The Milton Arms in Barnsley

Our meal was lovely, lovely staff but to have dogs in the eating area. We love animals but the loud barking and wet dog smell from a dog sat at side of our table was a no no, really put us off our food..I understand its a dog friendly pub but they should be areas for dogs and it's not in the eating area..

Met a fab bar lady Jenny ! Made it a great excuse 👏 , 5 stars ++++

Beautiful food , the terriaki pork beautiful, dessert coconut and raspberry cake was 1st class beautiful! Service was amazing, thanku xx

Delicious food! I haven't eaten this much in a long time 😊

Lovelybpib, excellent food brilliant service A****

We booked the Milton Arms for an evening meal having not visited since the last owners left. We were expecting a refurbished dining area but were disappointed to find still old tables and chairs spaced around the edges of the room not being very comfortable. The bar had been extended taking more room up in the bar area but we could not see any improvement for diners comfort. We did not see the garden room having decided diners had taken dogs in with them. Under the last owners the pub had kept its traditional feel but was always sparkling clean and welcoming to eat a meal. We didn’t feel this yesterday evening. However the staff were very friendly and helpful and we did enjoy our food. The only reason we wouldn’t book again is because of the lack of diners comfort, the ‘restaurant side’ needs updating if you want to call it a restaurant.

We didn't fancy anything on the menu so only had drinks. Lovely pub, nice decor and great beer garden.

After a very long and tiring drive, dad and I just wanted a plate of honest, hearty food. I had read about The Milton Arms in advance, and we opted for the homemade steak pie, mushy peas, thick cut chips and gravy. Boy, didn’t hit the spot! 🤤🤤🤤 Full marks!

Very lovely quiet country pub. Food was excellent. Very quick service.

Best Sunday beef dinner I've had for a long time. Lovely staff and service. Highly recommended.

We called in on a Friday for the deal of homemade pie,chips and peas with gravy. Wow, proper chips, a superb pie and exceptional gravy. All washed down with a great selection of drinks. Highly recommended 👌

Lovely family friendly pub friendly staff and good food

Just had the coconut and raspberry cake for dessert. Amazing.

My first visit with my daughter & her family was a huge success. After an outing to Elsecar so my little granddaughter could play & feed the ducks. We walked to the Pub for a Sunday dinner. The atmosphere was lovely and staff very professional. Our meals were exceptionally well prepared. I would highly recommend the Milton Arms for a fabulous experience.

Had the most amazing day for our sons Christening. We had over a 100 guests and everyone said how brilliant the day was and how lovely the food was and that there was more than enough to go around! Couldn’t have wished for anything more. Thank you! 😊

My grandson's christening was held here yesterday. Wow what an amazing place. The buffet was lovely (and plentiful). The staff so friendly and the indoor and outdoor space was amazing. Beautiful beer garden perfect for the hot weather. Thank you so much

Came here for food as it's quite close to us and wow the food is amazing, we tried some of their street food and it was absolutely beautiful. Had dessert as well and couldn't believe the quality. The staff are lovely and friendly as well, highly recommended

Food great, staff amazing, nice drinks on tap and great cocktails.

Always good. Lovely staff great food

Excellent Sunday lunch. The food was beautiful, everything cooked to perfection. I was really impressed. Lovely and efficient staff. Thank you

Easter Sunday visit for lunch for a family of 7. Service was 1st class from the friendly team. The pub was busy. The food was amazing !! Delicious roasts of pork and beef, 4 vegetables, roast and mash potatoes and Yorkshire pudding!! One word Delicious !!

Nice food, good service Could be a little more choice on the menu

We went on a Sunday it was busy but staff were good and not much wait time

Real ale is currently £4.80 for a big glass. £3.50 is the cost in the other two village pubs..

All lovely, home made food. Good timings served by friendly, helpful staff.

Food is amazing, and staff are very welcoming. Would definitely recommend.

Ons real ale on my visit, was good.

Went for Sunday lunch everything cooked to perfection. Perfectly presented and value for money . Just had an issue with bill but was sorted quickly and professionally. Went to the fox and hounds at newmillerdam previously and this Sunday lunch beats it . We'll worth a visit

Food not up to standard of what we paid for (£75 per head for Christmas dinner) - turkey pink and items missing from menu. Was one of the first tables seated and was told we couldn't have coffees as no milk. After hardly eating anything got charged extra for 2 fruit shoots for the kids! Won't be going back.

Fantastic experience from start to finish.

Lovely food this evening, relaxed atmosphere and good service.

fantastic service and the food was delicious

Lovely meal with good service and friendly atmosphere

First time in, really enjoyed it and the customers were very friendly, definitely going back, and the food smells amazing 👏

The food was excellent and staff really helpful

The food was gorgeous and as 2 veggies it was the best lasagne we've ever had, beaut. Service was spot on too. We will definitely be back.

I went to the Milton last night, for the first time in a long time, knowing the place was under new management. I ordered a drink and after a few sips I came to the conclusion that the syrup for the lemonade was gone, working in pubs myself I knew this was the case, a waitress (short girl lovely long hair) came into the room I was sat at and I brought it up to her. She took the drink and said she would rectify it. Then she came back a few moments later and said that the General Manager said he wouldn’t “renew” the drink and that I had to buy a completely new one. Not ideal considering it’s not my duty to make sure the lemonade and other postmix syrups are functioning. Anyway we got another drink and moved tables. The room we entered was cluttered with cups, glasses, wrappers and all sorts of other mess on quite a lot of tables. Another waitress then was wandering around clearing up and she missed a wrapper hidden behind a menu, so i mentioned it thinking I was being helpful, being a server I thought this was a nice thing to do. I said “oh you’ve missed a wrapper in that table” and to my surprise I was met with the response “clean it yourself” and I was taken aback because I couldn’t think what I’d done wrong. Maybe I’d stuck a nerve? Maybe customer service just isn’t something the Milton values anymore. Sad to see because in the past there were a great staff team, but seems to have gone downhill … won’t be going again sadly.

Blue Moon on pump, what more can you say.

Great staff, The young waitres that served me was very friendly, service came with a smile and she engaged in polite conversation. Lovely atmosphere

Alfredo Tagliatelle is the best I've had. Absolutely delicious. Highly recommend, good food, good vibe 😊

Great traditional pub . A really lovely well cookedl Sunday lunch, served by very pleasant, efficient staff. Would highly recommend

The Milton was always our go to for a great Sunday lunch, but sadly this visit will be our last. We have been to the Milton, mostly on a Sunday for the past four or five years and have always recommended it to others. However it has changed hands and I’m afraid has really gone downhill. Despite booking, we were squashed onto a small dog friendly table with our two dogs, when we asked if there was a bigger table, more at the edge of the room as one of our dogs was reactive, we were told they were fully booked (we were the only ones in at this point) fifteen minutes later a small group of people arrived, they hadn’t booked, but were shown to a large corner table with their dog. When I asked why they had been given that table and we were told it wasn’t available, the ‘manager’? told me the staff member must have been mistaken about being fully booked! No one else turned up for another hour, just as we were leaving! Now let’s get on to the food, it was so disappointing, we had brought my mum as a special treat as she hardly goes out and we had convinced her telling her the food is always lovely. The beef was practically inedible, some pieces were so chewy even the dogs struggled with it. Mum and myself managed half of one slice each. The roast potatoes were dry and the parsnips were hard. Absolutely gutted, the search begins again for a dog friendly pub serving a decent Sunday roast

Place was a bit quiet. Food was fantastic but a few requests at ordering were forgotten and had to be prompted.

The meal was delicious, the only slight criticism is we got offered a choice of pink or well-done beef. We chose pink, but it came out well done, but it didn't greatly spoil the meal. The service was great and the meal arrived very quickly.

Proper home cooked food. We went on a Sunday and had a sunday roast, kids sunday roast and a steak pie with chu ky chips. Absolutely fantastic....and plenty of it too. Great selection of draught beers, lagers and ciders. We liked it so much that we have booked their function room for my wife's 60th birthday party.

Came for a birthday meal. Sunday dinner was overpriced and not very filling. Beef was very fatty. Dinner came with leeks , a Yorkshire pudding , 1 carrot , 1 parsnip , 1 stem of broccoli, 1 roast potato and a bit of mash that was really claggy. The leeks and Yorkshire pudding were ok. Would be better if there was more on your plate such as more roast potatoes and even some stuffing. Drink isn’t a bad price.

Great place for families, will always recommend.

Really lovely family meal, one Coeliac diner, no problem separate fryers for GF, big menu really good tasty food, homemade steak pie awesome

First time visiting and eating here had house burger and wood fired pizza onion rings absolutely delicious 😋 would definitely recommend 😋

Had my Sunday Dinner delivered by Uber eats, all lovely, lots of it and we'll seasoned. We will definitely order again.

Delivered by Uber eats, chose the beef, all lovely, tasty and now I'm full up, thanks guys.

First time …. And the last. ! Ate with friends mid week, wasn’t overly warm for August and all doors open so felt cold and draughty in the restaurant. Ordered the “gourmet burger” with the added extras and “Carolina slaw”. ….. I’d have preferred a Big Mac from McDonald’s…. Probably a third of the price and much nicer ….. £16.95 ….. not good value for money at all. …. And the “slaw”….. well, RUBBISH

Really good pie. Ordered with fries. The chips come with the skin on which I don't like.

We did a family reunion meal there. They had a function on downstairs so we were in an upstairs room. They were ever so helpful both in booking it and on the evening. The buffet went down ever so well with the group. Honourable mentions to the homemade coleslaw and sausage rolls.

I didn't eat here and as such can't comment but I can say that the people here are very friendly and helpful and made me feel very welcome. The whole place is very nice and has good access and very comfortable surroundings. I took a look at the outside seating and weather permitting it looks very nice. My WiFi connected easily and the bar has a great selection of refreshments. A great place to take the family and this small village deserves a nice village pub and in the Milton Arms they certainly got one.

First time visit. Lovely staff and delicious food. We will be back!

Called in after work, good selection of beers and cocktails for the wife. Food was very good. Fast efficient service from friendly staff. Nice beer garden as well.

Food was OK. My granddaughters meal came last after we had nearly eaten all ours. Will try somewhere else next time

Lovely meal will definitely be back

We decided upon a mid-week meal and were happy that we could book on-line very easily. It was also a real positive to see the mid-week meal offer at £10-£12 including drinks. The service was very good and the food arrived promptly. The two pasta dishes were substantial, delicious and very rich. The sage was a little over-bearing and it could easily be seen why it my not be to everyone’s taste. The homemade sausage was quite the surprise when it arrived (see picture! 😳) but certainly tasted much better than it looked on the plate. Another very rich meal that certainly needed some vegetables to soften the blow somewhat. Overall very good and we’d certainly go back.

Lovely pub worth a visit Lovely restaurant and beer garden

Arrived after a nice relaxing walk. Fancied a nice relaxed cold beverage and decided the Milton. Apon arrival 9.18pm two staff member smoking outside and one male with black hair decided to say " these can f*** off" I never heard that but my partner did. We proceed into the bar where a very welcome bar man told us it was quite and they close early. Which we understand but comments like that is very unsettling and not very professional. Shame really as we really like the pub.

Very nice food and staff the pub is clean

Please don't travel and expect it to be open _,was supposed to be open today at 5 we were there at 5.30 pm and there was no sign of life !

Had a lovely Sunday lunch staff all very nice

Been there for a meal quite a few times and found the meals of excellent quality at a realistic pub price Staff are polite and attentive

Another lovely meal and drinks here. Pepperoni pizza very nice. Good choice of beers. Nice atmosphere. 🍺🍕

Dog friendly pub which serves very nice food.

Relaxed atmosphere. Great service, lovely food.

Lovely village pub near park and cricket pitch. Steak and fish n chips very nice. The apple crumble and custard was an ample portion and yummy!

We turned up for Sunday lunch without booking.. Great welcome and was seated immediately excellent service and good food

Had small plates for lunch. Hot food. Good choices. Delicious. Food was cooked to order and it tasted good. Will be going back to try something new from the menu. Great

Sunday dinner was very nice. The beef was very tender and the vegetables were good.

Excellent local pub with a great selection of reasonably priced food! Good selection of lagers, beers and cocktails - lacking any guest beers for the real ale fans though but would recommend a visit.

Lovely pub nice fire had a good evening here

First time we've been here and it won't be the last. Great staff and service. We'd heard good reports about their meals and they certainly delivered on that. It was delicious. The pictures probably don't do the meal justice.

Food was lovely, bit chilly in the dining room. Quiz was entertaining. A good night had by all 😀

Nice atmosphere. Friendly staff. The cajun chicken burger was lovely. Good beer & the ice coffee is good. Definitely hand there again when I'm up in the area.

Nice little unspoilt pub. Good Sunday lunch

Very nice food. Beer isn’t kept to the best standard and is expensive.

Enjoyed our Wednesday lunch having visited for the first time. Two areas had lovely fires burning in the grates and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. We liked the amount of effort which has obviously been put into the decor, something interesting to see in all directions. The staff were friendly and attentive. The general menu is interesting and varied with the addition of a "Specials of the day" menu. Drinks can be bought at the bar or ordered with food and brought to the table. We all enjoyed our main meals very much (Sea bream & baby clams Special, Steak Pie and Venison Burger & black pudding Special), the desserts were fine but a bit uninspiring. Two of us agreed that the Apple crumble from the Specials menu was rather bland with some of the apple undercooked but the Sticky toffee pudding was well received. (The only other options were Choc Brownie or Cheese board.) The toilets are clean and tidy. All in all a very nice experience but will probably skip desserts next time unless there's something a bit more exciting on offer.

Came with friends and enjoyed a really pleasant lunch. Not the cheapest but it was lovely and we enjoyed it. The fire was cosy and the cocktails delightful

Friendly staff, comfortable to drink in, lot cheaper than the crown up the road

Had a great Sunday lunch, food was very well cooked, homemade Yorkshires, tasty mash, roasters and veg, tender pork with crackling and didn't skimp on the gravy, Apple crumble for afters, throughly enjoyed it. Restaurant was almost full, which made a nice atmosphere, and service was excellent.

Excellent friendly staff,,great service

A party of us went there for Xmas day lunch. The food was decent and the staff were friendly and attentive.

Had a very enjoyable evening bringing in the new year. Staff were friendly and at the end of the night joined in with everyone to countdown midnight. Such fun. The manager is Jess who runs a good hospitality business and have to say her customer service is fantastic..

Looked around and peeps were having pizza, which looked a bit flacid, pale, sorry!! We've been lots of times before and plumped what the Milton does best - meat!!. Had shin of beef and toad in the hole. Both were beautiful and tasty and nice al-dente veggies. Never been disappointed, however, I don't recommend pizza. Sorry, Milton guys. But see you at the weekend. X

Nice Sunday lunch, they even do a "pie roast". Catered for a party of 12 very well

Went in a party of six including one child for Christmas lunch,shown to our table told by waiter he would be back to take drinks order 40mins later no drinks so my son who had paid for us all as a treat went to bar to get us a drink still no one had been near so went to bar again for drinks and complained and then a plate with six blinis turned up but no welcome drink that should have been offered as soon as we arrived,shortly after our starter arrived and then main,the food was delicious but the service was awful and spoilt our experience,the point of eating out is to take stress away but that didn’t happen,my son and daughter in law have eaten there a few times and that’s why he chose it for Xmas meal,£430 for a meal where you were completely ignored isn’t good enough and we never got our complimentary drinks so that was a bit more money you got!

Six of us arrived for christmas lunch including one child,shown to our table and told by waiter he would be back shortly to take our drinks order 40 mins later no one had come so my son went to bar,we weren't offered free complimentary drinks or blinis!still no one came even though my son had complained when going to bar which he went to for second time to get drinks complained again and six blinis arrived and then our starters which were delicious but if my son hadn't complained we would have been sat there still,the staff didn't seem to be organised at all until later through the meal a lady appeared who seemed to be management,no complaints about the food but the service was atrocious and we heard other tables complain to waiters that that they had been waiting a long time between courses, I appreciate it's Christmas and you pay extra but £80 each for adults and to get this sort of service is not good enough this was payed for by my son as a present to me and his inlaws and felt dissapointed for him as the idea to have xmas lunch out is to take away the stress but failed and we never got a complimentary drink so all in all a lovely meal but not worth that sort of money for the very bad service,probably tried to get far too many customers in for profit but need to get the right staff to cope

brilliant service and amazing food

Lovely meal tonight thank you milton arms, we will be back, delicious food at a reasonable price.

Nice homely pub with open fires n homemade food,very cosy

Really great village pub! Their chef is amazing. Best Sunday roast I have had, ever! Can’t wait to try the rest of the menu.

Surprising I wasn't expecting much but the food and service was excellent

Lovely food and not too expensive

Just been here for a baby shower party. The two rooms upstairs are lovely and cosy. There are toilets at the top of the stairs too. The pub was busy and the Sunday lunches looked lovely. The people serving were helpful and friendly. There is a reasonably large car park but this was full so I parked on the road without a problem. There is also a large beer garden which I think would be good in nice weather.

I had a pepperoni pizza and wasn't good at all not worth £10 at all not be going back to expensive what you get

Friendly and helpful staff excellent food exceptional to be exact, will definitely be calling again
