About The Old Post Office

On Huddersfield Rd in Barnsley, The Old Post Office is a steakhouse where diners pick their own size and cut of beef at the table before it goes to the kitchen to be cooked. Fillet steak sits within a menu that runs to 49 dishes, alongside a steak and ale pie of chunky beef in pastry and a Barnsley chop served with chips and salad. Jam roly poly with custard, brought with an extra jug on the side, rounds out the dessert options. Drinks include Heineken, Amstel, Moretti and Inch's cider. The restaurant operates on a walk-in basis and opens daily. Outside, a large car park has electric vehicle charging points, and a garden holds kids' play equipment. An outdoor pizza station is used when pizza is ordered from inside the restaurant.

Customer Review Summary

Pie is the draw, with reviewers praising the steak and ale pie for big chunks of beef and a pastry that wasn't tough, plus a pie of the day with gravy described as out of this world. The Barnsley chop of lamb and the jam roly poly with custard also earn praise, and the staff are called friendly and attentive. One diner found a fillet ordered medium rare arrived blue.

    “Delicious, homemade food. Fast, attentive service and good value for money. We had the pie of the day (1 with mash, 1 with chips). The veg was good and the gravy was our of this world. Jam roly poly with custard (plus an extra jug) was top notch.”

    “So we are driving up the M1 thinking about where can grab a light lunch. As we approached junction 38, I had a flash back from I am sure nearly 40 years ago, a pub set back off the road towards Barnsley… I wondered if it was still there. Lovely looking building, still quite remote from any sort of housing. Big car park with electric charging points. Obviously been remodelled over the years but structurally seemed to be the place I remembered 40 years ago. So light lunch was our plan…. Not sure a 12oz Barnsley chop with chips and salad is a light lunch. The lamb was amazing, the flavour beat anything bought from our local butchers in the south. Similar the steak and ale pie - big chunks of tasty beef in pastry that wasn’t burnt and tough - which is unusual nowadays. Absolute credit to the kitchen for the food. Just s great experience- the staff were well trained to ensure we were happy with our food which is rare these days. Big garden with kids play equipment, looked like an outside bar was available on busy days along with outdoor pizza station which is used if you order pizza in the restaurant. Sadly we don’t go north on the M1 very often so no idea when or if we will be back- buts it is a certain revisit.”

    “Went here as a last minute plan today and so glad we did, the food was amazing, the staff were friendly, welcoming and knowledgable. Already can’t wait to come back 🙌🏻 …”

    “Didn't meet expectations this time, I've been watching on TikTok for a while now and thought its a place I need to try. Service was really good and it was full so the atmosphere was good but the fillet steak just wasn't up to scratch, I asked for it cooked medium rare but it was definately blue, I was expecting better from a restaurant that advertises itself as a meat & steak restaurant, I thought temperature probes would be used to check for the correct cooked temperature for medium rare.”
