The Parish Oven in Rotherham

Went here on a Wednesday, ordered the parish burger was incredibly tasty just too greasy but enjoyable! Boyfriend ordered the steak and Stilton pie he enjoyed it just a bit salty, overall with a drink each came to £44 bit overpriced for what you get, but still enjoyable 7/10 overall.

An event was happening, so we weren't able to appreciate what was on offer. But was a pleasant visit

Such potential, but an odd experience. We were a large party and asked to pre order and pay a deposit. No issues, the online ordering system is amazing. They have each persons name and order. But on arrival, it goes down hill slightly. You're not greeted, or made to feel welcome in any way. When I asked to see where we were sitting, the response was nothing short of rude, made to feel like a burden, not a customer about to spend hundred of pounds. This attitude continued all evening. The food was delicious and the only reason to go again, but I'm not sure I can look past the rudeness of the manager / owner I presume, because anyone else in hospitality would have been let go by now. There were many examples of rudeness and just not being helpful, one example.... The food came out and instead of using the online system to it's full potential and calling our names, there were lots of very obvious eye rolls that we couldn't remember what we'd ordered 3 weeks ago. The guy seems to be on the spectrum, so I don't want to sound to harsh, but if he don't get some people skills training, it will damage the businesses full potential. Food spot on though.

Delicious traditional pub food in a spacious, wonderful setting with a playground in the back garden although it did not feel friendly to children. We were a large party with several children ranging from 1yr to 9yr eating dinner at the same time as about 3 other tables in the dining room. We had a mostly good experience, however there were a few odd encounters with the manager when we asked to leave through the back patio doors to go to the playground, the manager told us that the door was locked and children should remain in their designated seating area while at the pub. We had pre-booked our meals several weeks before using the very good online ordering system, assigning a name to each plate, but I received an eye roll from the manager when I couldn't remember exactly which one was mine. Why assign names on the ordering system if they are not going to be used. We also felt uncomfortable when the manager seems unhappy with us for not ordering food for the 1yr baby and only a starter for the 3yr. Overall, it is a really great place, but somewhat ruined by a manager with a very strange approach to customer service and families with small children. Based on TripAdvisor reviews, we are not the only ones to have such experiences.

It is a long time since I visited this pub, but I went on Sunday for lunch with a couple of friends and I am happy to say that the excellent standards are still in place, we enjoyed a fantastic Sunday lunch, the staff, the atmosphere, cleanliness, quality of the food .. all where perfect, well done to the whole team at The Parish Oven.

Myself and my husband have been here twice recently and found the food to be really good service excellent with the staff being very pleasant The tables are well spaced out so you don’t feel cramped . I would definitely recommend visiting and eating here .

Nice setting, shame about the rest. I last visited years ago after the refurb for Mother’s Day, it was fine, but not enough to draw me back until yesterday. This time, we stopped in more for the location than the food, it’s in a lovely spot with good walking routes nearby, very similar to places like the Elm Tree at Elmton or Greendale. Places like this often charge a little more, which is fair enough when the quality and service are there to match. Unfortunately, that wasn’t really the case. The Sunday roast was underwhelming. Gravy was thin and overly generous. Paid extra for meat and received two slices of lamb and two of pork. Vegetables were served in a single bowl for the table and looked like they came from a frozen packet, not much care in the presentation, or the prep. No one asked if we’d like sauces or another drink, or if everything was alright with the meal maybe they knew the answer? While I’d intended to order dessert, I didn’t feel the need after the main. I did consider mentioning it to the staff, but it’s difficult to know what to say when it’s just the basics being missed. It’s frustrating. There’s clearly potential here, a great location and all the right ingredients to be excellent. But the standard just isn’t where it should be and if it wasn’t for location and delusion it’d really struggle.

We often go to The Parish Oven for a drink and or a meal as you can guarantee the food is always excellent. The pub is very tastefully decorated and very comfortable and the Landlord Billy, keeps it pristine and welcomes everyone through the door. The pub also has lovely our door seating and a great play area for kids. Took some friends with us for a meal yesterday before the quiz and they were all saying how good it was. I had the steak & stilton pie, always very tasty, and my friends raved about the fish pie.....so nice! Genuinely recommend any time to visit the Parish Oven especially Wednesday - quiz night - there's a quiz, also a memes quiz, play your cards right, open the box and Irish bingo so plenty of variety....and Billy makes the evening so entertaining with his Yorkshire wit and sense of humour! Starts at 8pm every Wednesday and highly, highly recommend!

It was an absolute pleasure to have the baby shower at The Parish Oven. The space was fantastic; the food was excellent and the service was superb. So many people commented on the standard of the food and that they wanted to come back to try the rest of the menu! My husband and I will certainly be back at some point!

Me and family nipped in today during a bike ride. As it was a very busy Sunday, you are supposed to book. Despite this, staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and allowed us to order some of their chunky chips. Powered our 10 year old up for the 7 miles home. Much appreciated. Had a lovely lunch and what a great pub. Cheers.

We had not been to the Parish Oven for quite a few years as it had gone downhill badly. However, recent reviews made us decide to give it another go and we are so glad we did. The service was excellent. We ordered starters brie, salt n pepper squid, garlic mushrooms and olives - couldn't fault them. The mains 4 sirloins all cooked differently, and they all arrived together, cooked to perfection with hand cut chips and all the trimmings. The Diane sauce was mouthwatering. 2 child desserts (as couldn't manage adult portions) again, lovely and tasty. Without a doubt, I would highly recommend and will certainly be returning.

Fabulous Friday lunch meal . Excellent food ..great service ..

Came in for Sunday lunch. Food was excellent, hot, plentiful and well presented. Beef was tender, horseradish sauce was delicious. Our daughter had a child's roast and the portion was massive! Nice ambiance but was a little chilly in the area we sat in. I think 4.00 for a pint of diet coke is expensive. 4.80 for lemonade and lime. Other than that it was spot on.

Beautiful lunch with family and friends. The Quorn and leek pie was delicious 😋

We visited for a meal today, I had a roast dinner with beef and pork and my daughter had steak and stilton pie. Food was delicious, and there was a lot of it! The atmosphere in the pub was very relaxing, and all the staff went above and beyond to make our experience very enjoyable. Would not hesitate in recommending dining in the parish oven to anyone!

I recently came for the festive fayre with my partner and we will definitely be back! Our starters were full of flavour and good portion sizes. For our mains we both had the turkey roast dinner and it was piping hot. The potatoes were crispy and the veg was hot and fresh and served in a bowl for us to share which I found a great idea as I don’t always like a lot of veg. For desert we both opted for the cheesecake which was baileys flavour. It was garnished well with fresh fruit and came with pouring cream. Overall the restaurant had a lovely atmosphere and the food was fresh and amazing portion sizes. I couldn’t disagree more with the previous review talking about the cheesecake coming with ice cream and the ‘menu being wrong’ the place will definitely be recommended highly to all of our family and friends and we hope the festive fayre is an annual tradition!

Updating my review as everyone is saying the food was amazing . Christmas Fayre Menu I was disappointed with not having vegetables, I didn't want to dig through the overflowing bowl of vegetables. A large bowl of vegetables were plonked in the middle of a table for all 6 of us . It looked like left overs scraped from plates , you couldn't see what was in it , as a deep bowl . No one wanted to stand up and rake through the mix , it was messy . Just mixed up cabbage and a few Brussels on top , never got to discover what was underneath . Please serve your vegetables in an accessible dish . Preferably seperste dishes . I also was looking forward to ice cream with my cheesecake , but we all got severed copious amounts of cream . The take out for my son and his girlfriend, they absolutely loved it . I think my issue was loving vegetables and them being impossible to dish up . And cream instead of icecream. Everyone thought it came with cream . But menu said icecream. So all in a lovely meal . But needs some adjustments by manager !

We visited the parish oven mid afternoon for a Sunday roast dinner. It was a last minute booking as we needed our spirits lifting after a weekend washout. Myself my wife and our teenage daughter arrived mid afternoon for our meal. We were quickly seated and put in our drinks order while we chose our food. The Sunday lunch menu was simple yet varied. All the usual roast meats were covered as well as gammon and chicken which seem to be rarities nowadays. When we were ready our order was taken by the waitress (Charlotte). I ordered Turkey my wife ordered gammon and our daughter had the children’s roast chicken. We did order extra Yorkshire puds and extra roasties. After a short wait we were presented with a table full of food. The mains were well presented and cooked well, they were accompanied by a large serving bowl full of fresh vegetables. The Yorkshire puds and roasts were nice and crispy. The food was piping hot and presented well by people who know what they are doing. On leaving we thanked the chef and the staff for all their hard work on providing an Excellent experience and we will be back with our friends and family.

Great meal with family and excellent service from the team. The roast was delicious!!

The chicken nugget and chips meal from the childrens menu (which i was not too happy about it not being a full meal). The chicken nuggets were crispy and succulent with a good quality of chicken. The chips were nice nice and fluffy with extremely nice crunch. The beans were scrumptious, however the peas had a distinctive onion taste to them and multiple pieces of onion in the them, which was not specified on the menu and i have to say i was rather disappointed. The glasses of coke were extortionate in price (£4.40!!!!!!!!) on the other hand was not watered down and tasted very nice, it was a fairly good meal.

Great place to eat portions are big good value for money great place to meet friends very relaxing place

£7.60 for an orchard thieves cider and a packet of salted nuts 😋 oh the hint is in the product. 2 other people came in 4pm Fri evening I'm not surprised

had no issues at all food good, staff friendly. will visit again

Sunday roast dinner decidedly average. And therefore, not great value. And place not very busy. Mmmmm

Excellent food, all home made pleasant atmosphere

Lovely pub with lovely food! The staff were excellent it was a busy evening so we had to wait a little while for our food but that’s no big deal at all. The atmosphere was great. All in all fabulous! We will be back!

Great Traditional Pub good range of food all cooked fresh Try the Quiz night on Weds great range of quiz's

Went to day to celebrate wedding anniversary 💕 we will certainly go back again

Went for my birthday, a little far to travel for us but we thought we'd try and weren't disappointed. Big helpings of food, excellent quality, very tasty portions indeed. Main thing is, it's a medium sized room and has a great vibe to it, so relaxing. Friendly service. Will definitely come here again.

Beautiful Sunday Lunch with good menu to choose from We had Turkey /Pork/ Beef plus Desserts all served with plenty veg staff very friendly efficient highly recommend plenty outdoor seating picturesque setting

Beautiful meal on Friday evening. I had the herb crusted cod, the freshest fish I've ever had (and I love my fish) and it was a lovely thick piece cooked to perfection. It was served with asparagus and a variety of fresh vegetables also cooked expertly. The butter sauce was divine! My husband had the lamb curry which had a lot of good sized chunks of lamb in it and again was perfect. Not our first visit, had many tasty meals here, it just gets better and better. Highly, highly recommend this exquisite charming country pub with impressive decor and food to match!

Nice quiet pint required after a very hot day. Few people outside but just 2 of us inside. Wasn't the place we once knew.

Sunday dinner here is a must, fabulous food, fresh, hot and delicious, good menu choice, very friendly and helpful staff. I would recommend you try for Sunday lunch, it has a nice relaxed feel, not crowded into a small space, we will definitely make this a must for Sunday lunch again.

Really rude manager,informed us we had to pay upfront if we wanted to dine outside. Dont mind in principle but attitude really poor,also witnessed rudeness to other customers. Food not great myself and guest had lasagna both of us suffered that night into friday. Wasnt first visit but not sure i want to subject my guests to his behaviour and disrespect for his guests.

The expensive £5.80 pint I called in for, tasted of cleaning fluid.

Another great night of free entertainment. This is the fourth night we have been to and have really enjoyed the entertainer provided. Don't know where the manager sources them but they are very good and professional. Last night we had Hannah Hudson in an act which was called Pretty in Ink and she was absolutely fantastic. Pink was her speciality but covered a quite diverse range of music. We can't wait for the next evening on Saturday 27th July.

Perfect lunch with welcoming friendly and attentive staff. We are familiar with the Parish Oven and revisit every now and then. Never fails us and this visit was no exception. Food was tasty fresh and very well presented by a great member of staff. Superb.

Absolutely fantastic service. The staff were so accommodating for my disabled father, they could help us enough. Food was delicious too.

Have been here regularly. Pre-booked for afternoon tea. Wow, it’s increased in price recently. Pint of Cruzcampo £6.50, white wine and soda £6.90 and afternoon tea now £23.95 each. Arrived 5 minutes early but had to wait 20 minutes for it. Customer service was poor throughout - no thought, care or customer focus. Had to get up to get condiments and ask for a tea. No explanation of what we’d got. It was mostly lovely; they still don’t know how to make scones properly though. We enjoyed the food, but the disregard for customers, slowness and increased prices will make us think twice about returning.

Popped in on my way back from Shirebrook as it was a lovely late afternoon. Pint of Amstel £ 5.45 which has an alcoholic volume of 4.1 %. So it's a weak lager. Had seen previous reviews about how expensive the drinks had become but didn't realise it was that bad. This was a 50 % increase on my last visit so will definitely make this the LAST this time. Feel sorry for the lovely Thorpe Salvin villagers to have to suffer prices such as this. This does - however- encourage drinking at home- well done.

Absolute shocking, food, service and atmosphere well below expectations. Filthy tables, food on floor and the person serving wasn’t approachable, courteous or pleasant. Place needs shutting down, staff changing and to take a good look at the menu, at worse food and vegetables pre heated or microwaved.

a party of six booked friday pm , warm welcome and o e of our party has mobility issues which we notified them off when booking made .... on seeing how poor his mobility is , the staff changed out table so he was nearer the facilities and it deffo made his visit easier and more relaxed ... so a big thank you for that as it was done discreetly and without fuss . the food , was hot tasty and so nice , presentation . it's said u eat with your eyes , well we certainly cleared our plates , food looked amazing and tasted even better . 3 courses and drinks for six .. it was relaxed and pleasant afternoon .... would highly recommend, and we will deffo be visiting again. and spreading the word

Great food, nice place to be and kids play area had enough. Only thing that let it down was the fact we went mid week wasnt busy but the food took a fair amount of time

Really nice meal today . Good quality tasty homemade food and nicely presented.Friendly staff and good service. Will visit again soon

Great food with friends in lovely surroundings. Good and friendly staff led ably by Billy the pub manager. Bonus on Saturday night as very professional entertainment was provided free of charge. Will be back again.

It was a lovely sunny day, we'd booked inside and instead we sat outside. They happily coped with this and served outside fine. We had two dogs and it is dog friendly.

Great food. Beautiful Sunday dinner. No long wait for service, pleasant staff. Would recommend .

Mama mia themed afternoon tea was delicious with both hot and cold savoury dishes and excellent selection of deserts. Not a sandwich in sight. All home made and very tasty. We were made very welcome in lovely surroundings.

We have visited a few times, and the prices keep rising. On our last visit the steaks and drinks had increased again within a week by more than a few pounds. I understand costs have increased, but there's extra costs, and then there's greed. In conclusion, they have lost a customer as their are other restaurants nearby which are cheaper!

A very enjoyable time. First rate service first rate food and excellent service 😁

Called in today (9.3.24)for a spot of lunch with a friend. The place has been refurbished since I last visited which is a few years ago and it looks lovely. The staff were very friendly and very accommodating. My friend had a chicken wrap which she enjoyed. I myself had a jacket potato with cheese and was disappointed with it. It was very dry like I was eating cardboard but ate it as I was hungry. It cost me £12.75 for a jacket potato, a bit of salad and a glass of pop which I found extortionate. Overall a very nice visit .

Superb venue. 11 diners visited for an 18th birthday meal. Fantastic food, lovely surroundings and a 1st class friendly service. Cannot recommend enough.

Lovely food but a bit expensive for some meals overall a nice venue for your Sunday lunch.

We had our first visit yesterday and thoroughly enjoyed our meal. The service was excellent without being in your face. Will definitely be going back.

Great meal fresh cooked food and excellent service

Food stone cold and poor service!

Not a great pub at all. Food was okay, nothing to write home about. Service was terrible, waitresses were moody, delivery of food was slow, order taking was lazy, only half cleared the table following mains - just generally very sloppy. Inside the menu there is a warning that service may be slow as food is fresh, that's not an excuse to be poor, particularly with the food not even being amazing! Inside was quite cold, music didn't really come on for an hour so not much of an atmosphere. We were pretty much the first group in the pub after opening, so the place wasn't even busy! Honestly a place to avoid and the prices aren't cheap either Will try the beehive further down the road next time

Had afternoon tea there this afternoon and it was Willy Wonka themed I must say it was absolutely delicious, would definitely go again

This is an amazing pub and the service is great, the only thing letting it down is the chef. 4 times we have tried food here and 3 times we have been left very dissapointed, from inedible steak and Stilton pie (mostly just cheese), soft, soggy, squid with a strange fajita spice mix on, to a full sized camenbert with 5 tiny pieces of bread, no where near enough to finish the cheese. The menu and chef need looking at. Apart from that the place is faultless.

Lovely food, bar dining or restaurant, you choose. edta: Dipped a little when the new owners took over but they've pulled it back, still lovely

Date night with the bride, lovely food. I just wish we'd gone on the Thursday for steak night

Lovely great place for family.Batered door in the woman’s toilet nice people and service

Nice pub, good range of beers. Nice play area.

Lovely outdoor space. Not much atmosphere inside.

Gammon was tough food was much better on last visit to this place

Very poor food for the money and the afternoon tea cakes very dry

Beautiful places the food is amazing, the atmosphere so relaxing and welcoming

4 of us all had different meals all enjoyed. Will go again

Excellent food and service. Book in advance for evenings. Would definitely recommend.

Beautiful friendly place ,great staff , food gorgeous

Really good pub food, atmosphere wonderful and staff really friendly and helpful,definitely one to go back too 👍

Called in on way home , both meals were very nice and freshly cooked,couldn't fault the staff very friendly and helpful. Lovely place to eat . 4 on atmosphere as we were very early and no one else was in 😁 Will definitely call again

prebooked a table for high tea 2pm on saturday. the place was quite empty probable due to bad weather. the high tea includes 5 savours (tomato soup, mini fish and chips, mini chicken in BBQ sauce burger, prawn cocktail and alcoholic drink)and 5 sweets (chocolate brownie, cheese cake, tiramisu, scone, pineapple fritter). the high tea was ok. the hunter chicken salad and chip was delicious. The ice cold latte was served in large jar. arrived 1pm on friday, the pub was relatively quiet. the prices of main meals may find a bit dear for some people. we ordered belly pork, moussaka and slow cooked beef. all of them were delicious. they were kindly changed the ice cream to custard for sticky toffee pudding for me. the dessert was good and not over sweeted.

Went to enjoy afternoon tea at the Parish Oven today (07/07/23). The theme was cocktails. The food, as always was delicious, in particular, the Bloody Mary Tomato soup - best tomato soup ever! Highly recommend everyone to try an afternoon tea here, you wont be disappointed!

We visited here tonight, we hadn't booked and it was incredibly busy but Billy managed to get us a table anyway. Couldn't fault the service despite how busy it was and all of the staff were incredibly friendly. The food was exceptional and the steaks were cooked to perfection! Can recommend the Reef and Beef as well as the mixed grill. Absolutely would return again. Big bonus is that they're dog friendly.

The food was really good high standard. Having been a while ago had an excellent duck breast cooked perfectly, I ventured back and had a lovely moussaka. The belly pork on a bed of mash is very nice. Would highly recommend a visit. Dog friendly pub.

Really great food, enjoyed everything. Country pub with a great friendly atmosphere. Only 4 stars for the service because I personally hate being the only one standing at the bar waiting a considerable amount of time when there're 3 members of staff milling around and can't be bothered to acknowledge your presence, maybe it's just me.... Would definitely recommend to anyone.

Had a very enjoyable Sunday dinner

Lovely food, great atmosphere and not over priced.

Absolutely delicious food and the service was great , well done to the waitresses it was definitely service with a smile , they were very pleasant and helpful and we will definitely call again . We found them on Facebook and decided we would give the place a go and it didn't disappoint

We returned to the Parish Oven having had a good experience earlier this year. Unfortunately this visit was extremely disappointing. Customer Service is severely lacking. We were shown to our table and told what wasn’t available on the menu. The waitress didn’t tell us what the specials were. We waited for her to return to take a drinks order…she didn’t! We had to go to the bar to order ourselves! After sometime a different waitress arrived to take our order. Our food arrived within a reasonable time, but no one came back to check if the food was ok…unfortunately it was mixed! Two of the meals were well cooked, two could only really be considered as less than mediocre. The venue was not busy (a bit concerning for a sunny Saturday evening) but it was difficult to get the attention of any member of staff. And when we did highlight the concerns with our food, we were offered to have the cost of one of our drinks taken off the bill! Having read some of the reviews on here, for some time there have been issues with staffing and customer service and unfortunately this has not been addressed! We won’t be returning!

Not very busy food ok service bit slow

Came a few weeks ago, the blonde haired girl working on the bar went above and beyond to make our experience enjoyable! Will definitely be returning.

Relaxed atmosphere, friendly staff & yummy food! We’ll definitely be back! 👍🏻❤️

I never write reviews but after our Sunday lunch experience yesterday, I felt a review is needed. This is such a beautiful venue & outstanding village location, the food & the staff are really letting it down! Someone needs to take note & action a change quickly as I’ve not been so disappointed in such terrible service & average food for a long time! I won’t list everything we experienced as it’s unfair. I just hope someone from the venue reads this and contacts me privately so I can advise how bad of an experience we all had as group of people who were so looking forward to a lovely Sunday lunch. Massive changes to management at this venue need to happen quickly! Such a shame & wont be recommending this venue as it stands at present.

Terrible in every way. We are here a few weeks ago and left a poor review on trip advisor which seems to have mysteriously disappeared! Be aware of lots of fake positive reviews on there. The food was utterly dreadful, the staff were rude and unhelpful and the whole experience was embarrassingly bad. To the point that I refused to pay the whole bill. Meat not cooked, half of menu unavailable, eternal wait for service. We were told this place had improved. It hasn’t. Avoid at all costs and be aware of good reviews! Trust me!

Great pub meal. Exceptional staff waiting on you. My grilled chicken was excellent. Some good weekday specials as well. Well worth a visit

Booked a table for 4 on Saturday evening & thoroughly enjoyed it. Lovely atmosphere & food. Served by Miles who was excellent. If I lived in Thorpe Salvin I'd be in everynight

This pub is totally amazing. The atmosphere is perfect for a quiet dinner and the food is absolutely fantastic. I had pasta with seafood and from my proper Italian point of view it was the best pasta I have ever had here in UK!! Staff is amazing .. we have been served by Jack and he made sure that our dinner experience was smooth and lovely. The pudding was also delicious, I had chocolate brownie and it was warm and soft. Definitely we will come back!!

We had the March afternoon tea and wow there was loads and all fresh and beautiful. I hear its under new management and iv got to say was beautiful. If you haven't been recently give it ago .

Afternoon tea today for my mums birthday. Absolutely beautiful. Mama Mia theme. Lots of different choices and something for everyone. Well worth the money. Excellent service. Thank you!

Lovely place just what you'd expect from a country pub. Had quite a wait for food ,think it may all be cooked fresh which is OK if told first so you know there could be a wait. Plenty to eat for me but maybe a bit more for the men.

Came here on a whim as our usual was fully booked. We booked online and were Seated earlier than the reservation as we were starving! Staff really friendly and helpful, accommodating with helping choose a nice wine. Ordered Sunday lunch, and I even asked for a slice of a second meat which was no problem. Food was absolutely incredible. Chicken tender and full of flavour and the gravy was out of this world. Everything fresh and tasty, and we have ditched the old local for the parish oven.

Had a nice meal and drink here but it does not have the biggest choice on the menu! Not overly busy at lunch.

Visited a few weeks ago. Lad behind bar was rude and items missing off the afternoon tea that where advertised

Just had a fabulous birthday lunch at The Parish Oven, 8 meals and all were very nice. The rack of ribs were excellent 👍

We had to eat in the bar. There were drinkers at the bar and their language was foul. No one stopped them. Will not go there again.

Waited nearly 2 hours for our food to arrive, and it was the worst meal we have ever had!

Afternoon tea, big disappointment! Poor quality food, nothing like the menu I'd been shown when I booked. Poor service waited 45 minutes for food to be brought to table, had to keep asking for things that were missing. Would not recommend at all!!

What an absolutely amazing place ... stylish, cozy, and the food is to die for! ... couldn't ask for better service from our waitress; great knowledge and recommendations. Had the Chicken supreme Kiev and was absolutely blown away by the flavour ... loved it!!!
