Dearne Valley Farm, Dining & Carvery in Barnsley

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 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 .

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

Didn't wait long for meal couldn't help enough very polite and friendly staff with me and my son really enjoyed our meal would recommend

Came for a carvey today with my husband was served by the lovely Alison 😊 very friendly and very welcoming. Definitely will be coming again 😊 Carvery was lovely

Good food, good selection of drinks, good helpful staff but alas we went their fir the big cakes and walked away without. They had a very small selection left and the kids were disappointed BUT normally they're beaut

Lovely food. All staff were friendly especially Lauren who checked in with us during and after the meal. The only negative was the restaurant was very warm I felt quite uncomfortable and didn’t want to stay for another drink

Decent food at a decent price, straightforward eating.

Lovely place always easy to get a carvery and nice to see it being kept fresh so often. Lauren was great checking on us and the ladies behind the bar were very friendly

The food here is always a bit... meh. Under seasoned, burned, a bit on the cold side. If you go for volume rather than quality then you might like it. EDIT: Just went back (against my better judgement). It was even worse, if you can believe it. Old chips and napkins piled up under the table, sticky tabletops. 4 members of barstaff continuing their chatting after glancing over at me waiting to be served, just the dregs of old food left, not being replaced with fresh. Burned roast veg, old food and gravy all over the ledge where you put your plate down (and a mardy face when asked if it could be cleaned), no mint sauce, cranberry sauce or apple sauce (just dried up mustard). The one thick gravy (onion) had run out, the other was the consistency of water. I watched a member of staff - actively look at my husband and his family, who were waiting to be served for deserts - go busy himself clearing tables. Took him 10 minutes for anyone else to notice them stood there and call back the original member of staff to serve them. They got my husbands ice cream flavour wrong, and his sisters cake was dry and boring. Terrible, terrible place. I know they have a place in the market for cheap and (not so) cheerful, but it's absolutely not for me. Is it so hard to keep the place clean and the staff be attentive? It wasn't even busy! I can't reiterate how bad this place is and won't ever be lured in again.

Food although took forever to come was very hot and lovely and service by staff especially Claire was excellent

Worst Sunday lunch we’ve ever had. People serving food without gloves or hair nets, very poor hygiene standards. All food just covered in grease and oil

Our meal today was absolutely perfect. The staff were all very helpful and Claire who looked after us was fab. Alison who wasn’t here today was also a great lady to deal with. We come regularly and have always enjoyed it. Clean and atmosphere nice. Just what you want for a nice meal out, cakes are to die for . Thankyou so much for an enjoyable meal. Mx

Had a lovely meal with a couple of drinks , the food is excellent and the staff are very friendly, especially Claire our waitress. I would highly recommend the Dearne Valley Farm for a lovely evening out.

Had a lovely meal tonight. Claire was a very friendly waitress and saw to all our needs. Will definitely come again

Had a party of 18 but underbooked by mistake, claire dealt with us and was absolutely lovely got us seated and was extremely polite and helpful - the young lass at the bar (didnt get her name) was fantastic helping us sort our orders and cake honestly all round fantastic service and some very lovely employees

It was rubbish last year thought it might have got better but definitely not.

Over and beyond customer service from Claire

Food was delicious. We had the carvery. Lots of choices of veg and all had a good flavour. Staff are friendly and very nice.

Food good Service good Lauren was pleasant and was very helpful.

Had a carvery which was fantastic. Claire served us at the till and was very friendly and professional. The pub has a pleasant atmosphere, kids area is good to keep the little ones occupied. Pub is well maintained and clean

Great breakfast friendly staff, especially Claire very pleasant and polite member of staff Will definitely return

Just had breakfast lovely relax atmosphere Claire who served use was really lovely. We will def return x

I eat at many Farmhouse Inns as they are so reliable, and Dearn Valley Farm was no exception. I wanted a light lunch so I had a couple of small plates which were delicious. Claire made sure I was comfortable and we had a lovely chat which was great as I was on my own, so thank you Dearne Valley Farm.

Absolutely amazing food, great service, definitely coming back up here the next time I come on holiday to Barnsley

Haven't had a carvery in years but I tell you what I'll be coming here again. I eat too much really. Far too much it made me feel sick, but not cos the food was bad because it was good too good. So if you're in the area get yourself down here.

Ordered the carvery salad, came without the salad dressing and roasted peppers as was described on the menu and had to ask the server for them. The salad was poor made up with small bits of lettuce and supermarket salad tasteless tomatoes. Coleslaw was a similar quality. When the roasted peppers arrived they weren't roasted but chunks of pepper pan fried. 2 decent slices of meat boosted the score from 1 t0 2 stars

Always a great experience with lovely food!

Very good carvery, but be sure to leave space for some cake xx

Lovely food, person who served us, looked like manager, had a little bit of a clever attitude but other staff were pleasant. Nice pub and atmosphere

Very good food helpful staff good value for money would definitely recommend a visit had another wonderful meal staff helpful as ever best carvery in Barnsley

Clare looked after us today she was lovely

Claire who served us was extremely helpful especially to my friend's wife who was having a choking fit.

Tuesday lunchtime so not overly busy, but really nice atmosphere, can't fault the staff. Claire went over and above to make sure we were looked after. Nice carvery

Called with my husband for a breakfast. No issues, enjoyed.

Very polite and welcoming, food was great and service was better by Lauren

Lovely food and atmosphere staff well mannered and helpful too enjoyed it Thank-you

Great food, lovely people serving.

Carvery is delicious and the portions of meat you get are huge, and the all you can eat breakfast is delicious 😋

Fabulous. The staff were very helpful, the place was very clean and the food was amazing. Thank you

Been today with my mother and food was absolutely beautiful and the customer service from Lauren was top notch will definitely be returning 👌

Lovely food with great customer service

Lovely carvery never disappoint

Myself,my mum and children all came for lunch, we all enjoyed our meal and all the staff on shift was so friendly,nothing was any trouble and we was looked after

Family members' birthday meals. food was okay, the cauliflower cheese was rock hard ! The restaurant needs some tlc as there were a few booths with ripped seats ! Which were unsightly. It was extremely busy and people were queuing all the way down the restaurant for carvery. Which made it hard to get to the counter to buy drinks or pay for the bill, we wouldn't rush to return.

Very impressed. All ideal and price low.

We took Mum for her 86th Birthday and we had a lovely time . We had reserved a table . Our table was ready and waiting for us . Service was prompt and efficient and very friendly . And the food served was excellent. Two of us had carvery which was also delicious. Shout out to Emma and Amy for looking after us . Mum really enjoyed her Birthday treat Thankyou .

Was lovely today at Dearne. Went for mums birthday and the staff were brilliant. Specially Amy. 😍

1st time visit, enjoyed the food but more cheese sauce needed on the 'Hunters Burger '

Lovely visit here today. Gorgeous good and lovely staff. Thank you so much!

It's a good job food is nice cos customer service is shocking. 4 staff stood talking behind bar when there is a queue. Had already had our meals and went back for cake. Walked out without.

Sam our server was very helpful and made sure we was alright. And if we needed anything to not hesitate to ask him. The food was great too.

I came for lunch and Laura,alison and amy were amazing thankyou for your service was very pleased thankyou

The food was really nice and the service was to a high standard , all the staff was really nice and welcoming

Not been here for a while but it was absolutely beautiful today. Good service, good food and lovely company.

Veg was hard and cold. Would not go back.

Friendly and welcoming atmosphere and lovely food 😊

Beautiful carvery. Very welcoming many thanks to Lauren and Claire

Really good breakfast loads of choice staff are friendly, slightly slow at clearing tables but food is 10/10

Awesome breakfast x lovely place, very friendly xxx

While the food is great, the cleanliness is below acceptable standards. Dust is most prevalent on the shelving, wall pictures and light fittings. The seating upholstery in several of the booths is really bad, and the tables are not only sticky but in need of refurbishing . Dissapointing that the standards have slipped from what it was a year ago!

Great food and attentive service :) thank you to the lovely staff for taking care of us!

Great date night great food great staff

Ordered 2 steaks, beth sirloin got 1 sirloin 1 rump. Rump nice, sirloin tough as old boots! Only Claire makes it worth visiting, if she left I would not return.

Me and my partner visited Dearne Valley Farm for dinner, i had the hunters chicken and she had the farmhouse chicken tikka masala. The food was fantastic and we were really impressed with the desserts. The staff were friendly and helpful.

We come here often and never disappointed. Rebecca was very welcoming and gave us some great holiday advice

A shame one of the 3 meals not of a good standard

Really polite staff superb food and the staff are really helpful we cannot fault them at all clair was really helpful and it was service with a smile

Arrived without booking even though it was busy the staff were helpful and accommodating- kind and friendly staff! Claire was amazing and really helpful 🤩 the carvery was great 🤩🤩

Great meal today. Really lovely and helpful service 😀

Delicious food and brilliant service, thankyou.

Lovely staff and food is spot on.

The carvery was excellent really enjoyed the beef Loads of different vegetables to choose from

Lovely place tasty food fantastic staff definitely we will come back again

Nice food, great staff, but some of the furnishings need updating

Amazing food and great service. Highly recommend

A party of six had sunday carvery here ,we booked a table and when we arrived it was a bit chaotic ,people were stood about waiting to be shown to tables but no-one to see to them.There was a large queue for the bar and only one serving for drinks and food together, it would be far better to have two separate queues for food and drink(clearly the place is very understaffed). The carvery was ok if you just wanted a plate of veg and potatoes but don't expect a decent amount of meat as we got two thin slivers which would've been enough for a child .All in all quite disappointing.

Staff are lovely but clearly run off their feet and short staffed. Tables not being cleared for upwards of an hour, not very pleasant to eat around tables full of others’ leftovers. Food is good for the price but burger was low quality meat. Toilets could also do with more regular cleans

Reasonably priced food & pleasant atmosphere

The worker Claire was absolutely amazing I made a mistake ordering the wrong order and she helped me change my order and sort everything out. She was absolutely spot on x

Lovely food, quick service, handy app and friendly staff

My young son named Guy loved the place.

It was a really busy evening and the team were unprepared, but Claire was amazing. So lovely and friendly and we didn't see her stop!

Only us in this morning family) had a cooked breakfast within an hour all sick I rang to speak to manager her response she wants proof wow never visiting again

Food and service is on top form staff are very friendly and welcoming both carvery and breakfast is cooked to perfection the main menu food is also good quality but do prefer the carvery

We paid weekend prices as it was bank holiday fair enough. Went to get food off carvery. I don't normally have meat as too much lol well that was a laugh. The meat given was so small I shouldn't have bothered and saved money. Veg was extinct we were told cauliflower cheese would be another ten minutes and no delivery of carrots apparently. We've had lots of meals here and the variety of veg has been amazing. Not this time. I know it's busier but it was obvious that's all there had been. I would like to thank the member of staff who bought cauliflower cheese to us although not the best. The staff are always lovely and work hard. Think men are better carving meat and always have a smile. It's really put me off

Had a lovely meal, served by excellent staff, not a lot in but atmosphere was nice.

Stand waiting to be served for 20 mins only for others to walk upto the bar to be served immediately despite staff clearly seeing us and a couple behind us waiting patiently in a queue. Walked out in the end

Was taken care of by Mia tonight, excellent service! Will definitely come back!

Food absolutely delicious, quality meat real mash, lovely veggies a lastly the Yorkshire pudding is beautiful. We came on a Sunday not booked but Claire managed to fit us in! Lovely staff very polite.

Foods not great, microwaved basically like a spoons. Ordered our food and within 5 minutes they were bringing it out, a bit worrying to me, didn't really have time to cook

Lovely meal.Always .Big shout out to Andreas and Jake .Always helpful.Thankyou Has really changed.Food all overcooked.So sad use to be so good.

Absolutely loved it. Highly recommend.👍

Lovely carvery again, not stingy with the meat and all the veg was well presented and fresh. Young lady carving the meats was very pleasant and asked if meat and pudding was alright for us. Excuse the food displayed it was my fault cos I’m a greedy pig & pilled it high ;-) Only gripe was, there wasn’t enough sauce on the cauliflower cheese :-( Rachel also came around asking if everything was OK which it was…

Nice relaxed atmosphere, friendly staff and good quality food. Excellent value! Much better than any Whetherspoons in my opinion.

Nice food, prompt service, friendly staff, nice beer. All at a reasonable price. Bonus as they also do blue light discount so affordable mid week choice

Absolutely fantastic food and service even better with 15% off with my defence discount card ( blue light) would highly recommend this venue for any occasion

To say this is a large chain the staff were very busy.bit friendly polite and keen to help Food was really good fresh and the meats were moist and appealing The pudding was amazing I reckon I had was half an apple pie My grandchildren ate their food and pinched some carvery so you’ve got two new starters there Well done and great to see polite and pleasant staff who seemed to enjoy interacting with their customers

Very pleased with the food and the service especially Claire who was extremely friendly and helpful to us
