Quick info
About The Garrison
On Bawtry Rd in Rotherham, The Garrison is a restaurant with around 30 seats inside, kept small enough that a rotating three-course menu can change regularly to give returning diners something different to try. Among the 54 dishes on offer are the Mixed Seafood, Monkfish 'Scampi', and 'Gfc' Chicken Wings, alongside a locally brewed selection of ales and cheeses. Table service brings drinks orders and specials to the table. The entrance is step-free and wheelchair accessible, and high chairs are available for families with young children. Outdoor seating with benches supplements the indoor room for those who want to eat outside, and dogs are welcome at the tables. Because the venue holds so few covers, reservations are recommended rather than left to chance. The restaurant opens Tuesday to Saturday and closes on Mondays and Sundays.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers consistently praise the rotating three-course menu, describing food that is home-made, beautifully presented, and, on repeat visits, always great. Close behind is the atmosphere, with diners calling the small, cosy space welcoming and relaxed, and several highlighting a strong selection of local ales, cheeses, and wines. The attentive, friendly staff come up again and again, with multiple reviewers noting care around allergies and one describing a helpful host whose name they didn't catch. A few mention the outdoor seating, though one reviewer found the benches too narrow for comfort over a long meal. Several suggest booking ahead since the venue is small and fills up, with one noting every table occupied on a Friday visit. Diners repeatedly describe returning for birthdays and date nights alike, with one recalling sharing starters, mains, and desserts as a family for a 30th birthday celebration.

“This is the 2nd time we have all eaten here and not disappointed The food is always great and the atmosphere is also good just general chat from other people eating so no rowdy business The 1st time we sat inside and the seating is comfortable The 2nd time we sat outside the benches are okay however not comfortable for a long period of time they could do with been wider to offer more butt space as felt like I was just sitting on the end of the seat as not enough with on the seat However didn't put a dampner on how good the food and drink was The host are genuinely top notch lads so polite and helpful will definitely be eating here again”

“I really enjoy coming to The Garrison. I love that they have a rotating three-course menu as it gives you something different to try each time you visit. The food is always really good, nicely presented and great value for the quality. The atmosphere is relaxed and the staff are friendly and attentive. I’d honestly say it’s one of the best places to eat in Wickersley.”

“Absolutely fantastic experience at The Garrison in Rotherham! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming, with a great balance of style and comfort. The staff were incredibly friendly, attentive, and went above and …”

“How you want a restaurant to be. Small and cosy. Feels comforting. Service was great - I didn’t catch the guys name but he was caring and attentive and clearly involved. The food was excellent. The price was correct. We were there tonight, and I hope to come back. Book ahead as it’s small and you should Secure your place. Independent venues like this don’t just supply a great experience, they keep the hospitality industry a staple of our culture (I realise it sounds as if I work here… I very much don’t! It’s just very good)”
