Story Teller in Rotherham

Came for lunch with the family & grandchildren recently & we had a fab afternoon. The food was good, the play area kept the kids entertained and the staff were pleasant and friendly. We’ve definitely arranged to return in the school holidays & hopefully the sun will shine so we can enjoy the beer garden.

Great place to catch up with loved ones, had a fantastic time food was excellent and Owen was a great host! We will definitely be back

Watched the England game, brill atmosphere, great drinks. Will definitely come back for the final 😊😊. Book me in now!

I have visited storyteller many times and this time by far was the worst experience i have had there. staff were all rude and unwelcoming. food was below par and when getting drinks from the bar i was sprayed with beer. won’t be returning.

This place gets worse,been coming for quite a few years and never known it so bad,only 3 weeks ago I ordered a lemonade for my grandson which was brought into wacky for us and put on our table he picked up the glass and took a drink before spitting it out(he’s only 2) it’s only when I had a taste I realised he had brought a gin and tonic to our table by mistake ,anyway the last week breakfast was cancelled due to food photoshoot so stayed in whacky wharhouse side till carvery was served and wish we had gone elsewhere, veg was rock hard and my daughter got 2 slices of the thinest cut gammon I have ever seen (medium sized carvery) I mentioned this to the carver who ignored me and continued to cut mine exactly the same during this the photo shoot was still being done(models had good sized meal potions though) this made us feel like we were in the way as we had to get past them to get to the bar and carvery station,I sent an email and got a reply saying sorrry it wasn’t upto our usual high standards ? I don’t think this place had very high standards to start with but it’s always been convenient having a two year old that can go in the play area however we will eat elsewhere from now on after the lack of concern from the carver and management when I tried to raise my issues regarding the food,

Absolutely beautiful carvery, myself and my boyfriend really enjoyed it, the staff are really nice and friendly, the place is immaculate and so welcoming 😊

Another fantastic visit to one of our fave places! Jason is very accommodating when ordering, helping one in our party who has an allergy! Thank you for another great visit!

Great place to eat, thanks for the great meal and service Emma! Would recommend this place, good location and good range of things to eat and drink

Honestly I’ve been coming here for years and never had an issue but the last 3 times we’ve come it’s got worse and worse but this time it topped it off when the carrots looked and tasted rotten and there roast potatoes were still frozen in middle me and my kids were quite disappointed tbh and I told someone about it and she just said oh okay al tell someone but just proceeded to carry on with wondering round

Lovely staff on all areas of the bar and floor, always made us feel welcome from the moment we walked in the door. We had a range of food from the main menu and carvery which all exceed our expectations with excellent taste and service, would recommend and come again.

The staff were friendly , lady behind carvery was excellent , genuine and friendly. The carvery was delicious. The ladies that served my sons meal were genuine and friendly with happy faces the dessert was scrumptious five stars all the way⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I went out on the 16th of February for my girlfriends birthday. The food was lovely I had carvery where as my girlfriend had the steak fondue the steak was a perfect medium rare and my carvery was amazing will return

came in for food and drinks with a few mates, great service, polite staff and looked after us. great food and quick service, highly recommend.

It is a place I come a lot but specially today in the children’s holidays. Shaunie was very accommodating and patient even though my children was a little impatient, she was very friendly and nothing was too much trouble and within the hour she managed to get us in and even reserve us a table considering how busy she was and the place was itself. I wanted to talk time to mention this as sometimes it can go missed but she’s an asset to the place.

We come here quite often and it has never disappointed , great food, lovely staff, and the play area is perfect for our children.

Came in for a bite to eat and couple of drinks. Service was fast efficient and staff were lovely and smiley! Just what you want to see when you come to a restaurant! I had the gammon with eggs. I asked for it to be cooked well done and it came out to perfection. Compliments to the chef. It would've been rude not to have a dessert either so I had the sticky toffee pudding. Filled the gap nicely. 10/10 would recommend coming here whether if its on your own or with family.

I visited this restaurant today with my son and can I say it did not disappoint! We arrived in the Wacky early as I thought mid afternoon would be too busy. We were greeted by friendly Staff who were so caring towards my son. The...

Met up with family and friends as it was a convenient location for us all to get to. A great range of food on offer, well presented, hot when it arrived and was very well looked after by the staff. I didn’t have the carvery but it all looked delicious and the staff were keeping an eye on all of it making sure it was up to temperature. Will definitely be going back again.

We met up with friends, the staff were great as usual. The menu has lots of choice. The food was hot n well presented. Would always recommend to family n friends. 💗

Amazing food, would highly recommend. We come here all the time and never faults, very friendly staff who go out there way to make sure everything is perfect. The carvery especially is the best and can’t wait to come back again.

came with my little boy and a friend and her daughter. we had coffee while the kids played in the wacky then all had linch. friendly staff, kids were entertained and food was lovely would defo recommend

Went for carvery with family really good choice of veg beef was spot on too friendly staff Good prices good selection of beers

Came for a bite to eat and a catch up with a friend. Food was nice and great value for money, been here many times and can’t fault it at all.

Great carvery. Food felt fresh and plenty of choice. Service was quick and staff were friendly and helpful. Would definitely visit again.

Went for a family birthday excellent food and service the staff were really friendly and helpful would definitely recommend.

Thanks for the great food. Would recommend coming here! Emma is a friendly host and theres a great selection of drinks. Good location too

Monthly visit for me and my friends, as always fantastic service! Wacky warehouse was brill for the kids, Nicola was Lovely and welcoming, interacting and making the children feel included. Cannot fault the place! Thank you!

Poor customer service, and cleanliness the tables and menus was filthy. Poor management and knowledge of dealing with complaints. Would not recommend. The food was quite poor, and not up to expectation. It’s a shame as use to come often but definitely gone down hill.

Great food, lovely team. We had the carvery but the food being brought whilst we was there looked nice.

Always love coming here when I meet up with a friend. Amy always serves us with a friendly smile! Really chatty team who are a credit to the pub. Would highly recommend to anyone! Thank you and will be back soon on our next meet...

Wonderful place to eat. Emma is always very helpful and nice. Good selection of things on the menu and a regular place I come on business trips, as it is super convenient location wise (at least for me).

Visited here today after visiting Retail Park. Was greeted by a lovely lady who showed us to a table. Ordered 2 carverys, which were delicious, and 2 drinks, served by Kelly who was very pleasant and used my bluelight card which gave me a discount....

Had the carvery. It was really nice. Served by Ciara who was lovely and kind . Drinks were really good

Food was great Ciara was vry nice. I went for dinner had a beef carvery wrap. Was very nice and beef was fresh and meaty- really got the taste buds tingling!

My family and I went there for lunch. We had fully loaded chicken strips and red wine. The food was fresh and tasty. Ciara was very attentive and provided us with great customer service and menu recommendations.

Thanks for a good time! Always enjoy the meal and the service is always good, particularly from Emma. Would recommend this venue

We come here quite regular to meet for dinner, this time was excellent as always! Steak fondue beautiful, as recommended by Karen. Staff always friendly and helpful, nothing is ever too much trouble!

Absolutely shocking meal. Worst ever hunters chicken I've ever had Not a traditional bbq sauce ..chicken was dried out n burnt on edges Cheese was a congealed , cold mess. Staff didn't engage at all on our interaction and didn't make effort to even look...

Fantastic atmosphere well beyond expectations. Staff more than helpful and so friendly. Will definitely be going again. Definitely worth a visit without a doubt

Been a few times now for carvery and not been disappointed I absolutely love them but went today Sunday dinner with family I asked for extra yorkshires as my husband doesn’t eat any veg and they said no because they can’t keep up with cooking...

We decided to call in today for lunch. They have changed the decor it's beautiful. Food was hot delicious and fast coming out despite it being busy. Very clean accessible toilet was a bonus as I'm a wheelchair user

Brilliant carvery lunch. Everything was lovely, warm and fresh. Had a nice fudge cake for afters too.

I came in for tea one night on a busy Sunday evening. I was seated very quickly there was a big queue for the cavery but very worth the wait. My partner had a bacon cheese burger and we had some starters the food was...

Shocking halloumi salad £8.29 for a bowl of gem lettuce and 3 slices of halloumi . Literally nothing else . How can they call that a salad ? First time customer & last time customer !!

Came in with my girls for lunch & drinks and absolutely loved it. I had the loaded chicken and it was lovely. The drinks were lovely and our waitress Ciara was lovely and went out of her way to help. Definitely recommend. Staff are very...

Me and my partner visited here yesterday. Decent priced food and drinks. Loved the steak and chicken fondue. Tasted amazing! Brilliant service from one girl in particular. Didn’t catch her name but she was tall and had ginger hair. Gave us a warm welcome when...

I recently launched a brand new Music Makes Memories' Friendship Lunch at this amazing venue which is proving to be a huge success. This is because we receive first class and superb service by Lauren, the Manager, and her team. Our guests have a delicious...

Great place, visited recently and cannot fault it. Sarah who served us was very friendly, welcoming and courteous. Will definitely return and recommend to friends/family. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Came to the storyteller today for a meal with friends. The food was lovely! I had chick and mix and my friends had burger and the other carvery. They all said they enjoyed it. Staff were very friendly and efficient. The outside beer garden is...

Food not the best but could just be hit and miss, child's meal wasn't great and he didn't eat it, says alot because he usually does especially after playing for ages in the play area, which is great, not much seating in there tho but plenty of seating out side the play area part, we eat out there if it is busy and then go into the play area after, it has a little play garden outside with decent amount of seating aswel. It's not somewhere I'd choose to go as there are better places that do the same sort of meals and deals, but it is ok if you are in the area of parkgate and wanted a sit down meal, or for the kids to play.

Me and my partner went here for a night to have a meal after been together for a year 😁 (not major to some people) but yes we really enjoyed it great staff and lovely food! Also went a week before for my birthday 🍰

Great food,staff friendly as always and enjoyable drinks out in the sun...our favourite place when shopping in parkgate

Came for a visit with my husband before going to work, had the new mac and cheese burger. I have to say it was absolutely beautiful, the staff were lovely and made you feel extremely welcome. Will definitely be visiting again soon.

We came with the children and firstly visited the Wacky Warehouse. It was very good. The children lived it. We then went to the restaurant and had the carvery. It was delicious. Hot, plenty of it and good variety. We all enjoyed it. Staff very nice and attentive. Really polite and helpful. A lovely meal out.

I really feel for the staff who have to work here as they bring the food to tables. I would seriously want the floor to swallow me up instead of having to serve a five pound sandwich with a side of limp lettuce which is made out of paper thin, stale bread. The children’s play area is also awful. Nobody stops pre-teen children from charging around the toddler area and pushing little ones to the floor. The whole place is beyond the chaos that you would usually experience in family eateries. We won’t be returning.

All of my answers are answered realistically and the people are really polite and my answered are true

We had been here before and had a good meal. As we were back in the area and wanted a meal we decided we would eat here again.It was quite a nice day and so we decided to eat in the garden, a very pleasant setting and looked for a table with chairs rather than a bench. We found one, but it was full of used glasses, plates and cutlery – as indeed were many of the other tables. We looked at the menu and decided what we were going to eat and drink and I went to place our order at the bar. I said that the table we were at needed clearing and the woman behind the bar said she was on her own, but would come as soon as possible to clear the things away. Some of it was cleared away when the food was brought, but the rest was still there whilst we were eating and was still there after we left. It is no wonder there were no knives and forks at the cutlery station – many were out on the tables and others hidden in a drawer. There was also a lack of condiments at the cutlery station and I had to go scavenging the tables in the bar to find some of what I wanted (Could not find any mustard or vinegar).When ordering drinks I wanted one of the craft ales, but was told there were none on, but I could have draught beer (Neither of which was one that I would have bought by choice). I had to settle for a cider.Anyway the food arrived. My mixed grill was not far short of being cold and most of it was before the end of the meal. The chicken fillet was tiny to say the least and was little more than half the size one would expect. I am not even sure it was fillet. In any event it was way overcooked, completely dry and stringy. Any self-respecting chef would have thrown it in the bin. The rest of this meal was not really up to much, but I was very hungry at this stage and made do.My good lady’s meal was even poorer than mine. She had the Hunters Chicken. Again I am not sure it was chicken fillet. The size of it suggested it was at best a part fillet, but I am not convinced. That was even more overcooked than my piece, no noticeable cheese, but quite a lot of BBQ sauce (Which was quite tasty). But it was hard as a brick in places where it had been overcooked to the point of being burnt in places. My partner could not eat it and took most of it back and complained. The manager was called and she took one look at it, apologised for the poor quality and offered us a refund on the two meals with no hesitation.It was an unprecedented action by me, but prior to going back with the food I telephoned Greene King Customer Services to report the poor quality of the entire experience. They are looking into it.It is a shame really as on our last visit I rated this place 4* bordering on 5*. This time I have given 1*.

The service and food was very good but would be better if the staff waited until my mouth wasn't full before asking if everything was alright

We come here regularly and it never disappoints. The pub was clean and staff friendly as always. We had the ploughman’s and fully loaded chicken strips both meals we’re beautifully presented and tasted fantastic.

Had their carvery. Was very tasty. Plenty of meat. Hot food. Service excellent. Atmosphere lovely. Was their with a 3 year old, too. Nothing too much trouble. Highly recommended.

Week after week the staff never fail in making us welcome. The food is always delicious especially the carvery. Thank you to all the for making us feel so special.

Excellent service and the food was Stunning and had an all around great atmosphere, will definitely be visiting again 😁

Been for Sunday lunch had the carvery lovely meal, friendly atmosphere and great service the chef Claire was very welcoming definitely be back

Lovely day had by all the family. Great staff, special thankyou to the carvery chef 'claire' wonderful service... Will come again for sure..

Went for a family meal and was made to feel really welcome by all staff especially the chief Claire she was so friendly made us all feel at home great service throughout!!

Went here for a mother's day carvery and was very impressed with the service we got.

Brought my mum here for mothers day. Good portion sizes and turkey was moist. Carver was friendly. Was served by Lauren and Jaynie. They checked meals were ok and brought drinks to table so didnt have to queue as was busy! Thanks!

We had booked a table, had to find it ourselves.

My girlfriend and I nipped In for something to eat after finishing work early. Due to it being about 7/8 ish in the evening we got served straight away by a lady called Karen, she was absolutely amazing made us feel welcoming and continued to do so for the rest of the evening. She made sure everything was alright throughout the evening and provided excellent service with a smile.

Spent last weekend at Rotherham, got grub at storyteller. Was busy but staff were great. New York was really nice, lots of chips. Our waitress jaynie checked during and after meal that food was ok, very polite. She told us that Ben cooked our food, thanks Ben!

I came in today with my 7 year old Daughter, we were told we could sit at a two seater table near the door or it would be a 20 minute wait time for a table. We took the table. Whilst I was queuing for drinks and carvery tickets (my daughter wanted to sit down as the queue was huge), I was trying to keep an eye on her but every time I leant to the left to look down the queue, people were passing with food and I was in the way. A table became available right at the side of the queue and I asked a passing waitress if we could swap tables and explained I was on my own and it would be helpful to have my daughter nearer to me plus easier to navigate the carvery when the time came (and be able to see our drinks). She asked the lady on the door who said no as she needed it for a group of 3 and we were only a two!!! After being served at the bar we had to leave our drinks unattended (and well out of our view) whilst we went to the carvery. We then had to put our coats on to eat our lunch as we were sat in the doorway. The table was wobbly and there were no beer mats for me to resolve this myself, so we spent the whole meal trying to navigate the table. When asked if everything was ok (by the waitress I had asked if we could swap tables) I said no not really, the food is lovely but we are freezing and the tables been rocking all through our meal. She asked if we would like something else by way of apology but I said no we don’t really want to prolong our stay! A very disappointing visit, sorry our 2 person visit wasn’t enough to warrant better customer service. Having had birthday parties, play dates and meals there over the years I’m not sure we will be returning in hurry.

Always enjoy our visits here weather we eat of the main menu or carvery.great food excellent staff one of our favourite places to visit.karen always takes time out to stop for a friendly chat when we visit

Came in with my boyfriend for a Friday night meal, had a really pleasant time. The waitress that served us Jaynie, was fabulous and added to the brilliant night we had. Will definitely be returning very soon.

I came in to have food, and a couple of drinks. I thought the pub was lovely, and the food was great. I was served by a waitress called Jaynie, she was so bubbly and full of energy, she really made my time there so wonderful and enjoyable.

We use the Story teller on regular visits , the food is always brilliant and I must comment as are the staff, they are too sparce on the shop floor and green King dont seem to wish to give them enough staff on duty for busy times , but despite this they keep smiling though and are always freindly and extremly good at their tasks,

Found this place after a shopping trip to Parkgate Centre , they do an excellent carvery 3 meats available along with a good selection of potatoes and veg all at very reasonable prices they also have other options on the menu also good food and reasonably priced my husband and I go very regularly and our grown up kids go with us on Sunday’s for dinner

Went shopping round the parkgate area on Saturday and popped in for a carvery. Even though it was busy, staff were friendly and helpful! Especially janie and jono I think there names were, they couldn't do enough for me and the rest of my family. Will be back again!

Meal lovely. Served after a reasonable wait for freshly prepared food. Very helpful attentive & professional. 10/10 Jonno

Lovely service from Nicola at the wacky warehouse made us feel really welcome, will definitely be coming again!!

Went here for a birthday meal with the family, The carvery was beautiful, I had the Beef and Gammon and they were both cooked perfectly to my liking and there was a good selection of veg, all hot and fresh.

Came in other day with a few friends was only meant to be having a few drinks but we ended up having food the lady we ordered food with I think her name was beth she made sure we had everything even offered to get us more drinks when she did a check back on our meals not from around the area but would defiantly recommend

We haven’t been here in a while and was seated by a lovely lady called Rachael, I was going to try the carvery but was offered the hand battered cod and chips when I asked Amy the lady who took my order what she would recommend and it was delicious. My son had the carvery and it also was very nice with a great sized portion for the price.

Went for a meal in the wacky warehouse with my Son, We had the sharing platter which was more than enough for me and my son. The staff were fantastic especially nic my boy thinks shes hilarious. Would recommend anyone to visit

Me and my husband come here every week just for a drink , all the bar staff are so friendly , especially Rachel who always has a smile on her face, and makes us feel so welcome.

We visited the storyteller with our family and children and couldn't recommend more. Food brill, service brill and Wacky Warehouse was perfect for the kids.. Nicola was amazing and couldn't do enough for us. Will be visiting again soon!

came here the other week with my daughter to tots club. The kids were loving it. Nicola always blows balloons up for the kids to play with and waits on us hand and foot! Great place great staff. Would highly recommend

Came for a birthday meal with my daughter and my friend and we had Cavery and meals off the menu in the wacky the lady in the wacky Beth made us feel very welcome and gave us some information about the SEN night which we may be coming to will defiantly be returning!

Had 2 beautiful steak meals .couple drinks .verry reasonable friendly and spotless beautiful food and nice and hot when it came out will visit again

First and last time in this place food crap and staff too,if your chef dose NOT like his job there are plenty of other chefs that do, and if he does like it tell him to tell his face.

It was my first visit and it's safe to say it will be my last!!!! On arrival,baring in mind a quiet Wednesday evening. We waited every time to get served. Just the one serving on food and drinks for the unlucky few what went for food that evening. The carvery was obviously on hand straight away but as ya do,you have family members ordering off the menu. So politely we waited until there food was ready. We was told 40mins....,a hr later questioned what was the problem cos it was hardly bustling? Not ready so get a carvery?? Then in the confusion!!! Oh 10mins...,so we got our carvery... Which they had no beef!! Just turkey n gammon. Again not busy so why??? Then after just about finishing ours there's arrived. A mixed grill and chicken salad. But they had no salad so fetched some mixed peppers and chips?? Instead. That's diet out of window!!!! What a absolute joke of a service. Greene king need to question what's going on here because handsworth Greene king is quality!!!! Sword dancer. So there you go. Stay clear if you want a experience like that one!!!

sorry but caught button for rating actually give zero carvery zero needs to improve on meats beef pink

Family visit with 3 adults,3 kids and a teenager.We started off in the Wacky where the kids enjoyed letting off some ‘steam’.Whilst in there we enjoyed a lovely Carvery while the younger members had kid meals.All meals demolished and thoroughly enjoyed.After our allotted time we ended up in the pub area where the kids enjoyed some well deserved deserts.All staff friendly,polite and accommodating but a big thank you to Rachel & Kathryn for looking after the ‘rabble,Looking forward to our next family visit.

Went the other week down from London and stopped by here for food, it was great, good quality and the drinks were great too. Emma and the rest of the staff made it so much nicer as we could rely on them for help whenever we wanted and they were approachable. Thanks!

Popped in for a bite to eat after a very long journey. On arrival I noticed the restaurant was quiet, clean and spacious. Easily found a table and great choice of menus. We both opted for the carvery. Musy admit the meat looked dry

Carvery chef was continuously chatting very loudly across the bar to other staff members about how he was "fired from a previous job for sexual harrasement" this conversation continued throughout the night.

We regularly come to the story teller for food and enjoy the cheeky fellow on the carvery, i think his name luke or lake not quite sure didn't quite catch his name always very polite and friendly, thank you

Very very poor not much meat and the veg was under cooked carrots was thick and very hard roast potatoes looked anemic I'll not be going again
