Apart from the website being down so not being able to book a table we had to just turn up due to not answering multiple phone calls either..

Apart from these hiccups the food and service was fantastic.. very quick and very friendly staff :)

Thank you

My first visit to a genuine coal mine
Oct 2019
Only open on certain dates. Well worth supporting.

The colliery chimney is visible from Mow Cop, and is there is an air of mystery of what its purpose was. The supporters are very friendly and helpful. I feel that this is an under recognised heritage site and worthy of wider recognition.

Great food with even better atmosphere

Came in a with a group of friends after work for a light meal and a couple of drinks to talk over. Was served by Kaisey who was very polite and knowledgeable on different foods/ drinks. The music and overall feel of the pub was amazing will be returning!

A wonderful look back in time with the buildings still standing albeit weather worn. This place needs bringing back to its former glory so that we can pass the history of our once great nation on to our children and our children's children

An important part of local history
Oct 2019
I received a warm welcome from a group of people who care deeply about the protection and restoration of this important mine.
I would encourage everyone, local or not, to pay a visit and take one of the guided tours. A fascinating visit, thank you to the Friends Of Chatterley Whitfield.

A fascinating look behind the locked gates of Chatterley Whitfield
Sep 2019
A wonderful insight into the history of Chatterley Whitfield and the local mining industry, with enthusiastic tour guides. A wonderful place to capture photos of these sadly decaying buildings which are usually off-limits to the public. I would recommend this to anyone interested in local history.

Heritage weekend
Sep 2019
My wife and I had a great time today on the Heritage weekend tour. I live very close to the site and was fascinated to look around the site. The tour guides were very knowledgeable about everything to do with the site and answered any questions we had. Chatterley Whitfield is run by volunteers, and what a fantastic job they do! The tour and a visit to the Heritage Centre took just over 2 hours so well worth a visit. I'll be going back for another visit in the near future.
