We went here with friends and to be honest we were unsure of what to expect. This has to be one of the best restaurants in the area. Exceptional food, pleasant staff and a good atmosphere within the restaurant. This place is highly recommended we will definitely be visiting again in the near future.

"The Old Post Office" conjures up a kind of chocolate-boxy image of a pre-war British village institution covered in Cotswold ivy where a kindly, bewhiskered gentleman sells penny blacks, crumpets and firewood to ladies to keep them warm. In reality it stands alone off J38 of the M1 near Barnsley next to what appears to be a building site. But... More

Relatively new to writing reviews but I assume you take on board customer comments - Visited with family last week all was well until 2 family members who were unable to dine with us arrived for drinks only - this seemed to be frowned upon for some reason other than that food was okay but the room was very cold...

We are regular visitors to the Old Post Office and never leave disappointed. We don't tend to book and just turn up and to their credit have never been turned away, that said there are only the two of us. We plumped for their 3 course Sunday lunch menu at £14.95 for three courses. Garlic mushrooms to start with, consistently... More

I have rarely had a better steak and that's what this place mainly is, a steak eaterie. Good service but I wouldn't say the ambiance is great. Limited choice of good beer in an area where there is plenty of good stuff to choose from. The pricing is reasonable but since I'm a Southerner and used to overpriced beer and... More

Called in for a drink during a nice walk. Outside it says steak house and bar on the sign and we just wanted a drink. Probably around 30 tables outside but when I went in, most areas had signs saying "diners only" and "attended service only, we don't serve at the bar". Then advertise it as a restaurant and take...

Had lunch today with my partner. We had Steak and a Chicken dish.Good selection on the menu to suit most appetites whether you want a light bite or something more substantial. The food was of good quality and very tasty, however, the salad on the plate looked very limp. I didn't bother to mention this as I wouldn't have eaten... More
