About Yummy House
On Midland Rd in Barnsley, Yummy House is a restaurant open for collection or delivery. The kitchen runs on a single set menu, prepared to order for customers picking up or having food brought to them rather than dining in. It opens Tuesday to Sunday, staying closed on Mondays, and operates evenings only through the week. That schedule makes it suited to those wanting a meal later in the day rather than at lunchtime.

Customer Review Summary
Opinion is split sharply between reviewers praising the cooking and others describing a recent decline. The curry sauce draws particular praise from one diner who found the food "cooked to perfection" and cheaper than other local takeaways, while another calls the munch box a favorite they order "everytime" without disappointment. Several others describe the opposite: a roast pork chow mein arriving with no sauce and only tiny pieces of meat, and a special chow mein called dry and bland, "basically a tub of noodles" with just two prawns. One reviewer details a full order binned over old oil, a crumbling fu yung, and soggy chips. Waiting has become a recurring complaint too, with calls going unanswered, a three hour wait for delivery, and a collection order cancelled after twenty minutes with no clear explanation given. A few still note that food eaten in the shop or collected arrives quickly, though deliveries, several say, can take too long.

“Love the food, if served in shop it's quick too, deliveries can take too long tho.”
- Jim Marsden
“The only good thing about this place is the delivery driver, we ordered a bit of everything. Everything went in the bin. Badly cooked, old oil, badly seasoned, left out and reheated food. A fu yung that was so dry it actually crumbled. Brown soggy flaccid chips. Radioactive sweet and sour sauce.”
- Abbie Ardron
“I placed an order which got cancelled 20 mins after. I phoned them up to ask why the lady on the phone said she didn't know so she went to ask someone. Apparently it was because it was too busy? But I would have been more happy to wait as long as it took. I always order from here but tonight I am very disappointed and the money won't go into my bank for another 5 working days. Just for reference if you are busy you minght want to stop taking orders online”

“Worst special chow mein weve ever had. Dry and bland. Basically a tub of noodles with tiny bits of meat and 2 prawns, no sauce at all. Wont order again”
