Yellow Lion in Rotherham

Great pub and amazing food especially those chips!

Not sure what happened to this app as I've NEVER been in the Yellow Lion in my life Where is it anyway?

Decent beer. Decent atmosphere. Does what it says on the can. No problems.

The service rating is not about the staff who were lovely, but running out of 3 of the 4 lagers on draught on a saturday night was pretty unforgiveable. Lovely atmosphere as usual though

Sunday dinner is genuinely a bargain at a tenner for what is one of the best I’ve eaten in years, considering it’s just £10.00 for a large and £5.00 for a small!

Waited an hour for food. The food was really nice to be fair but there was no table service and few staff. The waitress didn’t look like she knew what to do. When the food arrived you had to wait for cutlery. Shame as if the place was decorated a bit and they had more staff there is great potential as like I said the food didn’t disappoint.

Spent the night there in our Motorhome. Had a Sunday lunch and drinks, both fine. It was a bit quiet maybe, but it was October...

Brill Sunday lunch and so reasonable. Added bonus can take the dog.

We went for Sunday lunch today and felt the need to leave a review. We were 3 adults and 4 small children - we sat outside so the kids could play. The play area is a good size and fenced in, so felt safe to let the kids run around. We ordered large and small roasts and they were very good! The smalls would have been enough for an averagely hungry adult. Also had pie&chips and scampi&chips. It's really very good value for money! Service was absolutely fine. The place in general is maybe lacking a bit of atmosphere and needs a bit of TLC, but as long as you manage your expectations, it's great! We'll definitely be back.

It's a big venue and has lots of tv screens scattered around. Seems to host regular events like a pub quiz It's atmosphere / ambience is ok, but it needs a refurbishment Didn't see any 'real ale' on offer Vodka and tonic came without any (or any offer of) ice and lemon 🍋. Just a glass of warm vodka and a bottle of tonic 😂 The girl seemed a bit surprised when I asked about it. Turned out they didn't have any lemon 🍋 We didn't try the food

Took an hour for food to arrive, but was lovely, when it finally came.

Shocking food, slow service even though dining room was empty. Also forgot a meal and we'd all finished before the other meal came out. Really poor

first time, excellent staff, lovely garden

Booked for Sunday lunch for 6 adults at 2pm. Checked when booking that this wouldn’t be too late! 45mins after ordering, our meals were finally served. The beef was tough (and the cutlery blunt!) and the veg was not very hot. Our first visit for many decades, but we won’t be returning I’m afraid.

Quiet Father's day meal which was perfect. No fuss, no wait, comfortable no frills establishment, would visit again and recommend to others .

Only had a drink at first but the pub and staff were very nice. Wanted to eat, menu looked amazing, but the kitchen only opened at 5pm. We returned after 5pm, and had a delicious steak dinner

Sharing platter , main meal more like, next to a busy childrens playground but not over noisy, we will go again

Called in around 7.15pm on Friday for late tea was told the kitchen was closed due to back log of orders (this happened to us before with previous management a few months ago) only four people in the restaurant ?? 🤷🏽‍♀️ . No real ale either and just short of £10 for 2 pints . Safe to say won’t be going again ☹️

Nice little pub with a pool table and a lovely menu even though we did not eat. The pub was quite busy but the service was quick and the drinks were nicely chilled.

Great pub with playground and large bouncy castle. Ample parking and outdoor seating. Live music. Lovely relaxed festival atmosphere.

Nice Venue but when I visited they only had one cask ale on tap which was disappointing. Plus the food menu was very limited, so we didn't bother. It could be 5* due to the location and decor, but a pub calling themselves a real ale pub and not having any isn't great!

Went with 2 friends. I had Hot Dog 🌭 £11.50 absolutely ripped off. Presentation was terrible, literally no condiments to choose from, condiments bottles ect was Filthy. I've eaten once here last year and it was actually lovely. It's definitely gone downhill As to why? Only the current people who work there can answer that. I won't be eating there again unless word gets out that something drastically has changed for the Better. 😒

Went in for Sunday lunch on the way back from gulliver's valley, with it having very good reviews we were expecting it to be lovely. Well it wasnt, my partner absolutely hated her dinner and I ate as much as I could stomach, but the roast potatoes were awful and the beef was very tough. The staff were nice and they put the sunderland match on after I requested. But it (£12 for large and £6 for small) was a rip off for the lackluster beef dinners. I got a bit more nasty beef, an extra inedible roast potato and a mediocre yorkshire pudding for double the price! So we can't score it any more than 2 stars unfortunately.

We didn't have food this time but we had drinks and one of my pints was in a glass with colourful things on it. Can't remember what they were because I'd had a few by then but the drinks are very reasonably priced

No BT Sport and a bit pricey, but is a nice pub.

Friendly local pub! The home made chips ( more like wedges) are fab!

Couldn’t fault my dinner tonight. I had squid to start which was brilliantly cooked. Tender and tasty. I’ve never had chicken cooked so well out. It was superb. I’m gutted I’m only in the area one night because I would love to eat here again. And to add the staff were all absolutely lovely.

Great food and a lovely atmosphere from an independent pub.

Stopped by for a quick meal with the kids. Very friendly and helpful staff and some great food. We had a great time and loved the halloween decorations. See you again soon!

Cannot fault meals we had Sunday , great childrens play area too

Great pub, lovely beer, great bar staff and it has a dart board... What more could you want?

fantastic food and friendly atmosphere

Staff members had an awful attitude.

Spend a few days at gullivers vally resort and decided we wanted to go for some good pub grub on the way home. Pub seemed spacious and clean, had big beautiful beer garden and the landlady was very chatty & friendly. From the minute I walked in I was disappointed by the way the manager spoke to me. Absolutely appalled by his customer service and attitude! The food was OK but nothing special (the moody manager/landlord cooked it). Two medium rare steaks that were overcooked but we didn't complain or want to make an issue for the waiter. The landlady was lovely and should be the face of that place. We got chatting, I asked her if they got busy or if they had a good footfall from the locals, which she replied "not really" I'm not even surprised why after the way her partner spoke to me TWICE!!!! Felt like an unwanted DOG. Could also hear him kicking off in the kitchen. Which is fine, I run a pub myself and know chefs can become very angry and irritated at times or at customers request but we was the only guests in the pub at the time? He should be mindful of his customers. 2 steaks and a burger is not hard bearing in mind they opened the kitchen at 4pm and we order at 2 minutes past. Not impressed and will 100% never return.

The staff were nice and friendly, very limited menu. As an eating place not a lot of atmosphere. Was more a pub/disco vibe which is fine if that's what you're looking for. The meal was very mediocre.

Warm welcome from all staff, friendly helpful and owners were on it for our funeral wake, top drawer oh and try the cajun fries

Food ok told last orders was 9.30 there were 3 of us and about 5 in other side ridiculous .

We were greeted by the welcoming owner who told us a bit about the pub and the play area which was put in last year. My 7 year old grandson enjoyed playing and loved the bouncy castle. Food is freshly cooked but was served timely. I ordered full rack of ribs, my son had beefburger and grand son ,children's pizza meal.we had 2 pints of lager and bill was £ 40.00 which we thought was reasonable. I would go again and recommend it.

Went for lunch with my son & grandson. We were given a lovely welcome from the owner. She told us she'd been there about 4 years and last year had a play are built. Also, a bouncy castle. My grandson enjoyed playing. Our meals were freshly cooked and we didn't wait long. The food was tasty and well presented. I would go again and recommend a visit.

Great little local pub, friendly staff and a decent selection.

Called in for tea because i kept seeing face book posts and it didn't disappoint the food was cooked beautiful and the staff were super friendly 😊

Booked a table for a family meal, 6pm on a Friday. Table was a bit sticky, but otherwise good. Menu was a bit more limited than I would have expected, but ordered rump steaks. The pub was very busy so it took over an hour for the food to arrive. Great real ale: Ghost Ship, and other drinks also good. The pub was crowded and very noisy. There was a live entertainer (singer), but he was not great, (good songs though). Food arrived, fantastic lean steak (10oz rump) and wonderful thick hand cut chips, possibly the best I’ve ever had. Served with a side salad, garlic mushrooms, and a piece of grilled tomato. Had onions rings to share as a side dish, these were also excellent. Staff were warm and welcoming, and helpful. Definitely a place I would recommend, but when returning (we will return), I would aim for a less busy time when the noise may be less deafening.

Good fresh food..how many eateries can do a half and half difference toppings on one pizza for the grandkids..

Just popped in for a drink and a quick bite. Food was well worth waiting for.

The pub has just recently undergone some refurbishment. The outdoor area is great for kids as it has a good sized play area. There is a big gazebo to sit in if needed. The food is reasonably priced. The quality of the food was surprising, the burgers are great and the chunky chips fantastic.

Delicious and generous portions. Lovely staff who took the time to chat and go through the menu. Spot on!

Staff were disgustingly rude- even after a 45min wait for food. Overheard the member of staff tell the customer in front of me when ordering food that ‘she’s not serving food to people sat on the grassed area as she was too lazy to walk that far’.. I said when ordering, I would happily come collect my food as I am sat in that area and if not I would happily go elsewhere and that it wasn’t a problem and she gave me a dirty look. Only 2 staff working, and clearly was very popular due to the weather and did not get an apology for waiting in the queue for 15minutes, then only to be greeted in a disgusting manner and no apology for the wait Ordered food and waited 40mins, went back to the bar too check how long, and she said they were plating up, 10mins later we still had no food.. food came and we had no cutlery, condiments or napkins. I went back up to the pub and ask her ‘where are your cutlery and conditments please’ only then to be greeted by the same disguntled member of staff. I later then did say ‘well I’m sorry but you need more staff, I can’t even get a drink your queues are far too long. And then she said well I’m talking to you ain’t I that’s why… absolute cheek after she didn’t even bring our cutlery to the table and food was very late. Food very over priced and limited option due to lack of staff and ‘price of fish had doubled..’ Pub looks dirty and dingy inside and outside, I later had found dogs have a lovely free area in the childrens play area to sh*t in as my children thankfully noticed a dollop before stepping in it. Would be a nice pub, but unfortunately people in it ruin it…

Lovely food and the roast meats are amazing 👏

Great Sunday lunch and good ale

The staff are friendly and the food is excellent I will definitely be back when in the area 5*

Had a nice Sunday roast plenty of meat as well

Lovely pub and the staff we're really friendly

Amazing food and hospitality highly recommend visiting and having a meal.

Beautiful food , burgers are amazing , brilliant pub

Brilliant pub , food is beautifully prepared and presented . Staff looked after us like we,d known them a life time

Went for a drink and had a lovely meal. Friendly staff. Will definitely go again.

Not a bad put outdoors setting and a good place to bring kids

Warm, welcoming staff and a wonderful ambience from the log fire!

I’m not from the area, but decided to try the pub out as we were staying on a hotel nearby where the beer and food is expensive, and the menu not that varied. To cut a long story short, we were made to feel very welcome, and the food is some of the best I have had in a pub for a long, long time. And I can safely say the same for my six colleagues who were with me too! We all tried different things on the menu, starters and mains, and it has all been superb!

Cracking food good atmosphere will be back again

Family of 4 - we all had the buffet Sunday roast which had a choice of three meat - gammon, beef and turkey. I had the ham and beef which came served with roast potatoes, mash, Yorkshire pudding and home made stuffing. The veg and gravy is self serve and we all helped ourselves to carrot batons, peas, swede, cabbage and of course lashings of real gravy. The veg was definitely fresh and perfectly cooked with great flavour. The beef was tender and flavourful. The service as always was friendly and attentive. A great Sunday lunch at a great pub, all washed down with excellent hand pulled ales and wine, ok the kids had coke.

First time I visited this public house . Staff was nice locals friendly . Plus friendly for children

Wicked place great food amazing staff👌👍

We've not visited for ages as it's been closed, great to see it reopened and serving the community.. Wow!! The pub has been transformed outside with a marquee, new seating area, play apparatus, swings. Just had a drink with family in kids area outside, staff were friendly and pleasant, great to see people supporting pub industry.

Lovely new playground, friendly staff good atmosphere

Excellent for outside seating & for kids to play ,food very good and served quickly prices not too expensive

What a fantastic pub called here today after booking for my 71st birthday ,food was out of this world and really good value for money I had the house platter and my partner the 8oz rump steak couldn't fault any of it , lovely atmosphere and a rally nice host , hope you both continue to do well you deserve every compliment you get , what a lovely couple

Nice place to have a quick pint 👍

Really tasty food, great wine, friendly staff & customers & live music on a Saturday night. We've had a great time!

Brilliant service, friendly and very helpful. Fantastic meal, done to just how you like it. Really lovely setting and covid friendly. Highly, highly recommended.

My steak was well presented with all the trimmings. Sue had grilled chicken that went down a treat. Both meals had fresh salad & big chips. Very pleasant service from our waitress who gave us a warm welcome & proved attentive throughout our visit. Nice bitter beer. Who could ask more? Thank you.

The triple cooked chips are to die for. Massive portions and very nice pub food for the money. Highly recommend you give them a try

Nice pub,with a lovely large beer garden plenty of space so felt relaxed and safe would go there again if i was in the area.

Fodd was really good, service excellent

Good real ales n great outside area. Very friendly staff, not tried food yet but will be back to try.

Great food well priced friendly staff looking forward to going again.

Great food but a bit expensive and got a beer garden for the kids

Really busy had a really nice steak but the twice cooked chips wasn't cooked they were hard as they were sliced too thick. I noticed nearly every dish that went out was eaten apart from the horrid chips. Change the chips & let's see a clear plate.

These guys have done such an incredible job of transforming the outside areas, it's a great venue and the outside bar gives you a real holiday feel. Food was outstanding

Much improved, better outside area

Nice pub something for everyone 👍

Visited for the 1st time in a couple of years. What a transformation. Marquees,plenty of new outdoor seating, play area.ideal for families. Can't wait to visit again

Very good food plenty of itto much for me well cooked through

Had a gig booking at Yellow Lion-Aston & had a wonderful night Great atmosphere & lovely food 10/10 would highly recommend!

This was my first visit to the Yellow Lion, the couple that run the pub where very helpful and nothing was too much trouble. The place is set out that attracts all types from families to couples and even me as single. Please try cos I will be be back ✅

Excellent pub and staff,great service, tv,plus bands on certain days,yummy grub,outside terrace's and marquee's, brill for all people.

Excellent beer garden. All covid procedures in place. The waitresses are superb they work so hard and always have a smile on their faces. I don't know what seasoning they put on their chips but they are amazing.

Ok for drinking lager, draught beers seem to have disappeared & the one bitter, John Smith's was served way too cold, lager temperature, NOT GOOD. Won't be back for a while!!

I had a veggie burger and the owner was also a veggie so you could tell she had tested out the different veggie burgers to get the best one to serve in her pub. She was very lovely and very attentive. She talked to us about the paintings on the wall that her family had painted for her. It was overall a very nice experience!

Awesome pub run by an awesome couple Andy&Adele, New Menu, New Terrace and beer garden! Having to cope with COVID restrictions still in place this is the pub to go to, Just off junction 31 it’s an ideal stop off for anyone travelling to Gullivers Valley or Aston Hall, Tradition Pub with a Modern Twist, Catering for young or old and specially families, You won’t be disappointed!

Had a lovely time sat outside in their re-vamped garden. It was a beautiful evening, with good beer and great, friendly service. They've thought of everything to make you comfortable during the restrictions.

Excellent service and good food. Nice people really making an effort

Fantastic service friendly staff and the food is excellent
