The Salt House in Barnsley

Best food I’ve ever ate amazing staff and drinks

Fantastic service! The staff were attentive and friendly especially Meg and Rio.

Without doubt one of our favorite places to go! Upon arrival we were warmly welcomed by the staff and the general manager. The staff were extremely friendly, the restaurant was significantly busier than usual a great buzz to the restaurant (the restaurant supervisor deserves a special thanks for dressing our table with balloons and confetti before our large party being shown to our table sorry I didn’t catch her name) which obviously also added up to the great experience. The bottomless was fantastic value for money as we were worried about not having enough drinks but we definitely did! Liv/olivia I think her name is that looked after us has such a warm personality and highly motivated. I truly enjoyed the food plenty of options to choose from. The cocktails are to die for too - wow! All respect for the general manager Sam who does a great job here; checking up on everyone’s tables several times to make sure everything was okay at the same time - making sure the staff all knew what their roles and responsibilities were in a clam and colective manner a true example of excellent leadership. We will most definitely be returning with more friends :-)

The food was amazing, if you like belly pork order it from the starter menu it's absolutely amazing. The service from the staff was fantastic and they were polite and very helpful.

Visited on 22nd March. Was served by Meg, she was outstanding and very helpful with the food menu. She made our experience of visiting salthouse a very positive one. Will be returning

Came for bottomless brunch for a birthday. We only had 2 drinks within 45 minutes being there and gave us a bottle off prosecco rose to apologise.I felt so sorry for staff they was lovely but couldn't do much more than they was. They definitely need a bar seperate for bottomless brunch.

Fantastic food, fantastic staff, beautiful place. Highly recommend. No where like this in barnsley!

Very disappointed by the visit. The service was slow. By the time service came for drinks order we had already visited the bar. The food menu was basic. Doesn't cater for many dietaries. Asked if I could have a simple side off the lunch menu which seamt a difficult yet it was a simple ask. The prices are extortionate. Was charged service charge without being told and didn't in my opinion have a service. Tried to ring the establishment to resolve but told that's what I should expect!!!!! Won't be going back. Overpriced and lack of good and acceptable service.

Had Sunday Lunch for Mothers day. Despite it being full we were very well looked after by our waitress Liv, who put our order to the front of the list as we had out 3 year old twins with us. The food was excellent couldn't complain. Will be returning in the near future

Went for food and drinks, the food was fantastic, real quality. Cocktails after were great, loads of choice. Place is stunning, and staff were superb. Will definitely be back soon.

I recently had the opportunity to visit the newly re opened Salt House Restaurant and Bar in Barnsley, and I must say, it was a truly remarkable experience. The establishment exuded a modern and inviting atmosphere, with its stunning decor. The staff provided a warm and courteous service, ensuring that my dining experience was nothing short of exceptional. The highlight, however, was undoubtedly the food itself, which surpassed all expectations. The culinary delights served at Salt House were nothing short of extraordinary. I must commend the team on their outstanding efforts in creating such a remarkable establishment. It is without hesitation that I rate it a perfect 10 out of 10, and I eagerly look forward to visiting again in the future.

The salt house is a beautiful establishment, The quality of the food is always 10/10, the staff are lovely, the atmosphere is always great. I highly recommend!

The staff were Lovely but the food was over priced and absolutely tasteless. The whole dining experience was a disappointment tbh! What a disappointment as this used to be one of our fave’s in Barnsley. The food used to be excellent.

A yearly outing with us ladies - 1st time at this venue - staff looking after us were ok took our drinks orders & then food orders. All went down hill after this. Food very bland when I mentioned this to the girl waiter who I think was manager she just looked at me…no apology- nothing from her - then gossiping with other members of staff. We then got our bill - service charge put on bill which we didn’t pay as most of us left the food & service was not good either. Maybe some training needed? Won’t be returning anytime soon.

My friends and i attended for a bottomless brunch .The service from start to finish was amazing , they couldn’t have looked after us any better at The Ritz Food fabulous , cocktails flowed with no waiting for them Will be back ❤️

My partner and I attended with another couple on Valentine’s Day for the evening for some food and drinks. We didn’t get sat down straight away and was waiting for a short while at the door to be seated. Once seated we had to ask twice for menus to be brought to us and to order a drink. We ended up going to the bar to order drinks where there was only one person making cocktails so there was a very long wait which was disappointing. Upon returning to the table around 45 minutes after we arrived we were able to order our food. The other couples starters came before ours, and they’d finished their starters before ours came out which we had to ask to chase the kitchen for. The mains took about another 45 minutes to come out, one of which was completely wrong but we didn’t want to wait again so just ate it. We had to ask for replacement cutlery, napkins, salt and pepper all due to the lack of quality service provided. We did alert the wait times to the manager and they were very apologetic and offered us free drinks and a bottle of Prosecco. After the mains there was another fairly long wait for dessert, and only 3 came out, not 4! My girlfriend’s dessert never arrived and we queried this with the staff and they didn’t even know what she’d ordered and said they could go and make it now, but by this time everyone else had eaten theirs so she didn’t want to make us wait any longer. Overall the food itself was quite nice, as was the atmosphere in there with a live band on. The service however was incredibly poor. We came for NYE in 2022-23 and it was very poor then, so we thought we’d give it another try given it’d been a long time since we’d been. Unfortunately nothing had changed. The place seems to be run by very inexperienced young staff that don’t seem to be able to run it smoothly, and ultimately we suffered that night and ended up doing half their job for them by chasing them for every meal, menu, cutlery etc. They were apologetic and did give us a large discount on our bill but overall the evening was ruined by poor service which isn’t ideal for the occasion. The mobile app also stated cocktails were 2 for £12 but at the bar this was changed to 2 for £15, plus a long wait. This place seriously needs to invest more in their staff rather than their instagram account as on there it makes itself out to be a very well-kept restaurant but this is far from what I’ve experienced. I cannot imagine there are many repeat customers that will return here if they have a similar experience to me.

Myself and girlfriend visited for the re launch party recently. All food was delicious but the ribs are next level (definitely lived up to how good it looks in their Instagram!) the atmosphere great as well, great decor and really attentive service staff. We have been back twice since to experiance the Sunday dinner, again it did not disappoint. The portion sizes are good and we can’t get enough of the beef brisket. This will definitely be a regular for us!

My family and I (party of 9) visited the salthouse for sunday lunch to celebrate my daughters 5th birthday. The food was delicious! Very well cooked and presented and tasted amazing. However, the service was really such a let down for the experience. We were originally seated downstairs as we had a pram to accomodate for, but the table was much too small to fit all 9 of us on, it would've for 6, 7 at most. We were offered a table upstairs which we took. The lighting upstairs is very dark, we asked for the lights to be switched on but apparently they already were! As it was sunday, it's just the sunday lunch menu. When the waiter took our order, I asked what soup was being served, he didn't have a clue what it was, which I find pretty poor considering the limited menu being served on Sundays. We'd asked for water on the table, which we got, but with only 5 glasses. I asked for more but they never came. Drinks took a long time to arrive, then some were missing. Plates were getting cleared away before everyone had finished. After the main dishes had been cleared, we didn't see a waiter pass by again. No offer of more drinks or any desserts. Although the food was really good, I would be very reluctant to visit again due to the poor service.

A drinks order was completely forgotten, food order was taken nearly 25 minutes after sitting down, the one vegan option on the menu was no longer available but an alternative apparently could be made. Soup starters didn't arrive for over an hour after ordering because 'the ticket didn't go through', and when they did arrive they had bits of plastic in 3 out of 5 of them (like cellophane wrapping). At this point in the middle of being put off by soup with plastic in it, we were told the vegan alternative is not actually vegan, meaning there was no substitute and one of our party would not be having a main course. The mains eventually arrived and the pork was extremely fatty and the brisket overwhelmingly salty, even with the title of salted brisket. Live music was being played in the bar area which was good but far too loud - raise your voice to try and speak to the other members of your party, loud. The starters were removed from our bill and 30% was taken off the mains, so I appreciate the effort that was made to right the wrongs of the afternoon but the damage was already done. I will not be visiting or recommending The Salt House again.

Visited for Sunday lunch. We only had a main course as the starter and dessert menus weren't very inspiring. The Sunday lunch was great thought, the meat was cooked well, interesting vegetables and cauliflower cheese came as standard. Would recommend.

It was our first visit to the Salt House, it was a relaxed atmosphere with live music. A great place to chill out and have a beautiful steak over a few beers. Service was great from Maddie D who made our visit enjoyable. We will celebrate me back for more.

The food was phenomenal, and the venue was honestly very pleasant. Unfortunately the kitchen staff took around 45 minutes to prepare the food, but this was likely due to us arriving right as they opened, plus the bar staff forgot a cocktail we ordered and we has to ask for it later. Honestly it was worth the wait though!

Really lovely place to have bottomless brunch. Maddie D was so nice and welcoming. Would deffo come again, she is so so lovely.

The place was lovely the music was good and was a great atmosphere We had maddie D as our waitress and she was so kind and helpful could not fault her one bit!

The miserable bar manager/supervisor seems to have gone the same way as the crooked old owner, all for the better! The staff that welcomed us today were super friendly and more than obliging with dietary requirements, offering to make certain dishes gluten free. Fantastic experience, will be visiting again soon!

Sunday lunch was lovely, service was great and staff were brilliant Would definitely recommend and be returning again

Food was stunning, good value for the money. The young lady who looked after us, Hattie, was lovely and polite, so helpful and couldn't do enough to make sure we enjoyed our night. So refreshing to see someone who is happy within her work,

Amazing food, atmosphere and staff!

5 star service from Amy at our bottomless brunch! Non stop drinks for the 2 hour session, and delicious food!!Thank you!

Just been in with my wife and kids for food was absolutely beautiful compliments to chef⁩ kids loved their burgers and chips me and my wife had 6 dishes from the small plates menu the food was cooked perfectly and tasted amazing specially the sesh fries…my 7 yr old daughter said the FOH staff were lovely and wanted to say a special thank you to Maddie ⁩ for the gold straws in her drink my 4 year old son was watching the chef⁩ in the kitchen and now decided he wants to be a chef..thank you for contributing to lovely family afternoon

Lovely food, well priced and staff were helpful and service was to a high standard. My partner and I went for the set menu for two for £50. It was delicious and portions were a good size. would definitely recommend and we will be returning - thank you

Myself and my husband had our meal here after our wedding yesterday. To cut a long story short, our booking was with the old owners so I originally wanted a refund so we could book elsewhere for our meal after our wedding. However, a refund was not doable with you as the new owners, and you guys promised you would look after us if we kept the booking. And that you did! Nothing was too much trouble and you went above and beyond for us. You set up the tables upstairs and let us have that whole area to ourselves along with complementary Prosecco. Food was amazing and such a chilled atmosphere, really lovely and polite staff who couldn’t do enough for us all. (We paid £40 per person but we had food and also had drinks from 4pm - 8pm) Thank you so much❤️

First visit since reopening and we will certainly be back. The staff were friendly and accommodating, nothing too much trouble. The chefs were busy but our food arrived promptly, served with a smile and ensured we were happy with our choice. The food was very...

First time visiting with my sister for lunch. The rump steak sandwich was amazing, also definitely up there with one of the best strawberry daiquiris 🤩 the staff were amazing couldn’t have been better. Will definitely be visiting again for a bottomless brunch 👀

Just came in for a drink at lunchtime, the new owner came over and asked if I was warm enough. It was actually very warm and cozy, wine very good. Lovely staff, hope everyone comes back, don't think many people are aware it's re-opened.

Unbelievable service, really vibey interior and incredible food. Thanks Macie

Always the best Sunday dinner in the whole of Barnsley! Harriett was a diamond for service too and we were never without anything. Couldn’t recommend enough!

Sunday lunch. Fantastic & delicious. Slight mix up with order but staff helpful and easily sorted. Definatley visit again.

Amazing service & atmosphere. Ruby our waitress was amazing

Called in for birthday lunch and ordered off the main menu. Really enjoyed it, brisket sandwich was really tasty, the waitress couldn't do enough. Great place to visit !

Came for an afternoon with friends, had bottomless brunch. Very attentive staff, always making sure we had what we needed and delicious food. We will be back

Really good bottomless brunch there was 11 of us and still good service. Food was lovely and drinks kept coming out

Fabulous service. The waitress Ruby was amazing. Beautiful food and didn’t have to keep asking for drinks.

Amazing bottomless brunch and service from ruby! The food was delicious and drinks were plentiful in our 90 minutes we will definitely be back! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Great bottomless brunch, service was great & food perfect. Staff very attentive and make sure you’re always with a drink!

Amazing bottomless bruch and service from Maddie. Great value for money and 90 minutes was plenty of time ❤️

Bottomless evening brunch. Oh my god, not only does this place offer brunch in the evenings, but the food and service is 10000% going to start your night off the right way. Staff are super attentive to drinks orders, food is 10/10!! Honestly no better...

Service from Ruby was spot on, and food was really good.

Hattie was the best. So attentive to our party. Was constantly asking if we needed anything. 5*****👍😁

Fab bottomless brunch, Hattie was an amazing waitress, kept the drinks coming. Great afternoon celebrating.

Booked bottomless brunch for a party of 8. Not a great experience! The food was lovely and our waiter was good but unfortunately it was not organised at all. Waited half an hour for drinks, our food came out in bits n bats, ran out of some of the drinks. We ordered drinks that never arrived and had to reorder. Not the best experience. Not worth £38!!!! Need to up their game. Won't be booking again. Staff were lovely and trying to do their best but just not enough of them

Booked a table for Monday 2nd - then found out the place is now closed on Monday & Tuesdays. Need to sort the booking process out!

Sunday lunch ,superb food,great atmosphere,live singer was good, Julia our server was very good ,excellent prices 👍

Great bottomless brunch. The food was amazing and thanks to Hattie the drinks were flowing nicely. I would highly recommend and will definitely book again. 10/10

Absolutely amazing, maddi and joe couldn’t have been more helpful! Fantastic service thank you!!! Xxx

Hattie was amazing!! Couldn’t do enough for us. The food and drinks were perfect. Brilliant night! Xx

great time at this place would like to sit in a place i would like but staff are always sitting here ☹️

Called in for Sunday lunch and also had tapas. Food was stunning both times would definitely book again.

Went for wife's birthday, booked in for food got there took drinks order, waited 15 minutes for it to arrive. Took food order only to come back 10 minutes later to say kitchen closes at 8pm, website say 8.45. Went to pay for drinks and tried charging for food we never had, even at till they didn't know what was happening one lady asked why we were leaving when we had ordered food, told her we have just been informed kitchen is shut for her to then state what website says that it closes at 8.45. Shambles!!! Update, my wife emailed to let them know what happened. Two weeks later and no response, that's how good their customer service is

Small plates menu was great, food lived up to expectations. Good selection of cocktails, draught drinks. Tyler was mega as our host, recommended a couple of dishes that went down a treat. Very good.

Cocktail madness was amazing!! Shout out to joe the manager was such a good host ! He needs a raise

Food was unreal, staff so polite and friendly, fab cocktails. We have been regulars here for drinks but didn't realise the food was so good! Really nice atmosphere too

Had the best experience with the taster menu for £15 per person. Joe was an excellent host, the drinks and food were amazing. Definitely recommend going!!

My friend and I went here on Friday for the bottomless brunch, our booking was at 17.30. As soon as we went in we were greeted by some lovely happy waitresses big smile on all their faces which was nice as it made us feel very welcome. Shown to our table which was upstairs. Lovely deco upstairs too. I had the calamari which you could tell was fresh very tasty and came with a dip. My friend had the sliders burgers they looked really good! I tried some and I think next time will order them as they were perfect. Sides were cheesey chips which were out of this world and the cheese balls also amazing. Lots of choice to choose from when it came to the cocktails. The white sangria was really tasty but couldn't pick a favourite as they all tasted good. Huge big shout out to our servers of the evening Reo and Maddie you were amazing thank you for making our night so good. Definitely be returning soon. Thank you.

A fantastic venue. A great improvement in the town centre. Unfortunately customer service is very poor. Our table was cleared of our plates before we had finished our food. No questions asked. Service was slow. Such a shame for a new venue

Nice location but the price of a pint of Madri has gone up 50p in the space of a year. At £5.70 it's just not worth it.

Wow. I’ve been to the Salt House for tapas which was just incredible, and for drinks. The cocktails are fab, and the food menu is equally as good. I need to return to try Sunday lunch. This place is such a ‘vibe’ and gives Barnsley...

Absolutely the best Sunday dinner I’ve ever had! Quality, presentation and taste all 5 star including service. Good price and all homemade no frozen items. Will definitely be back for sure.

Very pleasantly surprised. Reasonably priced. Food lovely, and very tasty. Service very attentive, couldn't have asked for more. Went for my birthday and my brother took along a cake he had made for me. Staff went above and beyond to serve it and to wish me happy birthday. We will definitely recommend as one of the town centres top eating spots, and will definitely be back.

This place is great! Atmosphere is chill and cool but the staff is also really friendly. The best Sunday Dinner in Barnsley 🙏🤍

We went here for a catch up, food and drinks. The food selection is good, the olives and cauliflower wings are very tasty, patatas bravas spot on, beetroot and feta delicious. We did have a small hiccup with a food item not being available after ordering but what we had was delicious and Joe was very kind and looked after us. We will definitely return.

The best Sunday lunch in Barnsley ! Absolutely unreal and left in a food coma. Hats off to the chefs for such a beautiful meal, and big thank you to Hattie, Harriet and nat for quality service. We will be back

Came here on the 19th of August for a bottomless brunch on my birthday. The service was fantastic other than the fact we were waiting 10/15mins for a drink each time. The food on the other hand, they changed the menu from when I booked...

Absolutely fab bottomless brunch ..food fantastic, great customer service from Joe and little blonde waitress (Hollie) drinks free flowing and plentiful …definitely recommended

Disappointing. Came here with the view to eat but with grotty menus (drinks menu is literally an A4 sheet printed off with beer stains) and sticky tables. Ended up having one drink and leaving

I wrote a review yesterday about a poor experience. Here some clarification about what happened yesterday. I said I had a great time with my brother-in-law and two charming ladies. I spent £70 there from 12.45-3.00 when I ordered a taxi to goo to Premier...

Very poor service and customer service. Spent £80 there yesterday. Had to go back as taxi ordered drove off!!. Went back to ask for help-didnt offer any. Went in today-Thursday. Apparently "banned" '-didn't tell me walked in . More concerned about getting cocktails to A-level students. Will never go there again..

My daughter booked a bottomless brunch for us and it was amazing! I had a steak sandwich, best ever! Joe, our waiter, was fantastic! Kept the drinks coming for the full hour and half! Definitely recommend, and can't wait for next time!

Bottomless Brunch was great value - good selection of drinks with good service fro hard working staff!

Fantastic atmosphere, friendly and attentive service from Constance (Connie) in particular. Always a pleasure 😊 Rainy days and Mondays never get me down when I'm here 😀
