Wonderful food and friendly, welcoming service. Fabulous homemade cakes, all incredibly tempting - you just look at them and can tell straightaway that they're all home baked. The teacakes looked fab and huge. They serve breakfasts all day, which you can eat in or take out. I had the veggie brekky at a very reasonable £5.75, including toast and butter. Large breakfasts at £7.25. Very reasonably priced menu. Assortment of teas available. Afternoon teas. Gift vouchers available. Loos are upstairs. Some more seating upstairs. My green tea came in a highly unusual and very cute angular teapot. Extra hot water provided without asking. Berry cheesecake and the fresh cream mini Victoria sandwich cakes looked totally yum. Genteel little caff. Highly recommended. Shall revisit when next in Barnsley. Staff were lovely.

Delicious soup, & sandwiches full of salmon with a substantial side salad.
Chocolate orange cake worth every calorie!
Lovely china - a proper, old-fashioned tea room. The service was very efficient - we didn't wait long to either order or be served. Pleasant staff.

I've been going to these tea rooms for many years. Never had a problem with food, It's always been fresh and tasty. Reasonably priced. All their food is eatable unless you're a consistent complainer!
Hot specials are to die for! Staff are great. Decent toilet. Lovely atmosphere. Steps will be a hindrance for some. It's a bijioux place, small and has high chairs.

Excellent tearoom friendly staff, great food decent size portions too, big selection of coffees.
Cakes are the best too all homemade.
Only downside is it's only cash payments.

Victorian Tea Rooms has a lovely atmosphere. Helpful and friendly staff with excellent food every time. Cooked meals with meat and veg etc also available. Deserts also on the menu. Yummy. Great place for people alone as you don't feel an oddbod. More tables upstairs and a lovely clean cloakroom. November 2023 - some good updates to the menu, and CARD PAYMENTS are now accepted. Noted people of the town also frequent this lovely tea room. Says a lot.

I am sat in the Victoria tea rooms now with my mum. The table at the side of us ordered their food 5 seconds before us and the table across from us ordered it 5 seconds after us. Now mum asked where our food was it was a simple salmon sandwich and the people at the side and opposite have both been offered free refill for waiting but as my mum asked why we have waited 40 minutes for a sandwich we have been ignored. Will never go back here. It was our favourite place to go but now I will not go here again. Poor poor poor customer service.

We booked an afternoon tea for 2 and turned up in 50s attire! It was really lovely. The food was gorgeous we had to bring some home as we were stuffed. The staff really made it a great couple of hours. Would really recommend it and in a gorgeous quaint little tea room

I really like the Victoria tea rooms but we called in yesterday and left disappointed. We sat there for at least 20 minutes, during that time the table wasn't cleared from the previous customer neither were we acknowledged and an order taken so we walked out. My star rating from my previous experiences.
