Capri At The Containers in Barnsley - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

We previously ate here last October and it was perfect food was beautiful and the staff were so attentive the gentleman server went above and beyond and was brilliant however the same could not be said for today. We arrived through the door downstairs with no one to greet you so we waited a good 10 minutes wondering if we just sit down anywhere when we finally saw a member of staff he simply said ‘upstairs’ no greeting or directions just ‘upstairs’. When we’d got to the second floor there again was no one to seat you the waitress didn’t even acknowledge we had walked in so we again were unsure if to sit down or not but saw a lot of others sat so we proceeded to the nearest table where the waitress finally came over and chucked menus on the table, again no greeting or pleasantries exchanged, I managed to ask if where we was sat was okay before she’d left again which was annoying as we clearly needed a high chair for our infant daughter which she didn’t even acknowledged to either say ‘would you like a high chair or if you need a high chair they’re located X’ I had to send my partner searching for one. She took our order and we wasn’t waiting too long for our drinks but the food seemed to take ages. The food was nothing to write home about it wasn’t the same level that we experienced last time and for the prices you pay you expect a lot more I felt like the food today was the same level you’d expect to get from a Witherspoon's. The service we received overall was really poor, the waitress even booted the high chair on her way past to another table and she didn’t even apologise. Really disappointed with our visit to Capri at the container this time, we won’t be returning.

Came here for breakfast on Saturday morning with my friend. It wasn’t particularly busy when we arrived and we had our order taken quite quickly. However it took about 20 minutes to get our drinks (just two cups of tea) and two other tables who came after us got theirs first. The food also took quite a while to come. There were only two members of staff on and they seemed a little stressed. The food was delicious when it did come, I had the breakfast brioche and my friend had maple syrup & bacon pancakes - couldn’t fault either of them! Would recommend coming here but only if you don’t mind waiting a bit for your food.

Booked for my mum's 60th after visiting Capri in Wakefield previously and having a great experience. Very disappointing when you arrive to find no-one to meet and great you downstairs so no clue as to where we were eating, when we realised we were eating on the terrace the table wasn't ready and the waiter was not interested in sorting it, we all pulled together cleaned the table that was half done sorted the table and chairs out just in time for when my mum arrived. Food was nice but when I ordered a bottle of wine I had to ask for an ice bucket, really poor if you ask me, the place lacks basic customer service skills, won't be going back.

Came over yesterday morning for breakfast for our daughter's birthday. All 3 of us really enjoyed our meal - a perfect full English for me and a delicious flat white coffee - and friendly & attentive service from the staff in the upstairs dining room. Thankyou!

Great, friendly and attentive service by the ladies serving and the food, pizzas, were very tasty tasty and the best we’ve had for some time. Nice atmosphere also.All in all excellent little restaurant and will definitely be back.

Very nice food and lovely service from the attentive and friendly staff. Everyone enjoyed their food and we will return again soon.

We hired out the fuction room for our work christmas party. Great atmosphere, great food and great team in the kitchen and behind the bar.

What can I say! This place /food is amazing. The gentleman front of house downstairs was just the best. We as a family of 5 norm find eating out a bit stressful but everyone of us loved it esp Rupert who tried everything then got his pizza in a box to takeaway with the finishing touch of a little note on his box which he loved. He even gave it 11*s which is high praise indeed! Def be back soon thanks again ❤️

The staff team worked super hard to put right a mix up with the booking for a very large party booking. We had a fabulous night and most of our guests didn’t know about the behind the scenes juggling going on. The manager (from the Vine restaurant) was a lovely guy and helped the evening to run smoothly. The food was amazing. We all had a great night. Thank you!

Absolutely lovely spot. Food was yummy! Had the chicken salad and it was served beautifully. Chicken was tender and the sauce was so tasty. Rob our server went above and beyond. I have two babies and sometimes feel anxious about coming out with them but he was amazing with them! Was visiting leeds with a friend, so not somewhere we usually go but next time I visit I will definitely be popping in. Thank you :)

An experience! We’ll worth a trip … and worth taking guests to experience it - but I’m not sure it will be a regular haunt for me! A little expensive for every week! Great for special occasions!

Quirky location, rather smelly environs from various odorous neighboring facilities (sewage plant, recycling plant etc). Food was tasty and relatovely good value for money. The three young girls waiting on were friendly and impressively efficient. It was very very noisy though, especially with several large parties in (including my own -- of 11), which means I doubt I'd return in a hurry as the noise put me off a little. Not for everyone but worth a try.

Average service, need at least one more member of staff or some form of management as none was there. It was the food that really disappointed. Missed two of the eight starters and Capri special pizza came out stone cold with raw mushrooms and peppers. As in completely raw, not even threatened with a cigarette lighter. Been few times before and its always been OK, not brilliant but OK but this will be the last time.

I had been recommended after a friend visited the mirfield restaurant. I liked the look of the building being made of containers. Very welcoming staff. We had drinks on the balcony before we went to our table. Orders taken and food was delivered quickly. The restaurant was buzzing with a good vibe and busy. The food was fantastic. Large menus to please all. A genourous portion of everything. The staff was so on the ball, very attentive. Making us feel very welcome. Thank you so much.

Another fabulous meal with great friendly service. Always my children’s 1st choice when eating out. Highly recommended

So we turned up a little bit early and had to wait for a good 5 Mins at the desk before anyone even came to greet us and then it was the chef that came and and just said sit where you want Then a waitress eventually came to speak to us. Drinks came quickly as did the main course. Food was incredible. Can’t fault it. Piping hot. Fresh. Really tasty and good portion sizes. Then a different very young waitress came and cleared the table and asked if we wanted desserts and brought us the menus. She was almost 25 minutes before she came back and that was only because again I had to complain to the chef that we had literally been left and no one had bothered with us. When she did come back I explained we had waited all this time and she said oh yeh that’s because we were downstairs and the servers are upstairs !!!!! Not good customer service at all Puddings amazing. All in all we enjoyed it but you expect to feel looked after and we didn’t.

Really was not impressed with the service or food. We waited a good 10/15 minutes to be provided with a menu. Our drinks came and my wine glass had pink lipstick marks all round the glass. Starters were average and mains were exactly the same. Could have made a better meal at home and really frustrating paying £80 for a meal and 1 drink each when you’re disappointed.

Great early evening meal on a hot summer's day. Might have expected it to be stuffy within a container setting, but was blissfully cooled( option to sit outside on terrace offered) Great food,portion sizes generous too. Will definitely be back.

Mmm, very, very average. Called in here as passing. It’s a strange venue for a start, burnt out cars at the back of the restaurant (which very nearly put us off, wish we’d have turned around) overlooking a main road, really odd place to have an eatery but having eaten at the Vine in Wakefield we thought the food would be ok. Steak was chewy, my husband was given the wrong main, me and my son had finished our mains and had to wait for my husband to be brought his. Spaghetti and garlic bread were nice. Desserts were questionable, tiramisu and amaretto cake, they were both stale but covered in chocolate to try and disguise. We ate it as we were hungry. Won’t be eating here again. Oh and also lots of flies buzzing around which is never great. Don’t waste your money here, go to Flying PIzza in Roundhay for a decent Italian, same prices.

Visited Capri at the containers a few times and would like to say it has always a lovely experience. Staff are fantastic and clean and tidy venue. The food is lovely and quickly prepared.

Went for breakfast with a friend who hadn't been to Capri before. Was greeted warmly as we entered and advised to head upstairs, where we were met and shown to our table with menus. Order taken promptly and we didn't have long to wait for drinks or breakfast. The full vegetarian breakfast was lovely - hot, with tasty mushrooms. perfectly cooked poached egg and wonderful salty halloumi! Served with beans. avocado and hash brown. Lovely tasty and hot coffee too. Service was attentive, but not over powering in what ended up being quite a busy morning. Ample parking on site, lovely decor, friendly staff and great food at a reasonable price!

Great service beautiful food and good value for money would recommend and will be going back again 👍👍

My first visit. Lovely food, lovely atmosphere. Great portion sizes too. Small place but we didnt mind, felt more intimate. Will definitely come again.

Fantastic food, excellent service and a really cosy beautiful setting. We will definitely be back. The menu presents as typical Italian fare, but I have to say everything we ordered tasted outstanding. My paella style risotto was jam packed with seafood and tasted divine. My...

Good service good food. Ambiance was very pleasant. But the young waitress who brought the bill wouldn’t leave the table until we had settled our bill. Not how it should be done. It cost the rest of the staff our tip.

First timers - Delicious food & cocktails and excellent friendly service .Not what you would expect from a container lol Definitely will be back and recommend.

My daughter and grandson recently took me for a lovely breakfast. It was the first visit and it was a very windy day but you couldn’t tell when in there. You just forget you’re in containers as It is decorated beautifully. We sat upstairs in...

Nice Breakfast with great staff, like a high end restaurant but at a fraction of the cost Unusual building that adds to the event

We have driven past this a few times over the last few weeks so thought we would give it a try. Lovely welcome when we arrived and great smells coming from the kitchen. Lovely decor. We had 2 young children but weren’t told there was...

We dined here last night. On arrival there was no one to greet us downstairs, we were rather abruptly told by a young, blonde, lady on the stairs to go upstairs where someone would attend to us, nobody did until she came back. We were...

Nice and interesting place. Food was okay, definitely not the best but good portion sizes Staff seemed a little slow.

Family birthday meal. Was v excited but turned out to be a bit of a let down. Live singer was so loud couldnt hold conversation. Some family members food was disappointing - too salty. Pizzas average. Risotto good. Mixed bag. Waitress was good. When explained...

Visiting for a joint breakfast with friends. The welcome to the venue was very warm and jolly. The space is great and once inside you wouldn’t notice that you’re in a set of containers. It was very warm inside! Service was average but the waitress...

Stopped by off chance for a late family lunch. Overall, it was a nice experience and we were pleasantly surprised. Some interesting takes on Italian classics. The food was great, service nice and everyone enjoyed.

Sunday lunch small menu but Italian sausages off substandard replacement beef off, watery gravy £30 for a poor wine £8 for San Miguel If you want to be ripped off this is the place for you.

Welcome was fantastic and the smell of food from the kitchen was wonderful. Very comfortable area to sit and service was a little slow but wasn’t intrusive. Food was good, I had the calzone which was thin pizza and excellent filling. Sauce with it was...

From asking for a bespoke multi choice menu for 20 people to visiting today, Josh and the team were amazing. They efficiently managed to serve everyone in a smooth seamless service. Everyone enjoyed their meals. Although we appreciate everyone can not receive their food exactly...

Very good coffee, small Americano but how it should be, ended up ordering 2, absolutely fine. I went for a special Mediterranean Omlette, my husband went for the Ham Omlette, did wait alot longer than the couple that also arrived at the same time as...

I love what they have done with this restaurant - it's built out of shipping containers but is fitted out to a luxury standard. The food is fantastic and very reasonably priced. We've eaten here quite a few times now and it's our new favourite....

We stopped for a coffee and a croissant. The girl behind the food counter was busy brushing her hair over the food and continued to do this whilst we were talking to her. She took the hairs out of the brush and dropped them on...

This is the best one of the best restaurants in Leeds offering great food and excellent service. We have dined here regularly since it opened and on our last visit there were a couple of issues with some menu items. I reported these to the...

We went with friends who eat out regularly and who had never been before. They were impressed with the whole experience and said they would return and also try one of your other restaurants. Great evening had by all.

Dinner last night at Capri. Unusual setting but it works very well. Young team all very attentive . I had the best sirloin steak I have ever had - cooked Perfect. We did not try the outdoor terrace largely because it was full so it...

Me and my partner visited last night (18/8/22 I ordered the posh prawn cocktail, it claimed to have lobster, cold water prawns and Argentinian king prawns, I’m sorry but there were no Argentinian king prawns in there, just small amount of lobster and cold water...

We ordered take away breakfasts for a local business. On return to our office, a breakfast muffin (avocado & haloumi) was missing the avocado? I returned to the restaurant and pointed this out. The chef lifted the lid and slapped the avocado on the side....

Delicious food from start to finish, I had a steak and it was perfect. Staff were caring and offered quick service when needed. Would visit again 100%

We visited here for the first time today. So impressed with the concept and the decor was fab!’had a gorgeous breakfast will definitely be back and would highly recommend

Love what these guys have done with a few shipping containers. The decor and attention to detail is excellent. Had dinner on the terrace and then drinks after in the wine bar on the top floor and with the sun shining on us, it truly...

Welcoming and plenty of choice on breakfast and main menu. There were 4 of us and all had different meals. All were hot and tasty. Service excellent. Just thought the monkfish dish was a bit pricey

If you want speedy service, it’s perhaps not the choice for you. Coffees took 20 mins. And whatever you do, don’t ask to have sourdough (on the menu) instead of a muffin. I was served warburtons. When I asked, I was told the chef said...

The service was a bit of a disaster. Not the attentiveness, but the execution. So we dined on a Sunday lunch as a family of four. Ordered our drinks and 2 of the 4 drinks came out wrong. A white wine and soda turned into...

2nd visit yesterday and enjoyed a lovely meal again. Lovely ambience and helpful and accommodating staff. Good choice of menu too and more than adequate portions. Seating well spaced and one doesn't feel hemmed in.

My wife and I visited for lunch. After clarifying that we only wanted a sandwich we were given a light lunch menu. I had the Egg Royale which was simply outstanding. My wife cannot eat gluten and most of the items of on the menu...

Fabulous evening - excellent food and great friendly service from Valentino and the team - have also booked for Brunch - very highly recommended

Last minute table booking. Been wanting to try for a long time. Valentino's customer service was second to none! The food was absolutely amazing! Me, my partner and daughter all tried something different compared to what we normally get and I cannot fault any of...

We had a pleasant evening our food was very good and the service was attentive. The interior was excellently designed - containers definitely not.

Initial mix up with our booking but we were seated quickly even though they were busy. Staff were all young but excellent, very attentive and clearly hard working. Tables were cleared and cleaned quickly. Nice choice on the menu and I love the option of...

Lovely lunch although pricey. All ok until we pointed out to the waiter that the bill was wrong and we had been charged for drinks which we hadn’t had. Shortly after he went away, a lady (manager?) marched over to the table and told us...

I booked a table for 4 over the phone, a week in advance for a special birthday celebration. We’d visited this Capri once before and it was great, so seemed a safe bet. On arrival, the man greeting us upstairs took our party of 4...

interior of the restaurant is really well designed in an unusual setting. Food was absolutely delicious with great presentation and flavours. Staff very friendly. Well worth a visit despite being slightly out of the way

Beautiful inside the restaurant Staff very pleasant Food very mediocre nothing really special Starters: Friends had calamari and said it was just warm I had meatballs and not very tasty Main One had calzone and enjoy it Other had risotto and said it was beautiful...

We had cocktails on the balcony. At £9,50 each i felt these were over priced as nothing special. You’d paid this in Leeds city centre at a bar with a descent view. We ordered paella & chicken. For me the rice was too sweet, which...

What a fantastic place. The inside is amazing and obviously no expense as been spared. The food we ordered is second to none and I and my wife would certainly recommend this little gem to anyone.

We loved this place. Really lovely venue and staff were friendly and efficient. An extensive menu with Italian theme. Food was beautiful. Lovely outdoor terraces on each floor. We will definitely be back.
