About The Copper Mine
On Job's Hill Bank in Crook, The Copper Mine is a gastropub with a traditional interior and a beer garden. Dogs are welcome throughout, and on Sunday lunch they're given their own meat treats alongside the roast. The menu runs through sticky chicken with sesame and rice, ciabatta chicken with bbq sauce and chips, steak pie, steak strips on a bed of fries and flatbread, and a hot shot parmo. Sunday lunch is served on top of the regular offering. Reservations are required, and the pub gets busy, particularly at weekends. An on-site car park sits alongside additional on-street parking, though spaces there can be taken by residents, and a bus stop lies about 50 metres away for those arriving without a car.

Customer Review Summary
Diners repeatedly point to the sticky chicken with sesame and rice, the steak pie, and the steak strips on fries with flatbread as standouts, with one reviewer flagging the hot shot parmo but wishing for more jalapenos, pepperoni, and red onion on it. Staff draw consistent praise for friendliness and squeezing in walk-ins even without a booking, and several note food arriving quickly despite the pub filling up fast on busy weekends. Portions and prices come up often as generous and reasonable, and the traditional, cosy interior with its car park and beer garden gets repeat mentions, along with the dog-friendly welcome. The one recurring trade-off is wait time: one lunch visit meant a half hour wait for food, and multiple reviewers now recommend booking ahead given how quickly the room fills, especially on weekends. Several groups who arrived without a reservation still describe being fitted in, one on a passing-through visit and another for a last-minute stop after a trip.

“Amazing staff, so friendly! Food was lovely, really nice, seeing other people's orders being served, and all the food looked great. One little thing: the hot shot parmo needs more jalapenos, more pepperoni, and more red onion. We will definitely be back to try more of the extensive menu.”

“We went here on the way back from Northumberland and chose to eat here due to the glowing reviews and it didn't disappoint. They managed to sneak us a table as it was last minute. The steak pie was fantastic, and the steak strips on a bed of fries and flatbread were mouthwatering. Lovely atmosphere and great service. Would definitely go again.”

“Great little pub. Good range of drinks on tap and behind the bar. Food is good quality British pub food. Portions are good and food is served in a timely manner. Prices are very reasonable, if not affordable. The interior is very traditional, warm, cosy and inviting. There is an on-site car park bug enough to serve the pub and there is additional on street parking, though this may be taken by the residents on the road. If you are not driving there is a bus stop 50m away so well within walking distance.”
