The Strafford Arms

Lovely pub out in the Barnsley country side. A very popular pub and so would recommend. Had cod loins which was really tasty. A nice atmosphere as it was busy and so could see it was a popular eating place. Varied menu. The afternoon teas looked a popular choice.definitely recommend. Need to book as saw quite a few people turned away.

Eat here quite a bit, enjoy it 9 times out of ten. Went for Sunday dinner today, I won't be doing that again. Tiny portion of meat, Bland gravy and poor mash *which is an extra charge as a side. Dare I say it I'd rather a Toby carvery Sunday lunch. The pub being so nice is relied on to make up for a few faults here, always thought the same..

At the end of October, four of us went to the Strafford Arms for the first time for their Viva Mexico themed night where we were promised Mexican Small Plates, Mexican Cocktails and live music with a mixture of English & Spanish songs. The food was exceptional with decent portion sizes (small plates definitely weren’t small! – just how we like them lol), the drinks were lovely (and flowing easily), the live music was heavily English biased but was still nice to have (although a little loud for some). We enjoyed; PULLED LIME & TEQUILA CHICKEN (GF) £9 – this was our favourite dish in terms of flavour, could have eaten another plate of this! FULLY LOADED NACHO FRIES (GF) £10 – another fave of ours, wow what a bowlful! Really enjoyed how much was on this plate, definitely filled us up. Didn’t spot the chips underneath all the nachos and toppings at first haha. SHREDDED LAMB SHOULDER EMPANADA, CHILLI SALSA £12 – a nice portion and spicy salsa was good, would have liked a little more filling? CHORIZO, BLACK BEAN & CORN SALSA £8 – a nice, refreshing dish Traditional Margaritas – strong & salty 😄 It was great to see many gluten free options. The service was really good, staff were friendly and food service was speedy. A lovely evening. had by all It was the first time we’d been to this cosy, country pub and I would return to try more of their food.

The decor is busy but fascinating. The food Incredible. I had a beef burger, and the bacon was honestly overdone, but it didn't matter as it was still amazingly tasty, with such a lively bacon flavour. My wife had the lamb and couldn't stop professing her admiration of the flavours. Skip the parmesan chips, the normal fries are just as tasty The lemon posset however should not be missed, again, wonderful flavours and with the most amazing, pleasantly soft shortbread!
