Chestnut Tree in Barnsley

My large family has been here many times, and until today, we would have given much higher scores, but unfortunately, tonight the food was awful, one member of staff was really rude and basically through the food at us. So disappointed as a table of 15 we spent a lot of money. Won't be going back again.

My daughters meal finally arrived after all 15 of us had finished ours. Obviously, they had forgotten about her meal. The food was microwaved to the point where the chicken had the texture of rubber and the chips were terribly over cooked. My sizzler meal came out not sizzling, the sausages for the mixed grill were missed and came out separately and even then they weren't cooked through. I ordered an apple crumble for desert, it arrived with no crumble, just small pieces of apple which again were microwaved so much they were just mush. Terrible food, totally disorganised, and the staff just couldn't care less. This usually, is our go-to family place to go, I think it's time to find a better alternative.

They nail it everytime.. Great staff, good good, speedy service. Cannot recommend enough... Special mention to Ari(?) for going above and beyond but all staff are10/10

Ben was excellent and the food was delicious

Food was awful, burnt bacon, snotty eggs/undercooked, cold mushrooms.. tvs were playing kids tv too loud.. service would of got an extra star had they of checked off everything was ok, didn’t complain as didn’t have time to.

Really nice vegan mushroom pie and vegan lasagna. The vegan gravy is the best gravy I've had in a long time and the member of staff who took the order behind the bar was lovely.

Terrible food. Dry, horrible chicken. Inedible sausage. I complained to the staff and all I was told was that they would let me kitchen know. Children's play area smelt like wee. We left after an hour and won't return.

Beginning to look a bit shabby, but a good cup or coffee at a very reasonable price.

All the family enjoyed their meals at a good price,highly recommend staff were really welcoming and helpful.

Came again, and the food was excellent... we love tuesdays at the chestnut tree. mix it ups are a great meal and such a good price. service is always great, we do come on a weekend sometimes and it can be very busy but thats just how it works. staff are always fantastic and always help if you have an issue and also talk on a personal note too which is great sometimes

Love it... Excellent Service this afternoon here. Staff communicate with you rather than just leaving you too it which is nice to see

Came here as a stop off during the summer and had an absolutely fantastic experience! This place truly has something for everyone. First off, the food was incredible. From hearty pub food to more refined dishes, everything we had for a family of 6 was delicious and well-prepared. The menu offers a great variety, ensuring there’s something to satisfy every palate, especially for the kids! One of the standout features is the children’s play area. It’s spacious, safe, and filled with fun activities to keep the little ones entertained. As a parent, it’s such a relief to find a place where the kids can play while we enjoy our meal. The drink selection is also impressive. They have a wide range of options, from local craft beers to fine wine. Whether you’re a beer enthusiast or prefer something a bit more sophisticated, you’ll find plenty to choose from. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, with friendly staff who go out of their way to make sure you have a great time. I highly recommend the chestnut tree for a family-friendly outing or a casual night out with friends. We’ll definitely be back!

Lovely establishment. Would have definitely taken advantage of the Children's Soft Play area if our little one wasn't ready so tired. Food was absolutely spot on 👌

Lovely family birthday meal for my daughter and it was great. service was spot on, food was delicious and staff was friendly and polite.We was very impressed thanku and will definitely be going again 😀

Had the southern comfort Texas toast, OMG it was massive and tasted amazing, would highly recommend it 🤤🤤🤤

Great meal. Good service. Pudding a little of a letdown. Very small portion compared to other hungry horses Also, people parking in Disabled parking with no badges

I am a local in the Chestnut tree . Last week I had a bad week with an anniversary nof a friend's death and two friends died this week . I went for a quiet pint after work to chill out and to have moment. . 2 staff. Holly White and deveon saw that I was not my usual self. .went above and beyond to make sure I was ok through talking and just spending time with me. . these two ladies deserve recognition for how they made me feel . Thank you so much

Was here on Saturday 14th of September for a meal to celebrate mine and my son's birthday with a large group of people. Lots of our food was over cooked or under cooked. Some things still frozen. We told waiter staff items was missing and at first expected us to shear a sause even thought we paid for more. Over all very disappointed as this is totally opposite to our first experance here , definitely will not return now as it's gone down hill.

Food was nice here I had the bacon burger and my girlfriend had fish and chips all was cook to perfection and Owen was a big help to us with serving

Came to the quiz on Wednesday with my girlfriend had a good time and the smoking jack burger was lovely would recommend

Came today after seeing the Facebook posts for burgers. Big portions and lovely food

I ordered the Full Monty Mixed Grill, then i was told they had no steak after i had paid, so i had to have extra gammon or chicken. When i received my food the chicken was dry and chewy, the sauce was very peppery more than normal. Other than that the other food was fine and the chips where nice and crispy. The trifle baked alaska was beautiful.

Ordered gravy which was basically just warmed up brown sauce. Poor service all round. Would not come again

From when I have visited the Chestnut tree the food has been ok, the staff have been great, it is a popular place for families. The down side is on a night there are too many bolshy older kids in and for this reason we don't go anymore

Came here to enjoy a lovely meal with friends. Being a Sunday, we thought it would be a good idea to order the Roast. The menu gives you an impression that you will have a decent sized meal. When receiving the meal, we were trying to work out if we somehow ordered the child’s meal. The roast potato was not much bigger than a pound coin. I could count the amount of veg I had. I did not have much good interaction with the staff, when asking about the cutlery, the staff told me to go to get it from the cutlery station which i didn’t know where it was because I had not been here before. I would not order this again or visit again, my friends were also disappointed.

The food is nice, nice place to take the family would recommend

The food was really nice and my steak was cook perfectly

Love a pint of stella in Chestnut Tree, staff are great and have a great attitude

There was a charity event on that I attended, the atmosphere was great, staff had a good attitude, I didn't buy any food or drink, so I couldn't tell you what it's like but, a great place for family to meet and enjoy meals together while kids can play in the play area.

Great spot and a wacky warehouse too

Long wait for drinks. Need mire staff.

We go most Wednesdays to the chestnut tree for the quiz night, we always have food before the quiz and it's always lovely, we've never had a problem , the staff are always polite , helpful , lovely people and always try to do their best to accommodate us. The quiz is brilliant and I would highly recommend it, whether we've gone as a family or just the two of us we've always thoroughly enjoyed it , plus we've won a few times and the £20 or £10 Greeneking voucher you get for winning (depending whether it's the weekly or monthly quiz) is an added bonus. If you haven't been definately try it

Had gammon really nice three big pieces well impressed.

Sunday special, roast and a drink £10. Sounds good but the drink doesn't seem to include coffee???!!!! 😕 Neither of us drink alcohol or soft drinks so why isn't coffee included, it's a drink, it's on the menu, we feel cheated and penalised for our life style. Very disappointed 😞

What a lovely pint of Guinness. Best in the area by far

Love coming here get brilliant service and kelis (gannet) is brilliant and is so polite and helpful

Very rude manageress...wouldnt go back if you paid me. Will be letting friends and family know too.

We had a party of 10 diners & a baby with no reservation. We were looked after & felt very welcome. The service was quick & the food very tasty. No complaints from any of our party. Would highly recommend 🙂 Sorry, I thought I'd pressed 5 stars but must have pressed 2. I've amended it correctly now.

This place was amazing, really happy staff especially when ordering our meals couldn't ask for a better place for a birthday meal....we were there on the 4,8 24. I recommend the seabas.

Cheap and cheerful. Good food and good service. Sometimes it does get busy so there is a longer waiting time for food but that normal anywhere.

Had real fun, actually enjoying it’s a good time to relax and have fun

Nipped in for breakfast for myself and my partner! Food was lovely and the staff were great! We loved how welcoming they all were and nothing was too much trouble. We will definitely be back to use the Wacky Warehouse with our little girl

Friendly, welcoming and perfect for a meal out that doesn’t cost the world!

We got told about the new menu coming today on our visit last night so thought we’d pop through for dinner and see what it was like. Some great additions! Nice to see some lamb dishes being added. cant wait to try everything. hubby said fishcakes were stunning

Really good Breakfast, not been in for a while so may call back and try a main meal.

Always a great atmosphere and the quiz on a Wednesday is amazing, that guy pat behind the bar is a lovely bloke always happy and ready to help.

Had the Thursday night offer of curry and a drink for £8, sat outside in the sunshine. Service was a little slow as it was peak time but food was tasty, a decent portion and good value for money.

We spent a lovely afternoon with family at The Chestnut Tree. The staff were really helpful booking our table. The food came quickly and the young waitress, Leanne, who served our table was really friendly and chatty with our young grandchildren.

Staff were extremely helpful, food was fast and nice.

The food and service is really great for value

New lamb kofta very tasty 😋 along with friendly helpful staff

Sorry to say but the food was vile, no beef, no turkey the bar lady told me they got chicken so am like ok, sounds fine, it look like a dogs dinner when they brought it out to us the mash looks horrible and the chicken breast was chewy n salty it was disgusting 🤢 and so when I went to see someone, he didn’t look bothered and he ask me if my meal was still at the table but after waiting ages to see him, the people already took our plates I was offered no money back or free desserts that I ordered, I won’t be back, lost good custom. Paid good money for Sunday dinners and my youngest said it was disgusting and she loves a roast! Very disappointing.

Food is great. Service can be slow when it's busy but that's understandable. It can be busy at weekends but the kids always enjoy the play area and the park.

Called in today and I must say the food was lovely. The staff were really pleasant and they even asked about allergies when we ordered, It came in a reasonable time and presented well, thank you

Good for a quick dinner nothing to fancy

Brillant customer service Louise great help Thanks again

It's the first time we have been here for a meal. Impressed by the quality of the food and the service, will definitely be making a 2nd visit.

Nice place. Great improvement since our last visit! Nothing was too much for them to cater to..

Got served by a beautiful knowledgeable lady called Gemma. Advised me on some gorgeous IPA ales arriving on pump next week. Excited to try some and loved going back to the bar to get served each time. Lovely girl lovely experience xx

The food was to be expected for a budget friendly pub. The person who served us was very polite and respectful, it’s a shame the rest of the staff were treating it as a playground, running in and out of the kitchen chasing each other. And over all being annoying. This just ruined the overall experience for our meal.

Service good, but the curry wasn't, it tasted like a warmed up microwaved one :-(

Go here quite a bit as it’s local. It can be hit and miss at times but more good than bad Went in today on Father’s Day. Weren’t booked as it was last min plans. They were super organised although very busy. Managed to squeeze us in non the less. Had a great priced Sunday lunch and some kids meals which were lovely and came in no time at all. All in all great service and nice food as you’d expect for the price.

A chain Green King Pub. It certainly meets with their ethics. The menu is varied and good value, 2 meals under £12. The duty manager was also very polite and helpful when I asked about the function room.

Now my regular place .brought my eldest son to celebrate his birthday. Great place, value and food. Staff are very welcoming.

Had my daughters baby shower there today staff great service great amount of food for buffet just disappointed with quiche really watery but apart from that all good thank you

Us to use this pub nearly everyday, and it just keeps going down hill, food cheap but it's rubbish, been in tonight at 10.15pm and told last orders been called for drinks, not happy but a pub as a right to close of its own choosing, so why advertise your open until 11pm, other pubs around you don't like the new inn

Walked in to playarea. Stood in a pile of food right in entrance. Didn't stay long. Looking around, quite dirty. *Update* I was invited to a party here and I wasn't overjoyed to go back. Complete turn around. Was clean this time. Also the party food offered was one of the best I've seen. Nice to see some fruit/veg on plates. 👍 Went back for a 3rd time as we had a free play voucher with the party pack. Sad to say it's back to dirty and cramped and staff very uninterested. Maybe on party days they take more care? I dunno. I won't be going back.

Never been a problem. Ive benn coming here for years now. Never let me down so far

Called with visiting friends, good atmosphere and had fun at the quizz

Typical Hungry Horse. Great menu at reasonable prices and friendly staff, and with part of their car park used for a car boot sale yesterday (bank holiday Sunday). Hungry Horse was as excellent as usual.

We ordered 3 portions of chips and a chicken and bacon baguette, when the food came out they brought a chicken dish which we didn't order, the waitress was really rude when we told her we didn't order that and said "well that's what I've got" and the huffed and walked away. Also when we went to the bar there was 3 of them just stood messing around on there phones and not noticing that we wanted serving, when they did notice they said can you come down here please. Won't be going again.

Amazing Place, Staff and Patrons where friendly and Helpful, Food was 5/5, Not too Loud but Not Awkwardly Quiet, Doesnt Break The Bank for 2 Adults and a Toddler, Spent about £50 in total with Drinks and Desserts, Will 100% Be Back Again, Thank you too All Staff

Amazing food good value 4 money xx

Not a bad local pub. Plenty of room and popular for families with activity soft play area and small outdoor play area. There is an outdoor seating area which is popular on bank Holidays and weekends especially when the weather is warm. This place can get busy. Decent selection of alcohol and bar type food with special offers on certain days. (Not the best food ive tasted but not too bad, the kids like it) I recommend the steak & ale pie, and horseshoe donut (they are both massive) There are booths inside with tvs for the kids to keep then entertained and a pool area which I believe dogs are accepted. This place accepts reservations.

Burger came with no Bacon, also the free Burger didn't come (Bogof Friday). Asked the waitress, she said she would bring the bacon for the burger. 20 minutes later, cold Burger with no bacon and the other burger didn't come. Friends all had a nice dinner, I cancelled and got just the money back I paid Also, look at the picture, I'm not a rabbit but come on, the lettuce doesn't cover half the bun!! .

Me and my daughter went to the wakey warehouse and the children really enjoyed themselves, even had their face painted which was really cheap. The staff were brilliant and really helpful, will definitely be going again.

Been here quite a few times and we've never been disappointed. Beautiful food and excellent service.

Gemma was very welcoming and polite very nice atmosphere

He sweet corn was cold and the peas.we booked for 5pm got out at 7.55pm. The service was slow. It took 3 hour to have starters, mains, and pudding.

Called in to say a huge thank you to colleagues and customers for raising so much money for Macmillan Cancer Support. AMAZING xx

Popped in for a breakfast, very quiet, staff unfriendly, had to wait over half an hour for a lukewarm, sorry looking breakfast, went to the bar to ask where it was and was ignored. We couldn't even touch our table as it was sticky. Not worth the wait and certainly won't be going again. Coffee was nice but overall pretty terrible.

Good food served timely. Friendly staff, thank you to our play area host Devon for being fab as always!

We had a loverly meal brilliant prices staff are lovely

Sorry, eat here often but won't be returning after having a poor experience. I had scampi and chips with garden peas, the chips were hard, the scampi was cold and the garden peas were cold so I left my meal. No I didn't complain as I had just returned a pint of Carling which tasted like vinegar. So not the great dining experience, won't be back.

Enjoyed lunch with my friend, meals were hot and lovely, we will call again.

Deffo worth a second or even third visit 👍👍

The best steak pie ever. Chips and food in general was hot and delicious.

Service of those bringing food stank. No courtesy, especially for a large table of 16 inc 7 kids. We seemed like an inconvenience. Bar staff were not aware of anything to do with arrangements in Wacky Warehouse over Easter weekend. Staff levels seemed too low for an Easter Bank Holiday weekend and cutlery dirty. Food OK but wouldn't recommend or go again. It's all out of a packet or from the grill, so the "chefs" sorry cooks don't need much knowledge.

Really nice place to eat the food was good however the man behind the Bar ‘Pat was very rude and unwelcoming. We also sat in the over 18’s area to eat our food, unfortunately a family came in with a few children, it didn’t make a difference to us but we heard others commenting and complaining about it.

Very impressed with the service and friendliness of the staff made a very good first impression on me and my son. Food was good and relatively quick. Very family friendly. A huge factor for us is that it was clean, especially the carpet. The waitrons didn't wipe table spillage on to the floor, no dirty napkins under the tables etc., that's a BIG thumbs up for me 👍

All round good Valerie and service

Ordered mucho nachos grande cold & greasy gravy burger too dry would not recommend

Tyler are server was brilliant helped with dietary requirements as asked thank you

It was quite busy had to wait a long time which wasn't easy with 2 toddlers. I had steak which on arrival looked lovely but was actually very fatty brought it home for the dog so was disappointed. Only seemed to be 1 guy running around like a headless chicken felt sorry for him .This was on a Tuesday

I took my daughter for a meal for a special occasion, the food took 40 minutes to arrive , my daughters order was incomplete and the waitress was told , she then proceeded to serve at the bar instead of rectifying the problem , waited another 10 minutes still incomplete and now the meal was cold, waitress asked if we wanted it warming up, told her to replace it and waited another 10 minutes , only a jacket potato with beans butter and cheese , was replaced with yet another luke warm potato and beans, very Disappointing and will not return

Visit chestnut tree atleast 3 times a week, curry Wednesday, Saturday with children and Sunday for the roasts 😍🥰 Amazing food, friendly staff an reasonable prices. Won't eat anywhere else, myself an my dad have become part of the furniture we are there so often 😂😅 xx

Undercooked fatty steak, unclean tables, friendly staff

Went today for food had the steak sizzler it was cooked to perfection absolutely delicious very happy sticky toffee pudding with bourbon custard was to die for too !! Great service and jack the manger was so polite and attentive highly recommend definitely be back

Visit 3 Times a week with daughter and grandchildren. Amazing food an friendly staff. Won't eat anywhere but chestnut and travel from huddersfield to barnsley

I spent a lovely afternoon here with my friends, the staff was always happy to help and friendly
