Dearne Valley Farm, Dining & Carvery in Barnsley

Claire was extremely helpful and found me a table despite it being busy and me being without a booking. The carvery was great and the service continued to be excellent from Claire throughout.

Service made Sunday dinner brilliant The lovely / friendly Claire who couldn’t do enough for anyone and whose lovely personality shone through. Whatever you pay her isn’t enough. She was a delight … The only downside was the roast potatoes. I love me some roasts but there were either seriously cooked .. but the rest of the food was brilliant Would highly recommend

Had the most wonderful time at the Breakfast With Santa Event. Would definitely recommend!

Thanks to Claire for the excellent service

Thank you Claire, very friendly. Great service food great as always. And well the cakes are just the best

Lovely place great food and drinks amazing atmosphere, very friendly staff especially claire who goes above and beyond to make you feel welcome

Lauren was really polite and friendly lovely service

Food lovely, pub nice, Lauren great

Lovely place to eat . Food always good . Lauren was very helpful and friendly .

Great choice of food. We went with a group of 16, for a Christmas meal, thinking it would be a fixed menu but was able to choose anything from their extensive choice. Definitely going again

Good food at a good price. Very friendly staff

Lovely food staff really friendly and efficient will definitely be visiting again

Great staff, Claire was really helpful and made us really welcome.

Friendly staff, good food and atmosphere.

It was very busy when we arrived, we didn't book a table so we were sat at a small round table right next to the bar. (Very convenient for us) We only popped in for a small glass of wine after our Christmas shopping. The service was great and we had a lovely lady serve us her Name was Lauren. Nothing was to much trouble.

The worst carvery ever. Turkey dry, beef gray, tough and dry, ham was ok. Potatoes burnt on outside raw in middle. All Veggies were mush and did somebody lose the cheese because there was none on the cauli cheese. The counter by the gravy was filthy covered in Stuffing and spilt gravy everywhere no place to put a hot plate down. Gravy utterly tasteless as was all the food. What service? We had to order at bar and take drinks back to table ourselves. No napkins on carvery and staff literally shoveling veg and potatoes out, no gloves, no head coverings. I mentioned it was the worst to staff on leaving and all she said was ok thanks.

Decided to bring my mum and girlfriend for a sunday roast and definitely didn’t disappoint we have all been deafened. absolutely lovely staff and amazing food. Definitely recommend

Food was great . Everything cooked to perfection. Fast service and very friendly fast also with the drinks thanku

Amazing carvery…left happy and full ! Great for families. Big shout out to Claire…kind, friendly and nothing too much trouble. So welcoming. Very grateful.

Fabulous meal and service once again

Lauren was very helpful and made sure we had everything we needed, the carvery was great.

Brought our group of people with learning disabilities and the staff couldn't have been more helpful. The food was very good too, especially the cake !!!

Amazing food and amazing service from Claire Thank You!

Not very busy at this time nice and quiet. All staff are lovely Lauren and the hostess that day. Person cooking the meat looked terrified at carvery stand. All in all food lovely for the price

Fabulous customer service, delicious food, great value for money.

Great carvery, nice place, nice staff.

Food was lovely staff was very helpful. Shout out to Claire she was brilliant. :)

Wonderful food, service was amazing (thank you Claire!) would recommend!😁

It seems to me that they rush the food that why the pudding didn't taste right and roast potatoes were black and new potatoes was hard the pork was very fatty spoil the dinner for me

Lovely meal, fantastic service from Clare.

Enjoyed a nice breakfast. The staff were friendly.

Lauren went above and beyond today nothing was to much for her which always makes it worth coming back. Carvery always nice however I think the veg needs to be cooked a bit longer

The table was a complete disgrace, we all had carvery which was disappointing, the mash potatoes were so hard and lumpy and the vegetables were very few and bitty. There was no red cabbage. When returning to the table the cutlery was completely filthy, looked like someone had just eaten using all the folks with food stuck on them, took a while to then get replacements while the food was going cold. Took 2 deserts home with us. One was the Mars attack which was not cooked properly in the middle then the other was burnt making us feel very reluctant to return and very disappointed.

The food wasn’t the best, burger tasted really fatty and the carvery wasn’t the best. But Claire was lovely and very welcoming

The carvery here has always been great but they used to do a 2 main meals deal which is now so extortionate that it isn't worth it ,so it definitely was good at one point but I believe they are pricing there selves out compared to alternative pub chain restaurants

We all really enjoyed our meals, Lauren and Abbey amazing service and carvery, thank you

Good place for tea with kids play area

"Good experience overall. The staff was helpful, and the service met expectations. Worth a visit if you're in the area."

Too hot but always a lovely place to come and enjoy a meal with our family.

Claire was our Waitress for our party, she was absolutely lovely. The food was nice too, but claire really made our evening.. Thankyou

Lovely place lovely atmosphere. One of meals not quite right but was changed no problem . And Claire especially was very helpful and friendly.

We turned up late for breakfast with 2 hungry children. The breakfast section was due to close in just 5 minutes but claire made sure we all had ample enough food each and even brought out extra eggs for the kids who love eggs! Quick and friendly every time we visit. Thank you

I have visited the Dearne Valley Farm on a number of occasions and found it a lovely place to eat, however after my last visit I can't imagine going back anytime soon. I booked a table for 6.30pm on Saturday 16 November for 8 (only 7 dined). On arrival we were shown to our table, which was very cramped and nor prepared for dining.....no cutlery etc We ordered at the bar in 3 seperate transactions but using the same table number....one starter appeared, with the other starters coming to the table at least 10 minutes later, as part of the starters we had ordered the chicken sharer....this came with no dips, no soured cream on the nachos, only one corn on the cob and frankly overcooked, spoke to the Colleague serving us, who had no clue, but another Colleague who I deemed to think was in a Supervisory role was close by who said they would get another corn on the cob and the dips, as if she was doing us a favour. At this point I also had to ask for cutlery and napkins as none had been previously brought out. Starters finished myself and another guest went to the carvery, as always this was a great choice, when getting back to our table I saw 3 of the main courses going back to the kitchen, all of them stone cold, after about 10 minutes they were brought back out warmer but not perfect. I realise that this was a Saturday and the Staff had obviously had a busy shift prior to us arriving but really this was a shambles and an experience worth forgetting, I felt especially embarrassed as I was the one who chose to come, next time we all get together we will stay in and order a takeaway but not from here The one star is only there because I needed to chose an option so that I could post

Came for my son's 10th birthday 🎂 It was a lovely fun atmosphere and the food was beautiful as usual. We all had to take our cake home though as it's too big to do in one sitting. Staff were all very happy, friendly, helpful and professional.

First visit since it opened years ago which was awful. How things have changed. Lovely staff, great food especially the carvery and nice ambience. Going back soon for a cake.

Great variety at the carvery. Portions were fresh n no queueing at dinner time. . Enjoyed it first visit, so went again week later.

Our server, Claire, was very pleasant and informative of up coming cake promotions for Christmas.

Always 5 star service and food - all staff made a fuss of my daughter who loves to wave at people and say hello (she’s 9 month old) so little things like this make it memorable. Thankyou guys as always

I’ve been today and had a carvery met Claire absolutely lovely lady highly recommend will definitely return to dern valley farm

Out for a family meal and it was perfect. Food was lovely, nice and quiet and beautifully trimmed up ready for Xmas. Our server Claire was really helpful and couldn't do enough for us.

Seated early which was good ordered Carvery Yorkshire puddings cold beef not cooked turkey watery all rest bland when brought it to attention of staff we were told beef had been cooked for 14 hours and tested at 69 degrees so was cooked and it was our individual taste what happened to customer is always right the beef you couldn’t cut with a knife and we were told no gammon because it wasn’t cooked we will not be returning

We went here for a quick non-alcoholic drink and a pit stop. Good prices and a really nice traditional pub. We didn't have time for food as we had a long day ahead, but the carvery looked really good.

Always come here all the time , carvery always lovely , staff always great , including claire and millie .

Food is always lovely and staff are welcoming

Came in with a group of 8 - all had lovely meals. Carvery was very tasty and will certainly visit again

Great service carvery always lovely . Claire is amazing always very friendly and welcoming . Love the cakes

Lovely carvery for me and my partner and 2 kids all staff friendly and Claire was very chatty and welcoming and took our plates away can't fault it

The food was nice but not hot enough

Certainly not as good as it use to be No curry No Southern Fried Chicker Skewers No Brownies - but could order Brownies off childrens menu.. 3 people didn't get to eat what they wanted and weren't overly impressed with their substitute. Our child (16) has Autism. Thank goodness you had plain chicken Skewers in, otherwise we'd have had the carvery and I would have had to nip over to KFC for our Daughter to eat the KFC takeaway at our table. Menu not so great anymore either.

Today I’ve been to Dearne Valley Farm to attend a wake. The organisation provided a private area, set up the photos and personal touches and arranged tables and chairs in social groups. They had hot drinks ready on arrival and delicious hot sandwiches with salad and chips for all. It was a really lovely comfortable place to be, the staff kept things moving and looked after everything. Well done

Thankyou for giving my husband the send off I wished to give him thankyou to Jason norris for the added extra (prawn cocktail) thankyou it was phils special dish thankyou to the kitchen for the buffet and to the restaurant staff for the care they gave

Great carvery. Staff very helpful and pleasant.

Lovely staff, helpful. Food good. Bar staff helpful.

The food is good, but a piece of good advice... book a table if it's Sunday

Carvery was lovely and my little girl loves the brownies 😋. The staff were very warm and friendly especially Dale and Britney

We came a couple of weeks ago for a family meal It was a great night and our waitress Claire was the icing on the cake.. Thankyou

Excellent food at very reasonable prices, comfortable, clean, nice atmosphere friendly helpful staff. Just perfect

Went at a quieter time Food very nice Atmosphere quiet calm Lovely service from Lauren very helpful Had the carvery salad very nice

Nice breakfast could do with been a bit hotter

Great service brought family who e were looked after by Amelia e visiting and we all had carvery great food and experience thank you w

Carvery was good but Yorkshire puddings we're a bit under done but good meal out other then that

Staff very friendly and helpful. Food was gorgeous and plenty of choice. Highly recommend

Great place for carvery. Staff is amazing will be back soon

Robert was very pleasant and attentive,the offer of extra gravy brought to table was a good idea .the carving man gave just the right amount of meat . A very enjoyable Sunday carvery 😋

Beef and ale pie was excellent, chips could have been a little warmer. Beef lasagne was mostly beef with very little in the way of lasagne sheets. For a Sunday afternoon the service was very quick.

Ordered the Fish Supper and it was delightful. Far too big though unless you used to eating fish the size of a small whale. Highly recommended, Staff were the dogs bollocks, friendly and attentive, will visit again when back in the area visiting family. Though I won’t eat for a couple of days before heading there for dinner. 🐳 🍟 and will wear some lose waisted trousers for expansion.

Most of the food was luke warm at best

Fantastic, Claire met us and showed us to a quiet table as requested, she was very polite and couldn't do enough to help! She explained everything and showed us where everything was. Food was great will definitely be coming again!

A staff member ( Claire ) lovely lady couldn't do enough to help so polite two deserves to be recognised

Extremely friendly staff and lovely food.

As always breakfast was lovely defiantly value for money

Miles better than Toby carvery, food was edible unlike Toby and it was cheaper.

Lovely atmosphere with friendly team on every visit! Thank you!

Been today for breakfast didn't see Claire is she still working as its great banter we have with her love her she's so nice

Good grub and a great place to eat! Claire and the rest of the team were very attentive. Was easy to order food and make adjustments to our meals so we could have them just how we like 👍

Really nice meal and staff - Claire especially!

Came here after we had buried my dads ashes. They say first impressions count. From walking through the door to is leaving, they couldn't do enough for you. Food and service was very good.

Claire our team leader was absolutely fabulous,top class service.Will definitely call again

Every thing was lovely,food was hot and nicely cooked,staff were friendly and helpful,it was clean and a very pleasant atmosphere

Lovely warm welcome. Went for 12. Deck was presented with hot hearty food. Staff was plesant and friendly. Top marks from me.

Lovely fresh food everyday amazing

Went in tonight for a carvery and few drinks, well what can I say apart from they have an outstanding set of staff. Met with a smile and welcomed by the bar staff. Went to collect my carvery the lady cutting the meat was very welcoming and gave a generous portion. The other lady topping the veg up welcomed us and very polite. Throughout the night a few staff came over, spoke and made you feel welcome. Couldn’t fault this place, the manager should be proud of all the staff working tonight. Thank you and will be back A*

Fab atmosphere and food. Super service from the bubbly Claire who could not do enough for us. Would highly recommend a visit 😁

Meat was lovely in the carvery as being gluten free u thought id be having a dry dinner,but the very kind server offered to make me gluten free gravey.exellent service ,clean and very nice staff

Went for a birthday meal for 12 , me and my mum had the carvery it was cold , when I asked for help to sort I found the manager with a thermometer checking food . I explained ours was cold she said well its warm here . This made me feel like I was telling lies so I insisted that she come to my table and check my food herself . After then realising I was telling the truth offered for me to go back where new food had been topped up . The food was very mediocre beef like tough leather roast potatoes cooked within an inch of their life. My husband and other people in party had food off menu which also was just adequate . This is a place I would never visit again. Only plus was the lovely lady behind bar and one of the waiting staff who helped me get my mums carvery for a second time

Went for Sunday roast and what I had was very nice I'm just a picky eater and the beef was too fatty and tough but I passed it to my partner .
