The Wentworth Arms in Barnsley

From walking in to leaving everything was spot on, food was excellent same with the service and drinks.

I went for an interview between 10-12 nothing was said to except your late I arrived at 10.30 the way the interview came across that it was a group meeting. We was taken upstairs it was bitter cold we got offered a drink which excepted. We were told a talk at 11.15 nothing happened and a video call at 11.45 again nothing happened. When we came downstairs two people where sat watching a video one with a wentworth top on Nailmaker. I asked us to leave with no response why. Just let us out no goodbye nothing.

Lovely traditional pub. Very busy as Xmas but with a good atmosphere.

Unhelpful member of staff! Never been to the pub before but were attending a party in their function room - The Loft. Didn't know where that was so, went into the pub to ask for help. Member of staff - wearing a 'Wentworth' t-shirt - said she didn't know anything about a party or where The Loft was. Fortunately we met another person attending the party and they showed us where it was!

I recently had the displeasure of visiting this drug den! Let me tell my story! I was invited up to Barnsley, South Yorkshire, for my nieces 17th birthday. She went to use the Ladies bathroom, and returned to our table 10mins later..absolutely distraught! And in floods of tears! After calming her down, she explained what had happened. As she had opened the toilet cubicle to use it, she was faced with 2 females snorting white powder through a straw off the top of the toilet lid! She never spoke to them, just turned round and tried to leave. A that point one of the girls grabbed her by the arm, and threatened her that if she said anything, they would wait for her outside. When she explained this to me and her mother, we took this issue up with a person behind the bar. We were absolutely gobsmacked by their response. The response was, that if we Didn't like it, we could find somewhere else to drink! Absolutely unbelievable! I've never been treated like this anywhere before . Keep away from this place!

We recently hired out the loft function space at wentworth arms and it was a lovely space! We hired it out for a 1st birthday party as there wasn't a lot of kids so we wanted an adult friendly place too. They let us have some soft play in the area for the little ones and it all fit perfectly. Everyone loved the good! Pulled pork sandwiches were a great size and the pork pies, sausage rolls and chicken was amazing, even for the little ones! Will definitely use the venue again for another event!

I've not been in to try the drinks or food. However while working in the area I needed to visit a local shop for some insulation tape. I couldn't find anywhere to park without causing an obstruction. I was so glad to see a sign on the pub car park saying please use the car park for local shops while the pub is closed. Fair play to the owners management of the Wentworth Arms.

So happy the Kitchen has re-opened again with a cracking new menu! We had the meat feast (6 meat under) pizza on Saturday night and it was unreal. Loads of tasty topping. Delish. Living local to the Wentworth, we'll definitely be visiting more frequently now the food is back on

Lovely food, good atmosphere, busy for a Tuesday afternoon could be 20% off full bill 😀

Had my girlfriend’s 21st birthday party here. Couldn’t have picked a better place. Great space, friendly staff, good set of drinks and just all round everything I wanted. Highly recommended (We didn’t have food by choice, hence why I haven’t rated that)

Went for an anniversary party, the bar prices I thought were a bit steep but the food was lovely.

Booked The Loft…Great Venue, great location…. Booked here for my mum and dads 50th Wedding anniversary in the afternoon this past Saturday.. Everyone had a fantastic time. Fantastic room for any event, and the staff are brilliant too. Thanks go out to Leah and Harry for all their hard work on the day, and support leading up to the day…. Food was really really good with a great selection on the bar! On behalf of my mum and dad and all of us…. Thank you! Thinking of booking…. Do not hesitate. XxxX

Four fantastic local for real ales. Up to four real ales including locally brewed Nailmaker Brewery Beers and usually a just beer

Bottomless brunch with friends, was a good deal and we enjoyed ourselves.

First time here for many years.. staff brilliant.

We had the bottomless brunch amazing value and fantastic staff would recommend and will be doing it again happy happy happy 5*

Asked if we would be having a second drink at 9pm and then last orders called at 9.30pm despite 4 tables in the beer garden ( a lovely evening) being occupied and 3 inside. Customers are obviously an inconvenience to the bar staff.

If you like village pubs, then look no further.

Lovely place, warm welcome, love it here

Had our wedding here at The Loft last Sunday and if I could do it all again I would in an instant. Absolutely fantastic venue and they couldn’t do enough for us. Very easy to contact and keep in touch with throughout any changes or questions we had. Food and drink was amazing and so was the atmosphere. Just want to say a special thank you to Harry, Leah and Sarah; from the moment we enquired up to the day itself they made sure it was a day to remember 😊

Went for a wedding and it was a really nice experience. The staff were lovely and couldn't do enough for you. Lovely food and a good selection at the bar. They even let us take our doggie in and treated her nicely as well. Really professional and friendly. Helped make it a really special occasion. Thank You

Brill atmosphere and lovely staff

Fantastic range of Beers, great atmosphere, well worth a visit.

As usual comfy place to pop in for little drink 🐣🐰🤩

Great entertainment great staff beautiful pub

Held my 60th celebration in the Loft. Everything was fabulous …. The food…. The vibe….would highly recommend. The organisation was seamless and stress free. Thank you 💃🎷

When I went it was way too crowded, didn't have standard spirits available at the time. Bartenders were friendly

Nice pub brilliant atmosphere great music.

Good beer, and the heating was on!

Cold, lifeless and no food. Staff were polite drink was good

Lovely place, good size for a party, visited twice now & enjoyed both visits. Shame they don't cater for vegans, the none vegan catering let it down.

Awesome place for new ale ever week, they allow food brought in take aways ect, dogs allowed really friendly bar staff

Previously left a fair 3 stars stating "Nice friendly pub. Shame they don't offer food". No malice and a genuine appraisal However, I feel I now need to retract that due the passive aggressive attitude of the owner. Considering their hospitality profession you'd think they'd know how to communicate. I suspect their staffing issues is not down to covid but more the self inflicted working atmosphere. Needless to say they'll never see another penny of mine in any of their pubs.

Great for real ales, staff very knowledgeable and engaging. Great atmosphere on a sunny day. New menu avaliable and kitchen back upto speed now covid is no longer an issue.

Nice outside beer garden and good Verity of drinks to choose from

Popped in on Saturday and the place was heaving, struggling to find a seat! Possibly because Oliver Harris was singing and he has a great following!

Vibrant bar in the village centre. Friendly locals and staff. A choice of real ales which were well kept. I would visit again if I was in the area.

As good as ever, but now selected beers £3 a pint even better reason to visit

Lovely place, great atmosphere, good entertainment, lovely outdoor seating area

We attended a private party at The Loft (a function room above the pub) this afternoon and it was spot on. Lovely little place, intimate but spacious enough with its own private bar. Really excellent.

Visited the Wentworth Arms for the Sunday pub quiz, which is great, and have been doing this with friends for the last four or so weeks. I’m vegetarian and, as the snacks behind the bar are a little limited, I usually also take a chocolate bar or something along, this has never been an issue. This week I’d bought a couple of drinks (Diet coke as I don’t drink alcohol) and some crisps from behind the bar, and also took with me a chocolate bar. Part way through the quiz I was approached by a man, who turned out to be the owner, who sharply told me, this was not a “bring your own buffet”. I have no issue with being told not to eat snacks not purchased in the pub, if that is the pubs policy, but it didn’t have to be explained in such a rude manner, so I decided to leave the pub. My friends also left at the same time. As we reached the other side of the pub car park, the owner decided he wasn’t done, and came out to further make his point. He explained I “nurse a pint of coke all evening” (I’d actually spent £10 in the 90 minutes I was there) I’m “not even a customer”, as I don’t spend enough and then tried to educate me on what pays the staffs wages. After it became apparent how unreasonable he was, we walked away. In summary, great quiz, lovely bar staff, very rude owner! I won’t be going back!

"Well you're not really customers you don't spend enough" Rude owner, was upset with us for bringing snacks which is fair enough if they're house rules but the attitude of the owner and the way he spoke to us was gross. *UPDATE TO CLARIFY SOME POINTS FROM THE OWNERS REPLY* - I'd got to the Wentworth at about 6pm, 2 hours before the quiz started my friends joined me at about 7 - I'd had 3 pints of coke by the time they arrived as I walked it from town. - The chinese takeaway my friend had brought and he bought a drink from the bar immediately after putting the food down. -The issue wasn't the food, it was the way the owner spoke to us that was the problem, and following us outside after we left to continue to speak aggressively. As the owner was drinking I think there's some confusion about the events as the confrontation took place outside, without his daughter after we'd left. I don't drink, and remember the events fairly clearly. The problem was not the policies around food but the way the owner behaved and spoke to us. Which we tried to explain outside away from other guests. I hope this clarifies things from our perspective :) *RE the 'nobhead comment* - If this was the issue, why was it not mentioned outside once? We were confused and surprised when we learned someone had meant to call you a nobhead. We thought initially you'd come to apologise for the tone as it seems logical you wouldn't want to lose custom? Esp as we've been coming for last 5-6 weeks every Sunday, with 3-6 of us and we'd planned to bring another couple of our friends the following weekend.

Good atmosphere, singer on in beer garden who was very good

Fabulous pub Fabulous atmosphere Fabulous drinks Fabulous staff!!😃

Lovely to spend time with friends outside the beer garden in this gorgeous weather.

Bad staff with a chip on her shoulder x

Brilliant place, good beers, good staff 👍

Great pub, excellent staff and service. Real fire creates a fantastic atmosphere.

Great pub with a good sized outside seating area, very friendly staff. At quieter times would feel comfortable taking my little boy for a quick pit stop, though I prefer to visit in my child free time!

Would have stayed longer if the buses had run to time so it was literally a quick half and run. From what I recall it seemed alright.

Lovely pub, good outside area now summer is approaching

I wasn't expecting much today , but as soon as I arrived at the Wentworth Arms i was greeted , then asked to disinfect my hands & then shown to a table. The service was exceptional & the food was even better. To start with the menu is pricey so I was dubious, but when the food was served it was Angels 😇 in your mouth. Spent all afternoon in there n recommend it. 7 pints later im still in heaven . Saturday afternoon is all I can talk about but really enjoyed it . --- take a punt. 😅🙏🥦🍷🍺

Always a pleasant experience Log fire good beers and live music.

Led a fabulous naming ceremony today at The Loft at The Wentworth Arms! Lovely venue and the staff did everything they could to make it all go swimmingly!

Friendly staff and excellent drinks choice. Our visit over Christmas was great fun.

A nice pint & a lovely toastie fire on a rainy day

Lovely friendly staff and pleasent surrounding

Quality selection of beers! Salt - Huckabuck 😍 Beavertown - Neckoil 😍

Was ok outside area is nice had good atmosphere singer was good.

Great place for socialising, lots going on, live music upstairs. Large areas, clean and well presented.

Had a lovely time with friends but it was very difficult to talk to each other as a a group of people who had obviously been in for some time were very loud . It was Friday night and last orders were at 10pm so a bit disappointed as our evening was cut short .

Staff great beautiful surroundings landlord very approachable

Just called in for a pint or more after work with a mate in the beer garden. A perfect setting on good sized tables with very efficient and prompt table service. Great to have this place in Mapplewell.

Stopped it after a day at the YSP. Nice non-chain pub. Food seemed like it was made on site which was nice and was actually surprisingly good (if slightly on the unhealthy side). Decor and music were great and they had a nice selection of beers on tap. Overall would definitely go again if I was in the area.

Was waiting 1 hour to be served annoyed that other tables were being served twice in the time we were waiting . When we finally got our drinks ordered them again but was still waiting after 1 hour and 10 minutes so cancelled order and left Bad customer service it should not have took so long to be served May not go there until after complete lockdown over or maybe never

Great beer garden and pizza. In current covid restrictions worth going to

Booked in for a 2 hour slot tonight, got our seats then waited 45 minutes for a drink! The food came before our drink! Only managed to have 2 pints in 2 hour. I won't be returning anytime soon. Disappointed to say they've been closed for so long.....

Eat at the wentworth often the loft has just been opened up and refurbed it is a fantastic covid safe space food is out of this world. We ait here again on a Thursday evening had the sharing dishes which you can choose from a number of tapas style dishes we chose nachos the black pudding hash with fried egg on top ,chicken wings with sticky sauce chicken goujons with dipping sauce and potato croteques with blue cheese topping it was fabulous would highly recommend the place

Our first visit & very impressed with the food quality, atmosphere & great service. I can highly recommend the steak & ale pie, lasagne and chicken pizza. All of the meals were outstanding- thank you!

Mid week treat last night, a few drinks followed by dinner. The food here is very varied, they put different specials on too. It’s always very fresh and tasty 😋 and the service is professional but friendly. Can highly recommend The Wentworth Arms.

Great local friendly staff best pub in barnsley

Fast becoming my favourite place.

Great little bar, under staffed, badly run.

Very well organised with social distancing, Very polite staff and the food was lovely!

Had a lovely Saturday afternoon visit to The Wentworth beer garden. Fabulous food - pizza, burgers, fish and chips and chicken goujons - all first class. The brilliant, friendly staff are doing a great job organising service under the Covid restrictions, and we felt safe and relaxed the entire time we were there. So good to be back!

Overall, it was very disappointing, though the staff were lovely, the food was very basic (below wetherspoons standard) but presented nicely and there was 1hr40 minute wait with no notice of the wait time. We.. Were..hungry. But, even at a hungry level, I just can't justify paying £15 for 3 chicken strips, 2 fish fingers in a wrap (fish Tacos), and 6 dough balls that were bland. The chicken wings were tender but soggy and fatty... Would be more preferred if crispy. The best part were the onion rings which were lovely. I hope the food is nicer and worth the money in the future as we would have loved to have gone home with a full belly after that wait!

Old country pub come modern cocktail bar.. serving an excellent brunch rivalling those served in the centre of Leeds .. Amazing food everytime we visit .. thank you

Lovely local pub servicing good quality food ,wide variety & some good mid week food offers.

Been with friends a few times. Food is never anything less than stunning. Because it's a traditional (I think Edwardian) pub, the seating is very "cosy"... Not recommended if you like privacy or don't want a stranger's leg rubbing against yours while you eat! Honestly need to try it, though.

Had a lovely burger and chips tonight. Very flavourful and tasty. Glass of house white went down a treat. Very good value and nicely presented.

Omg! The pizzas are to die for! Warm and friendly atmosphere... we will be back!

Very modern bar and drinks area, not like the typical outdated pubs around, drinks are rather expensive but it’s what you expect. Great for a causal date or catch up. Would recommend

Good pub that has live music on Sundays

Lovely food, 2 pizzas for £12. However I nearly died when it was £8.40 for a double gin that’s a reyt rip off!!!!! £8.40 for one drink???? Having mi pants down

Always. Summer winter. Singers on. In afternoon. Relaxing. Food great if ya want it. Absolutely spot on

Old style country pub feel. Friendly greeting. The food was delicious. Had the steak and ale pie, shortcrust pasty top with rich gravy inside. Amazing

Great music on a Sunday afternoon/evening. Good beer and super food platters.

We went for my sons birthday the food was really nice everyone enjoyed it. It was very busy and you cant pre book a table but we will definitely be back soon

nice quite cozy pub only visited the area for the day but will defiantly call in for a pint when im back there.

Been here a handful of times over the last few month and only got good things to say. Food is delicious. The sharing platter is stunning. Easily fills two people, with halloumi fries, pulled pork balls, fried chicken. Lovely staff, really kind and helpful. Lovely atmosphere too. Recent visit was for my birthday and have to say it was a brilliant night. Thankyou.

very nice but plates would be better

Friendly as always - haven't had the food but it always looks very nice - usually there for happy hour 😁 x

Lovely atmosphere, welcoming staff, nice food. Drinks on expensive side.

Excellent service and environment, great friendly atmosphere. Food is fantastic and the place is dog friendly. Five star 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟

Lovely village pub catering for all ages very friendly staff and clientele

We had a nice meal from the special offer menu and good atmosphere, Guinness on tap, yessss...

Food is good and reasonably priced. It has a nice range of different food including the classic pub grub.

It was absolutely stunning... Amazing food... And service....

Cosy pub that does food and has a good selection of ales.

Amazing food. Lovely vibe and the perfect afternoon entertainment in Georgie Harrison (vocalist).
