  “Had a fantastic visit here recently. The food was absolutely spot on and full of flavour. I was particularly impressed with the pie, which was perfectly cooked and seasoned with seeds on top. Everything came out fresh and looked great on the plate. It is a lovely spot for a relaxed meal. We will definitely be back soon.”

  “Went for pie night. The pies were lovely, chips were gorgeous. Only thing is we had to wait about 40 minutes from being seated to even order. The waiter offered a few drink whilst we were waiting but then didn’t knock this off the bill which was a bit strange. A nice pub with good vibes.”

  “First off, with such a limited menu it was really disappointing to find two mains not available on the night. We came as a large party for a birthday, minor annoyance aside the meal was really good. Noise levels are a bit much and there seemed to be something going off outside. I'd recommend for the food, less so for the noisy atmosphere.”

  “We had a fantastic family meal recently, and it was great that we could bring our dogs along too! The food was top-notch, and the staff were so friendly and welcoming throughout our visit. They really knew the menu well and helped us pick out some delicious dishes. Everything was spotlessly clean, and the service was super quick. I can't wait to come back for another great time!”

  “First, this is one of the better food experiences in barnsley, taste very good, however it could be better, one is finding ways to reduce the oil after taste of the home made onion rings, 2nd cut the fat off the steak or at least make it chewable, but that bone marrow sauce was about perfecto. When the servers ask if the food was ok, get them to pause at least a second so it looks like they care about our opinions. Having said all that, if you live barnsley give it a go, as standard aound these here parts is pretty low and this makes it above average.”

  “Very disappointing experience at The Crown and Anchor in Barnsley. Our group of five ended up paying around £140 for the meal, which would have been acceptable if the service matched the price. Unfortunately, the manager’s attitude completely spoiled the visit. We arrived about 10 minutes early and politely said we were happy to wait for a table, but the manager seemed annoyed that we had arrived before our allotted time. After being seated early which we greatly appreciated, we then had to chase staff just to place our drinks order, and then had to chase again to place our food order. When we asked about ordering, the manager responded with a frustrated remark that made us feel like we were inconveniencing him. To be fair, the serving staff themselves were great — friendly, helpful and doing their best — so no complaints there at all. However, the manager’s rude and dismissive attitude overshadowed the whole experience. Overall, the food and service from the servers may have been fine, but the manager really needs to be retrained or given some honest feedback. His attitude seemed to outweigh his ability to deal with customers professionally.”

  “Good food in big portions. Staff was very friendly but a bit slow though it was towards the end of the service and seemed like a busy day. Gravy was served in buckets and it was delish. Nice atmosphere and big beer garden on the back. Prices are very reasonable.”

  “Absolutely fantastic little pub! From the moment we walked in, we felt right at home. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, with a lovely traditional British charm. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive without being overbearing. We ordered food and it was outstanding — hearty, delicious, and clearly made with care. You can tell they take real pride in what they serve. It’s rare to find a place that gets everything so right: great service, top-quality. A special shout out to Emily who served us with great energy and a lovely smile.”

  “Moderate priced meals, great tasting food, brill atmosphere. Dog friendly in the bar area where you can also have your meal. I've been to the Crown & Anchor a number of times now and had a good meal here every time. I would highly recommend the fish pie as this has easily been the best meal I have had here. Staff are pleasant and provide good customer service.”
