Dearne Valley Farm, Dining & Carvery in Barnsley

Good food but could have been a bit hotter. Great tasting though.

Great food, very reasonable price as well.

I respect it’s a pub, but it’s rough. The value on the carvery and the amount of protein you get is really bad: 1 thin slither for a small plate, 2 thin slithers for a medium, and 3 thin slithers for a ‘large’ - you’d get more value opening a pack of supermarket sandwich meat slices. I raised this with management during my visit, and although they were polite, they informed me that that is brand standard for protein portions. Hopefully the management took away my feedback at the time, and take my feedback away from this review.

Great carvery and service from Rachel was superb

Always a good meal highly recommended

Amazing food Lauren was lovely would recommend again if you want a Sunday roast for cheaper and quicker than cooking one

The waitress Britney and Alison was really nice and Made us feel very welcome

Nice food and service, by Alison. My mum had a carvery and said the beef melts in your mouth

Lovely family pub, staff very friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend a visit.

Lauren was our server everything was excellent

Loads of parking, staff friendly and polite. Food portions for Carvery are great but the burgers aren't as big as you think.... I ordered the Combo Stack Burger and doubled up and the staff said (ARE YOU SURE) it came and was as I thought not as big as made out hense why I ordered extra sides. But food was delicious.

Booked for mothers day paid a deposit. Ordered drinks and came wrong. Ordered food for a party of 8. Half of food came out then a 15 min wait then rest came out. One order wrong again. Waited another 10 mins order still came out wrong. Asked for a refund spoilt the day

Brilliant breakfast and service by niomi

After frequenting this carvery for over 2 years tonight we have reluctantly decided not to eat here again. The quality of food has slowly but surely disintegrated and tonight was the final straw. We had difficulty in actually cutting the broccoli and also the cauliflower cheese. The beef was fatty ( an average chef would make sure this does not happen ) and the carvery service was so matter of fact that we felt we were inconveniencing him . Two years ago the food and service was terrific but alas this is no longer the case which is such a shame. Alan and Max

Called in two weeks ago for 2 Small carveries. The young woman serving gave the smallest amount of meat I've ever seen here. Luckily there was enough veg to make it a meal. If she is serving next time I will not be having a carvery. The meat was scraps not worth the money, very disappointed.

Great personal attention from the staff making you comfortable without intruding on the meal. For example, noticing that the sun was in my eyes and closing the blind.

We are moving to the area and were looking forward to trying this restaurant for a family celebration — a birthday combined with an early Mother’s Day gathering. There were 23 of us in total, and unfortunately, our experience was disappointing. Despite placing our order at the same time as the rest of our group, we were left waiting significantly longer for our food. While everyone else had received and finished their meals, we were still waiting for our child’s starter and our mains. We had to chase the staff multiple times, yet even when our meals finally arrived, our little one’s food was still missing. By the time it was eventually brought out, the rest of the group had moved on to cake, and our 3-year-old no longer wanted to eat. We had to take it to go, which was far from ideal. When our meals did arrive, they were underwhelming. The steak portion was disappointingly small, and the lasagne was pale and chewy rather than soft and golden as expected. After we got home, we also realized that the final bill didn’t add up. There was an unexplained £10 discrepancy, and since we hadn’t been given an itemized receipt, we couldn’t check whether there had been an error or if the prices had increased without being updated on the menu. Alternatively, if it is due to drink prices, they seem excessive. The only real positive was the designated play area for children, which helped pass the time during the long wait. However, given the service delays, the food quality, and the unclear pricing, we left feeling disappointed and unlikely to return.

Sunday carvery poor. Perhaps an off day. Other family members enjoyed their choices. Staff polite and helpful. Good parking.

Yorkshire puddings were really hard .. but the service was great , a waitress called Rachel was very pleasant n helpful .. she's a credit to the pub .

Naomi was fabulous food was amazing can’t wait to come back soon

Relaxing meal Lovely burgers Lovely staff couldn't do enough for us

As usual we had a beautiful meal in good surroundings. The waiting on staff couldn't do enough for us. Naomi in particular approached us with a lovely smile to enquire if our food was good and if we we needed anything else. We have tried other places locally but always come back here.

Good service,carvery was good,apart from yorkshire puds which were quite hard to cut and chew other wise all good.

Took mother love for Friday lunch, she hand carvery and loved it, I had fish and chips 👍

Fabrastic service by Lauren food good thank you

Called for a full English food was very nice all thanks to sas Good quality food value for money Lovely friendly staff Definatly call again

Served by Lauren great experience

Excellent carvery and waitress was very positive and gave great service

Lovely dinner today service from Naomi was excellent will be back very soon !

Nice place, relatively inexpensive, good place for a carvery, pick your times as it is quite often really busy, would definitely recommend for a decent easy meal out

Excellent pub, good was amazing. Would definitely visit again.

Lauren was very friendly and helpful. Been before and enjoyed it.

Had a lovely meal. Clare our was our waitress and could not enough for us. The food and the people sat next to us were very friendly.

Lovely staff, very helpful and friendly, food is hot and tasty. Claire in particular is lovely and made our experience even better with 2 small children in tow.

Food excellent service great Claire was most helpful

Was my first time coming, the staff was very welcoming and so helpful, I would recommend coming here to anyone

Polite and friendly, always make you feel welcome thank you claire for your service today .

Great pub with a carvery. Staff very friendly and helpful. Carvery lovely.

Good service, at the right pace. Pleasant welcoming staff and lovely food.

Went for the buffet breakfast. Good selection on the buffet. Claire was very helpful and gave great service. Thank you!

Part of the Greene King chain. We just had mains (very good portions)and then cake to go. Several vegetarian options, would call again when next in the area.

Came in today for a celebratory 'I've lost weight' all you can eat breakfast 🤣🤣 and the staff there Emma and Lauren were wonderful, they were both very cheerful. Emma served us at the bar and was more than helpful explaining the bottomless breakfast and tea/coffee and was very patient with my indecisiveness. Lauren was our server/floor staff and completed anything that I asked for quickly, professionally and without a fuss. She cleared our plates away promptly and helped in anyway that she could. The food was brilliant as usual and we noticed a few new extras sneaking in. Thankyou and I shall be back again soon 😊 Previous 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.

For the price the food is nice enough, staff friendly and helpful!!

Came again for breakfast with a few changes we noticed since our last visit, they now have bread and a toaster to do your own which I think is a lot better, now have Yorkshire puddings on the breakfast buffet, not my thing but it’s something extra. Again and like every visit here we can’t complain great food great service always made to feel welcome. Our server Lauren was polite, professional and happy to help with anything we wanted. We will be back again real soon and continue to recommend to family and friends.

Was very good service was served by Lauren who was very friendly, polite and helpful .she went out of here way to help

Lovely food and brilliant staff

We had breakfast at Farmhouse today, and it was absolutely delicious. The atmosphere was wonderful, and Naomi made us feel especially welcome.✨

We have just started coming here and the service is really good. All staff are great, very friendly, especially Lauren. She made us feel very welcome, and remembered us the next time we came! We will be coming back.

Ordered a meal for takeaway. The email confirmation says look for the signs of where to go. Arrived and couldn't see any signage. Had to wait at the bar a good 5 mins or so for my turn. I then got a reasonably snotty response that it's at the other end of the bar. Once I could see where she was directing me too this was clear but the signage that this is where they wanted you to go to was only above that till and, that was only really visible of you came in the side door. I arrived pretty much bang on time for my collection slot, but after waiting a while at the bar I was them clearly quite a while after. I then had to wait another good 5+ minutes as none of the order had actually been put together. Food once id got it was fine. Did feel a little skimpy on the meat but not seemed to be one orderable size so this may just the the "standard" portion maybe.

Raw chicken wings, I told a server & she just laughed & I mean how do you mess up a burger too ,it was like one of those £1 microwave burgers, never again, luckily McDonald next door so I didn’t go hungry

service is absolutely shocking, we came in to a nice welcome sign telling us to wait to be seated, only for staff to come and tell us it's only for weekends. we looked around for a table just for there to be none that weren't reserved and had to wait for someone to be finished, we sat down and the chairs were filthy and covered in chewing gum and food, we ordered a chicken starter for 2 and the chicken was cold, uncooked, and clearly microwaved and old, we got nachos with this starter which came with "garlic mayo" but was just normal mayo and also no salsa at all which was meant to come with the nachos. when our food arrived we got a burger that's ment to have bacon on it, we got half a slice that was burnt, also hunters chicken, the chicken was dry, chips bland, salads soggy from the dressing i asked not to be put on, garlic bread was soggy and strong enough my breath would stink for 2 years, cheese on the burger looked like they forgot to take plastic off it. thank god there's a mcdonald's next door! never coming back, thank god! just shut it for gods sake

Nice lunch great service from Diane and Colin

Clair was really nice and helpful

Food was excellent, staff were amazing and a big thankyou to Claire for all of your help, and for taking pictures for us.

Robert was absolutely wonderful, made the atmosphere very welcoming which such a warm welcoming smile

Food was nice and at a decent price for the portion size. Claire, the waitress was absolutely lovely.

Good but asked for blue steak but was told rare was the lowest they could cook. But chef cooked as close to as he could

Food was nice and the waitress Claire was very nice, chatty and made us feel welcome.

Friendly staff, food good value

Lovely place to eat and really nice carvery, Lauren was friendly and polite and made sure we had everything we needed

Great place and one of best carveries have had. Staff very attentive especially Lauren who served me today.

Very good staff. All seem happy. Thank you Lauren. Come here often

Really good as always. Lauren was our server and was polite and really helpful.

Lovely staff, food and price. Lauren our server was really friendly and provided great service. Can't beat a roast mid week 😋

This was an easy place to order food via the app and food was definitely microwaved as the hunters chicken was over burnt in the microwave as it had dried up edges the atmosphere was quite loud I chose an adult area as I thought it would be slightly quieter wish I chose to eat in the family area not sure we will be returning as it’s not the place it’s meant to be

Visit quite often. Good food, good value and very pleasant staff.

Food was lovely but could have been a bit hotter

Lovely pub to come and chill in with a book during quieter hours, never made to feel out of place when going solo. The staff are positive and pleasant as well - on my latest visit, I was served by Claire who was really helpful with some questions. Will be back!

No yorkshire pudding, still charged same price, no alternative offered like pigs in blankets!! Roast potatoes burnt,Solid..., same as stuffing and parsnips,meat cut that thin couldn't taste it, wouldn't come again or recommend.....

Service was good but carvery was cold and fish and chips mushy peas and hunters chicken meal came out cold we expected it with being freshly cooked it would come out warm but it was aired and was same on Saturday these two times are the worst time we have had normal comes on a Monday for dinner every week we coming next Monday 3rd March hope it's better than today and we have pudding and come out aired not good today this is the worst meal we have had today and Saturday

Came with family for tea, great service and Claire was very helpful with us as we have 2 little ones with us who are fussy eaters and she helped with advice on food etc, came to check with us if we’d sorted our food etc. very welcoming and hardworking lady and I’m sure an invaluable member of staff.

Brilliant experience, waitress called claire who was lovely and did every above and beyond to make sure we had a good night. Would deffo recommend.

The service recieved from Claire was exceptional. The food was spot on,steak was cooked to perfection 👌 Claire ensured our visit was more than pleasant,checking in when she could to make sure everything was okay. Went above and beyond to allow for my fathers extreme requests yet remained calm and took his xxxx like a champ. She deserves a raise just for listening to him. Would 100% recommend. Will be back. Emma will pay mext time and give claire the tip that she deserves, 100% more than he gave her

Another lovely carvery as always had our tables reserved by the lovely Lauren who works there is very friendly and remembers us every week.

Went into Dearne Bally for for a business meeting was treated by a lovely lady called Claire she was so pleasant and helpful made our experience so much more enjoyable she even kept on coming over to make sure we had everything we needed So nice to have such wonderful people like that she is a credit to the company and will only return because of Claire

Food was lovely. Thanks to Lauren for great Service

Great food and great experience. Thank you to Lauren for looking after us. We will definitely return and we are looking forward to it.

Absolutely lovely service and interaction from Claire especially

Great experience, lovely staff, Lauren, Claire and Dayle were very accommodating for me and my child, Lovely carvery as always! X

Millie was very helpful when we asked about food ect .she kept the area clean and tidy .carvery was very nice . Lovely peaceful atmosphere .would definitely return .

Came with the kids for lunch, didn't realise kids ate free and also got free ice cream, what a bonus. Food was really nice, all fresh and hot. Service was really good, thanks to Dale and Lauren who served us, the bar staff were equally as great.

Great selection of food & the ordering app makes ordering so easy

Good food well stocked counter for carvery. Main menu food was good also. Very reasonable prices.

Brilliant service by Claire! Breakfast was delicious!

This breakfast in this place has definitely improved - thankfully!! The food was hot and topped up regularly and they can actually cook eggs! Choice of eggs, which is a revelation and the addition of the toaster has just tipped it to 5 stars. The staff - particularly Claire - could not have been more on it! Friendly, chatty, helpful and we didn’t have to sit staring at our dirty plates while we finished our drinks. This is now our Sunday breakfast place!

Friendly and very accommodating

Gorgeous food,nice polite staff,clean pub,lovely atmosphere,really nice to come to with family and friends,nice to come any day through the week

Great carvery and nice pub with plenty of tables. Staff always nice and welcoming. Yorkshire wraps disappointing, very little filling and cool toasties, not worth the money

Claire was outstanding great service and nice food

Lovely place to eat buffet breakfast and the Sunday dinners with lovely and kind members of staff (especially Claire) highly recommend.

Drinks 40 mins late, mash lumpy, pastry soggy. Used to rate this place as a decent cheap place to eat you knew what you was getting i know it's no Michelin star, but it's dropped loads in standards won't be coming again.

Food ok, a little too much meat. Lauren was pleasant and friendly

Carvery was really good today and excellence service from lauren very kind and caring and has the time to make sure everyone is happy..service with a smile
