The best restaurants in Wombwell Barnsley Yorkshire and The Humber

Excellent Sunday dinner. Choice of 4 meats and good choice of veg all with proper homemade gravy. Also choice of deserts.

We booked at the Greenhead Hotel at Greenhead near Haltwhistle for a Christmas Fare meal, myself, my wife and our daughter. We've eaten there several times and always enjoyed it, good food, pleasant ambience, good service. We wanted to dine early and booked the table of our choice for 17:30. We were waiting for our starters when a Shooting Party, mainly men, came in. They were accompanied by a few wives or girlfriends who quickly disappeared up to their rooms. They were staying there and were the most inconsiderate, entitled bunch of Hooray Henry oafs I've ever had the misfortune to encounter. They took over the bar dining area, braying and hooting at each other and totally destroying the ambience that we had gone there enjoy. My daughter is noise sensitive and was getting upset by the racket so much she had to go out to the car and get her ear plug head phone buds to try to cut the noise down. We couldn't enjoy the main course as the din was ruining our evening. We didn't finish our meals and certainly could not have endured the noise to allow us to have a dessert. I can only feel sorry for the other diners there as I cannot see how they could have enjoyed the experience of dining with the din these morons were making. I asked for the bill stating that we couldn't stand the racket. The waitress apologised and told us she had deducted our drinks from the bill as she could see how upset we were. We paid the 10% service charge as the staff obviously did their best for us and we were told that these OAFS came fairly regularly and were always the same, no matter if the staff asked them to temper their behaviour. If you are considering dining at this "Boutique" hotel, ask if there is a shooting party staying there first! If they are avoid it like the plague! If they are not there, you'll enjoy the welcome, the ambience and excellent service and food.

What an amazing venue and hostess!! I booked the outdoor space for our daughters 5th birthday and what a day we had!! We faced the possibility of heavy rain on the day but Emma had the whole space set up in preparation for it with all the sides down to keep us warm and dry. We arrived to beautifully decorated marquee with all seating and table decor ready and a second marquee set up as a dance space and party games. All we had to do was turn up with a cake!! The food was delicious and plenty of it! Emma's home made cakes are to die for! I don't the kids even got to taste the cakes because the parents couldn't keep their hands off it 🤣 I had nothing but compliments the whole day from all the guests who were blown away by how beautiful the venue is and how delicious the food was. We had a magical day and I would recommend Woodleigh and Emma to anyone!! I hope they have an influx of bookings after our day because it is thoroughly deserved. Thankyou so much for such a special day 💕

Not been for a while, popped in for Sunday lunch and the carvery was lovely, nice pint and food, the staff and the atmosphere was great.highly recommended.

Food is lovely but be careful if you order online. They cancelled my order and said it would be refunded but it wasn't and had to dispute through my bank. 2 months I've been chasing!

Ordered food for take away last weekend first time and it was absolutely delicious. It’s a competition for any other Chinese take away locally.

I've got to say there brilliant fish 🐟 and chips 🍟 😋 take some beating

Excellent. Photo of menu posted as at November 2025.

***UPDATE *** We tried the big Romanian combo, and the papanasi, honestly the best food ive had all year, hands down the best place to eat in Yorkshire, the littles and romanian sausages are just incredible, cooked so well and so delicious and juicy. This place is a must! If I could vote 100 stars, I would. The absolute best kebab I’ve ever had in my life. I’ve tried everywhere in Barnsley, and even Sheffield and Helen’s is unbeatable. The people that work there/ own it are also wonderful and polite people. Everything tastes so so fresh and the meat quality is absolutely premium and you will not find another food establishment in the area with kebab like it. Thank you again. Next weekend we will be trying more from the menu 😁❤️

Family run cafe, simple basic food. Good size helping,nothing too fancy. Good honest home cooking Huge full English breakfasts,great pie and peas.

A great lunch, lovely owner and staff. Will definitely return and recommend.

Went in for a few drinks, great prices really friendly, did not eat, but my mates have eaten here and say the food bang on

Under cooked pizza. Not good thought I'd give a try again but same as last time poor food

We were just looking in the fabric shop and saw the sign for the cafe and as it was 13.30hrs we were told it may close soon so we decided to pop in for a snack. Made very welcome on our arrival and there was a reasonable selection of foods for a small cafe .the food was well presented and tasted just as good. Seems to be very popular with the locals and it was enjoyable to meet and talk with them
