The Golden Ball Inn in Rotherham

We had a fabulous meal for 5 last night. The best pub meal I can remember. I had fish and chips. The fish was huge. The chips crispy. Mushy peas and tartar sauce finished it off nicely. My friends had a salad, curry, pie and pizza. Everyone was very happy with the food and the service from Louise & Bev.

Nothing. The quality of the food is great Having a voucher is good as well

Excellent Sunday dinner, trio was spot on, the Mrs had sea bass and loved it. Lovely pub, very friendly staff.

Lovely Sunday lunch,staff very friendly and good service

Excellent service and friendly staff, I have dined at a few high end restaurants and this was most certainly up there with the best of them for perfection, will certainly recommend and visit again

Very good food. Quick, efficient and friendly service. Good choice of food and drinks.

Service was good and very helpful, bar staff friendly and inviting. I was driving so would have been nice to have had a couple of Guinness 0%

We have been before as a family as we enjoyed the busy friendly atmosphere... However on this occasion it was not as enjoyable! It was very busy, and we had to wait at our table (15mins ish) before getting a drink, BUT this was not the issue! The issue was when we came to order our drinks, I myself ordering a bottle of wine, for me and my daughter. At this point the server asked for some ID. which in itself is completely normal... not on this occasion. She stood gawking at the ID for at least 3 mins, saying to my daughter "born in 2001 were you"???? and holding it towards the light so she could "see better"!!! When she had eventually finished I said "Wow" that was intense! Which she replied, "yeah well I have to be sure" Let me just start by saying I completely understand the importance of ID checks and the management of under age drinking is something I fully support! However, my daughter is 22, and looks it! and for her to be humiliated like that in the middle of a busy restaurant in my opinion was completely unnecessary! We were out as a family having a meal on a Friday night in Whiston for goodness sake! having a glass of wine with her meal! Like I said originally I fully support ID Checks but just a word of advice...Teach your staff to ask for its respectfully!! We wont be revisiting...

My friend had to send a steak sandwich back as it was chewy, but it was dealt with efficiently and without a fuss, she ordered a chicken burger and it was really good. We all had a good experience.

Food was nice. No issue with service other than it was busy and they looked a bit under staffed on the day we visited.

Fantastic meal and great service from all the staff,nothing to much trouble.would highly recommended

Absolutely great place, food excellent, service - spot on and a wonderful place . Can’t rate it highly enough

Very tasty well prepared and presented food, good choice on the menu, have registered on the Vintage Inns rewards club , great introductory offer. Excellent service in well maintained surroundings. Will be going again soon. Plenty of parking in dedicated car park, always been a good feature of this pub over the 40 years or so I have been using it.

Enjoyed a lovely meal on Easter Sunday. Thank you to Mackenzie and Tania for looking after us xx

Great charming character pub, quality fixtures and fittings, big car park, dog friendly, great location

Food was great, Service was great, especially Louise who was very knowledgeable about the menu and gave some excellent recommendations.

Lovely pub, staff were great, being able to take our dog in and actually being able to have a meal with him with us at the table was brilliant, (most dog friendly pubs only allow them in but not in the dining area)and they accommodated our request of a quiet corner table, meal was excellent, will definitely be returning 🙂

The Golden Ball Inn has a great atmosphere with a diverse clientele, good for all ages. The beer is good, the food is good and the service was great. We had a nice relaxed meal.

Visited today first time for a long time, looking for a new favourite pub/restaurant to visit regularly, food was excellent, drinks more expensive that most pubs, had joined reward scheme as a new visitor and wanted to use £20 discount offer but QR code wouldn’t work and staff member said this is a recurring issue, so we didn’t get the discount. If this is a recurring problem then find a way around it and give the customer what is promised! Won’t be using any vintage pubs if this is the way customers are treated!

Took mum for mothers day. Amelia and Bev were great and really made every effort to ensure we were all ok. Will be back.

Party of six celebrating a birthday/late Mothers Day. Service was quick, efficient and friendly but not intrusive. Everything brought to table hot and as ordered. Big thanks to Louise, Amelia and Ryan who looked after us really well. Will definitely return.

Fantastic service by Louise and Amelia. One of my favourite places to eat. Lovely atmosphere, very clean and polite staff. Food outstanding.

Great service great food. Service by Bev and Louise always excellent . We asked to move tables nothing was too much trouble.

Had great service by Louisee and bev and the food and price was great

Bev and Tania were great. Food was delicious.

Fantastic meal at the Golden Ball, great homemade lasagne and the pork belly was delicious. Amelia, our server was great and attentive, and nothing was too much trouble 😊

Love this place Louise is the best !❤️

As a work team we often pop to The Golden Ball for a celebration meal. The food is always spot on and even if we are a large group our meals all come out at once (sign of a great, organised kitchen!) Shout out to Bev & Louise for their great service.

Louise was really nice and service was wonderful

Lovely atmosphere and friendly staff

Lovely, friendly service from Amy, Bev, Tania and Ryan

Food fresh and good. Staff very pleasant A little pricy

It can be so difficult to eat out healthily. Really healthily, and have a pleasing tasty meal. The greens and grains salad fits the bill. Low in calories and saturated fats it oozes flavours as well bright colours of different salad vegetables and fruit.

Service is excellent, food is excellent what more can I say

Oh my, what a fantastic place to eat. I’ve eaten here for the third time today and went for Sunday roast. It was cooked to perfection and everyone else I was with said the same. Highly recommended. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Lovely food, atmosphere, selection of drink and staff, was served our Sunday lunch by bev and Tania who were very happy and helpful

We booked the Golden Ball for our work Christmas meal again this year after having a great time there last Christmas. The festive menu has some great choices and even though we were a large group all the meals came out at the same time...

Lovely little pub with lots of books and crannies to sit in. Really friendly team. Food was good and reasonable value for 3 for £10 on tapas. App to order at the table but for some reason the drinks part wasn't working. Nice Christmas feel to the place

We went yesterday with our family for Sunday dinner. We sat next to the fire. Its a lovely quaint pub and very cosy. We ordered the roast Turkey with all the trimmings! It was absolutely amazing. The food was fantastic and the service was spot...

Good service and catered for my gluten free needs well. The food was good quality and presented well

Lovely staff and great food Ryan and Mckenzie were really helpful and was no problem when we wanted to swap sides.

We come to this pub most weeks as it such a warm, welcoming and friendly pub. The atmosphere is always lovely and the staff are fantastic. The food is always top notch too! Would recommend this pub to anyone!

My wife and her team of Marie Curie nurses had a Christmas Meal on Monday 4th Dec. From first booking, to placing advance food orders, to reception upon arrival, then the food and service - everything was exceptional. Fantastic food and the management and staff could not have been more efficient or more friendly and more accommodating. Well Done Vintage Inns and thank you Golden Ball Whiston.

We had a fantastic meal at the Golden Ball. The staff are great,especially Ryan and the food was lovely. We ate from the festive menu and all courses didn’t disappoint. A bonus that the bar area is dog friendly
