Really lovely meal tonight celebrating a friends birthday. The scampi was the best ever .Gabby, Diane & Chef Jack did a fab job. We will come back & recommend..

Awful , be warned frozen food done better at home

Serve 16 yr olds , son of 16 drunk from this pub, happend twice in 2 weeks, Shame on landlord , words with son of course,

Great pint of real ale, up to 3 to choose from.

Good quality food, cooked fresh. The hand made chips were amazing! All round lovley experience.

New managers (lovely people) friendly and welcoming atmosphere and great food

This is a nice cosy pub It's was curry night and yes the home made curry was fantastic Excellent choice of alcoholic drinks on the bar Friendly and welcoming staff Unfortunately I forgot to take a photo

Just got home after my first visit with my wife, had a wonderful experience, food was superb, the wings, lasagne, mixed grill all brilliant with excellent, helpful service in a relaxed atmosphere, plus cracking value for money. We will definitely return.

Sat in warm and cosy conservatory Nice food Good chat with owner and server Enjoyable end of the week Will be back probably multiple times

We had a lovely meal at the Crown Inn, the service was fantastic and it was refreshing to find a pub with all the classic pub staples on its menu. The food is outstanding, we highly recommend

Beautiful meal , I had lasagne and my partner had mixed grill . Plenty of great quality food . Always nice to feel full after a meal . Will be coming in again shortly

I had fish and chips and it was delicious,I hope they add buffalo chicken wings with blue cheese sauce to the menu))

Thank you for a great evening, great service and beautiful food Definitely coming again soon 😊

Lovely cooked, tasty meals at very good value. Gammon cooked very well with home made chips and lots of accompaniments. Excellent. My wife's burger was also excellent. We will visit again. All washed down with a great cask ale.

Good food at the crown elsecar , starter’s garlic mushrooms delicious lasagna and salmon for mains and real chips , delicious food good service reasonably priced , definitely visiting again

Absolutely amazing food !! The service was very good friendly service .

Had a lovely Sunday dinner there

Found this place by accident. Little gem! Staff lovely and friendly, nothing is too much trouble. 3 of us had the Sunday roast, absolutely gorgeous with the best gravy in the world, made with meat juices. Will definitely go again.

Came with friends for Christmas meal, food was delicious would highly recommend

I came here with my mate who is a local. The mixed grill was awesome annd had good quality meat and sausages. and Rebecca who served us was the right mix of attentive and efficient.

What a great traditional pub this is! Cask ales served to perfection and ample room for dining and casual drinks alike. You can choose from a traditional pub bar side room, or the more modern dining area. We had the homemade pies, which were delicious - clean plates all round! Would highly recommend! Fairly priced too and very friendly, welcoming staff.

My sister and I called in for some lunch and felt a very warm welcome from the moment we arrived the service was fantastic Jack and Vic were brilliant nothing was too much trouble the food was gorgeous a throughly lovely experience and will be calling in again thank you to the staff at the crown xxxx

Great food and atmosphere. Jack was very welcoming and made us feel at home. Will come again.

Lovely little pub well run friendly staff

Food was excellent, hot, tasty. Had the beef Sunday roast, which was the best I've tasted in a long time in a pub.

We have previously come here for a drink as we live so close but never had food. Took our parents to The Crown for dinner last night- staff are really welcoming and the food was great. We will definitely come again.

Visited the place as a group of 7 last Sunday at 1pm. It wasn't busy and we managed to get a table with no booking. We were told we can't have our roasts served together as we paid separately. I was the first to receive my order and asked to have my Yorkshire pudding replaced immediately as it was burnt and dry, they discarded entire plate and came back with a pudding just a bit less burnt than the previous one and forgot to put mash on the plate. Everyone from my party agreed that was the worst pudding they ever ate - dry and burnt. It's a shame especially as we had guests from abroad and it might be the only roast they will ever eat. Meats were nice and juicy, probably because they just started serving. All trimmings were definetly not made to order as we received food within 5 minutes of ordering. Worst Sunday roast of my life and wouldn't recommend it. Best part of the meal was a pint of Guiness. Ironically, we were asked to leave a review as it's under new management - so there you go.

What can I say the boar scotch egg for starters was amazing. A big well done to the chef. 👏 Jack the bartender and waiter was spot on, nothing was too much trouble. 👌 A very warm and welcoming place. Would definitely visit again. 👍

Best Sunday lunch in ages. Very thing was piping hot

Had the turkey dinner, the Yorkshire pudding was lovely really enjoyed that, it was well presented the roast potatoes weren’t nice tasted deep fried. The lasagne needed more pasta layers as only one layer of pasta but was told tasted nice. Apple crumble was a let down more like a bowl of stewed apples with a dusting of crumble but again tasted good so mixed bag really. And the pub was so cold not sure if they had a problem with the heating but it was very cold everyone was eating with coats on. Staff were nice and friendly and prices not too bad. Would we go back yes probably

Great little pub serving lovely food with a nice atmosphere and great service. Highly recommend.

Great little pub, highly recommend a visit. Lovely food and very reasonably priced overall. Outstanding staff - welcoming, friendly and professional….Rebecca was a star. We will definitely be returning soon.

Had a great meal and a fantastic pint of Neck Oil

Visited today where we had Sunday dinner, It was delicious. Service was top notch and a lovely atmosphere. Excellent real ale too.

Lovely place, Rebecca looked after us all, made sure we all had everything we needed and was really nice and friendly with the kids. Food and dessert were very nice too!

Came today and was served by Rebecca, the food was absolutely stunning and amazing value for money! Atmosphere was lovely too! Would recommend the crown to anyone, new management are fabulous!

We visited The Crown on 23rd November to celebrate my daughter’s graduation and family birthdays. We had a wonderful evening, the atmosphere was great the food was fantastic and the service was second to none. From booking to leaving on the night the staff were really friendly and helpful, nothing was too much trouble. We wish the new tenants the best of luck, but I’m sure they won’t need it if our experience was anything to go by x

What a lovely little gem of a place. Just under new management. Very friendly staff. The food is excellent. We will definitely be calling regularly in the future. For locals, the chips are as good as Saville's 🙂

Lovely staff and lovely food. We go to a lot of pubs and we thought we’d call in to see what it’s like. We got a warm welcome from the staff and seated and served quickly. Service was good and the food was lovely and homemade, they catered to my needs of being a picky eater and nothing was too much trouble for them! Definitely be coming back and eating here again. They’re also dog friendly which helps as our dog can come with us 🐾 thank you! x

A lovely find. A warm welcome, delicious food, lovely friendly staff. Nothing to much trouble. Meal was well presented. The chips were amazing. It’s dog friendly which is a plus. Thank you Rebecca.

Just been here with my 2 friends. Staff lovely and friendly. Great pub food..especially the steak 🥧 the Christmas decorations look great x

Amazing. Staff are very friendly and approachable, can’t do enough for you. Food is lovely. Homemade quality and plentiful.

Food very nice and hot enjoyed every bit off it service excellent staff and manger real friendly recommend to any one to go there

First time visit 17th Nov 2023 nice friendly welcome good selection of beers food we had two fish and chips and a burger and fries food was tasty we will be going back

Couldn't knock the food at all, delicious. Good selection for vegetarians and plenty to choose from all round. Very friendly staff and went out of their way to make you feel welcome. Definitely recommend and 100% will come back

First visit and it was superb from the greeting to the farewell. It’s not often you get great value on price and experience so well done! And learning that the managers have only been here for a week it will only improve I’m sure!

Absolutely stunning food excellent atmosphere, will definitely be visiting the crown again in the near future.

Amazing food! Highly recommend the steak pie. Lovely friendly staff and dog friendly! Looking forward to returning soon.

The Chicken, Ham & Leek Pie was amazing! Gravy served in its own pot, so the option of a light drizzle or swimming was a nice touch. Really nice traditional pub with a great menu

Popped in for lunch today. Vic looked after us really well, had the buttermilk chicken burger with chilli, it was beautifully cooked by head chef Derek and the homemade chips were amazing, good portion sizes, will definitely be returning 😋

Came in for lunch today, wasn't disappointed had lasagne made by the head chef Derek it was delicious 😋 Vic serving was very welcoming and friendly, thank you guys for a lovely service

No food available we stayed in the room only ,lovely and clean great value for money .clean warm and cosy very welcoming staff.would recommended

Good selection of beer and good food.

Love our food. Best steak and real chips. And amazing atmosphere x

Visited this pub after seeing Wentworth Woodhouse. Great service and the food was superb. It was off the budget menu but still tasted great . Friendly and attentive barmaid. I've marked the atmosphere 4stars because we were the only one in on a late afternoon

I visited the crown inn for food with my friend, Beautiful food, great atmosphere and great service. Really enjoyed our visit! Some great gluten free options which is a bonus!!

Was unsure but outstanding. Lovely cosy atmosphere. Food menu good selection. Had to wait a while for food but it was worth the wait. Fresh cooked food good size portions

Called in for some lunch, very disappointed with our meals, the chips were like rubber, presentation abysmal. Certainly won’t go back

Went earlier in the week Chilli con carne BRILLIANT Took my wife for SUNDAY LUNCH. BEST SUNDAY LUNCH EVER PLENTY ON YOUR PLATE & VOOKED TO PERFECTION WE WILL RETURN OF COURSE

My first trip to The Crown Inn, recommended by a friend. I had steak pie, chips and mushy peas. The chips were the "proper" ones your nan used to cook in the chip pan, amazing! The pie was full of meat and a fully crusted pie, none of this stew with a lid nonsense . Absolutely loved it, I will be returning. And (on Friday) there's a bit of a disco / music which was fantastic.

Lived in Hoyland almost four years now and this is the first time I’ve been. We had a lovely lunch, the lady working the bar was so nice, she recommended the crown fest which sounds so good! The price was really affordable too! Will definitely be back - the beer garden looks brill!

This pub is always so friendly and welcoming! A great selection of real ale and gin. A fantastic pub!

Lovely pub, friendly staff, excellent food, had to wait a hot sec for our food, but they were cooking for our huge party of 20+ people so is totally understandable & we then ordered a lot of add ons & extra sides after that which were served to us almost immediately, as well as serving & cooking for any other customers at the time! Went on an extremely hot day & inside the the pub was still nice & cool, menu also quite large & has loads of options, including Italian options which were delicious & reasonably priced!

Dreadful risotto, like porridge and had to pay for it. Such a shame when all their other meals are great.

We came for lunch and we’re given the main menu plus a snack one so lots of choice. The staff were friendly and welcoming as usual and we were served very quickly. The food was hot, well cooked and very tasty as well as being very good value. We are very lucky to have this pub on out doorstep.

Nice pub with lots of space indoors and out... hopefully, the outside area will be summer ready and smartened up soon.

Arrived at 17 55, had a table booked for 18.00, ordered food at 18.10, still waiting for food to arrive at 19.00, asked what the delay was, lame excuse about waiting for my pork chop to cook (it dont take 1 hour to cook a pork chop), eventually the food arrived, WOW what a complete waste of time that had been, the home cooked chips were disgusting, they tasted like they had been cooked for an hour and left in old cooking fat and then warmed back-up, the onion rings were full of fat, I picked one up and fat run through my fingers, started on the pork chop this was rock hard and dry as a bone, the other meal we ordered was a burger with chilli on, this wasn't much better than the sorry state of a plate of food I had been served, the best thing about all the food that was served were the tomatoes, sure to say that we wont be going back here again. I'm so disappointed!!!!!!!!!

We are regulars at the Crown and the staff are absolutely lovely. We recently went for lunch and the food was amazing!!!!! It was so nice we booked a table of 10 for Sunday lunch and honestly the food was absolutely lovely....... I called in advance because some of my awkward children won't eat Sunday lunch and they accommodated us....... Lovely food and lovely staff and owners ❤️

Good beer good food and good staff

Nice little pub, only a couple of beers but very nicely kept

Good food great service well priced

Another beautiful meal. Friendly staff

Lovely atmosphere, gorgeous food and great staff.

Lovely food and staff. Just the waiting time was a bit long for food. It was about an hour after ordering and it wasn't busy as we were the only ones in at the time for food.

What amazing value and what delightful people. Could not rate the pub higher, as i felt welcome and conversation flowed. Will return.

Had a tasty meal at the crown all home cooked. Try the nachos there a taste sensation and home made cheesecake. Very welcoming atmosphere.

I attended a family funeral here, the service was brilliant and the buffet was exceptional. I would highly recommend!!

A nice atmosphere with great food and drinks.

Really nice Sunday lunch, home made, good sized portion, tasty and good price. Friendly staff , quick service. Will definitely be back.

Just had a lovely Sunday lunch here at The Crown and can really recommend it. The pub has recently started serving food again and we’re so happy to have such a great place as our local. The service is always friendly and welcoming, the drinks selection is fab and we always enjoy our visit. Kyle and Nigel are great hosts and we’re looking forward to coming again soon.

I had a lovely evening here. The staff were very polite and service was prompt. I will visit again.

Only just opened so not serving food until January so will go back and try the food,I'm following them on Facebook, it's situated in Hoyland nr barnsley

Great place, friendly staff, good pint highly recommend

Well presented pub. Fresh & modern interior, seating in a spacious conservatory area (plenty of seating throughout), large outdoor area with accommodated shelter for rainy days (nicely lit). The Crown now do cocktails which I highly recommend (have 2 for X amount offers). Various themed nights on an evening too. - Friendly staff and reasonably priced. All round nice place to be!

Friendly staff and well run pub. Food available and room for hire. Nice beer garden ,gazebo and out door furniture. Nothing seems too much trouble for the hosts. Prices are very reasonable too.

Enthusiastic friendly staff and customers. Great Cask Marque real ales and great value Sunday dinners. A great welcome awaits you. Has dog friendly areas.

Good night,good beer , good quiz in all terrific time was had by all

Friendly local pub. Popped in with husband for refreshment during a walk. Lovely little pit stop, hubby very happy with the beer choice.

Great pub never intended to give it 1 star I'm technically inept we have just had my partners 70th birthday there on Saturday they couldn't do enough for us and a brilliant buffet too the kareoke was good and put up with sweet Caroline at the end which was over and above what anyone could have to endure lol please visit the pub if you are in Elsecar for some great Yorkshire hospitality I was unaware I'd given them 1 star three years ago and I'm so sorry it took so long to put it right shows what good beer they sell lol
