The Joseph Bramah in Barnsley

Very nice food. Harley is very friendly and helpful and the atmosphere is great but can get a little busy. The staff will help at any opportunity they can

Love the service and atmosphere, always welcoming and friendly. Foods great and staff always helpful. Harley was really sweet and the drinks were cold as ICE!!

Food lovely, staff really friendly. Unfortunately carpets need a clean as smell of gone off spilt beer as you walk in, tables not getting cleaned regularly. The hot drinks station isn't being looked after, mess all over, no tea bags, no sugar. I understand that this is a busy town centre location but the basics are not being maintained to usually Wetherspoon standards.

It is a massive Wetherspoons We only had breakfast but the young lady that served us was very nice and helpful

Had fish and chips mushy peas and would have given five stars but the peas were only luke warm,, but cracking fish and chips.

It's a Weatherpoon pub, don't expect the Ritz, it's a good place always clean and tidy and staff are attentive

Harley is the best server, if shes not serving me i tend to walk out

Excellent place, as are all wetherspoons, loses a star for atmosphere because they have got rid of the dj, and dance floor??????????. WHY??????? it's killed the atmosphere, yes they still play music, but not as good as a actual dj and dance floor.

Very good cheap alcohol prices. Nice pub. Very big.

A good place to catch up with friends

A great pub restaurant serving very reasonably priced food the staff were very friendly & service was excellent, it's never going to win a Michelin star but it's decent food at a reasonable price, the place comes alive on weekend nights especially Saturdays it's a great venue for couples or groups to enjoy.

Well gone in here for breakfast, one got bean allergy and one gluten free ordered at the bar, no problem just swap items for what you can eat so made it so easy thankyou 100% recommend

Typical Town Centre Wetherspoons. A magnet for drunks

It's a Spoons. Does exactly what it says on the tin. We had the all day brunch (under a fiver with unlimited refills of coffee - cheaper than doing it yourself at home). We also had the ramen noodles and it was delicious. (But of a gamble but paid off, well done). Can't wait to come back next time we are in Barnsley.

Went for my birthday and had some drinks was very nice! Server called Dylan was lovely and very helpful- Thank you :)

Food arrived promptly tonight. We enjoyed our visit, staff are friendly and helpful.

Fab service from Lana Baxter. She was informative when asking for cocktail recommendations and very polite.

Local and favourite pub, service always prompt and lovely atmosphere. Lana served me on my last visit, she was fantastic and very knowledgeable about the drinks.

Haha a panni was well done , very little filling in , was disappointed

Very clean staff are very friendly food and drinks are definitely worth the price

Great food, lovely staff especially Lana.

Local spoons, lovely staff and atmosphere, served by the lovely Lana

Very Clean Pub, Very Welcoming and Food is lovely for the price.

Affordable and child friendly. Amazing food. Options for vegetarians available.

lovely pub, friendly staff and very cheap!

I called in quite recently to have a meal and catch up with a friend. We were greeted by a lovely young lady called Lana behind the bar, she was friendly , helpful and very informative. Would highly recommend a visit.

Typical wetherspoons good choice of beer at fair prices friendly staff

Staff are nice and happy to deal with any problems you may have buy a coffee get free refills for the of the time your there food is great for the price. Kid friendly fair priced for food and drinks

I've seen cleaner toilets in rural French roadside services in the 90s.

Quite possibly our best Wetherspoons experience ever! Never had better service anywhere in the world.

Been in twice this week for a meal to Joseph Bramah, Wetherspoons in Barnsley. Both times items were left off the ordered meals. On Wednesday the fried egg was missing from the ordered large mixed grill meal & Friday the extra sausage ordered with the large breakfast was missing. It’s not the first time items have been missing from the specified food order. It’s a very friendly place & the staff are always apologetic for the error & the missing food item is delivered very quickly. Obviously the staff in the kitchen are at fault.

Good atmosphere good price drinks not too load sonyou could still socialise

Good food and drink at a reasonable place.

This time, I was pleasantly surprised that I could have a free top-up of coffee while I waited for my friend. However, only one of the coffee machines was working and only offered tea, hot chocolate, or milk. Better luck next time.

Nice place but can't get a seat for all collage students.

We had ramen, jacket potato, hamburger, and margherita pizza. In my opinion, it’s not a place to go for food. The pizza was terrible, the ramen had no flavor, and the jacket potato was really bad. It’s a place you would enjoy more if you go just to have drinks.

Central WetherSpoons. As you would expect.

It doesn't know if it is an eatery, or a pub, there is no flow, to the atmosphere,.....Not for me, plenty of prostitutes, are in and out who make a lot if money from the paying customers,

Ok, but a bit rough round the edges

Poor experience at breakfast. Overcharged, order came wrong and drinks machines either out of order or not delivering drinks properly. We travel around using Wetherspoons regularly and have found this branch to be the worst yet.

A tad expensive but your paying for the mixology really.

Burgers have greatly improved and are very tasty.

I had a meeting with some acquaintances today, we were sat outside where a complete "Barnsley" drunk approached us, verbally abused us. Even bystanders tried to help but not the Joseph Employees... Good job, You had 6 people leave your premises for good, not nice doing business with you. "Proper Brish Experience".

Horrific toilets some of the worst I encountered during lunch time, no way would I eat here!!

Probably best spoons I've been in. Don't really like spoons but they serve a purpose when you don't know where you are and need a refreshment.

Left review in July. Things no better. Stayed downstairs this time in case still cold upstairs. Not really warm downstairs but passable. Ordered at the bar. 2 all day brunch 2 drinks. Young girl brought food out.....2 ham egg and chips! Told her I ordered 2 brunches. Took it away to the bar, came back with it and said you ordered this. No I didn't. Said again ordered 2 brunch. Took it away. Came back with receipt from bar saying ham egg and chips x2. Obviously the bar staff member hit the wrong button as I didn't order that. Said would sort it out though. Food came again as a brunch but obviously with same eggs and chips as they were both freezing 🥶. Couldn't be ar...d complaining again. One of the worst meals I have ever had in wetherspoons. Young girl came after and said were meals OK? Said no it was freezing! No comment no sorry. Didn't go and tell anybody Also very slow at clearing tables. Not once did i see a table cleaned. Last time we will visit there. Best advice close this one and reopen The Silkstone. Was FAR better there

Very good and nice not long to wait for the meal. Good service

Don't leave your drink unattended while you go to toilet..it was picked up bay staff and emptied. I did ask but they weren't bothered. Was 2 full drinks. Really wasn't happy

Honestly a pretty great Spoons. Love the atmosphere and don't mind the other customers as they often just keep themselves to themselves and staff are always on-hand to sort any issues out quickly.

I like this place it's a pub and has good honest priced food on Their menu. And it's cooked well . So I like it . And it's local 👌

Missing toast off breakfast. Even told staff and still didn't get my toast.

Bigger inside than out. As usual a good spoons

A typical Wetherspoons pub in the centre of Barnsley. What you see is what you get. Good prices plus a really nice beer garden.

Didn't eat just drank. Was ok from what I remember

Food always came out very quick and was cooked well. Great selection of drinks, Friendly service.

Food is what you expect from Witherspoons. Value for what you pay. A waiter dropped two slices of toast outside the kitchen and despite numerous people coming in and out of the kitchen nobody could be arsed to pick it up. After 20 minutes I picked it up as fed up of staff walking over it! Not the best advertisement for Witherspoons.

A nice spoons . Lovely cheap breakfast with fast friendly service . I came over from Huddersfield and called in for a couple of pints and some breakfast . Wasn't disappointed at all 👍

Food not the best, but ok. Great price for drinks and table service. Cheap and cheerful.

Horrible rough pub. The food both times were not edible, stone cold, too bad to even throw in the bin.

Tried the limited edition sticky Korean fried chicken bowl...was lovely would recommend and will be having again...

Been a regular at this place for years, however tried the advertised special large cardboard display on the bar as a spicy chicken concoction. Table 124 uper level as dated of today This is a combo of left overs on main menu of chips chicken pieces , chicken strips chilli's in a spicy sauce chucked in together .came out Luke warm , sent it back came out again totally inedible. Complained to bar staff who.passed me and my friend to Josh team leader Expressed concerns he was jot willing to hear our complaint so much so my friend was banned from buying a drink from the bar upstairs .Went downstairs spoke to a member if staff who has known us as customers for tears by this time I wa in tears due to the treatment I had received prior to this .After further discussion my friend and I were asked to.leave my friends drink was taken fro m her .we had 3 glasses of wine not drunk and we both will be 70 it's old this month Disgusting customer service and treatment of elderly female customers .

Typical spoons A night out without breaking the bank

Sorry to say this but the place was horrible. The seats were dirty, the tables sticky and I spear you details about the state of the toilets! Shame!

Went twice in the same day no issues but came back later on for a third time and when the bouncers rotated, got denied entry because I was wearing shorts (late 20s and to be fair I look more like a nerd with glasses more than a troublemaking chav)... bear in mind 25C summer heat, I was not going to go home and come back with jeans... food and drinks are spot on just a shame the bouncers don't have any common sense with dress code when the weather is warm. I could have snuck in through the back entrance but decided to move on. So if you're wearing shorts in the summer, be aware you might not get in. 5/5 food 1/5 bouncers so overall 3/5

Great food, good variety of drinks, pleasant courteous staff, really enjoyed the Korean sticky chicken bowl highly recommend 👌

Pleasantly surprised with lovely outdoor beer garden area, as all Wetherspoons pubs, prices perfect.

Lovely polite staff, would recommend

Cheap and cheerful as you'd expect. Food ok, drinks good. Had a variety, service was quick, especially for a Friday night!

what’s happening to portions of food? stuff very friendly, prices best, waiting tike GREAT, just food portions cut like 20-30 % over last year..

We visited in July as usual while shopping. Yes it's July but wasn't red hot outside so certainly didn't need air con on FULL BLAST! Absolutely freezing. Mentioned it to a girl and a chap but neither did anything about it. Moved tables twice but made no difference. Never been so cold in a pub. Ordered food that came quickly but was cold within 5 minutes due to the air con. Food was good. Nice to see they have the cheaper menu on. Good value. Think members of staff ought to have a set uniform. A girl had a skirt on that looked like a big belt it was so short. I agree with a previous review about closing the Silkstone. That pub was far better than this one.

Had drink in the outdoor patio. Very comfortable area with quite lush planting.

Our usual Wetherspoon's has closed down so we paid a rare visit to Joseph Bramah's. The place was fairly empty so no problem finding a table. We ordered the boneless basket (3 chicken strips and 5 battered breast chunks) and our drinks through the app. We waited 20 minutes for our meals which arrived minus the 5 chunks. The server was confused about why they were missing but walked away and didn't do anything about it until he came past us again with another order and we pointed it out, so he took them back to get sorted. We then had to tell him we'd not even got our drinks which he told us he was going to sort those out. This meant another long wait because we were upstairs and that bar didn't have ice or one of the drinks that we order. When we finally got our meals the only thing that was hot were the chicken chunks that hadn't been put on in the first place. Very disappointing service. They closed the wrong one when they closed the Silkstone.

Typical 'Spoons. Who doesn't love a Spoons. 👍

I've been to lots of Wetherspoon restaurants but have to say this one is the best so far. Food was lovely and came out quickly. I couldn't fault anything! It had such friendly staff and a lovely atmosphere, will definitely be going again and recommending to everyone x

Ordered the fish and chips, my food delivered very quicky and was piping hot, probably the best Wetherspoons fish and chips I've ever had, the fish was huge! Served at the bar really quickly, the staff were really friendly, promoting an excellent atmosphere. Definitely going back soon!

Lovely food and service! Definitely would go back.

Always decent food, good priced pints. Just your typical wetherspoons. The staff are normally on the ball keeping tables clear etc. Toilets are normally always clean. Can't complain for a busy town pub & grub.

Decent food for the price and most of the staff are lovely, couldn't give 5⭐ as the lift is always broken and they let non disabled people into the disabled toilet causing genuine disabled people issues

Friendly staff, food is decent and arrives in a reasonable time. Fair atmosphere

It's a very decent meal just not a big variety 😋 but still good 👌

Staff great food is as expected nothing special, no music or atmosphere.

some lass i met on roblox said this is the best wetherspoons in the country git up mush

Had to go find out where my drink was then was told they didn't have our food and pick something else

Great place to start the night in town

Cheap and cheerful,bit dark and dingy.food average but an ok place

Nice big two-story bar. Lots of tables inside and outside. No place to dance, which is not nice.

Great place to grab lunch and a drink

Two of us had the small fish and chips. Very good and the batter on the fish was perfect. Other meal was lasagne. That too was good. Staff polite.

Love this little treasure brillant

Enjoyed the food service was quick.

Good Witherspoons. Clean toilets (can't comment on disabled facilities). Quick service even though it was very busy.

An excellent venue to relax with cheap larger and in the middle of Barnsley Town centre, whats not to like, today had a breakfast and pint of Newcastle Brown pint cost £2.77

It's a Witherspoon, you know what you are getting, affordable food

ordered chips and when i had already started eating them the waitress came over and said that they weren’t mine and took them to another table. found hairs in the food. tried to give other people our food and gave us extra drinks we didn’t order. all round just not a good experience, especially to say it wasn’t even busy so there’s just no excuse really

The pub offers budget-friendly meals, though they're just average in taste and presentation. However, the staff's politeness and courtesy elevate the experience, making it a decent spot for a casual meal on a budget.

Friendly and quick service. Only downside is it's popular...which is kind of the point.

The meal and drinks were delivered speedily and was a reasonable cost.

Great place when it first opened, needs to buck it's ideas up during the day, food mediocre stop trying to serve fast food instead of good hot food.

Dark and dismal. It's just had a makeover . Dreadful choice of colour. Come on Tim , get your team together!

Good staff in a very busy atmosphere
