The Waggon and Horses in Barnsley

Lovely food. Friendly staff. Good ale. We go there a lot. Easy carpark. Clean toilets. Nothing to dislike. Do book tho as it gets busy....with good reason.

First time at this place it eon be my last. Everything about our experience here was fab.

Excellent meal as usual, good friendly service on a busy night. Our go to pub/restaurant.

Super meal. Excellent staff and will certainly be back!

I went here for lunch with two friends and it was lovely as always. Great choice of gluten free dishes. I accidentally ordered non gluten free Yorkshire puddings and these were quickly changed with no fuss. I offered to pay for my mistake but they insisted it wasn't a problem. I've been here a number of times now with different family and friends and all have enjoyed it. I look forward to my next visit...the Christmas menu looks amazing! P.s. The photo of the fish and chips was the small portion, they also do a larger size.

Always very good food and excellent service.

Good food, good service and atmosphere. We went because on the website it says there is a quiz every Friday. It turns out there isn't - only if there are more people. There were 4 tables occupied at 9pm. Never mind, the food was good but we would have stayed longer. Fish and chip Friday was good value but pie was also excellent. They should update the website.

It's a lovely old pub with excellent food. We had the lunch menu, which was reasonably priced.

Really good pub food. Their fish (whether its large/small or goujons) has the best batter in the area. Our go-to for fish and chips. Also had other really ice meals here.

We booked here after been recommended by friends. We were a large party of 15 and they were only too pleased to accommodate us. We pre-ordered our meals with there been 15 of us and the lovely gentleman who took our orders came to double check everything was correct and said we would have our meals in 15 minutes and we did. I had the Worley lamb cannon and it was absolutely beautiful. The rest had different including the steak pie, gammon. Fillet steaks and lasagne and every one of us thoroughly enjoyed it. The food is the best we’ve ever eaten. The staff are lovely and attentive and are quick to be on hand. Thanks to you all for accommodating a large party.

Very friendly and welcoming, the food was cooked to perfection, I will definitely be going again.

Excellent pub, great food, friendly staff and good location. Totally recommend.

We have never had a bad experience here. It is our go to place when visiting family. My daughter is coeliac, and she knows that she can trust them to serve her a gluten free meal. Food is well cooked and well presented. Their pies are amazing. My daughter had chicken and ham and I had the meat and potato. Staff are friendly and efficient.

Called in for a Sunday dinner, having booked in advance. The meal was superb, I had the double meat, with delicious pork and beef, my partner had lamb. All the meat was tasty and succulent. The Yorkshire puddings were home made, light, fluffy and super tasty. The vegetables were cooked just as we like them, but the star of the show was the gravy!! Just wow. Attentive staff, super service. What’s not to like! Would recommend definitely x x

First time visiting - the food was absolutely lovely, the staff were excellent and the pub itself had a lovely atmosphere. I'll definitely be back.

Sunday lunch for 3! Choice of roasts as well as specials and usual pub meals. Turkey and pork roasts came with stuffing, roasties and veg etc and huge Yorkshire puddings! Very lovely! Really friendly and attentive staff.

Very disappointing! We used to come regularly, but no more. The arancini starter was so spicy, it impossible to eat; the meat and potato pie was another disappointment - the pastry was not cooked properly and the potatoes tasted as if they were tinned! The meat was good. Some staff members were quite offhand and rather casually dressed. Things are not what they used to be!

I have been meaning to visit The Waggon & Horse for years, my Mother lives in Oxspring and I visit her regularly from Lichfield Staffordshire. I have driven passed it so many times. However on this visit I was determined to eat there. And I was so glad that I did. Myself and my partner were impressed about the food, the staff, the cleanliness and the overall friendliness of the place. So much choice, something for everyone I would say. We had the roast, I had turkey and my partner had the lamb, wonderful flavours including the gravy, and proper Yorkshire puddings! Fresh vegetables too. We then had dessert which was bread and butter pudding and treacle spong pudding both served with creamy custard. I cannot fault this place. On my next visit we will definately be eating there. Thank you to all

We had the 8oz gammon which was fairly ok but not enough of it for the £17 it cost. Puddings were a staggering £8.50 each so we declined. Wouldn't return at these prices which is a shame as the pub itself was lovely.

Our favourite local place for all our family meals and Sunday dinners. The food is always great, and the service is the best. We always look forward to our next visit.

Went for the Sunday roast and it didn't disappoint,plenty of choice with turkey,beef, lamb and pork all available plus all the trimmings, the food was excellent and we will definitely return.

Bit expensive food wise for you get but it was brilliant snap just not alot other than that a nice place to be

We had our ladies who lunch here exelent

A great pub with a really friendly atmosphere and excellent food. The staff who served us were spot on and we couldn't of asked for anything more 👍

Wonderful meal out with friends - good food, friendly service, welcoming atmosphere

Lovley roast on Easter Sunday. Was friendly service and served quickly with a great choice of meats. We will be back to try the rest of the menu!

We have just arrived back at our lovely Air BnB having been recommended to try the Waggon and Horses by our host. Our evening was flawless. The colleagues were all very friendly and welcoming from the lady who served our drinks to the gent who sat us at our table. There’s a decent range of drinks with the usual suspects on tap to avoid any disappointments. The specials looked very nice and if my steak hadn’t been so nice I would have had severe food envy of the lady on the table next to us. The lovely Hannah had the risotto which was outstanding. We managed to leave enough room for pudding (treacle sponge and custard and a sticky toffee pudding) which were also delicious. With four drinks, two mains and two puds, we spent almost exactly £100. Absolutely worth the price. Should we find ourselves back in the area, we would absolutely add another meal here to our itinerary.

Came last night for a family meal for my dads birthday for 9 of us. Tony and Sam managed to get us in even though my dad had booked the wrong pub. The food is absolutely delicious and plenty of choice on the menu, fabulous, service, great prices and the portions are huge. We will definately back. Thankyou everyone x

Excellent food and excellent service, such a lovely old pub, strongly recommend it.

Great gluten and dairy free fish and chips. Service was brilliant and the food was so so good

I recently visited the Waggon and Horses on a Friday with my Mum for lunch and we both had the Fish and Chips. The Waggon never fails to impress the food was great and services levels top notch as usual. The old saying you get what you pay for is true in this instance the Waggon is not the cheapest but I have yet to have a bad meal there and am always impressed with the food and service given. In my opinion one of the best pubs to visit in Barnsley if you want quality food and service, I have been many times with family and friends and would highly recommend.

A lovely traditional country pub,lovely food , warm & friendly staff .

Service was good, but the fish was all batter and not much fish, chairs are not comfortable, very pricy for what it is. shame as I was looking forward to it.

Visited today to have a birthday meal for my fiance, after going out walking. The pub was lovely, the staff were friendly, helpful and gave great customer service. The food was absolutely fantastic and so flavoursome. We had one of the specials each, Steak and Salmon. Nothing was wasted. I was too full for dessert but my fiance had Mississippi Mud Pie, but I did have a bit he left. My photos haven't come out too well... but we can highly recommend and hopefully will go again soon. Thank you all.

Dogs not allowed despite having the option ticked on Google.

Got voucher for a meal at Christmas, we weren't disappointed the food was amazing, staff friendly, good service and atmosphere, highly recommend

Incredible find! Very welcoming and attentive staff; plenty of GF options on the menu and delicious food. AND 20% off! A huge thank you!!

This is and has been my favourite place to eat for many years. Great food, lovely atmosphere and very welcoming staff. Highly recommend

I find it a bit difficult to review the Waggon because just about all the relevant possible superlatives have already been used. However, this place is especially deserving of a further attempt. Our last visit, my wife and myself chose the roast dinners, she went for the turkey and I picked the turkey and pork. Both plates had generous portions of the respective meats and all of them were of excellent quality and cooked to perfection. Along with the meat came seasonal vegetables, a Yorkshire pudding, roast potatoes and stuffing all accompanied with lashings of gorgeous gravy (See what I did there). Obviously, the main attraction for most people is the food but there's more to it at the Waggon here, you really do feel the warm, friendly atmosphere immediately you're met by any of these four lovely people :- Sam, Tony, Paul and Barry. It also must be said that the rest of the staff are no different which makes visiting here such a pleasurable experience. Other features are their specials nights and one of particular note is fish and chips night. Some time ago, I said to myself, I won't have fish and chips except from a reputable fish and chip shop that, was turned on its head when I sampled the ones at the Waggon. Absolutely superb. We now live in Wakefield but that hasn't prevented us from returning, whenever we can, to this very special place.

We’ve really been enjoying our visits to the Waggon & Horses. We are welcomed into a warm pub, eat delicious meals, from Sunday Lunch to Friday Fish & Chips to A La Carte, and the service is polite, friendly and very efficient. The whole experience is a treat. Thank you.

Wonderful meal. Lovely atmosphere. Never been before and only 20 minutes from home. An absolute gem of a restaurant/pub. Already planning to return again and again.

I had the pleasure of experiencing exceptional service from Fran at the Waggon & Horses Restaurant. Her positive attitude and attention to detail elevated our dining experience. The thick and flavorful gravy added a delightful touch to the meal, showcasing the restaurant's commitment to culinary excellence. Highly commendable!

Best food in the Stocksbridge/ Barnsley area not cheap but worth every penny.

Stopped here during our walk for some drinks and a snack. Chips and Pigs in Blankets were lovely. Friendly staff too!

Excellent food and staff very welcoming

All staff was very friendly and welcoming. Food was excellent as was the waiter/waitressing servic. e

Had a lovely Christmas meal with family .Food was great.

Went for Xmas dinner. Food was excellent, as was the service.

We went as a group of 46? They did a great job with food Christmas dinner. Very friendly staff.

Have been a couple of times recently after not visiting for years. It is a bit more on the expensive side. More towards 16 per meal. Which I guess isn't all that bad. Kids menu. With entertainment pack. Friendly staff Good food. Chips are divine.

Being publicans ourselves we notice a lot of things others don't. This place serves excellent food and all the staff made us feel welcome. We had lunch today and I have to say the homemade pie was delicious, we will be back. Thankyou

On arrival we were shown to our reserved table by very pleasant staff. Our seats were comfortable, and the place was warm and welcoming. There was a very varied menu, including a la carte and specials. When the food came, in good time, it was cooked to perfection and reasonably priced. We had a wonderful visit and would recommend.

Great place and great atmosphere, will certainly be going back again

Came here for my friends birthday today, was great from start to finish very professional and couldn't do enough for you. Lots of gf options which I loved and there was a surprise for my little boy after his meal which was a lovely touch. Would love to come again!

Lovely food and wine as always. Staff were very attentive.

We have never had a bad experience here. It is our go to place when visiting family. My daughter is coeliac, and she knows that she can trust them to serve her a gluten free meal. Food is well cooked and well presented. Sunday roasts are very generous portions. The Yorkshire puddings are very good! Staff are pleasant and efficient.

Would definitely recommend a visit here. The service was great, very warm and welcoming. Food was lovely and the pub has such a nice cosy atmosphere.

Excellent food, and excellent Service

As soon as we walked in the staff was brilliant and attentive gave us a choice of tables . The food was amazing and it was nice when I said I wanted the lamb cannon that the waiter said good choice it was his favourite too. We will be back could not fault it and highly recommend it

One of the best meals I have ever had. Great service and good atmosphere.

Great local pub. Food was excellent. Paul was extremely friendly and helpful. Thanks

Lovely food, great atmosphere, great staff, but a little bit expensive.

Great food and good selection of drinks. Staff always jolly and helpful.

Found this place on trip advisor. A Gluten free heaven. Nearly every dish and all the sweets were GF. Even if you are not GF this place is superb. First the service was excellent. Paul and his team Chloe, Millie and Charlie were very friendly and always on hand. The food was first class 2 x Sunday lunches, Fish Linguini and a large battered fish and chips. All followed by a choice of 7 sweets . Sticky toffee was my choice. Although an hour away from where we live, we will certainly be back.

We had a very good Sunday choice of meals.

Interesting menu and presentation.

A very friendly laid-back place to eat

Having enjoyed our first visit so much, we took the folks out for an evening meal. Having missed out on the sponge pudding last time, there was method in not ordering starters. Two meat and potato pies and beer battered king prawns all being gluten free ordered with a non gf lasagne and garlic bread. As before the pie was delicious with chunky pieces of meat lining the bottom of the dish with a jug of thick tasty gravy to keep adding to the meal ( although I didn’t appreciate we’d paid extra for gf gravy until I looked at the bill when I was writing this ). I would have been interested to know if we hadn’t said gf, if the gravy had been free 🤔 There was a choice of mushy or garden peas and my preference having seen both was the garden variety. Finished the meal with gf cheesecake and sponge pudding with custard. Asked for an extra spoon so we could share and as such, we got lashings of custard as two little jugs appeared. Service from Paul as before was spot on and also from the lady who served the puddings although I didn’t catch her name. A really good evening with excellent food. Next visit; Sunday lunch.

Very slow service. Limited menu and priced as though something special when in reality it’s the same food as all pub restaurants. Reading through the responses it’s clear that she cannot accept constructive criticism and respect the findings of customers.

I hadn’t been to Oxspring for years, my family comes from penistone but as time goes on life happens! But my partner was researching places to go and chose the Waggon and Horses. Well, it was that good we went twice in a week! It is evident they pride themselves on excellence and customer service!! The food was nostalgically delicious and gave me all the feels of home, which is always a win! I feel in my heart we will become regulars now!

Lovely countryside pub. Historic building. Beautiful views. Food and service excellent. Was very busy but we were able to get a table quickly. Outdoor seating area too and ample parking spaces.

We visited for the first time yesterday for Sunday lunch on the recommendation of our friend. Just wanted to say it was delicious, the roast beef was so tender and the creamy mash was to die for. We loved it so much we’ve booked to come again. Got to say the restaurant staff were great, very attentive and friendly, nothing was too much trouble.

We had the Lasagne and the Haddock and Chips. The standard of the food was truly excellent. A lovely meaty lasagne and very fresh and succulent haddock, both perfectly cooked. The service was both friendly and efficient. The standard of the drinks was also excellent. A very nice Merlot, beautifully served, and whilst John Smith's is a fairly standard draught beer it was nicely chilled (for those who like it that way) and formed a nice head. The best compliment we can pay is that we thoroughly enjoyed the food and drink, and felt totally relaxed here. Well done Sam and Tony - here's to the next 25 years! Chris & Diane

Fantastic menu, delicious food, brilliant service.

Lovely lunch at this Lovely pub. We were cycling on the trans pennine trail and stopped here and had two great hot sandwiches with chips. It was a nice day so we sat outside and enjoyed the view

Fabulous food. Amazing service. Burgers are pricy, but worth it. Highly recommend if you are in the area.

Sunday lunch on the 23-07-23. We are so lucky to have the Wagon and Horses close to us. We know that when we eat here we are going to be incredibly well looked after. The team are welcoming and attentive without being intrusive. The food (4 types of meats on offer, locally produced where possible) is of the highest quality and the Yorkshires great. They have a specials board and an ever changing deserts menu. I cannot recommend the Wagon and Horses highly enough. A family business which is a real credit to the patrons Tony and Sam!

We are never disappointed here. Great food and great service. Staff go out of their way to make you feel welcome. The whole table had meat and potato pies. They were delicious! An excellent lunch!

An excellent meal from start to finish. The food was superb, I had Lamb Cannon (amazing), my wife had Belly Pork (delicious). The service was impeccable. We also got the 20% special offer off our meal.

Fabulous food. Excellent service. Not the cheapest but fantastic value for money. Well worth it

Sublime meals all round,staff very welcome and friendly, the favourite of all was the home made meat and potato pie 😋😋😋😁

Brilliant atmosphere and the staff are welcoming cannot do enough!. The food is second to none! Absolutely beautiful!!

Came today for a birthday lunch and what a treat! Lovely atmosphere and welcoming. I had the lunchtine meat and potato pie with mushy peas and would definitely recommend it. The meat was tasty and succulent and lovely thick gravy. Also shared a portion of home made chips which werd also delicious. Good value too with 20% off through July!!

We didn't book and just walked in and on a friday teatime, they found room for my husband and me. So glad as the food was Delicious. I even squeezed in desert and it was very tasty. Friendly Staff. Family run business. Would highly recommend

This place was as good as it gets but the last twice I've visited its been nothing special. Needs to up its game to visit previous high standards.

Called in for Sunday lunch today. Absolutely beautiful, couldn't fault it. Staff were so lovely and friendly. Would recommend this place to anyone. Will definitely be returning. 5* from us.

Dog walkers not welcome and the food is overpriced.

Very expensive for what you get we ordered the burger+bacon that came with just chips for £16.95 and a jacket potato for £9, the burger price is just too expensive for what it is where is the salad on the side? as for the jacket...

Brilliant experience all round. We usually pop in for their lunch menu, which is great and well priced, but I've finally had the Sunday roast (beef for me) - fabulous flavours, everything cooked to perfection. Best of all though is the service - all the staff are spot on, friendly, happy and attentive, so I expect their bosses make a working environment where all that is possible. Thoroughly recommended - and we usually try to book in advance for weekends.

We’d heard about this place being good for gluten free food and as we stopping in Holmfirth thought we’d give it a go… great decision. Seated quickly as we’d booked although this didn’t at first appear necessary, it was later. A quick perusal of the...

Called for Sunday lunch, service was brilliant as was the food. Good sized portions too. Excellent pint of Landlord to wash it down too. Very impressed with the gluten-free options, if you've got coeliac you'll be fine here.

We ate at the wagon less than 6 months & the food was lovely & reasonably priced .. hence our return on Friday.. however although the food was very nice the ridiculous hike in the price of the food is a joke ... £25 for...

Me and my fiancée called here for a Sunday lunch after being disappointed just up the road, by the travellers, the Sunday lunch was absolutely gorgeous, filling, drinks were lovely

Absolutely delicious meals and beer. Top Service!

Cannot recommend this place enough. We came for a quiet meal for my dad's birthday and ended up staying for the quiz which was so much fun. The pub has a very friendly and welcoming atmosphere, the landlords couldn't have been more lovely and Sam...

Visited for Sunday lunch, good choice of roasts. Big portions and very tasty, staff were friendly and attentive and puddings were also lovely. Would recommend for a hearty roast.

Genuinely friendly and welcoming staff. Great tasting food from a good menu selection. Good beer.

Lovely meal, fish & chip Fri, onion rings, plus pork & chicken , plus we had some lovely puds too. Syrup sponge, roulade & ice cream.

Really excellent country pub with character
