Small for a Wetherspoons but had a lovely feel too it and had a few lovely features from Barnsley 's mining heritage. Such a pity this is ear marked to go in Tim's Wetherspoons cull!!! The staff were really friendly and I had a lovely pint in between my shopping trip,well worth a visit before it closes if your in the town.
Only called in 4 a pint or 2 had to wait 4 bus home very quiet but liked it better than old witherspoon will call in kestrel again.
Good wetherspoons as always, managers abit miserable though,
Enjoyed today special 2.99 for chicken jalfraiz and rice, was very nice, with our all you can drink tea and coffee again
Kids did well with there food, one downside was the managers abit miserable and ten tonne, she needs to loosen up abit.
Nice place, a few people in but nice and calm and quiet. Didn't order food, just a quick drink. Would go again if in the area.
Now change hands is now called The Kestrel be re-vamped got a lovely atmosphere.
Comfortable enough on a quiet, wet night in Barnsley. Quick service, great prices, especially on the food.
We go here normally every Thursday for their Curry night, which is fantastic value for money. Sometimes the Poppadoms can be very oily instead of nice and crisp and dry; but for the low price they charge I can live with that. The only thing that worries me a lot, is that the other Wetherspoons in town, the Joseph Bramah, has just been given a two-star food hygiene rating, which is shocking (it was in the local newspaper the Barnsley Chronicle). When I've looked online it looks like it's almost 5 years since the Silkstone received their food-hygiene rating. That's a long time ago, and I worry about what it's like now hygiene wise, especially as The Silkstone is up for sale and staff morale might be low if you can see where I'm coming from.
Not like it used to be, was much busier, but still a nice pub, decent food and friendly staff, keep a good pint too.
Surprisingly good curry. Attentive staff
This is a good stop off in Barnsley town centre with cheap drinks
