Strafford Arms in Barnsley

pretentious + expensive; no thanks ...

Super Stella place. I would rate in Top 10 in UK. Excellent service and food. Was told the Local Dogging Society hold their Christmas Party there. Might come for back for the Party 🥳 🎉 🤪

Lovely place, friendly staff. My party's food was good in general but I just wasn't impressed with mine. I had the meat and potato stew. It came with chips, peas and a puff pastry lid but the dish itself was just a bowl of gravy filled almost to the brim. The gravy was tasty but I had to use my desert spoon to drink up the liquid. It just wasn't a stew as such, plenty of meat and potato at the bottom but just not what I was expecting.

Had a lovely time here for a family dinner. Food was great and the service was really friendly. The pub and restaurant have a great atmosphere. The menu is really varied so everyone found something they liked. Will definitely visit again.

Had an early evening meal at the Stratford Arms tonight. The food was very good. I need to specifically mention the Fillet Rossini. It was superb and one of the best main meals I’ve had in a long time. Beautiful setting too.

Went in for a very late lunch, and they didn’t disappoint! We enjoyed a lovely meal and drinks in a peaceful atmosphere, with excellent staff. The steak frites and beef burger were amazing! We will be back!

First visit to this lovely Pub. Busy at 6pm, so a nice atmosphere. Staff were lovely and helpful. Food was very good. We thoroughly enjoyed our first visit. Re booking to go again.

A breath of fresh air finding a great location with amazing food and most important, great service. Well done. You will be seeing a lot of me. Including tonight.

Was walking by so went for a quick drink. It's always been a pleasant pub but due to the former keeper not allowing children, I haven't been in years. Nice front of house but it appears to be geared up for food not drinks. Even the bill for the drinks was paid after we had them and were leaving. Will go back and try the food next time. Ample and free parking and a stoll from the trans pennine trail.

Went to celebrate hubby's birthday here. It's a spectacular place! The autumn decor was extremely beautiful. We loved the food. We were offered the dinner date menu, which allowed us to order a starter, 2 main courses, and a dessert. Worked perfectly for us. Our server was amazing. Food, ambience and service is top notch..I would visit again.

Lovely pub out in the Barnsley country side. A very popular pub and so would recommend. Had cod loins which was really tasty. A nice atmosphere as it was busy and so could see it was a popular eating place. Varied menu. The afternoon teas looked a popular choice.definitely recommend. Need to book as saw quite a few people turned away.

Dined here this evening, party of six for a birthday celebration. Lovely atmosphere, food was absolutely delicious and great value! Steak was so tasty and perfectly cooked. Chef and waitress couldn't do enough for us and all staff so welcoming. Can't wait to return again!

Went for Sunday lunch with 17 family members aged from 3 to 65 and wow what a wonderful time we all had. I arranged a birthday surprise for my husband’s special birthday and Eden sorted everything out beforehand for me, including a few little surprises along the way. Looking after us at the meal yesterday was Zoe (who couldn’t do enough to ensure we had everything we needed), along with Hannah who was really helpful with the surprises I had asked about, Laura, and Bryony organising the food and Noah our drinks. Georgia was a superstar looking after us as our host, and helping me when I moved from the table. The food was absolutely superb, presented very beautifully and it tasted wonderful. Starters ranging from Scallops, Arancini, filo parcel and more, mains were beef, chicken, gammon, lamb all with the usual trimmings and fantastic vegetables all cooked to perfection. To finish we had chocolate brownies, delice- loved every mouthful!!, blondie and an amazing sticky toffee pudding! The staff throughout were excellent, catering to all our requests even though the restaurant was extremely busy. My whole party were impressed by the food and service we received. Thanks to all involved

Very good food and excellent bar selection.

Went last weekend for 30th birthday cream tea and absolutely gutted was so disappointing. Absolutely no flavours to it. The cakes were so try the rice pudding rice was hard. It was expensive for what you got. I couldn't believe it had 1 chicken goujoin and cheap smiley faces. Cheap carton milk shakes and one of the item was ABIT of boiled plain pasta in a small saucepan. Really was a disappointment plus made the booking for 5 and brought out enough for 4 people so had to sit and wait. Then unknown to us you had to ask for the hot drink that went with it. Staff tried there best but food quality absolutely terrible for price. Shocking was really disappointed

We go for the Afternoon teas usually, they are Honestly the best thing I've ever had, Quirky and different. Went today for Lunch had food of the same menu, weren't quite as impressed and would definatly just go back for the afternoon teas but still give them 5* just our preference. The staff are amazing and the food tastes lovely

Very pretty, very typical setting, warm welcome.

A beautiful venue, with lovely friendly staff and amazing food! Will definitely be returning, couldn’t recommend enough X

Very high standards of food, very clean, great selection and a very reasonably priced lunch menu. Very rare level of quality and fresh ingredients and the staff were lovely!

Nice location and food, however prices are very high for the location.

Very quiet, just popped in for a drink

I recently visited for a Sunday lunch, hoping for a hearty and satisfying meal, but unfortunately, the experience fell far short of expectations. The ambiance was pleasant enough, with a cozy setting that promised a comforting meal, but the food itself was a major letdown. The most glaring issue was the roast beef, which is often the star of a traditional Sunday lunch. Instead of a succulent, flavorful cut of meat, what was served resembled sandwich meat—thin, lackluster slices that lacked any real substance or depth of flavor. The beef was dry and overcooked, with none of the tenderness or richness one would expect from a proper roast. It was as if the kitchen had simply reheated pre-packaged deli meat, which was a huge disappointment. The sides didn’t do much to salvage the meal either. The vegetables were bland and seemed to have been sitting out for too long, losing their freshness and appeal. The potatoes, which should have been crisp and golden, were instead soft and greasy, devoid of any crispiness or seasoning. I certainly won’t be visiting again.

Did not eat here but went in to watch the Leeds game. Staff very friendly and a pint for Under £3 Wish I still lived in Wakefield and was not visiting.

Gorgeous find. We recently visited wentworth castle and wanted somewhere for food after our busy day. The food was scrummy, the decor and location is stunning and the staff are very friendly and accommodating. We hope to visit again soon.

Another great afternoon tea ... staff excellent.. we will be returning again .. have different themes each month.. need to book

Very disappointing over priced meal tonight, nearly £100 for 2 mains and desserts. Cheesecake was stale tasted dry with a sour composte. Definitely won't be returning, staff however are very nice

A really good place for a Sunday lunch, the venue is in a great location, and you may need to ensure you book at peak times. We visited on this occasion for a late lunch, which was good value and offered a varied seasonal selection. I'd definitely recommend that you give this place a try if you are in the local area and enjoy some the great walks which are around the pub.

The food was truly awful. It was clearly straight out of a packet. The burger was frozen, there was supposed to be mozzarella on the burger but it was more like squeezy cheese. The heirloom tomato salad was bland and there were no heirloom tomatoes in it, clearly they don’t know what a heirloom tomato is, the chicken was dry, the salmon over cooked, the risotto looked like soup (we didn’t have it but the person at the table next to us said it was bad), the Parmesan on the chips was the plasticky stuff from a shaker. It was all so disgusting, and to make it worse, it comes with a price tag. Sooo overpriced. The only saving grace was that the views are lovely and the staff were nice. But if you like freshly made food, I would avoid this place!

Early evening dine. People with kid wandering around playing electronic toy was annoying whilst trying to enjoy night out. Waitress liberally spraying tables like it was McDonalds, necessary but could be discreet. My chair almost in doorway of dining area, chairs uncomfortable, tables sticky. Waitress very good, polite, smile and attentive thank you. Food over priced and underwhelming. Risotto like baby food, sirloin steak cooked correctly but rest of plate was generally dull, rocket salad limp, mushrooms just an addition rather than a delicious accompaniment, chunky chips poor, try twice cooked with a bit of crispness and a little salad maybe? Cutlery poor quality, couldnt cut spring onions, steak or chicken easily. Chicken was good. £27 for a sirloin (£32 for fillet)when everything else was dull as dishwater, better in a lorry drivers cafe! Price is extortionate as was the price for starters and dessert at £9......come on! Menu is limited for vegetarians and limited overall. Bill was £100 plus tip just for 3 mains and a few drinks...I have been to Strafford arms 3 times. First time was OK so went again, second time service appalling, was virtually ignored despite 3 people behind bar. Food was average. 1 year later gave it another go......absolute rubbish never again. Over priced over rated, underwhelming!

Had the Yorkshire Afternoon Tea. The savoury items were delicious, especially the stew and the cheese and onion tart. The desserts let it down badly. Scone very very average, Yorkshire Parkin really dry, cheesecake tasteless. Disappointed as could have been so much better.

There is no provision for disabled entry to the premises or toilets . My sister is wheelchair bound following a heart attack and really struggled to walk up the steps into the restaurant . She was unable to visit the ladies due to stepped entrance . We were celebrating a family birthday . The food was very good but service not . A drink was spilt down the back of one of our party without apology or acknowledgement , A child’s meal arrived after the adult meals and one meal arrived significantly later than the rest .

Perfect Place! Lovely pub with a great atmosphere and location Thoroughly recommend! Food, Drink and hospitality are second to none

Went for lunch with a friend - £35 for a bottle of nothing special wine; ordered chicken gyros which was nothing more than a few chips and chicken thrown into a flat bread, no side salad to accompany it . Food arrived with no cutlery which I had to ask twice for , and by the time it arrived food was nearly cold . Have always liked this pub but bitterly disappointed on this occasion

Pretty much enjoyed our lunch here, if I'd to be negative about anything I found the onion rings we had to be a little too greasy for my liking, but overall a great lunch

On our way back from North Yorkshire we called in as friends have previously been in and recommended it. It was quiet as early lunch time but greeted by a friendly member of staff. I had the chicken gyros at £10.95 and my partner had the light bite fish and chips at £12. Food was lovely and a decent portion size too.

Obviously the pub and the location are lovely but the drinks are ridiculously overpriced.. it's a pub.. not the ritz... think I ordered a cider & a lager and it came to 13 pounds lol.. a lovely place to sit and have a drink and I suppose you get what you pay for but the only reason I'm not giving it less than three stars is because of the location.. oh ye, & when I ordered the lager there was something even wrong with the pump and it wasn't working properly so he took about 5 minutes to pour a pint of lager

Nothing special and expensive.. Steak over cooked Frozen fries and limp salad leaves. Wouldn't recommend.

Went with a friend today for lunch… staff are lovely and make you fee welcome and the pork sandwich was lovely…. I will be back to sample more….

Lovely place, just thought we would call in for a drink. The staff were friendly and accommodating.

We absolutely love going to the strafford arms good range of food and drinks and staff are so welcoming. Thank you for always letting us in the beer garden with the horses and being very accommodating 😊

We had lunch here twice, bangers & mash was great - first time we've ever had that. Fish & chips was great. nice selection of pub ales which we enjoy. walking distance to Wentworth park. They have a nice outside area to eat but we had inside. We will stop in next time we cross the pond

Wonderful food , but again service and staff below standards for the prices . Still young staff who are ok when serving are not attentive and spend too much time chatting or on their phones. Also loads of empty tables that were reserved but never used. We want to have a drink pre meal but told we has to sit at our restaurant table. Really need to improve customer service. But I must emphasise the food is superb

Food v expensive and poor quality tbh, the med Flatbread was unpleasant to say the least and a burnt burger among the offerings... vegan and vegetarian options limited... poor show sadly and a bit of a rip off it seems

Didn't like the attitude of the barmaid, it was very busy, she asked for my order then went off and never returned, too busy swishing her hair about, everyone else beng served around me,

Lovely spot for a nice cold drink, lovely outside area although the beer choices are lacking for me.

Fish and chips and onion rings very greasy left most of it. Steak very good.

Dogs are not welcome as the Google entry suggests Dogs are not allowed inside There is outside seating but they don’t serve food outside So if you have a dog and want food then this place is not for you

Had Sunday lunch. The pork loin wasn’t loin it was two slices of fatty pork off a joint. The roast potatoes of which we got two were well done and empty inside. The veg, carrots, baby sweet corn, mange two , green beans and cabbage were disgusting, hard as rock and cold. I like al dente veg but it wasn’t cooked or prepared correctly. Yorkshire puddings were big but unfulfilling and the stuffing was about the best thing on the plate. My father’s beef was rare, tough and extremely thin slices, of which there were two. It’s such a shame as the staff were friendly and attentive and the service was good. The actual pub is lovely with a nice atmosphere so it’s such a shame the food is so poor. Won’t be going again. For £23 you should get a lot better.

We went for Vicki,s birthday and it was lovely

Beautiful setting. Mediocre service. The menu looked amazing but sadly every fish meal was filled with crab or lobster shell. One piece fine it's fresh fish but there was loads. When we mentioned it we didn't get anything off. There was also food from the previous service on the floor under the table. Very disappointing for the price. ¹¹

Food is definitely pre cooked and reheated plating was sloppy, could do a better job at home with a microwave & airfryer.

A really nice place, the staff are very friendly and organised and the meal was delicious. Not too expensive.Everything ordered arrived quickly.

Lovely pub but the food is not of the quality it used to be. My wife had the duck which was mostly gristle and fat and hard to cut. I had the seafood mixed grill which didn’t sit right after finishing, subsequently I’ve been throwing up for the past hour. Fair to say will not be revisiting again.

Came here for afternoon tea for a special occasion. I wrote to them prior my booking and asked if they could cater for one vegetarian for a afternoon tea to which they replied "yes of course, just write your request in the notes when booking". So that is exactly what I did, we turned up on the day to be served meat (well a flat cold sausage roll and some duck paste on some bread I think) . I asked which side was the vegetarian and they told me that they had no idea of my request, they said that the kitchen staff doesn't read the notes ! Really great thanks! 25 quid each for a piece of cold sausage roll, a thimble of soup a small portion of fish and chips and what tasted like yesterday's stale cakes! Plus 8 pounds for 2 soft drinks! I would rather stay in and save money personally! Thanks anyway!

Only went in for a drinks and kids meal. The place inside is lovely and the staff were all super great! One lady was doing peek a boo to keep my unhappy toddler smiling. Amazing customer service! Thank you😊

Lamb cannon was to die for, the spinach Gruyère & butternut squash and rum glaze; just elevated the dish! My brother had the Lobster croquettes so I tried & were out of this world, but my favourite had to be the Chorizo arancini SUPERB! One of our guests is celiac so was nice that they’re were starters, mains and desserts to choose from basque cheesecake wow Beautiful pub Brilliant chefs! As a party of 10, you expect a wait, but service was efficient and high quality. Young waitress Madoc was friendly and attentive and Richard behind the bar bring real character and care to our service. Will be back

My daughter booked it for my mother's day gift . It was beautiful Sunday roast and the staff were incredible thankyou xx

Absolutely amazing the staff were so lovely and attentive, went the extra mile the man behind the bar was so lovely and the waitress was brilliant too both so kind everything you want in your front of house team. Food was beautiful it was a large group of 12 all the food was delicious no complaints at all cooked beautiful and tasted amazing presentation was good. Atmosphere was brilliant. No faults at all will definitely be a returning customer.

Had a wonderful afternoon tea,food was excellent, everything was beautifully presented, homemade tomato soup in a small cup, fish and chips in basket etc,a selection of yummy cakes, staff very polite and helpful,I would highly recommend this place,a big thank you to my son and daughter in law for the gift voucher.

Absolutely 5* food and staff were amazing. The meals were all absolutely beautiful and will definitely be returning. Staff was also really friendly with my 1 year old son which was really lovely to see. Nothing was too much for the staff and very fast service. I had the beef burger and it was cooked to perfection Thankyou very much for a lovely evening.

Friendly greeting. No booking but found a table. Had a choice of the normal dining menu or the lunch option. Service was good... no undue time lag between ordering and receiving our meals. I had the chicken supreme which was tasty but could have been hotter. Other meals were chosen from the lunch menu. The gyros was tasty, the light fish and chips also good as was the steak frites. However I would say the steak frites portion was on the small size for a dish costing close to £15. Overall all though all food was very good and we would come back. The afternoon tea looked very interesting.

Always a lovely atmosphere but vegan options are sometimes hit a miss, risotto was very salty. My partners pie was lovely though and the chips were amazing.

Staff member was rude. When we went to go in and get drinks to sit outside in the sunshine she rudely said ‘do you have a booking?’ When we said no, we’re just getting some drinks and sitting outside she said ‘well that’s alright then’… not very welcoming at all. Packet of crisps was extortionate too.

Nice enough pub but over £11 for 2 colas a pack of crisp and a tiny bag of nuts is expensive

Food very poor and expensive. staff very good. Will not go again. Real shame as the place is very nice. Need to improve dramatically

We were greeted with a smile and friendly and friendly efficient trying to find us beat spot. Excellent cuisine. Nothing was too much trouble. No hovering at tables but when service was needed, they always appeared. Everything clean, tables efficiently cleared at the right time. Friendly and professional staff. Will definitely be back.

I love this place. The staff was welcome and patient with kids. The food was delicious. I would definitely recommend this place.a/ k

Love this place. Gorgeous alternative style afternoon tea. Been a few times and does not disappoint.

Previously been fantastic every visit, couple of weeks ago went for meal for 2, the soup starter was very peppery and heated, not the usual celeriac soup, fish and chips usually very good, not this time, the fish batter was very greasy and at the end of meal there was a pool of grease , and to top the evening off, my Mrs was ill couple of hour later, been a regular for years, but now looking elsewhere, not once was we asked if meal was OK, slow staff and didn't seem to care, just another job it felt like, not the usuall i expected, sorry but totally let down on this occasion,

Excellent place to go for either lunch or dinner, we went for afternoon tea and it was absolutely delicious. The staff are all amazing and can’t do enough for you. I have been on a number of occasions and have never been disappointed

Honestly this was a great evening A beautiful building The food was amazing The staff were brilliant I will definitely be back

Beautiful pub but expensive and the food is not worth the money paid we paid over £300 for a family of 6. We were overcharged for 2 x house bottles of wine and 1 week later and I am still awaiting a refund! They are quick to take your money and not so quick to give it back! Terrible customer service I’ve eaten in much better places. It’s a shame but we won’t be back

Beautiful afternoon tea. The only improvement could have been maybe a couple more savory sandwiches.

We were really looking forward to the themed ‘Alice in Wonderland’ afternoon tea. the food arrived and looked impressive, however there were more negatives than positives really - sadly. Despite it being a themed afternoon tea, there was nothing themed about it. Which was a shame. Secondly, I’m certain that the sweet treats weren’t home made. They tasted shop bought - which again was a shame. It was just ‘ok’ and we wanted a ‘wow’. It looked impressive but in reality was nothing special. The drinks weren’t nice. We were told that it was just blackcurrant with lemonade - which is a bit rubbish and backs up what I’m saying that the appearance is better than the actual quality. With a few simple changes it could be good and so I hope management take this on board.

My daughter wanted to treat her Mum to a meal Strafford Arms for Mother’s Day. I was just the chauffeur for the evening. They both enjoyed their meal and were very pleased with the service they received. The atmosphere was very warm and welcoming they said. They would both like to go again to the Strafford Arms

At the end of October, four of us went to the Strafford Arm’s Viva Mexico themed night where we were promised Mexican Small Plates, Mexican Cocktails and live music with a mixture of English & Spanish songs. The food was exceptional with decent portion sizes (small plates definitely weren’t small! – just how we like them lol), the drinks were lovely (and flowing easily), the live music was heavily English biased but was still nice to have (although a little loud for some). We enjoyed; PULLED LIME & TEQUILA CHICKEN (GF) £9 – this was our favourite dish in terms of flavour, could have eaten another plate of this! FULLY LOADED NACHO FRIES (GF) £10 – another fave of ours, wow what a bowlful! Really enjoyed how much was on this plate, definitely filled us up. Didn’t spot the chips underneath all the nachos and toppings at first haha. SHREDDED LAMB SHOULDER EMPANADA, CHILLI SALSA £12 – a nice portion and spicy salsa was good, would have liked a little more filling? CHORIZO, BLACK BEAN & CORN SALSA £8 – a nice, refreshing dish Traditional Margaritas – strong & salty 😄 Other dishes on offer were; CHILLI & CORIANDER PRAWN TACO (GF) £9 FAJITA SPICY RICE (GF) £12 CHEESE, CHILLI & JALAPENO CROQUETTES (GF) £9 GRILLED CORN, LIME, MANCHEGO & PAPRIKA (GF) £9 MEXICAN SLOW COOKED PORK IN A BAKED TORTILLA WRAP £8 It was great to see many gluten free options. The service was really good, staff were friendly and food service was speedy. A lovely evening. had by all It was the first time we’d been to this cosy, country pub and I would return to try more of their food.

Really nice place to eat, food was lovely. We all enjoyed the afternoon tea

Great service fantastic food and great value for money ! The menu is amazing always using great locally sourced meat and vegetables and cheese's the real ale is great too !

Great food in a really nice atmosphere. The servers appeared to be a little inexperienced but very attentive. The food was really good value the drinks were very expensive and it was no surprise that the pub side was dead on a Saturday evening

Beautiful food and great service

Used to love the food here, but it's gone downhill. We ordered the roasted cod with linguini, smallest piece of fish possible, with loads of very slimy linguini. Not appetising at all!! Staff were not very attentive, didn't seem to be any manager in charge, Very disappointed. They seem to be more concerned with afternoon teas now? But its impacted on the Resturant meals. Poor. Won't be coming back until improvements, & we used to eat here at least once every 3 weeks.

We was refused a table when half of the restaurant was empty. Extremely rude, would not return. Even if they had bookings or an event, the manner in which we were spoke to and dismissed was not professional or enticing to return.

Always really enjoy coming here but it seems to be going downhill again like it did a few years ago , it’s such a shame , don’t think the new manager knows how to manage staff and customers

Fabulous afternoon tea with great service and ambiance. Delicious food served beautifully in a lovely setting . Only one complaint we were offered a children’s afternoon tea which contained less than an adults but were charged the same £22 . Would recommend and will be back .

We love the Strafford Arms, the staff are professional, warm and lovely, the atmosphere is is very relaxed and the service, drinks and food are all wonderful, id recommend booking as this special place is a bit of a well kept secret, thanks for making our evening wonderful!

Eat here quite a bit, enjoy it 9 times out of ten. Went for Sunday dinner today, I won't be doing that again. Tiny portion of meat, Bland gravy and poor mash *which is an extra charge as a side. Dare I say it I'd rather a Toby carvery Sunday lunch. The pub being so nice is relied on to make up for a few faults here, always thought the same..

Restaurant was cold, food was poor, service needs improvement. For starters the waitress simply said is this yours to my wife, we asked what it was and she showed us the plate. Then same question for second plate. Surely the waitress could just say who’s is the goats cheese? Clearly no training being given! Chicken satay starter luke warm but edible (not nice), other starters were good/ok. Main course beef was poor quality and cold, struggled to cut the fat off. Yorkshire pudding also cold. Had to pay extra for mash with Sunday dinner. But the insult to injury was being charged for extra Gravy that we were not ordered to try warm up the food because we’re were given cold meals. Paid the bill and left without desert as it was all so bad we didn’t want to risk it. Nobody ever asked if any of the food was ok, despite us seeing plenty of staff and it wasn’t particularly busy. If a place doesn’t do check backs on the food it’s because they don’t want to know! Sad as it’s a lovely place and could be so much better.

Amazing service, bryony was so nice. I have allergies that were noted and took on board, certain things had to be changed but nothing was too much trouble.

Lovely afternoon tea . Would recommend.

Lovey restaurant, food not so. The steak pie with puff pastry which we've had on numerous occasions, seems to have become a potato and gravy pie. 4 small pieces of steak in mine, only 2 pieces in my husbands meal.At £17.25 Really not worth it, please revert back to the previous ingredients.

Me and my family came here for my mother's 65th birthday on 20th of his month her birthday wasn't untill 21st its lovely food their was 8 of us intotal I alone spent £30.10 and that was on the 8oz rump stake a drink and a child's brownie desert. It's lovely food but the portion you get for the price isn't worth it £21 pound for a stake with about 10 chips and no pepper corn sauce wich you had to pay an extra £4.50 on top of the £21 most other restaurants don't charge extra for sauce,s you also got a large mushroom and some tomato,s and half a tree of green salad stuff. So for this reason me and my family won't be returning here too over priced for what you get very disappointed about not having pepper corn sauce with the stake also you don't sell strong bow darkfuries too that's also a disappointment too. Also the desert are way over priced £8 for a brownie And £3.50 for a child I'd rather pay £3.50 instead of £8. My star rating is me being generous And honest in my post I think that you're need to lower the prices of the food a bit and start to add sauces to the table free of charge and add pepper corn sauce to the stake and not over charge it as an extra iteam also add more chips too and ask people if they want mushroom,s to be added the plate too.

We’ve been visiting the Strafford Arms for the last 15 - 20 years. It’s a fabulous pub, but unfortunately, in our opinion, over the last year or so, the quality of the meals and the service has declined considerably. The meals we were presented with on our last visit were very poor and I doubt if we will be returning again until we hear better reviews. I’m sad to have to make theses comments, and I I hope this criticism will be acted upon constructively.

Had a very nice meal last weekend after visiting Wentworth castle. Both our meals were lovely and were served promptly by a very attentive waitress. We will hopefully visit again soon next time we’re in the area.

Fantastic for a celebration family lunch. Friendly, elegant atmosphere, and gorgeous food - the Sunday lunch menu was varied without being complicated and everything was cooked to perfection - tender roast beef, divine Yorkshire pud, and crisp baby veges. To start I had an outstanding white onion and celeriac veloute soup, which was simply magical - velvety, fragrant and divine. Highly recommended.

Me and a friend went for the Wonka Afternoon Tea, the pub itself is so cosy with the fire going, you can see the chef working away up at the top, just a lovely pub all clean and the staff were fab, will be going back very soon

Me and a friend called for an impromptu lunch today . Was lovely food and service

Visited before and never disappointed. Took my son for the Wonka afternoon tea. The place is lovely, real wood fire and decor make the atmosphere really cosy and welcoming. The staff really make the place, so friendly and clearly like their job and want to do a good job which is sometimes rare and really does make a difference. The afternoon tea savoury bits were lovely, with the right portion sizes and each very tasty (chips are the best!!). Some of the cakes were a little dry and some of the other teas I saw coming out looked a bit better with extra things on them but overall was really nice. Good selection of draft beers and wines. Overall - good location, lovely inside and staff are great. Will definitely be back soon!

We went for New Years Eve dinner. We had the chateaubriand (rare), red orange sorbet and Tiramisu. I don't have a big appetite but enjoyed every mouthful. The staff were attentive and friendly. Highly recommended.

Tad expensive for us . Small portions n canned peas used for mushy . Gonna try the wonka menu then give opinion again

Excellent service and good food. Would definitely recommend.
