The Best Cafes in South Elmsall, West Yorkshire, United Kingdom (2025)

First time in for the carvery and thoroughly enjoyed it and the food was great my only criticism/comment ( and it's the same at every carvery I've been to ) the selection of meat was beef, turkey, pork and gammon 1 dark meat and 3 light meats but only one beef gravy. Could do with a gravy to complement the light meats as I chose pork and gammon so why would I want a beef gravy. Still a really nice Sunday dinner keep it up

Really lovely local - recently had a fabulous make over. Greeted with a warm welcome by all the staff, (who can’t do enough to help!) and served with beautiful home cooked food. Really great value - lots of choice - highly recommend a visit!

Beautifully decorated, gorgeous food and reasonable prices. I struggle with big meals so love getting the pick n mix plates, the duck bon bons are to die for.

Cheap and cheerful carvery, however room is a little too busy.

Best Ham sandwich I've ever had, so tasty! Turkey was delicious too. Shame we live so far away. Reasonable priced and lovely staff

Tried sausage rolls and shortbread jam biscuits and they were both delicious. Friendly service. Great prices.

Absolutely lovely food from there. Very good prices considering the cost of living. Staff are very friendly always serve with a smile making it a pleasure to shop there. If I could give a 10 star I would. They are 💯 here. My go to bakers.

Shop ladies always friendly and helpful. Must place to visit for your bakery products.

Went in today for the first time, collected my order, and the food was lovely staff was amazing aswell I will 100% be returning

First time writing a google review and I have done so because it is truly deserved, Jack Potato with tuna and cheese is what I purchased and it was so very nice and I WILL be going back to purchase in the future. Toilets AVAILABLE and the 2 staff members there supplied me with hot water, which was so very kind. Very friendly people who could not do enough for their customers. 5 Star Review, Highly Recommend.

Fabulous food always delivered fast and hot. We love the breakfast muffins, they're much better than McDonald's. Only problem we have is we're ordering far too often because it's so good.

Nice, cozy spot with great food and friendly staff. Couldn't recommend this place enough for a good home breakfast, toast was properly done, eggs were on point, and it was a very healthy portion especially for the price. well done!

A new pub on Moorthorpe Station. Brilliant choice of Real Ales. Hopefully a feature will be made of the old waiting room/conservatory. Still feels a bit corporate office when walking in. But looking forward to this pub progressing. Really enjoyed it.

This pup mainly serves I.P.A beers brewed in Barnsley as well as original fruit ciders brewed in Somerset. The setting is quaint and spotlessly clean. Staff are extremely friendly and professional. They know all about their beers and ciders and will willingly let you try before you buy. Being an old train station, you can watch the trains if inclined to do so. There is a rare treat of nostalgia now and again. That is when the last of Yorkshires steam trains passes through. Plenty of parking,and also outdoor seating if required. The bar is also disabled friendly as it is all on one level. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our time at the Mallard.

Great little local. Always welcoming with good service. Nice selection of drinks. Occasionally they have bands or other entertainment on which is work keeping an eye out for. It's also a good place to grab a drink while waiting for the train.

The pub offers real ales on handpump from Barnsley's Jolly Boys Brewery. The pub which is located on platform 2 of Moorthorpe Train Station (no access from platform) was rescued by the Jolly Boys Brewery and today is a friendly community local. Child and Dog friendly.

Friendly cafe that was busy when we arrived. Good prices , big portions and pretty good food.

Beautiful food! Can get very busy lots to choose from on the menu. Home made food! Serves coffee, tea, soft drinks, cocktails, wine and beers.

Caroline and staff were amazing when they went out of their way to cater and make our small wedding reception of 20 special. We had a cordoned off area and L shaped seating. The food and ambience was just right. Can't recommend place enough. Was perfect on the day.

Lovely bar with excellent food. Catered well for my dietary needs in a helpful and friendly way- with nothing being a problem. Will definitely be back soon. Thank you.

Lovely friendly atmosphere. Everything made fresh on the day. Got a bar in it too. Hidden away down a side alley down ropergate by The Bank pub which used to be The Yorkshire Bank. Got a nice little outdoor area too.

It’s a cute little cafe, I came in for a quick drink and would come again. The menu is simple which is not necessarily a bad thing, plus there are cakes available which look lovely. They even gave me a party ring biscuit with my mocha which is just fab. Service was also decent too!

Visited today with a friend and my baby, lovely staff and nice atmosphere. Coffee and blondie really good, had to take half home! Will definitely call again, can't believe I've been in ponte 5 years and only just visited! ☺️ x

First time in today with my mum and daughter but it won’t be the last. Best latte I’ve had and my daughter loved the hot chocolate, next time we will be sampling the gorgeous food. The staff are super friendly. It’s a lovely atmosphere and fab place. Definitely my new favourite find 💜

Not sure what the below review is all about, I go here nearly every day, coffee is probably the best in Pontefract, always have a good variety of cakes and bakes on offer, they even do really good sandwiches and toasties, and the customer service is second to none, always happy and ready to have a conversation and have been since day 1, unlike other coffee shops who seemingly want to get you in and out.

Lovely staff Lovely food

Very nice food and very nice people too I would give 10 stars if I could

Fantastic breakfast.been there more than twice.always stop for a full English when up that way.good value for your money!

Always amazing food, cannot go wrong, great prices, and deliver to you at work

Found this little gem at random, really good food and cost is brilliant, defo recommend the full English breakfast 👌

We love it here. Great value, great food and great service. Lovely atmosphere.

Polite service. Food fairly hot, ordered jumbo breakfast was huge. Think on menu board each should state items

Fantastic cafe. On a business trip, me and my colleague visited after reading reviews and being recommended by a local. I had the steak pie and chips, the portion was plentiful and hearty with proper gravy. My colleague had a bespoke breakfast as he is gluten free. Both of the staff couldn't have been more friendly and helpful in that situation. They kindly made a breakfast which was tasty, wholesome and gluten free. Our coffees were also well sized and a good strength. Thank you, if we are ever in the area again we will visit!

Just stopped here for amazing fish and chips. The fish is so fresh and the batter really tasty. 5 stars all round.

Some of the best fish chips, mushy peas and gravy I’ve had in a long time. Knockout. And served by lovely staff too. Would very happily return.

Had fish chips and curry (my usual from here) was spot on always, the staff are great and have good friendly chat with them an will go the extra mile to help you,
