The Old Post Office in Barnsley

Massive portions of really nice food

First time visiting and we throughly enjoyed it. Good food, attentive service and very good child’s menu choice. We will definitely be returning

Great food, great service what more could you want. Lunchtime menu has a lovely choice with competitive prices. Excellent value for money and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend. We will be back. A real Yorkshire gem

We've been before and always busy and we recommend booking. There is plenty of parking and easy to find. It is not wheelchair friendly that we could see. Good drink and food selection. This is a spoil yourself place and prices on the high side. But it is very nice and we will be going back again.

Food was excellent. Staff efficient and friendly. We will definitely be back

Called in to charge car and thought we’d see if we could grab a table. We both ordered the turkey roast absolutely amazing. If you’re passing I’d recommend eating here. We were travelling from York to Staffordshire.

Great charging option for the EV

Excellent food and great value, cooked and presented with care. All serving staff were friendly, helpful and professional throughout. We really enjoyed the experience, We will definitely visit again Good car parking and easy access from M1

Fab place to charge your Tesla and have a coffee/Pint!

Stopped here to charge my EV (passing via the M1), intending to get a quick charge and grab a bite to eat (as it was around dinner time). The pub has a very cozy and welcoming vibe, the staff were very friendly & seated us without any booking. The wait from ordering to it arriving at the table was less than 15 minutes. The food was amazing quality. The steak and ale pie was delectable & the fish & chips perfectly cooked. Main dishes seem to average around £16, soft drinks about £3. By the time we had eaten & paid the bill, my car was fully charged and ready to go. Shall definitely be keeping this location on my radar when heading north!

Nice atmosphere. Staff on point.

Had the steak night for two. Absolutely delicious. Perfectly cooked and served by wonderful staff.

This is our fall back restaurant. Always good. Why. Service excellent, food excellent, place excellent. Thank you.

Very nice pub food, went with my husband & grandparents and the staff were very accommodating, even putting the heater on so they wouldn’t get cold. We had 3 courses and all were very nice, portions are a good size and all was good quality. I would say the salmon & gnocchi dish was quite oily and could do with some vegetables as it was just all carbs and protein. The meat & fish were high quality, and the sticky toffee pudding was a real highlight, we will definitely come back.

Absolutely superb, if I could give 6 stars I would. Stumbled across this place whilst looking for a Tesla supercharger, was expecting a big old services not a lovely country pub. Food was superb, waitress amazing, nothing was too much trouble. Honestly can't recommend this place enough, if you need a charge or just fancy a decent meal, honestly look no further.

Charger is slow as a granny on a milkfloat! 25kw out of 250kw stupid !

Local to us as we don't live far so have been regular for meals which have all been lovely. Had my 40th birthday party in their function room last weekend & loved it. Had an 80s fancy dress party and was able to decorate it as much as I wanted. From my initial query right through to the night communication with Lauren was easy & answered pretty quick. Had the standard buffet which was really nice & they even added on cheese & onion on sticks to go with my theme lol. I got my own DJ, music had to be slightly restricted till 9pm (for those eating in restaurant upstairs) but it wasn't an issue and no one noticed anyway. Everyone commented saying they loved the food, the venue & the staff were really friendly. Big thanks to Lauren & the team!! Highly recommend. X

There’s few places I’d recommend for Sunday Lunch but this is our favourite by far. Consistently delicious food including gorgeous homemade tasting gravy. It always feels a treat to go and we think it’s reasonably priced for the standard of food and service.

Attended a private event in the Garden Room with my family. Food was amazing, staff friendly and overall a great experience! Would definitely consider booking the room for any upcoming events. The only (tiny) negative was the price of a pint - £6.30!! Couldn't afford too many of those.

Best steak ever. Highly recommended. Very friendly staff. Gorgeous food and amazing atmosphere. Will never be disappointed . Greetings from Melbourne Australia

Here again for superbly cooked and tasty food with great, friendly service and very pleasant surroundings.

Came for breakfast, after waiting 45mins we were served a breakfast that had obviously been stood under a hot counter. The bacon was extremely over cooked and dry, the eggs were like rubber and the tomato and mushrooms inedible. Very disappointed unlikely to return any time soon

Just had drinks, fast service despite being busy

We've been several times for Sunday lunch. I usually go for the trio of meats, which is always tasty. I would recommend booking for Sunday lunch, as it can get busy!

The only restaurant where the main meal portions are not huge and over faced, therefore, had a lovely desert,, thank you so much, we will be back..

Really good pub, free & large car park

Lovely sunday dinner, fantastic and attentive service from all the girls, definitely be back again

Four of us went in Saturday evening. Two starters. Four main meals. I had to send my pie of the day back as it was burnt and dry in parts. Friendly staff. Nice atmosphere I would go again. But would try other places first.

Had a lovely evening with friends in an amiable atmosphire. The food was beautifully presented and tasted amazing. Well done steak and ale pie was full of succulent meat with a crispy pastry crust. It arrived with lovely gravey chips and fresh vegetables. Definitely worth a repeat visit. Staff were polite caring and gave a professional service.

Long time since we last visited. Now this could be our default restaurant. Thank you for a lovely meal and fantastic service

Hi just would like to say we come here quiet a bit and tonight I was disappointed with the food I order raw to medium rump steak and it was very tuff and chewy I did point it out to one of your members of staff saying it was not the best steak and was not worth the money . I got no response back which is very disappointing I work in this industry and I no someone should have acknowledged my views.

Had Sunday lunch there, the food is absolutely amazing. Great service by the staff and the pub has a nice, relaxing atmosphere

My husband and I had our wedding reception in the Old Post Office’s Garden Room, after having a small wedding in Cornwall. We wanted an informal party with all of our friends and family and the Old Post Office was the perfect place. Since we booked the venue, the Garden Room underwent some refurbishments and looks much brighter! We had wood fired pizza throughout the night and an evening buffet later on in the evening, which everyone loved. Staff at the Old Post Office were great all throughout the night and I couldn’t recommend the venue enough for parties.

Visited the old post office last night for a family meal. Our starters arrived at the table where after having two bits out of the garlic mushrooms i had to send them back as they were cold. They brought them back out in a bowl that had been put in the microwave and warmed up ( with the bread underneath) that was now soggy!! I ate them as i wasn’t going to complain again. Coming to the main.. 2 mains came out and the other 2 5 minutes later. The steak was cold, the peppercorn sauce i could put my finger into and it did not feel warm. The onion rings were flat cold, the burger my husband ordered was cold and the chicken my dad ordered was bone dry and also cold!! We asked for a manager to come down as we were not happy after already advising our starters were cold!! No manager even came to apologise on behalf of the chef, and we cancelled the order! No drinks were offered as an apology or a conversation with the manager. we have visited here for many years now and the experience we had last night is not one we will be having again! We spent over £150 on starters and deserts and not even a sorry!! We won’t be returning again, i’m not the type of person to write a review usually but i feel like with the bad efforts from the place last night that this should make people aware! Very disappointed! Everyone has also had an upset stomach this morning from the small amount of food they did consume, very very poor from the team last night

Nice pub with good quality food.

Was here for sister wedding was amazing bar staff so fantastic would definitely recommend

Great location near to M1. Great food at reasonable prices.

Just been for lunch, lovely place, service was also fab. Defo will visit again.

Great Food, that is consistently good. Lovely outside space and the staff work really hard to be enthusiastic and helpful. Fair prices, measured service to accommodate multiple courses and nice experience. The garden is had a bouncy castle most sunny days and cute play area. Able to bring the dogs too. An overlooked place to eat and spend a few hours

I would definitely recommend dinner here. We decided to pop in without a reservation. It was no problem though. Staff very helpful and friendly. Food fabulous and pub nice. Would definitely go again…but just ask for a smaller portion of food 😁

Attended a wedding event here recently and it was a lovely venue, very picturesque and handily located near the M1, and had loads of parking. Staff were all really lovely and friendly, food laid was really nice, and the drinks weren’t outrageously priced. Even the toilets smelled nice. Great place, keep up the good work!.

We visited for a meal after work. The food was delicious, served with great coordination, and a smile😊 The atmosphere was comforting and cosy. All 14 of us enjoyed it very much. We are booking for Christmas😃

This place is amazing - the food was fab and the portions are large. The service was great. The venue itself is clean, spacious and has a modern country feel. I would highly recommend for any occasion. The grounds are lovely too with a small play park for the little ones and a bouncy castle to keep them entertained.

This was my first visit and all I can say I will be back. Yes little bit more pricey that some places but all I can say is well worth it best steak and ale pie I have ever had. All my friends loved the food and wasn’t a single compliant. Was excited to see table next to us order the sharing steak platter as that looked amazing as well. Cannot wait to go back x And 2 ladies seeing was excellent even though was busy.

We didn't eat but the food looked very good and it was busy with diners.

Not sure it’s a £300 meal out for 4 people in this place , you can eat a lot better for less , not saying it’s bad but also no where near the cost . Nothing special just good pub food , disappointing a big YES .

4 of us went for Sunday Lunch - we all opted for the Sunday Roast, choice of beef, pulled pork or chicken. We all agreed the food was very tasty, the service was also very good. The only slight issue was my pork was a little lukewarm, not piping hot. Shared a couple of deserts which were very good. House wine at £20 a bottle. Worth a visit if you haven’t been for a while.

Good food, fantastic service, very much enjoyed

What a lovely treat,my disabled wife and i and one of our daughters and boyfriend had a really nice meal,the staff were attentive and regularly checked to see if we needed anything,and one of the chefs was explaining about getting the outdoor pizza ready for the warm weather,looking forward to that.Excellent food and good value for money and very considerate and dedicated staff.Thankyou

Very friendly service and excellent food

Beautiful food and excellent service.

An absolutely fantastic place ' with the most amazing food.

We booked using the app, which was straight forward. The service was, from the moment we walked through the door, excellent, and this was at the end of a very busy bank holiday. The food was excellent and our waitress was very knowledgeable about the menu and made some great suggestions. Family friendly, and much better than those chain restaurants.

If you like top restaurant food the old post office is definitely worth a visit. Friendly staff always make you feel welcome too. There’s pub food and there’s good food. Definitely not pub food and the steaks are to die for.

Food was excellent, the service not so none of the girls were interested

I visited today with a party of 6 , it's a beautiful place but disabled access is rubbish or none existence my sister is a quadraplegic amputee but has prosthetic legs , 13 steps down to the loo. Food ok but got the orders wrong . Outside space stunning but again no access to toilets for disabled Would I go again ? Unsure

We called in when passing. It's a lovely, bright, modern and clean looking restaurant. The bangers and mash was OK but the bangers fell short. Tasteless really could do with a better supplier. Other than that we had a good experience.

We always come to the post old post office for drinks. With the sun being we decided to sit outside. I haven't eaten here before and I've heard great things but unfortunately they don't serve food outside. This is ridiculous. It wouldn't take much to bring a sandwich outside. You are loosing business and will continue to if this doesn't change. Ridiculous.

I was one of 50 guests for a birthday dinner, table booked for 2pm, starters wasn't served until 3.30pm. It was stone cold so I asked for it to be warmed, which they did and that was cold too. The mains was the same, which I sent back 3 times - it came back cold 3 times! I ended up asking them to remove it from the bill as I couldn't eat it, which they agreed to do.

Great for an evening eating. We booked and had confirming e.mail. when we arrived they said they hadn't got it even though we showed them proof. They tried to put us on the smallest table pushed right up to people that were eating. I protested stood my ground and they moved us.After all that the food was fantastic. Service too.

excellent food as always. The pies (Chicken & Leek or Beef) remains one of the best we've had! Good service even when its busy

Excellent. I hope to become a regular patron following my last visit.

I am deeply disappointed and frustrated with the old post office for their handling of our wedding reception booking. Despite being the first to secure the venue over 12 months ago, they shockingly double-booked our event and callously refused to honor our reservation. This left us in an impossible position, scrambling to find an alternative venue at the last minute.Their initial solution was to ask the other couple to cancel their booking, which was not only unprofessional but also completely unfair to both parties involved. After we were forced to hastily search for another venue, the old post office inexplicably reversed their decision three days later, leaving us with a loss of confidence in their ability to manage such important events.Not only did this debacle result in a significant financial burden due to the difference in venue costs and losses incurred with suppliers, but their offer of £500 as compensation was insulting and did not come close to covering our expenses. Their refusal to take responsibility and adequately compensate us for the inconvenience further highlights their disregard for customer satisfaction.Overall, I would strongly caution against entrusting any important event to the old post office, as their incompetence and lack of accountability have left us deeply disappointed and out of pocket!

Lovely place... The garden room is lovely too... Delicious food and really nicely presented too... Highly recommend.. Weill be back soon

This is the second time I have been to the old post office on a day that isn't a Sunday and twice my meat was not cooked as requested, and had to be sent back and the same happened to the table directly to the right of us. There was a 40 minute wait which I'm suspecting was due to a function downstairs being served first. The staff did their best in the circumstances. The fries were just warm and the chunky chips were more like wedges and not crispy at all. You do an outstanding Sunday dinner which I will return for however, your normal menu I am sad to say I won't be returning for.

Food is always nice from here, particularly the steaks. Service, although pleasant, was slow and staff were just stood behind the bar twiddling their thumbs whilst we waited. It still a lovely plance to eat though and this is the first time the service hasn't been upto par.

One of the best Sunday dinners in Barnsley and surrounding areas. Great value for money. Relaxed atmosphere and friendly staff.

Lovely restaurant and pleasant staff until we complained then we were ignored as they didn’t want to come back to table. Firstly I’ll say the starter was fabulous but the main course THE SHARING MEAT PLATTER at £80 was TERRIBLE!! The look of it was great we were so looking forward to eating it but wow, the rump steak was full of sinew, the chicken breast had definitely been frozen as it was difficult to cut and as dry as an old boot had to dip into the sauce to soften it. The fillet steak was awful, tasteless tough and cold. We ate the sausage and onion rings to say we’d eaten but my goodness please avoid the platter. As a chef myself and have eaten steak regularly as I’m also a butchers daughter this was by far the worse I’ve eaten. I’ve had better steaks from supermarkets!! When the waitress came to clear I told her it was awful and she just said sorry do you want dessert. After that none of the waitresses wanted to come to the table. When I asked for the bill they did knock off the wine but if I’m honest I was disappointed that the platter wasn’t refunded as we only could eat the sausage and side orders. Would we go back, I’m not really sure there was positives but don’t want a bill of £101 again in case the other mains are the same as the platter

Had a fantastic meal. Service is really good and reasonable.

This food is incredible. I had one of the best ribeye I've ever had. Also, get the camembert starter! I'm reluctant to advertise this too much because I want to go again and worry I won't be able to get a table if it's as popular as it deserves to be!

Called for Sunday dinner with family. Parking is plentiful and the exterior is welcoming. Sat upstairs in the well decorated dining room. The service was good (plenty of staff), food was as expected - prices as expected - no issues at all really. But personally I don't think my experience warrants a 'very good' rating - it was good but nothing to make me want to rush back. A 3.5 rating if that was an option would be fair.

Perfect venue for all occasions Loved the softplay kept the kids entertained all afternoon 😁

Love it amazing food always and atmosphere they nevwr dissapoint

We went for lunch and had the steak. Fantastic food, good atmosphere. A nice hidden gem, I would recommend

Excellant 2nd time here for Sunday dinner and again fabulous Staff was nice and polite and friendly Definitely recommend

Super meal at The Old Post Office, Friday 1st March. Family of 5, including mum who is 89 and wheelchair user. We were sat in the garden room as it can be accessed from the car park without steps. We were the only people in the garden room, not a problem for us as we are a chatty group, but could have been lacking in atmosphere. Service was excellent, the girls were happy and cheerful. The food was hot and delicious, thank you chef and team. Would highly recommend for your next meal out, so convenient just off junction 36 M1.

Visited today and we were greeted warmly and seated promptly. Lovely atmosphere in the pub and my main meal of Chicken in a mushroom sauce was very good. My husband chose "A Trio of Sausages" which suggests 3 different types of sausage. This was very disappointing and should have read "Sausage and mash".

I visited for my brothers 40th surprise party on Saturday 24th of March and the service was fantastic. A really nice pub, and the food was delicious too.

Great choice of food and you won't go hungry. Plenty of choice on main menu plus other Great meals on the specials board

First visit was brilliant as was our second visit but our third visit is memorable for the wrong reason. We arrived 15 minutes early so we got drinks and were advised we would be told when our table was ready. Waited 15 minutes after our booked time before we checked if our table was ready, no apology so very disappointed. We don't usually repeat visits once we have this sort of experience.

Lovely place. Fantastic food. Great service. Def will return. Had the lamb, beautiful. Partner had barnsley chop. Really enjoyed our trip out,

Had the most amazing engagement party thanks to Lindsey and her team 🤍 such a lovely and amazing setting for our loved ones and cannot recommend enough

We had a late Sunday lunch here yesterday, party of four and we thoroughly enjoyed all three courses, everything was fresh and delicious with generous portions, separate dishes of cauliflower cheese and steamed veggies and plenty of pulled pork, roast beef and chicken the three meat option is a £3 extra but worth every penny. We’ve been trying various places in the local area over the past few weeks and The Old Post Office is absolutely miles ahead of the other places we’ve tried, I honestly don’t think we need to look any further. Thanks very much and we’ll see you again soon.

Booked online for Sunday lunch. Simple to do and less hassle than phoning. The food, starters and mains were excellent and plentiful. Choice of beef pink or cooked through. Very good. No room for puddings. The service was attentive, no issues there. Will definitely visit again.

I go once a week, I know that what ever I choose it's going to be amazing. Camembert share platter for starter is to die for, steak and ale pie just the best. If you don't want to leave it to chance this is the place.

We went for New Year’s Day dinner with our family . The food was delicious, the service spot on & price reasonable. We were so impressed we booked for lunch the next day. We have visited several times since then & have never been disappointed. We will be visiting regularly to try some more of the delicious meals in the menu . The staff are really friendly & nothing is too much trouble .

Delicious food and good service 😋

I had seen this pub from the motorway and thought it would be ideal for my family with it having a playground. So on the way back from Sheffield decided to pop in and try . Only wanted a lunch time snack but not served at weekend so asked if I could just have a soup and roll and a pint. I was asked where I would be sitting and asked the girl if I could sit at the table opposite and she said yes .She took my order but was then told I couldn't sit there and told to go down the stairs into bar area . There weren't any tables , just low chairs and a 'barrel'. When the girl came and put a spoon and napkin on the barrel I said 'I cant see how I can eat my soup here' she ignored me and walked away. Half an hour later another girl brought my soup, i said to her 'I cant eat it here could I sit at a table ' she seemed to acknowledge me me but never came back, ignored again ! So I picked up my soup went up the stairs and sat at a small table with one chair at top of stairs ( so didn't take up any tables for a group or family ) and ate my soup My main grip is that I was ignored TWICE . I did see a manager on the way out and told her of my experience and she did say 'sorry' Terrible unprofessional service Mike

Had the function room for my sons wedding reception. Good size for 70 to 90 guests. Function room set out really well easy to access with facilities on one level. The food and service was excellent, decent selection of beverages prices what you would expect to pay. Large carpark, larger outside tables and seating areas includeing kid's play area. We'll run established and would recommend giving it a try.

Called for lunch without a booking and was seated immediately by welcoming staff. Prompt service for drinks and meals. Both our starters were flavoursome and we really enjoyed them. Our main meals were disappointing. My lasagne was not to my liking, it tasted of pork and sitting in a lot of oil. I was offered another meal on the check back but I declined. My husband’s pie was tasty but dry around the edges. Not sure we will return again.

I can not praise the old post office highly enough. The first impression was very good. Although it wasn't quite the weather for it, it had a nice outdoor area. When we entered the building, found it to be very well presented and cosy, homely feeling place. Spotlessly clean, the staff were attentive, helpful and polite. And the food was simply out of this world. There were six of us, having different meals, I had the steak and ale pie. I am 70, and it is one of the best meals, and experiences I have ever had, and don't say this lightly. It is a credit to the staff who work there, and the management. I will be back !!!!!

We had a lovely time catching 👆

Just been for a family Sunday lunch & it was superb all round...thank you.

Amazing, great staff. Very friendly and accommodating. It was delight to be served by Laura. Food was incredible 😋 came out really fast and tasted very fresh. Stunning decor and very clean

Everything was really good. Looking forward to returning soon.

It's nice enough. Pleasant surroundings and staff. It was very warm sitting near the heating unit; I was ok as I sat slightly further from where it was actually blowing out. Not a lot of choice for vegetarians. I'm not a fan of halloumi and I figured the Mediterranean vegetables would include aubergines and courgettes, neither of which I like. So I had chunky chips with mushy peas. The chips were just ok, a bit dry.

The food was amazing and the staff were super friendly and helpful! Only one issue was that the music from the party in the function room was a little too loud but that’s just a minor issue.

I haven't been for years until today, for breakfast, was an unplanned visit, staff are genuinely lovely, plenty of choice for breakfast, food freshly cooked, very reasonably priced, will certainly plan for an evening meal here in the future.

Seven of us had a lovely time for a special birthday. The food was excellent and the staff were lovely, despite being busy.
