The usual destination in Brassington is The Gate, and this has not lost its appeal despite the somewhat frosty reception we often encounter, but we decided to try out the Miners' Arms and were not disappointed. There was a pleasant welcome from both landlord and regulars alike, there was food available (left over from an earlier funeral) and a good range of beers, primarily from Jennings Brewery in the Lake District. Comfortable seating, albeit in a slightly stretch-out arrangement (the pub's much longer than it is wide). Well worth another visit.
