Walked to this place today after a long walk for a pie and a pint in the sun. Well worth it. Great home made pies of all kinds and a good selection of beers. Beer garden was good too, well kept tables and grass etc. Pie was pork and black pudding served with mushy peas and gravy, it was brilliant. Really good.

Love, love, love The George. A proper traditional pub with not a TV in sight. Great choice of drinks including their homemade Watson & Wyatt's Gin. The homemade pies are delicious too and if you fancy pizza, Nomadic Pizza are there on Friday nights too. Dean and the gang are super welcoming, especially of dogs 🐶

Called in on a Sunday with my (small) walking group for food and drinks. Decent beer selection - my Acorn Barnsley Gold was well kept and perfectly served. I had the chicken and bacon pie with peas and gravy, which was delicious. Just the thing for a mid-walk snack. The steak and black pudding pie when down well with a couple of the others.

Follow The Pecking Order 23 on Facebook for all our reviews. Overall experience 9.4/10 Food 9/10 Service 9.9/10 Cleanliness 10/10 Atmosphere/Setting 9/10 Value 9/10 This House is through the roof!! A nice location. Ample parking at the back. Overall this was a very satisfying experience. The service started brilliantly.We were greeted at the bar by the Head Waiter who instructed his staff to seat us at our prebooked table. Our drinks orders were taken and then the Head Waiter came over to inform of the Specials on the menu and the soup of the day. A short wait for our drinks followed by our usual mix of starters. We had the scallops which were on the specials menu. These were cooked perfectly, sat on a cauliflower puree, a thoroughly enjoyable dish.. The Duck Orange Pate had a good flavour and was seved with a chutney, which slightly overpowered the pate and bread. The wild mushroom arancini, the only real disappointment of the meal, was a little bland, we couldn't really taste the mushrooms and garlic if there was any present though great texture. The marinara sauce they sat on was a good strong clean and fresh flavour. We had the beef sirloin Sunday Roast main course served with Yorkshire pudding, roast potatoes , mash and vegetables. The beef was cooked to perfection and the gravy was exceptionally delicious. Mash was smooth and creamy and well cooked vegetables. The horseradish served with it had good kick, and seemed to be homemade with real grated horseradish. We had to try the seasonal bonfire parkin cake. Although nice and a bit different from the usual menu desserts it was in need of some more sauce or ice cream. The sticky toffee pudding was light and full of flavour. The blackberry parfait was a little bland lacking the punch of blackberry I was hoping for, but pleasant enough. Although the food was very good overall, it was the service which was outstanding at this place. We were offered drinks at exactly the right moment, we were checked on to see if everything was OK, the staff were all courteous and respectful, taking care to apologise for any interruptions they needed to make to offer drinks etc. The chap running the team was meticulous in his work and orchestrated everything impeccably. This would have been our first 10/10 for service but one of the waitresses brought our last drink holding the glass by the top with her fingers all around the rim. We will definitely be returning to try the midweek menu . The Pecking Orders final verdict. Being just a few minutes off the M1 motorway it's definitely worth a detour if you're passing.

Booked to celebrate our wedding anniversary. The food and service was exemplary. Lovely atmosphere and a change to have food cooked and prepared in a traditional method

Had the pleasure of dining here tonight to celebrate our silver wedding anniversary (actually back in July - but due to circumstances beyond everyone’s control it happened tonight). From the moment we arrived James was the perfect host - we were made to feel more than welcome, we were made to feel at home. The atmosphere was so relaxed and James and Ava (hope I have spelt that right) were so friendly, so welcoming and so professional. Had a relaxing drink in the bar area before going to our table which is always nice. James fully explained the various options available and was very attentive without being overbearing. Our food was stunning, simply stunning. Scallops and Pate to start Cod wrapped in pancetta with butterbean, chorizo and red onion cassoulet and Fillet Steak with twice cooked chips - cooked to perfection for mains Dark chocolate Delice for Dessert. Service was stunning - professional without bowing and scraping (which I personally hate) and just plain friendly. We were not rushed at all, just made very welcome. No hesitation in recommending this restaurant and we WILL DEFINITELY return. Thank you for a superb evening.

We had our dinner there the food is great the fish butty was delicious and they did a pear cheese and potato soup and the other dishes that other people had looked very nice. And there is a Christmas market on until the end of December. If you go for a meal it’s best to book as it’s very popular.

Great Food and a Lovely Market. I visited here on a cloudy Sunday afternoon for brunch at Hide & Hoof and found The Barn Market was open too. The Barn has a nice selection of local Yorkshire independent stores selling unique goods like stylish prints with Yorkshire slang and hand made jewellery. At Hide & Hoof Farm Restaurant, it was very busy on a Sunday afternoon. The restaurant has a large capacity with both ground floor and upstairs eating areas but despite this it was very busy for Sunday lunch. I’d recommend booking a table ahead of schedule if possible. I had a group of 7 and was seated upstairs. The restaurant atmosphere is lovely as was the interior decor of the restaurant. The staff were very friendly and served me and my friends promptly after we decided what we wanted to eat. I ordered the 3 stack of American Pancakes with crispy chicken, chargrilled back bacon & maple syrup which costs £10.95 and I also ordered a Pot ‘a’ Tots (hash brown bites) from the special menu which costs £3.95. The food arrived within 40 minutes on a very busy Sunday. The crispy chicken was cooked beautifully and was paired well with the bacon and syrup, the tots were lovely, fried and cooked to perfection! Worth the wait. After brunch, I ordered ice-cream from The Udder Room. Downstairs in the restaurant the ice-cream counter was very busy and I was asked to visit the outdoor store instead. There is a nice selection of ice-cream available (see my photos). I ordered the double scoop of Biscoff & Raspberry Ripple in a cone which costs £4. The ice-cream wasn’t particularly special but topped off the lovely brunch. Overall, I had a lovely afternoon at Hide & Hoof Farm Restaurant. The service was good and the food was great. I would like to visit again and try different food at the restaurant. I think next time I would also give the ice-cream a miss.

Lovely pub with lovely host. The food is great. If i didn't live so far away I would make this my local. Living 20 mins away (in a car) is just too far for a pint 4 us. Great customer service. Friendly face as you enter. Great selection of whisky as well! X

It’s been a few years since we visited here, the food was always amazing but being honest, in the past it lacked ambience and atmosphere. It’s had a revamp now however and has music and lovely lighting and new comfy seating and an outdoor area, it’s really really nice. The portions are smaller but it’s still enough for us and we loved it.

Booked a Sunday dinner here as all other local eateries were fully booked. We were told to be prompt as it was busy. However we were the first to order food and only another table was taken. Having said that the Sunday roast was very nice. We had duo of ham and sirloin beef. One ham was very fatty - end pieces, but I was impressed with the tasty vegetables and huge Yorkshire puddings. We were also pleased they accommodated for dogs as again another local eatery said they could only accommodate dogs outside! In Winter? I would recommend this establishment and the Sunday roast, sorry didn't have room for a dessert.

First of all let me tell you that we are massive foodies, and having spent some time recently in Dubai we have been spoilt with the food over there which doesn’t compare to the UK, however we just stumbled across this place after a drive out and called in for Sunday dinner and what a treat!!! First class, friendly service from walking through the door. Lovely chilled vibe and ambience and the Sunday lunch was actually the best we’ve ever had. We enjoyed it that much that we’ve booked for Christmas Dinner, despite living an hour away. Jack, it was an absolute pleasure to meet you, keep doing what you do and see you on Xmas day. Dan & Anna xxxx

Good food and service. Very practical booths with heaters outside. A lot of dog owners outside. The place needs to be swept better! I've found about 8 glass shards just at the entrance of our booth.

Had a fantastic birthday meal and family gathering for my Mums 85th birthday. We used the private dining room which was perfect. The food was fantastic, we had the various roast dinner options and the fish and chips. The service was spot on and they found the right balance of being attentive whilst leaving us to enjoy the food. Jack (The Manager) was on hand to ensure everything ran smoothly and we had everything we needed. Nothing was too much trouble and we felt welcome and well looked after. Would highly recommend !!!

This was my second time dining at 315 bar, my first time was an anniversary meal, and recently for my mums 60th birthday. This is such a nice venue for special occasions and date night. The food and staff are lovely, and not overpriced. I will definitely be back.

We love meeting our family here for delicious food great service & a homely atmosphere The menu covers something for every taste proper food perfect sized portions perfectly cooked I love the duo of lamb, but the steak is beautiful & my daughter loved her mac& cheese. We followed that up with banoffee pie it was amazing. So if your looking for a nice spot for a meal while on your travels around here then pop in . Better still book a table in advance & avoid disappointment, i can promise you will enjoy you visit either way
