I've been popping in to the Pantry for a "Café stop" while out on my bike ride for a couple of years now. Its roughly half way so just right. It's a lovely place to sit outside (if the weather is good) and enjoy what I believe to be the best scones you'll find anywhere in the UK. Home made, just sweet enough, lovely light & fluffy in the middle, perfect! The ladies who work there are always very nice, always there for a chat. The café is situated within the heritage centre grounds, tucked away in a sheltered corner. Inside is nice and cosy too. Prices are OK. About £6 for cream tea, you really can't grumble at that. They always have a great selection of other cakes and biscuits etc. If you're in the area or actually visiting the heritage centre I highly recommend taking some time out and go have a brew and a bun at the Pantry 👍😊
Staff friendly. Food very good. Tables inside and out. All one level. Good value teas & coffees with a selection of light meals.
Met some friends here for a coffee. Staff friendly and I must say the cakes and pastries looked really delicious but managed to resist. Not much room between tables, you can just manage to get through if people move in. Didn't see any warm food brought out . Was late morning Wednesday when we went in and fairly quiet but my midday as we were leaving the place was full which says a lot. Plenty of tables outside, some under a gazebo but too chilly to sit outside.
arrived 12:45pm on saturday, surprised many outside seats were not occupied. the ploughman's lunch was good. other foods were OK. very tasty sausage rolls.
Small cafe but food was lovely , generous portions
Great little cafe tucked away in a historical area part of South Yorkshire, reasonably priced drinks and food. Call in when visiting the Elsecar, heritage centre, nice visitors centre with lots of local history.

Extremely friendly staff serving. Lots of outdoor seating. Attractive decor. OK prices. Good hot chocolate. My only mini-grumble was that my double egg sandwich eggs were overdone. Part of the unadulterated joy of an egg sandwich is the oozy yokes, but this didn't have that magic. I like my eggs runny, not semi hard boiled. It is sooo disappointing when eggs get overcooked. Still, the rest of the visit was totally fine, nice to have such affable staff.
Hard to fault this lovely place. Obviously a favourite stop, so expect it to be busy. Coffee is nice and the cakes look stunning. Service super friendly. Good size undercover outdoor seating is a plus. Go and enjoy the Heritage Centre and the park.
A little cafe for all to enjoy. Coffees buns sandwiches ect worth a visit. Inside Elsecar heritage free parking toilets all on one level well some odd steps but some ways around them.
Fantastic food and great service go regularly, mainly when antiques fair is there Sunday
