The White Bull Restaurant in Barnsley

Visited today with my Dad, we enjoyed a cup of tea and the gorgeous Manchester Tart! We were assisted by Paola who was so lovely and helpful and smiled! Some of the other waiting staff were unbelievably miserable.

Everything about this place is great! The food, the quality and service. Tried their burgers, Yorkshire pudding with beef, sandwiches. All were fab.

Today I had the worst sandwich. I need gluten free bread which was available. Often gluten free bread by its nature is made in small slices. That's OK I accept that. But Todays sandwich had virtually no filling. I had ordered mozzarella pesto and sundried tomato. It had enough tomato a mere hint of pesto and the mozzarella had said hello to the bread but had left just as quickly. At almost £13 it was very disappointing. I wanted to complain but didn't want a fuss so didn't.

Yorkshire pudding with beef stew was nice,

What a let down! We recently booked in for the supper club after visiting the farm. After spending a fantastic day on the farm and experiencing great service at all other aspects and superb service and quality of food at the other eateries on site we expected so much more. The service was very slow. We ordered drinks from one person, but they explained that someone else would take our food order. We found this a little strange and perhaps part of the reason the service was so slow. I ordered the Sirloin steak for main course which had a £5 supplement. When it arrived it looked great. Generous portion size and looked nicely seared on the outside. I'd ordered it "medium" but I was very disappointed as it was totally overdone and ruined in my opinion, compared to how I like my steak. I'm kicking myself now as I should have sent it back and got a new streak. My drinks waiter did offer this when he visited our table after 20 mins , but as I'd already waited over an hour for my food already and I didn't want to wait that long again, so I didn't take him up on the offer. I wanted to discuss my complaint with the main food waiter or Maitre'd, but they then avoided our table as they knew we weren't happy. I actually felt sorry for the drinks waiter (Callum) as seemed to be left to deal with us as soon it was apparent there was a problem. We did have the £5 supplement removed from our bill, but to be honest I don't think I should have paid at all for my meal as it was so poor. The sourdough bread that I had with my starter was also quite stale and this was the same for the flatbread which came with my wife's main course. Overall this was a very disappointing experience compared to the rest of the things at cannon hall farm. We were in the restaurant for nearly 2 hours and only had 2 courses. We were going to have dessert too, but as my main course was ruined by an overcooked steak and the service was painfully slow we decided to leave (once they eventually brought our bill). I'd definitely avoid this restaurant if I ever visited again which is a shame as the rest of the eateries on site are very good. A poor show from the White Bull on our visit.

Came for Father’s Day breakfast, waited 40 minutes for drinks and an hour and a half for very poor quality poached eggs on toast. Service was appalling and when we challenged the manager about our wait she didn’t seem interested! In my opinion this place has got way too greedy caring more about what’s going in the till rather than customer service, we will not be going back!

Don't come on a busy day it take about an hour

I had the steak pie meal and it was nice, I actually ate most of it. The gravy was bog standard granules which I'm not a fan of so I made do with the gravy in the heart of pie sauce

Had a catch up with friends. Lovely atmosphere. Friendly staff Limited vegetarian option. A suggestion pudding platter to share.

Lovely burger and chips with a nice side salad and crunchy onion rings. Staff were friendly and up front about wait times which was good to see. It was very busy but the food was worth the wait

Really good quality food, great staff

We came down from Dumfries Sunday and visited on Monday, great visit to farm and met Rob and Dave had my pictures done with them, made my year! Ate,at white bull I had the Farmer Rob burger which was huge but great and served with a lovely salad,chips,onion rings and coleslaw. My hubby had the southern fried chicken, thought it was very reasonable the pricing, service brilliant. Very clean and such a warm welcome, already planning to come back in July for the supper club, great job everyone 🙂🙂

This is the first time I have been here and will be the last, ordered tuna mayonnaise in jacket potato,absolutely awful,the potato was bad which was visible and it was rock hard,I sent it back and they brought me another one out which was the same,the tuna mayo was dry hardly any mayo at all,cost £9.50 absolute waste of money,maybe the young staff and the chefs need some training on quality control before it is sent out to customers. Very disappointed 😞

Went for a meal to the Friday supper club. First visit and the food and service did not disappoint. Large portions so we couldn't manage 3 courses. We had the sirloin for mains and the whole plate of food was exceptional. Serving staff were friendly and polite. Well worth the money.

Excellent food which was cooked to order., and piping hot. Limited menu choices for vegetarians. Good atmosphere. Staff really well trained in customer service. Very, very enjoyable evening. Would definitely book again.

The roads going in to cannon hall are not brilliant so the food was cooked ok the service was slow between starters and the main meal and pudding and I thought it was expensive we put it down were cannon hall is so it will be a long time before we go back

Friday evening supper club - Fantastic setting, food stunning although the vegetarian choice was very limited.

Dine in had a great meal very busy have to book for Friday night

Excellent food, great service, lovely atmosphere Had a really tasty very late lunch after a visit to the farm to see all our favourites Had fish goujons and husband had a burger with onion rings and chips

Huge range of chilled drinks. Tasty bakes. Very pleasant, obliging young man serving, good at his job. I didn't dine in, I just grabbed some bakes to take home. Homemade flapjack at £2.75 - a good, tasty chunk. Homemade florentine at £3.25 and a homemade choc chip shortbread at £2.75. Good prices for the size of them.

Never had a good meal here yet, my wife enjoys it but I must be choosing the wrong things! This was supposed to be homemade Yorkshire pudding with beef stew and root vegetables. £13 and it's a tasteless frozen pudding with overcooked stew and no veg in sight. It's not even an aunt Bessie's pudding! Definitely won't be going back.

Took our Granddaughter to the farm for her 2nd birthday and dropped into the White Bull for lunch. The food and service was great, want to point out how friendly the staff were! We even popped back in on way out for drinks and desert and ice cream for Granddaughter.

Great food. Good prices. Lovely staff. A really lovely member of staff went above and beyond to get me a glass of water when I was feeding my baby. Really appreciate the care towards me and my young daughter.

Had a fantastic breakfast, best I've had in a long time. Lovely atmosphere and friendly staff. Will be back!

Me and my Mrs have been here a few times with our son now, and always had really fast food service and great quality food. I would highly suggest this place to anyone looking for a reasonable priced quality meal.

Not been for a couple of years but did not enter as prices gone up with a bang since last here 2/3 year ago, looking in the dining room looked like more people had the same reason for not dining here. A family of 4 you be talking about £50 for meals and drinks where 2/3 year ago would have been half that.

Overpriced as he'll, food was below average, customer service needed to improve as they're was not care at all. My family ordered 2 cooked breakfasts, and eggs benedict, the eggs on cooked breakfast was under cooked, toast was so hard more like cardboard and the eggs benedict was sooo disappointing more liked boiled eggs instead of poached. But what shocked me the most was the mark up on beans on toast, they charge nearly £6 for beans on toast........ won't be coming back again

visited cannon hall café white bull restaurant for breakfast a couple of weeks ago, I must admit it was one of worst breakfasts I ever had and the cost cannot be justified at all. the large cooked breakfast, fried eggs wasn't cooked, the toast was harder than cardboard, the eggs benedict was supposed to be poached eggs but more like boiled, the service by waiting staff was rubbish with no care at all. I shocked to notice that they charge over £6 for beans on toast! the policy on refill coffee needs reviewing as well. as I asked for refill @11:32 and the café worker refused stating the cut off point was 11:30am for refills, to say that was supposed to be good fresh produce from the farm itself the expectations were met to be good, and this wasn't. me and my family left cannon hall café extremely disappointed and wont be coming again any time soon.

Paid £9.50 for beef and onion sandwich with gravy. Beef was good but the bread was like a cheap Asda’s own brand bap. The accompanying onion rings were rock hard with a slither of onion - could be they’d fallen down the back of the oven 14 years ago and only recently salvaged to complete this order. Chips ok but lot of chips scraps at bottom of the bowl. Nice enough place but had much better here in the past.

Lovely vegetarian breakfast! Great portion sizes ! Friendly staff!

We like here, and often come for food. We cane to look around the house but it wasn't open until 11 so stopped in wb for breakfast. The order has never come so quick. Beans on toast. Understandable. They're pretty easy The hash browns were very disappointing, they didn't look fresh they were crisped up from sitting in a warming tray I think. Even the small one wasn't so fussed. Slight confusion over tea/coffee. I read it as a free one with any spend over 5.50 but it's a free refill not the tea/coffee itself. Staff were alright. Quiet morning as it was midweek not weekend when you'd expect more visitors ergo more likely to be fresh food. Alas we will be back as I love the veggie lasagne! And chippies

Have eaten at the lucky pup part of the white bull restaurant on numerous occasions the food has always been top quality Today however was a different case I ordered a jacket potato with tuna mayo no sooner had i returned to my table it was served to me was taken aback it would of been served so soon,the skin was overdone and could tell it had been standing a long time Complained was told thats how they are served 🤷‍♂️

We came for a family lunch and ordered some bacon sandwiches, fish goujons, soup of the day and a children’s meal.. all very very average. The soup was ok but the bread accompanying was basic and dry! Soup deserves crusty bread at least. Not impressed considering the high prices.. I don’t think we’ll come back.

White Bull Farm is a mediocre zoo with two terrible restaurants attached to it. This is a business, where a few animals are on display, not a farm at all. After COVID the restaurants lost anything good they had on the menu. No more steak, no more grill, just some processed and frozen dishes like the ever tasteless burgers, prepackaged sandwiches and a few other even less appealing options you can find in any pub without a cook. The road to the "FARM" is very narrow, 1.5 lanes and accident prone due to overgrown hedges. Overall, the establishment is the equivalent of a £2 microwave frozen dinner with a flashy plastic wrap.

We visited today, lunchtime. We like the White Bull and visit quite often. I'm afraid today the three meals weren't fit to serve and the people who prepared it for service knew it too. Overcooked, Luke warm, scrappy bottom of tray chips. I think a little bit of respect for the public and their hard earned money is required. The out front staff were excellent as always. We'll be back, better luck next time.

Have had cakes and coffee during the day and visited the Friday Super Club. The coffee and cake in the afternoon was yummy and good value (offer). The Super Club food was superb and the staff attentive and friendly. We had a big plate of mussels followed by a rare steak, both were delicious. The steak was the best we have had for a while and cooked perfectly. Will book again.

My friends all had hot sandwiches.. which were great. I had a salad.. with the 'roast vegetables etc' which was disappointing. This was an assembly meal .. like 70s school dinner ! Just slices of salad ingredients dumped on a plate .. roast peppers.. out of a jar ! Pile of sundried tomatoes ... heavily (ready made) dressed main salad .. nothing imaginative or inspired about it. Shame .. it'd be very easy to produce something much more appealing visually, texture and taste wise... and at £15 overpriced. Also .. no fresh orange juice 'we can't buy the oranges ' ... really?? Pop into the Farm shop .. they're selling both oranges and freshly squeezed juice !!

Visited with friends. Great atmosphere, staff were attentive, helpful and friendly and the food was amazing and great value for money. Would recommend

Lasagne, veg Lasagne, and scampi were some of the best main meals we have had eating out in a long time. Definitely recommend 👌

The old lady in till very rude. And grumpy, all I ask is, could you cut the Fat of bacon, her response, no cut it yourself we haven’t got time to mess about with that. She wasted more time talking to me, then they would’ve done cutting the fact of bacon. Spend £60 in there with my family for her to be rude and not get what I wanted to eat. Too old, too rude. Too grumpy. Get her of the till.

Great food, great atmosphere and a lovely place to eat. Highly recommended for families. Can't wait to return!

We had the day off work for birthdays so popped in here for lunch and it was good. We had had jacket potato and cheese and club sandwich and chips and it was very tasty. It’s a nice setting and you get served quickly. The staff are nice and friendly.

Food was nice but it didn’t have that home cooked feel I would expect from a cafe /restaurant based on a farm. The Yorkshire puddings seemed frozen to me which was disappointing. The service however was really good.

Great food.. good value.. amazing staff.. particularly Callum!! 👍

Their Friday night Supper Club is definitely worth a visit. Superb food, great atmosphere and the service is second to none.

We have been coming here for quite a few years now mainly as they did the best ham sandwich with mustard mayo. A huge disappointment today. The baguette was filled with a thin sliver of fatty ham. I know businesses are trying to economise but we shan't be returning any time soon. Which is a shame.

Visited on a busy sunny Monday in the school holidays. 2 adults, 2 teens. We had a lovely meal, well organised with friendly and helpful staff. Clean throughout. No complaints at all. There is a range of prices from sandwiches and children’s meals to a decent adult meal. Ordering is done at the servery with food brought to the table. You don’t need a ticket for the farm to enjoy a meal here.

Went today for afternoon tea for 5, it was a small hen do for my daughter,myself, Mum,Auntie and granddaughter, the waitress that served us was fantastic, Sharon you are a credit to Cannon Hall, The White Bull, food was so good, everyone really enjoyed it. Would definitely recommend the afternoon tea, we were all stuffed, thank you xx

After many visits with no complaints I'm sorry to leave this review. The girl didnt seem to understand my order of 2 lots of poached eggs on brown toast and a soya latte.🤷‍♀️..I did repeat it and hoped for the best. After a long wait 2 lots of fried egg on toast came! Sent it back whilst still waiting for my coffee. This time we got our very well done toast with one tepid poached egg. We were hungry and just ate it and left. Felt very short changed to be honest. I will give it another go next week and hope I get a member of staff that can get my uncomplicated order right.

Great place, good few drinks on offer

I visit the restaurant every week..always been great but last month or so everything up £1+..i don't mind paying for quality but the meals are smaller..as i found few weeks ago there's not much difference between fish fingers and fish gouson ..now £9..ridiculous

Visited for lunch today, you can easily get a pram in here and it’s very kid friendly which is great. The toilets are pretty dirty though, and it’s a bit annoying that you have to pay for parking when you are going to spend like £25+ in the cafe. Prices are quite a bit higher than other cafes but the food is nice.

Hit & miss with my party food wise an a complaint not dealt with in a good professional manner....sorry its a no in future from me.

Food is beautiful here can highly recommend the burgers !! 🍔 🤤

Had lunch a week ago with friends. Toasted panini with chips, salad. Was delicious, perfectly served. Hot as it should be. Tea served in lovely teapots with hot water too. It was best tea I have been served for a long time, not weak and tasteless like some. The servery glistened, spotless. Well done..

Nice service, cosily and they make the best yorkshire pudding I have ever eaten!

Friendly staff and lovely atmosphere. Generous portions and everything was very tasty. Only negative is trying to find the place - would benefit from a bit more obvious signage for The White Bull. Will definitely be back.

Went for the Friday Night Supper Club .... 3 courses for £25 ..... worth every penny, it was superb 👌, can highly recomend the brownie & also sticky toffee pudding desserts .... Will definitely be going again ❤😁

Quality food and excellent service. Not our first time there and won't be the last.

Would give this place 6 stars if I could. Great food and service.

Absolutely Brill food was well presented and tasty staff smart and friendly. The bull was very clean and tidy had a wonderful night

Warm welcome and fabulous food. However, service needs improvement. We waited ages for a dessert after our main.......felt we'd been forgotten. Other people nearby were getting served. Had to summon a waiter in the end, but didn't get an apology. Shame, as it spoilt an otherwise lovely evening.

Amazing food at the supper club thought I was in a 5 star restaurant quality of the meat fish dishes and service second to none will definitely e back

Had lunch yesterday and had the beef stew filled Yorkshire pudding, the beef was lovely and tender and the Yorkshire pudding great but the gravy was far, far too salty. I had a large drink of water with the meal and had to drink a pint and a half when I got home. Didn't need so much salt, and we know too much salt isn't healthy.

Fabulous with amazing food, always lovely to eat here ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Really great quality food served. Fast friendly service even when busy.

Carrot cake was delicious, my friend said their jacket potato was the best ever, tea was good & strong! The whole place was spotlessly clean.

Food not quite as hot as it should have been but was very tasty

Plenty of parking easy to get to. Excellent food and drinks. Great service in a clean restaurant.if you go during the day book a trip around the farm and have a walk around Canon Hall museum and Gardens. The farm shop is also well worth a visit.

Lovely food.. service can be a bit iffy..

Went to White Bull after shopping in Farm Shop. Had the biggest bacon sandwich with enough bacon for 2 sandwiches! Great value for money.

Always a joy to visit and Canon Hall Farm. Never a disappointment, food delicious. Shame about all the flies though

Joined a small queue to be seated, about 7-8 minutes later shown to a table. We selected what we would like to eat, so I joined the queue to order the food. 30 mins went by I had moved up 4 places!! There were still at least 15 people in front of me. I have no idea why the service on the till was so slow, as there was plenty of staff milling about. Can’t comment on the food as we gave up.

I did not rate thie breakfast ,small sausage dry bacon ,and I would rather put my own butter on my toast

Absolutely delicious freshly prepared food.Very good value as large portions.Service first class.will come back

Had to queue for over half an hour for food. However the food was amazing, compliments to the chef Tim!

First time there won't be last. The service was excellent and the food Could not of been better, steak cooked to absolute perfection Price was reasonable Well done everyone for making our evening enjoyable

Love it been going years with my disabled brother, fantastic chatty staff

Lovely food for an afternoon meal. Only had a main meal but was enough.

Very nice place to have a snack lunch or main meal. Part of Canon Hall Farm, complex, Cawthorn. Food as always very good, and served by competent staff. A bit on the pricey side though.

Food was amazing, came out promptly. Staff were wonderful nothing was too much trouble. Highly recommended.

Four friends met today for afternoon tea. We brought cakes home because we had eaten enough with sandwiches, quiche, pie and chips. The food was excellent and service first class. Can highly recommend and will definitely go back.

Been here many times and the food is always amazing. The burger is delicious and the salad that it is served with is so nice along with the chips and onion rings. We've sat inside and outside. Both are nice, lots of seating available. Staff are friendly. Lots of choice on the menu. Fabulous walk nearby with gift shop and farm shop. Great value for money. Would suggest suggest they did a few more drink choice e.g - smoothies milkshakes and iced coffees would do well especially in warm weather. Will definitely be returning.

Food is an amazing quality at a great price- onion rings are a must.

When today still a friendly and warm restaurant even with covid theirs plenty of room although I can't remember if the table was social distance like the other places have been to, but I didn't care about that, I got the catch of the day. It came with chips, mushy peas and tartar sauce it was delicious and is a definite will have again dishes. Price was reasonable to say it is a farm restaurant; we had three meals, two large dispensing drinks and a coffee came to about the £38 mark. The staff are friendly, which is always a bonus.

Been here several times always good food and quick keep up the good work

Great food friendly staff safe corvid19

Tasty food with super service, highly recommend!

Brilliant. Excellent food and value for money. Must recommend.

Excellent venue. Love the new menu. Fantastic food made with good quality ingredients and very reasonably priced. Staff are always fantastic, even more so now during this pandemic. We love visiting Cannon Hall farm. It's the only place we feel safe visiting at this time.

Amazing team ensuring everyone is safe and abiding by the rules. Our sever Lydia was very informative and a genuinely lovely person. Thank you for great food and a fab experience!

In August my wife and I ate here. My meal was a burger which was fine. My wife ordered the southern fried chicken burger, advertised as a burger. Usually a chicken burger like this is a slice of chicken breast in seasoned breadcrumbs.. When the food came my wife’s burger consisted of 4 tiny overdone chicken goujons. When we queried this with staff, we were told it is goujons for the chicken burger, not chicken breast. The funny thing is the shop on the site sells chicken breasts.When we got home I emailed the Restaurant, at Cannon Hall Farm. No reply was received. I emailed them again on 19th August, one week later. I received a reply stating a manager would contact me ASAP. I waited until 19th September as I hadn’t from the Restaurant I emailed them again, and received a reply that stated it would be prioritised for someone to contact me re the points I raised. To date a week later I have not heard from the Restaurant.To my mind this is disgraceful customer service. It makes me think all they want is the consumers money, without providing the service to go with it.I still await a reply from this establishment.

Perfect, each ingredient on the plate was well chosen for quality and flavour, and perfectly prepared. The picture is the Farmer's Breakfast, the full English, there are various alternatives available. Spacious, well-preserved venue, well worth a visit.

Popped in for a cuppa and some tray bakes. Had to wait for a while in doorway for someone to come out and organise us a table. It wasn’t busy at all. Would have preferred to order at table to help prevent people moving around too much. Good selection of cakes and tray bakes. Very young staff but they seemed fine.

What a great experience we had here today. We arrived with our excited 5 yo and our 7 week old twins and all of the staff were superb in looking after us and being kind. Our 5 yo told one of the staff that she was really looking forward to trying to see Farmer Rob and Dave. About 10 minutes later that lady brought through Farmer Rob to say hello and have a quick chat. It was unexpected, above and beyond and it made our little girls day. Thank you so much 😁

Visited for breakfast, food was beautiful and service good, disappointed we were charged 30p a sachet for sauce! Wasn’t told there was a charge just gave us a handful of sauces and the 30p charges were on the bill! Who charges for sauces?! And 30p!!!?

Went for lunch with my husband found staff young but polite, tea pot leaked all over tray and just went downhill, beef and onion sandwich very soggy, pie and peas very small portion glad we both ordered chips, pie just didn’t taste right. I have visited this establishment many times before and food has always been lovely. We spent over £25 which isn’t a massive amount but considering we ate hardly anything. Spoke to manager we were eventually refunded £15 which I wasn’t happy with but I wasn’t about to stand in the restaurant arguing. So it cost £10 !!!! For a latte, a couple of sips of tea and a couple of sips of coke. I emailed Richard directly but as far as he can ascertain food was around £12 he didn’t ask about any sides and even though appreciates customer feedback he believes we have been compensated. Very expensive experience and we will not be returning this has put me off visiting cannon hall all together which is a shame as we also visit the butcher and deli counter regular. Looks like I’ll be going to Blacker Hall Farm shop and cafe from now.

Very nice food, queues not too bad (30mins) despite CV19 social distancing implementation.

Completely ruined the menus. No longer any options for vegans. Hopefully it's just a temporary menu. Embarrassing otherwise.

The burger was amazing! Excellent service and great Covid-19 measures.
