she is capable, polite and able to juggle the demands of both a busy bar and a restaurant full of hungry customers.The restaurant has been redecorated and refurbished with very nice furniture, mirrors and ornaments. There is car parking to the side and rear of the hotel. I cant comment on the facilities as I didn't use them.To be fair we were served fairly promptly with a complimentary dish of prawn crackers and then the young lady came back from behind the bar and took our order.We shared a starter which was nicely cooked and nicely presented.We ordered Chicken Pad Thai (chicken noodles), which, when we eventually got them, were glutinous and bland, the chicken was very nicely cooked but the topping of crushed peanuts only added to the dryness of the dish and the accompanying mountain of refrigerated beansprouts added nothing at all.The chicken massaman curry tasted mainly of potato, which although it is one of the main ingredients, unfortunately dominated the delicate tamarind and coconut ,garlic flavours of the sauce. The Jasmine rice side dish was lovely.The young lady serving flitted between bar and restaurant without getting flustered however, despite her efforts sevice was slow.This is not a criticism, as I fully accept, if you are cooking from scratch with fresh ingredients then it will take time to serve a good meal, I really wish we could say we had a good meal. It was average.Tables filled up quite quickly while we were eating and we felt grateful we had arrived early, as by the time we were leaving there were rumblings from several other tables querying the delay in service.We decided we would go back again and try other dishes on the menu as we have eaten Thai food all over the world and it is a favourite cuisine so we would really like to find Thai dishes we can enjoy close to home.Thank you for your feedback and for the positive comments about our restaurant and our staff. You say you have eaten Thai food all over the world. Does this include Thailand?We serve only authentic Thai food. The pad Thai noodles are imported from Thailand. Pad Thai noodles are different to other noodles that you may have eaten before.In Thailand pad Thai is served with peanuts and beansprouts. You should mix everything together before eating the dish.If you don't know how to eat Thai food our Thai staff would have been happy to help if you had asked.We had a Thai lady eating in the restaurant that night who also ordered the Pad Thai.She commented that it was delicious and that it is hard to find authentic Pad Thai like this in England.The massman, panang and pad Thai are very popular here and we always get great comments. Massman curry should taste sweet, salt, sour and coconut. If you do not like ths style then you can order another thing from the menu.Yes the restaurant was busy that night with customers sitting in and also with deliveries and takeouts.As you rightly say the dishes are cooked with fresh ingredients from scratch and will take a little time to prepare. We note that you did not make any comments to our staff when you were in the restaurant.This would have given us the opportunity to help you and to educate you about Thai food.Next time you come to the restaurant please ask to talk to our chef before you order. She will be happy to help you and explain to you about Thai food.

Called on Friday around 5pm no problem getting a table for two. Prompt and polite service at the bar. Order taken at bar and food arrived after a little wait means freshly cooked. Nicely presented, tasted beautiful and tartar sauce home made best I have had complimented the succulent scampi. Well done will return. Waiting staff have had good training.

Visited here after reading positive reviews, was not disappointed, what a little gem! Sunday lunch was amazing, fresh and beautifully cooked, and the price was just unbelievable. The pub is very quirky, definitely no frills but I liked it, loads of interesting things to look at. Staff were very friendly and accommodating, canât wait to go back. Please note, they donât accept payment by card here, itâs cash only, donât get caught out.

Went in with family a few weeks back, had aubergine lasagna and chips with garlic stottie. Was really good. Was a very long wait, but the staff were very friendly and attentive. Not mad at the food in this town at all.

We have visited the Black Bull a number of times, the food is consistently good as is the welcome and the service. Four of us called in for lunch, I chose Northumbrian pork and apple sandwich with homemade potato wedges,honey mustard salad and mango mayo, what lovely flavours. My wife chose the Glebe Farm hot beef sandwich which also came which also came with the home made potato wedges, honey mustard salted and mango mayo, very tasty indeed. Our friends had the pan roasted free range chicken breast with potato dauphinois and pesto, once again lovely food. The Black Bull is a interesting place to have a look round, the service was pleasant and friendly, the food was exceptional and a lovely location.Well worth a visit.
