• "The whole experience was fantastic. Staff were great. Our hostess was amazing."

Cons:

• "The staff are nice but we waited a very long time before any meat came to our table and then long pauses in-between."
• "Towards the end of the session we noticed the meat delivery started to massively drop off, we were not told this so felt like we were just being avoided by everyone."
• "We were also rushed out the door because people wanted our table, again, communication would have been nice so we knew we were running out of time in our allocated space."
• "The added service charge has put us off a bit. I don't feel comfortable asking for it removing."
• "The speed of service was terrible, with little to no meat coming to us."
• "The waitresses were great, also regarding the meat.. the first bit of fillet steak was excellent from the on it was rump etc not that I’m worried either way but most of it was inedible, tough as hell completely undercooked/raw."
• "Food is awesome, it's expensive, cost us over £75 for 2 meals and 2 drinks, the service is good, but slow."
• "The employee stated 'it may be because you’re in the corner and keep being missed' which to us isn’t a great excuse."

Value for Money

Pros:

• "We spent a very enjoyable two hours here, and between 5 of us the bill was still a touch under £100, so great value."

• "Price is not everyones cup of tea but definitely worth the price."

• "Great array of side and main food, all the meat is worth trying at least once and you never have to worry about portion sizes."
• "This is possibly the best place in barnsley. The atmosphere is warm, The food and drink is absolutely divine and the variety is astonishing."

Cons:

• "The meat is nice and so is the salad bar but with the price increases doesn’t seem value for money anymore."
• "Ultimately, at £29.99 a head, you are buying an expensive salad."
• "We had no issues at all tipping the staff due to their great service. A great restaurant, but for us, we just won't be able to afford it anytime soon."
• "Love going here the food is amazing and the venue is very nice too this would be 5 star but the cost is very expensive."
• "I will give it another go, but really disappointed at £210 for 5 adults and one child 🤔"
• "Meat coming out was very slow considering restaurant only had a few tables seated. Finished are meal went to the bar on the way out to pay asked what are bill was told verbally by lady on balance amount paid cash given a receipt, noticed a service charge / tip added of £5.38 spoke to another member of staff saying I was not told about service charge added."
• "Disappointed there was a “ service “ charge? Was asked if we were happy with the bill? I wondered why. The meal was nice. The place is nice. But should be more upfront and request if we would like to pay a service charge."
• "Very slow with service we ended up just having a sausage and a piece of rare steak. We did ask for other Meats but none came we specially asked for pork and gammon but to no avail. Would not recommend visiting this place as a group. Might be different if only 2 persons."

• "We had a great time on February 25 for my birthday celebration. The whole staff was amazing, but Maddy, we give you a gold medal because she was lovely from the time we came in till she finished her shift. We will definitely book again.

• "The whole experience was fantastic. Staff were great. Our hostess was amazing. It's a shame I can't remember her name. We where there to celebrate my best friend's birthday."

Cons:

• "We were also rushed out the door because people wanted our table, again, communication would have been nice so we knew we were running out of time in our allocated space."
• "It was quite frustrating as we watched other tables get the table service of frequent drinks and bills being brought to them. It’s not an issue to us to leave the table and get our own drinks or ask for the bill but as we were told it was table service this was very frustrating and due to the lack of service we will probably not be returning."
• "We were the only people in.. literally... overpriced. Flat lager, the host 'rachael' was polite, friendly etc but probably thankful for the company.. a manager of some sort was just pacing in and out on a phone call.. didnt stop for food as we thought it wasnt a good sign that it was empty... the 1 star was for the flat beer..."
• "The steak was tough. Was offered carved pineapple ...ran out of the gammon! Staff looked miserable. Embarrassing as I'd taken a family friend for dinner. Hate giving bad reviews but something had gone badly wrong."
• "The place is very well decorated inside the staff were more thank welcoming very polite and the food was very delicious, highly recommend this place to anyone."
• "We arrived and was told to order drinks on the app. We did happily. We was then taken to the salad bar which was difficult as things were just written down in front of you."
