The best restaurants in Rockingham Barnsley Yorkshire and The Humber

Hidden little gem, really cool staff and the coffee and bagels are fantastic. Perfect location for just chilling and people watching.

Amazing food and friendly service with a smile, we went for afternoon tea and they catered towards my dietary needs. I couldn't recommend this place enough!

Lovely little pub, great food great staff great prices Definitely well worth a visit

The Cock Inn, Birdwell I'm not really sure where to start with this one...apart from saying that the owners Sal and Rachel, most definitely have the Midas touch when it comes to the food, drink and hospitality industry. The pub boasts of 4 areas. The Cottage Lounge is to the left as you walk through the door, where the Indian cuisine is served, and the Saddle room to the right, leads you to the bar area, which down the steps, leads you into the spacious beer garden and steak house. Upon entering through the Saddle door, we were met with a beautifully warm and cosy welcoming atmosphere. Comfortable seating with a touch of magical romantic fairy lighting draped above. The lady who took our drinks order was very polite and professional, as was our lovely server who took us down to the steak house, to our seats, offering to carry our drinks for us. She really couldn't do enough for us throughout the entire evening. Upon entering the steak house, we were met by the owner, Rachel, who after warmly welcoming us, told us that she had prepared a special main meal for us, which she will be debouing the coming week....Surf, Turf & Quack! We felt extremely special and well looked after as the steak house was only open to us for the evening. The pictures I took of the steak house and pub, really don't do it justice. Our meal kicked off with an onion bhaji with salad and mint sauce. This was to share between me and the Hubby as it was simply huge! I've been to a lot of places and possibly eaten my weight in bhaji's, but this....this was exceptional. The perfect homemade bhaji. The texture was so soft and delicate in the middle, whilst gently crisped on the outside, holding the perfect amount of spice and moisture. Whilst diving into our starter, Sal popped out from behind the scenes to greet and welcome us to the steak house, and to ensure everything was to our liking. He told us how the creation of the bhaji came into existence by his wonderful Mum, who had passed the recipe onto him. Now onto our main. When Rachel first told us she had prepared a special dish for us and that it had prawn and duck in it...my heart sank a little, as I'd never really liked either. But my mind and taste buds were completely blown away by her creation.. Our handcut chips and salad arrived on one hearty plate, followed by 2 sizzling blocks, steadily cooking through a steak filet, 2 tandoori king prawns and a cut of duck. The main was served on hot blocks, so that you can cut the meats up and finish them off to your liking..which is fab if you don't like your meat still quacking and mooing. The meal was served with a boat of creamy, light peppercorn sauce which was to die for. I have to say, that I've never tasted fillet, duck and prawn of that quality.. anywhere. Miller & Carter are not a patch on these guys.. The juicy steak and duck melted in our months, and the king prawns were so succulent and perfectly cooked. I couldn't applaud the Cock Inn more for how Rachel and Sal have brought this beautiful old pub to life. I would most definitely recommend eating and drinking here...like we will be again soon. We have to anyway, as we need to try Sal's fall off the bone lamb shank curry, which will be making it's rounds soon. Before this year's out, Sal and Rachel will be renovating the upstairs to provide an area of the pub to welcome guests that would just like to come for a drink, socialise and relax. And before the Spring pops its head around the corner, a chill zone will be put together outside in the garden, where there'll be a fire pit housed under a gazebo with comfortable seating, so that you can cook your own steaks if you would like to (with staff supervision if course). Also, keep an eye out for Sal's drop of the bone lamb shank curry! Also, on a Thursday early evening from 5pm until 7pm, there is a fish and chip van in the Cock Inn carpark...where your more than welcome to grab a chippy tea and pop into the pub to marry it up nicely with a drink of your liking.

Lovely pub. Great atmosphere and very welcoming and friendly staff. Definitely recommend! Retuning customer for sure

Great breakfast, value for money nice food ,plenty on the plate ,hot and not greasy.

Started using this farm shop during lockdown. It’s got a great choice of produce. Had some excellent joints of meat, quiches and cakes. Staff very friendly and always helpful to advise when unsure what cut of meat to buy or quantity. It’s certainly on my Christmas shopping list this year.

First time having a carvery food food was delicious and good value for money, staff were helpful and friendly. Only downside for me was outside to the seated garden area was not accessible a disabled person using a mobility scooter

Very friendly team who made you feel really welcome. Food was home cooked and very tasty . Good portion size backed up by quality ingredients . Top place to grab some lunch and with seating if required. You both made a Yorkie feel very welcome.

Always fresh a d tasty sandwiches and great cakes as well

We enjoyed; Sunday Roast – Beef (£16.50) + Chicken (£15.95); both served with mash, Yorkshire pud, duck fat roasties, honey-roasted carrots & parsnips, cabbage, stuffing and gravy (GF gravy available) – these were served on massive plates so it looked like there wasn’t much, but there was definitely ample amounts. Everything was cooked to our liking and no complaints. We were definitely full afterwards. NOTE – other meals coming out of the kitchen looked like MASSIVE portions including Kids meals, something to bear in mind. Bakewell Tart with Custard (£7.50); a massive portion and lots of creamy custard. Really enjoyed this 🍰 We pre-booked a table but there’s lots of room to dine here, so I think walk ins would be fine. We enjoyed the food and drinks and the staff were friendly and welcoming. In total we spent £54 for 2 Sunday roasts, a dessert & 3 pints. The Pub has a large menu including Lunch and an Outdoor Menu. There is limited options for Vegans, but more choice for Vegetarians. They also offer a Bottomless Brunch Monday to Saturday 12pm – 5pm, 2 hours for £34.95 AND they offer a free meal on your Birthday here as well. Opening times: Mon & Tues 3pm – 8pm, Wed to Sun 12pm – 11pm

Check your customised orders, as the amount of times they've got it wrong here is pretty poor. Decent enough other than that

Meat was lovely in the carvery as being gluten free u thought id be having a dry dinner,but the very kind server offered to make me gluten free gravey.exellent service ,clean and very nice staff

As always, top class food, restaurant quality, best chinese food ever if you havnt tried it and you like Chinese food it's worth every penny not a cheap takeaway but we choose lots of dishes and would be double in a restaurant and nowhere near as nice.excellent .
