Mill of the Black Monks in Barnsley

Easter Sunday lunch to celebrate a 30th birthday in the family - the food and service were absolutely 'spot on' and the Yorkshire Puddings were to die for, both as a starter and also with our Sunday roast. The at table staff were so efficient and lovely. Booking is advised as it can get really busy! We have driven past the establishment literally hundreds of times and have never been before but this certainly won't be our last visit!

Came last night 30th March for a surprise meal for my wife’s Birthday. The food and service was fabulous, thank you. Nigel.

We have just returned from a family meal to celebrate our son Daniels 30th birthday. Everyone commented on how good their meal was, fresh, tasty, good portions at a reasonable price. Great service from the two waitresses who looked after us. Looking forward to our next visit.

We booked this in advance as we were spending the weekend near there from the menu there was no risotto no salmon no pies and only one duck bought drinks and ask for some table water was told they only did bottled water I had burger it wasn’t seasoned but nice enough duck was overcooked vegetables very hard roast potatoes burnt and chips were scraps although the prawns were very good my daughter had the starter prawns made larger as there was nothing left that was vegetarian very poor food service good but we waited nearly an hour for food didn’t complain just put it down to a bad experience but certainly would not recommend.

This was our first visit and certainly will not be the last, I’ve already got the calendar out to see when I can come back for a steak! I’m from Wath but have lived in Wakefield for over 30 years and have driven past this place what must be several hundred times, but we’ve never been in. Booked it for Mother’su Day dinner and it really didn’t disappoint! It’s a fabulous historic venue to begin with, but the welcome from the team, being seated quickly and fantastic service throughout just shows what a super-professional setup this is. We had a variety of fantastic starters (my halloumi parcels were amazing and 4 of our party thought the garlic mushrooms were ace) and the dinners were fantastic - lots of variety, several vegetables, amazingly succulent meat choices and to quote my dad and son “2 fantastic buckets of gravy!” (They are gravy boats obviously, but big ones!!) Only a couple of people could manage dessert but apparently the crumble and custard was excellent. Fantastic service, great food, real value for money too - can’t wait to come back, thanks everyone.

Visited for the first time today for Mother’s Day with my mum/dad and my children after seeing posts on facebook Let me tell you this place did not disappoint The Sunday lunch was devine The service impeccable The waitress Isabella was lovely and told us it’s her dad who is the chef !!!! Not only did she tell him what we said he came to our table to say thank you We also had dessert and the Eton mess cheesecake was simply delicious This place is 16 miles from home but I would travel 61 miles the food is that good See you again soon

Visited today for the Sunday dinner. A birthday treat. Really enjoyed it. The food was beautiful. Sunday dinners all round. Everything was really good. Really enjoyed the gammon. All of the staff are a credit to the owners, they couldn't do enough. Table for 8 and everyone left very happy. Sticky toffee pudding is a winner. Just to add- probably one of the best pints of guinness I've ever had. Thanks for a great afternoon 😀

Fabulous meal! Went for Valentines night and had the Winter Menu - we came from Wakefield as we had heard such good things, everything was gorgeous. A beautiful historical venue with a real cosiness and charm! Chloe our waitress couldn't do enough for us and was very attentive all evening. I had the chicken supreme which should have come with Dauphinoise potatoes but it came with roast potatoes instead ( nobody made me aware that they had run out or had changed them) but they were equally as nice so didn't really bother me! I would highly recommend visiting - My partner talked about the beef wellington and monks beer all the way home! We will be returning as we loved it so much, thank you!

Wow this place is just amazing . We have visited here a lot lol . My boyfriend always orders the stake said he’s never had anything like it in his life . I’ve had duck . Stake pie . Burger. But upto now my favourite has to be the lamb shank 😀 falls off the bone and melts in your mouth amazing . Will see you at valentines yum yum

Had a beautiful Sunday lunch, meat was so tender , cannot fault anything , staff so lovely, felt I had been took back in time , so much history ,

Amazing food, superb staff, loved every bite of food. Me and my family would come back again. Who ever makes the beef wellington, know what they are doing. As for dessert, absolutely stunning.

Great food, service and atmosphere. Me and my husband had a great meal and enjoyed a 3 course meal. Price reasonable and plenty of parking.

Well where do I start, the food was lovely the waitresses couldn't do enough for you , but I was disgusted in how management I believe she's called Julie spoke to her staff. Publicly humiliating them at any given chance ! Me and my friends won't be returning again due to this behaviour.

This is the second time I have eaten at The Mill of the Black Monks this year. Firstly I had a business meal. The roast dinners we ordered were exceptional. What a fabulous venue to have a meeting! Because I enjoyed it so much, I brought my family yesterday for a special treat and that it was. The children's portions were excellent, the steak pie and burgers were so good, really excellent quality meat. But the most important thing of all was the service. The same young lady served me in both visits. She was so personable, nothing was too much trouble. You cannot put a price on that… The bill on both occasions was very reasonable, we will be back. Thank you & Merry Christmas 🎅🏻

Excellent food and service Also what an amazing building Theonly downside is that there are a lot of stairs to get down to the toilet (I understand that's just a personal problem and it was worth it just to eat in such an amazing place)
