Dog and Partridge Inn in Barnsley

We booked this meal weeks in advance in the restaurant on arrival we were told it was closed on that day so we were out in the bar Why were we not told ? I travelled for two hours to sit on an uncomfortable seat squashed around a small table for five The pork fillet was dreadful dry veg absolutely bland no salt no greens carrots in water obviously microwaved uneatable Sweet was good which was fortunate as I hadn’t eaten the main course Other members had the pie mash which had no seasoning either very bland Coffee no machine only cafetière No paper in the loo Not a happy customer

WOW, what a fantastic place to have a 2 day break. Staff were so polite, professional and always very helpful. Food was amazing, accomodation was first class. Thank you for looking after us, felt like family 👍 Looking forward to our next visit x Nigel and Michelle 😜

Loved it. Food perfect. will be calling again very soon. polite staff too. sundsy lunch out of this world. Mussel starter, lovely

Lovely friendly atmosphere. Good drinks and great food. Mixed grill was very nice and beef stroganoff enjoyed. The home made deserts were a dream. Would recommend a d would deffo say the trip is worth making.

Absolutely disgused by the way I was spoken to by the nasty old woman serving our food today. I can only assume that she is one of the owners as there's no way her behaviour towards a customer would have been tolerated otherwise. I ordered the 'homemade' pizza from the specials menu. I took a bite and instantly realised something tasted off, either the meat or the cheese. My partner tasted it and agreed. When the woman came to take our plates, she asked what was wrong with it. I explained it didn't taste right but wasn't sure whether it was the meat or the cheese. She proceeded to loudly question which it was while waving her arms around. I replied I didn't know as I'd just said, and that I didn't appreciate the way she was speaking to me. She then stormed off, still shouting, and suggested we leave. Absolutely gob smacked. New chef and some customer service training required here!

We spent one night in this pub and really enjoyed it. The room has its quirks, like the hot water takes a while to come out, but overall we were happy with it and had a great night sleep. We also had a meal at the pub and it was very good, the staff worked very hard and were very friendly.

We booked 3 rooms for a family get together. The rooms, food and drink are all great and the staff were amazingly attentive. The location is fantastic and we will definitely be back

Called in fir lunch as we were passing & read the good reviews Not disappointed, Excellent friendly staff -( even dog friendly!) Food great, I had chicken liver pate & fish & chips Hubby had soup & gammon Wish the chips were home made not frozen chips - but still nice Wine good too! All hot & tasty Will definitely be returning

We have just stayed here for 3 nights, having travelled from East Sussex to visit friends and also do the Emmerdale Tour😊 We had a lovely room, one of the designated rooms where dogs are welcomed 🐾 The entire place was spotlessly clean. The owners are friendly and welcoming. The Breakfasts absolutely superb! The Dog and Partridge was a real delight, and wouldn't hesitate in staying again!.🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

The most accommodating place I’ve ever visited, the food was excellent and they changed our reservation twice as we were delay at the airport. We cannot recommend this restaurant enough. Thank you!

We lovedour stay. The food was tasty and a choice of beer is good. The place has a local and friendly atmosphere and there was some live singing and music which we really enjoyed. The room was spacious and had everything you need. This was our 3rd overnight stay and we'll definitely come back.

We stayed overnight at the Dog & Partridge. The room was warm and comfortable and the evening meal and breakfast absolutely gorgeous. The bar area is also warm, comfortable and cosy, and the owner and staff team helpful and friendly. Will definitely return here.

Great pub. We are a group of 8 friends who live in different parts of England who try and meet up every December. Our original Derbyshire pub was flooded so we had to find another location that suited us all. We are so pleased we found this pub. We stayed overnight and sampled the dinner which we all enjoyed and the breakfast was great too and nice that it was table service. Staff were pleasant and friendly . Can’t fault it and we will certainly return .

We stayed here last night 12/11/23 in the car park in our Motorhome which is free if you buy a meal in the pub ,excellent food and hospitality with friendly staff we will definitely call in again

Having driven passed literally hundreds of times as we travelled over Woodhead in the spring we decided to book B&B. This was our latest and third stay and I now write with confidence that the service and overall product on offer is excellent. The atmosphere created in this old Country Inn is warm and friendly, the food is great and the rooms are spotless and well presented.

We booked into the Dog and Partridge for a bite to eat on what turned out to be a beautiful day. We arrived earlier than our booking landing at 12:45pm, our booking wasn't until 3pm. I explained we were early but would take a walk and view the beautiful peaks around the pub. We still got back earlier than the booking but we were seated immediately. After looking at the menu and the variety of food on it, we both decided on a roast beef dinner. It came out within 5 minutes of ordering. The plates came out with a Yorkshire pudding and a generous amount of beef on it and accompanied with 2 serving platters with mash and roasties on one and buttered carrots and red cabbage on the other with a gravy boat of beautiful beef gravy. Afterwards we both had desserts and again wasn't disappointed. We'll done the team and yes we will be back to sample the rest.

We stayed in the car park as part of an agreement to have a meal in the restaurant. Well, what can I say, we will be back. The food was so good and service was prompt and cheerful. Will definitely call in again for food, with or without the van.

Stayed overnight with 4 other friends. Excellent food and service, very friendly staff. Overall an excellent experience, good value for money.

We stayed overnight at The Dog and Partridge Inn and just needed a snack before retiring. We enjoyed a delicious apple and all spice crumble with cream. Beautiful and a delightful taste experience.

Beautiful and very quaint hotel very friendly staff very helpful a good honest hotel to stop in well worth the stay and not to far to travel or walk

Really nice pub and friendly staff (for the most part). Food wasn’t up to much, unfortunately. Pie top (never good) with really thick pastry which could have been rolled out to make a proper pie. Nice portion of meat, but gravy was weak. Nice fish but too few chips for the price. Very poor sticky toffee pudding served with cold custard. Mentioned to the waiting staff but he didn’t acknowledge it.

Stopped for food, tables reserved - oddly no reserved signs just cutlery which would make you think it’s for those wanting food. Beer is a good hand pull. Menus has notes saying sold out and when ordering the goats cheese tart was told it was Brie? Mixed grill - Childs portion, egg was as hard as a cricket ball and steak desperately overcooked. Struggled to see the gammon. Risotto was ok but drizzled with way too much balsamic vinegar. They are advertising for a chef so hopefully that was the reason food was so poor and it was a one off.

Chose to visit place for lunch and was very disappointed with the quality of my food. My friend was also disappointed with his meal. After reading some of the good reviews, I may have chosen a day when the chef was on holiday. To keep it short - don't bother wasting your time and money. I certainly won't be returning, nor will my friend. if I could give a rating less than 1, I would.

We try to visit once a month and are never disappointed.. Our latest visit was no exception, with the usual excellent food and service. Ambiance and the feel is that of a remote country pub, which it is. The vegetarian wellington was amazing. If I could have only had a few more of the superb marmite boiled potatoes I’d have been even more impressed. Keep up the hard work Dog & Partridge.

Had lunch here , my husband had the Mushroom Wellington which was presented lovely and he said was very tasty. I had The Ploughman's, but in reality was two slices of ham ( which was delicious) a dairlea size piece of cheese and a side salad, the "crusty" bread was a part bake roll which had been over baked to the point where I couldn't get my knife through it, I was given another one after asking for one, but as it was a bake as you need roll I'd finished my meal by the time it came. Disappointed in my meal but hubby's was gorgeous

We decided to visit this pub after watching a programme on the Pennines. Took the family for Sunday lunch. After waiting for 45 minutes, our three roast beef meals, one fish and chips and one Ploughman’s finally arrived. Unfortunately, the food was not worth the...

Just how you would expect to find a real ancient coaching inn, warm and cosy, coal fire burning, a proper pint of beer! Clean and looked after throughout. A real gem and we will be returning!

A short break at a very warm and friendly environment for a starter and drink before making our way to the Wirral.

A lovely steak and ale pie that had so much succulent steak I couldn’t eat it all! Real meat gravy and a lovely ambience. Coming again for a family get together - 18 of us. Well worth the visit.

Third Visit - consistently good pub food at reasonable prices £10-£15 for a main and all good portions. Will call again again next time we fly from Manchester.

Arranged to meet a work colleague here at 13.00 hrs today. The front lounge area was serving meals so out of respect we sat in the back room as we had our computers out. Ordered two cups of coffee and within the hour: A chap...

Went with our daughter and granddaughters Perfect food to suit all tastes non alcoholic Beer was a hit

Found this a few weeks ago and have come back for more - Sunday lunch done to a T. Lovely warm ambience on a bleak day. Big jug of real gravy - now that’s a big plus for me, red cabbage in red wine and...

We ate here last night before staying at the hotel. Really nice setting and friendly and helpful staff. I had the garlic mushrooms which neither of us really liked. However I also had the vegan risotto which was amazing! Really delicious and I would love...

My wife and I stayed here in april. Having been shown our room we elected to upgrade, spending a further £30 on a “superior” room, which gave us a king sized bed. The overall experience was poor to the point that we left a review...

We called in on our way home from a family visit. Always looks very inviting and the place is set in wonderful countryside. Fantastic views, the type of place that you'd want to get snowed up in! The food was very good, we all had...

stopped for afternoon lunch, service was great and the food very good, but as to get to this pub you have to drive...it would make sense to sell non alcholic beer... but no, they dont sell it..not in a hurry to go back, couple of...

So having driven past this for years and thought how quaint it looked, today we decided to give it a try! Very disappointing. The atmosphere inside was ok, nice and cosy, the menu was nice and small indication fresh food. I ordered the salmon with...

I have passed this pub on many occasions and stopped twice for something to eat. Sunday lunch, in 2010, was especially welcome on a very cold February day when returning from Wales on the motorbike! The pub has log fires, which makes the interior very...

Passed this place many times over the years and always wondered what it was like. Should have kept on driving past. Looks really great on the outside, picture perfect moorland, though on a very fast road. But on the inside, my god. Looks like town...

The Dog and Partridge is in a great location on the Woodhead Pass and has stunning views for miles around. The beer battered haddock was a thick piece of beautifully cooked fish. The venison burger was meaty and tasty although I found the chutney slightly...

A good friend and I decided to meet halfway between manchester & Doncaster for lunch. This Pub looked nice, up on the moor! The great day dawned bright & sunny... I programmed my sat-nag... off I tootled... to a funny back lane telling me to...

Superb food in relaxing atmosphere in front of a lovely real log fire can recommend the real steak & ale pie

If there is a better country pub in the area, I haven't found it. The views alone are certainly worth the visit but there is much more to the Dog & Partridge than the scenery. The pub itself is very cosy with an open log...

I arranged to meet friends at the Dog and Partridge for lunch and a catch up. We arrived at 12 just as the pub was opening and were greeted by a lovely log fire and a friendly vibe. The man serving was helpful and took...

Booked as close to next days job and more snow forecast. Accommodation clean warm and comfortable. Food extremely good quality and value, the menu is a little short on choices but that’s my only minor gripe. Staff helpful and friendly. Recommended.

Just called in for a meal on the way to Manchester. What a beautiful pub! Roaring log fire and what a welcome from the staff and the locals. The food was perfect. We have found a real gem here and are looking forward to booking...

On our way to Manchester Airport and had a great meal last time so we thought we would try it again. Lovely welcome with a roaring fire, Limited menu but enough selection to cater for all tastes. Mains range from £9-£15 higher for steak obviously....

Exceptionally Good – All Round! Having booked our one-night's stay in a rush, we didn't know what to expect. But our first encounter with the staff was a very welcome phone call warning us in advance of an emergency road closure nearby. Nice customer service...

Pulled off the Woodhead Pass for a bite to eat and a drink and was not disappointed. The pub has a nice, cozy atmosphere - with a brighter and more spacious area to the back. The hamburger was delicious and obviously freshly made. Would also...

My wife had a prawn salad with minted potatoes and I had fish & chips. It was lovely and served by friendly and attentive staffstaff

Was really surprised at what we were given considering the price. Both of us were disappointed with both the starter and main meal. My starter was basically 2 slices of bread with cheese on top, no taste of garlic and was very bland. My main...

Stopped off at the D&P for some lunch & extremely impressed. For anyone who does the Woodhead commute between South Yorks & Manchester then its a well-known landmark...but....like me...how many just drive past ? After driving past for 6 years....finally we called in on a...

Ideal situation for a stop off while crossing the Woodhead Pass. Pleasant outside tables with amazing view of the Moors. Welcoming staff, prepared to adapt to suit a vegetarian Food good. Lost a mark because the only draught cider was Strongbow :-(

Great little place and lovely staff. The view off the back is exceptional. Great beer selection and interesting menu. We had the above and well worth the money. Chips were well done and the beef seasoned well. I will be back to try the rest...

We stopped for a Saturday lunch on the way back from shopping in Sheffield. The Dog & Partridge is a great country pub off the main Woodhead Road. Plenty of parking outside, inside a warm open fire, lots of room, friendly staff and a specials...

Great place. Pub in the middle of nowhere. Roaring fire, hearty simple food and lovely staff. Decent prices. Can't wait to go back.

Just a quick note - no dogs allowed - guess the pub sign is misleading! I’ve been in here many times before and had a decent pint, wanted to go in with a friend and his wife, they had a very small clean dog with...

Our WI had our Christmas meal here again this year. Andrea, Richard and team go out of their way to ensure everyone has a lovely meal in a warm friendly environment. Nothing is too much trouble for them - oh, and the food is gorgeous!

We were just passing through and were extremely pleasantly surprised with how good the food was. I will have to find a reason to make a trip through town again. Food was great and perfect for the festive holiday.

The menu was small, but the quality of food was excellent. There was a nice selection of wine. Choices were made and the food was served. Food was delivered in nice sized portions and tasted wonderful. The staff were very attentive, they didnt rush you...

Me and my wife came here for our evening meal to celebrate our wedding anniversary. It was very cosy with a warm fireplace in the bar. We ordered off the menu which was festive. We both had the turkey roulade with roasted vegetables and Yorkshire...

We visited at 20:00 on the 14/08/17. We had planned to visit for some time. The pub is steeped in history and dates back 500 years which adds to intrigue and authenticity being an olde world must visit ancient eatery. The setting is spectacular with...

For a country pub it was very nice. The food isn't the cheapest but is nice and the surroundings are lovely

I stopped here whilst passing through on my way home from a business meeting. The views from here are amazing (makes a nice change from central London for me). The food is fabulous and the staff are lovely and welcoming. There is a daily menu...

Great food, locally sourced , well cooked, very tasty. Some traditional some not so much. Really very good indeed.
