Beatson house if you can get a table. Or Spencers. Both in Cawthorne And to be honest, while Toby carvery at Dodworth isn't in the same league, for the price it's very good.
Elephant and Castle at Hemingfield. My local and amazing but wear some trousers an inch larger. Gut buster, eat at 2 asleep by half 3. Good beer as well to wash it down. Not slot of choice of beers but great quality, lines cleared regularly.
Used the upstairs room in the Talbot a few times in the past. Real good value for money. Don't know if he still goes in there, but at one time, Dickie Bird was a regular. Always had lamb chops with loads of veg, week in week out.
Believe someone told me that the Talbot had closed but that was some time ago. Has it re-opened now Jay.? Recall the floor in the upstairs dining room was very uneven. I often wondered if they had subsidence issues.
Going strong and highly recommended. Eat in the bar - same snap but cheaper As is the Cherry Tree at High Hoyland.
Cheers LS. Called in at the Cherry Tree en route to Cannon Hall Farm when our kids were little. From memory, always had nice food and a good pint there. Liked sitting outside in the Summer and enjoying the stunning views of the surrounding countryside.
If you decide on the Talbot and some else is driving, you’ve cracked it. Good beer plus the Wentworth (same owner) and The Old Bakery within 100 yards.
Been once, never again, molten hot microwaved starter, duchess potatoes baked to the plate, dickie was there, but it was a really bad experience, might have changed, this was 4-5 years ago maybe
