Black Iron Social in Barnsley

It was a great pub; I would recommend it. On the day we arrived, it was Thai food day, which has a very limited menu that was delicious but was small portions. I got the Thai fish cakes starter, which came with a tiny portion with salad and sweet chilli, and the fish cakes were 5 pieces of little prawn burgers. They tasted slightly salty, but when put with sauce, they were very good. This cost 5 pounds (from what I remember), and my main was red curry with jasmine rice. I decided to ask to have it spicy, as mild is the default option (Mama didn't raise no B) It was amazing, and I heavily recommend it. What I had was a spicy and just slightly sweeter curry paired with chicken and bell pepper, but from trying milder versions, I would recommend choosing mild, as I can easily tolerate spicy. The food it was not bad, but mild had a better flavour palate. With spicy, you get a hint of sweet, salty goodness, and then BAM, the spice constantly blows it out of your mouth. So for better taste, go mild. This cost 15 pounds, I believe. The service was amazing. very kind people, and it felt that they catered to us a lot, which was very kind of them. Overall, a great experience. Would recommend

Very friendly staff very welcoming and polite but unfortunately I wasn’t to happy with my order. When I placed my order I noticed they already prep meals in boxes fish chips sausage and chips etc and put them in a hot cupboard I guess to make service faster. When I got home the food was a bit soggy because of this process and the portions were definitely not worth the money I paid.

Excellent place as ever, highly recommended

Good atmosphere, friendly staff, delicious food and fair prices. Will definitely be back

I recently visited Falco Lounge and was quite disappointed with the experience. Firstly, the children's play area was very dirty, and most of the toys were broken. It's also located right next to a set of stairs with no safety gate, which felt unsafe for younger children. The restaurant itself didn’t seem very clean either, and a lot of the chairs were wobbly — it felt like the furniture had been bought but never properly maintained. Overall, the vibe reminded me of a run-down Wetherspoons. Service also left a lot to be desired. I had to ask multiple times for basic things like children's cutlery, sauces, and even a replacement chair after the one we were given was broken. The staff didn’t seem very attentive or organised. The food was okay, probably around a 6 or 7 out of 10, with the chips being the standout. However, the kids' menu and drinks were very overpriced for what you get. It’s a real shame because the place has a lot of potential, but at the moment it just feels run down and poorly managed.
