  “We stopped here for lunch on our walk from Elsecar. We both ordered the roast beef with creamy mash and vegetables along with a pint of lager and a white wine. The staff were very friendly and efficient. Both meals were beautiful, with large portions and the addition of horseradish sauce was perfect. A thoroughly enjoyable meal in a lovely pub. Definitely recommended.”

  “We came for a birthday Sunday Lunch here, and oh my goodness, it was absolutely stunning. Everything was so delicious, and no long waits! The staff were so accommodating, and one even went above and beyond, and entertained our 1 year old, while we had our Sunday Lunch in peace 🤣 Thank you for everything! Really enjoyed it! Definitely recommend booking in advance too, and it's very popular!”

  “I go here regular with my dog for a drink stop and always find myself ordering some food because it's just too nice to not! There salads are by far the best salads iv had! Hallumi salad to be precise! So much flavour and decent size! Staff are so friendly, always welcoming, chatty. Lovely place to sit in sunshine and lovely and cosy in colder days. The little treat you get with a hot drink is always a lovely suprise. Dog friendly even for my little reactive pooch.”

  “A great place to come for a solid breakfast. Lovely coffee and sumptuous breakfast. A popular place for cyclists as well to stop for food and drink and this is on the the Trans Pennine Trail. Very friendly staff. Recommended.”

  “This is our go-to place when we want to eat out. The restaurant menu is reasonably priced, varied, includes daily specials and regular ‘theme’ nights (the duck gyozas on one such occasion were to-die-for). Staff are welcoming and always check to make sure you’re happy with your meal. This week I had the chicken pasta which was delicious and they obligingly cooked it in a tomato sauce (instead of the advertised cream sauce) due to my food intolerances. My partner had the king prawn pasta that she described as tasty and delicious. Can’t recommend this place enough.”

  “EXTREMLY DISSAPOINTING. First time visiting and it will be the last. Starters were lovely, but mains were terrible! Absolutely no flavour to the prawn pasta at all....literally at all! The only thing I could taste was carrot, which I was confused as to why it had carrot and brocoli in it anyway. The steak (which was a cheap cut) we asked for medium rare as you can see from pics it was blue/rare, mushrooms were old and dry, tomatoe was not even cut or cooked properly, and the cheese sauce was more of a cream sauce (which we had to wait for). A shame as I read the good reviews and heard good things about the place.....must be another elephant and castle because this was not our experience at all.”

  “The place was warm on a Saturday cold morning, fireplace was on and they sat me close to it. Service was prompt, had a cappuccino and the fancy one breakfast, asked for a fried egg instead of scrambled. It was a beautifully presented and very filling. Forgot to take a picture before I started eating. Music was beautiful covers of popular songs and it was just the perfect volume.”
