Another lovely meal at the Talbot. Nice restaurant upstairs. Staff very friendly and helpful and polite. Good selection of drinks. Ordered 2 steaks. They were cooked to perfection. Everything was spot on . Couldn't fault the whole thing. Definitely be going back. Just one tiny problem couldn't get my card to work to pay for the meal . Good job I had enough money on me . Lol

We thoroughly enjoyed the wine pairing evening last night, which conveniently coincided with our wedding anniversary!The four courses were all delicious, great value for money and we enjoyed the opportunity to be food and wine critics for the evening! Service was the best we have had by far locally. Lovely setting and great atmosphere. We tried things we wouldnât usually go for and enjoyed the different wines with each course. Made our anniversary feel a bit more special.Canât believe we havenât tried The Bells before, we will definitely return and hope they do more events like this!

I would highly recommend the Grille Steakhouse. The steaks were cooked amazingly well and well seasoned. We have the Tbone and Rib eye. Reasonably priced for the meal and the drinks are very reasonably. Cocktails £5 and they were amazing. Canât wait to return.

I've been visiting Barnsley for years as my husband is a local lad and we've eaten at many restaurants in the area when visiting his family so this place was a very pleasant surprise. We went on a Wednesday lunchtime and just managed to get a table for four without any wait as we hadn't booked and the place was very busy. The menu was very good with plenty of choice for both food and drinks. The staff were very friendly and cheerful. We had drinks whilst waiting for our food and they were served very quickly. Our food arrived without waiting too long. 2 of us had the fish cakes which were well presented on a slate with salad and 2 of us had a huge plate of ham and eggs. We all asked for the fat chips but 3 portions would have been enough. The prices are probably a little high for a cafe style restaurant but the food is good quality and the menu very good. The deserts looked amazing but we didn't try any. Unfortunately the fish cakes were a little mushy, the chips a little greasy and the ham and eggs also a little greasy. I'm hoping that this was because the kitchen was rushed with all the tables they had to cook for and maybe the fat hadn't got up to a hot enough temperature? The noise in the restaurant was also a problem which is a pity because it detracted from the ambience a restaurant should have. We browsed around the shop before leaving. Interesting things on display but at a price. Our friends purchased some meat which looked excellent.All in all very similar to the Chatsworth Farm Shop experience. We will definitely try this place again but when it is less busy and the restauarant a lot less noisy.

This is an ordinary pub on the outskirts of Barnsey not in the centre of London. £7.35 for a pint and half of Heineken, (usually the cheapest lager anywhere) didn't even pay this on holiday in Cornwall, By the way the chips are usually handcut but this week they were out of a packetDear Joan SThank you for taking the time to review your visit here at The Waggon we value all reviews and welcome constructive criticism as it helps us improve our business. The price of our beers and wines are competitive with similar independants within the area. You will find that Heineken has rebranded as a premium lager with a new blend hence the price point ... gone are the days when it is considered the cheap option I'm afraid.Now the 'packet' chips I really do take offence at this remark as it is simply not true! We pride ourselves on serving fresh produce including our chips which are all peeled, cut and cooked on the premises and welcome you to come and ask to look in our kitchen and see for yourself before you make such untrue statements.I would say that we hope to see you again however as your husband made a point of storming out saying he wouldn't be back again I think that this will not be happening. We are sorry that you felt like this however looking at your previous reviews on trip advisor then there are not many places that fit your price expectations except your comparision place of choice - 'Crown Carveries' . We are a very different establishment to these mass producing chains (who have economies of scale on their side if not quality and fresh ingredients) hence I think maybe its for the best you choose there so that your expectations are met, as they are not being with all the one star reviews you seem to relish writing.Take care and I hope you find what you are searching forKind RegardsSamantha Brewis

My wife and I ate on Saturday evening with friends. Prawns with onion and garlic came with lots of onion and garlic and very few prawns and my belly pork was overcooked so that the meat was hard with two overcooked pieces of black pudding. Chicken supreme was a quarter of dry roasted chicken with potato, peas and broccoli with an overwhelming raw garlic taste. My understanding of chicken supreme is a creamy sauce with bacon but unfortunately there was nothing supreme about this dish. The sea bass consisted of two small skinless fillets pan fried (overcooked again) with potato and cabbage. The brownie should have been dense and gooey but was more like a chocolate sponge with hard edges.Overall very disappointed and very reluctant whilst with friends who were satisfied with their meals to complain as it would have spoiled the evening.Thank you for your feedback.We take on board all comments, both positive and negative, and always improve upon these.No issues were raise about any of the comments mentioned above to any member of staff therefore we were unable to rectify the said issues. If you would have let one of us know, we would have replaced your food and offered you another item as a gesture of goodwill however this was not possible in this situation.I am disappointed to hear that you didn't enjoy your starters and mains but I am really happy to hear that your friends enjoyed their meals.Our chocolate brownie is homemade to our own recipe and may differ from other forms of brownie you have eaten before however this is a method of cooking and does vary in different establishments. We hope to see you soon and give you a positive experience.Thank you.

Our first time here and we were not disappointed. We didn't even know it existed! My Fiance's son had found it online and suggested we all for a meal there. I've lived in Barnsley for over two years and my my Fiance for five and no one had told us about it. We've obviously missed out on some delicious meals out! The venue is quite quirky and is adjoined to the snooker hall which was founded by Joe Johnson (world snooker champion 1986 for those youngsters who perhaps have never heard of him) and the bistro is owned and run by his son who was really attentive and explained how everything worked and told us it was his menu. The menu is excellent and everything on it is homemade! We all wanted to try the beef wellington but unfortunately there was only two portions of this left. This didn't matter at all as I got to share my beef wellington with my fiance and I had half of his filled Yorkshire puddings! Both equally as good! Apparently the curry was delicious too. I was delighted that not everything was served with chips! They have an excellent range of gins and wines. Only slimline tonic though. Please could you get some ordinary tonic for next time we visit! The staff were really very good and friendly without being intrusive. Oh yes....we will definitely be going again soon! Loved it!
