Palatable & Pleasant - Highly recommended! I visited the Pavilion on Wednesday (07/11/18) and loved it. Within a second two staff greeted me with smiles and the manager cleaned the table and had me seated within 10 seconds of walking in. The vibe is fantastic with wooden floors, industrial metal roof and the casual dining atmosphere added character to this new cafe, bar and kitchen restaurant. The manager, Kay, took my order and I had to get the Bailey’s Coffee which after two sips had the kick I needed on the rainy afternoon. Over 15 customers seated and each one had a smile and the staff really cared about the service with frequent kitchen visits to keep the operation running smooth. Seeing the food coming out the kitchen, I had to order the Pulled Pork Burger and it was mouth-watering. Crispy fries, crunchy lettuce and coleslaw that made me wish for a Pavilion barbecue event as the burger and pork were cooked to perfection. With an introductory discount of 20%, I paid 9.16 for a tasty burger and strong coffee which filled me up till this morning though is worth the full price. An added bonus is a discount of 10% to Council employees and being less than 1 minute from the Council could make it the next hotspot. High customer service, fantastic food and pleasant vibes. Extra knowledge I found was that the Pavilion is owned by a Father and Son from Barnsley and the manager has 15 years’ experience in Bar Management in Barnsley. Pavilion is a clear example of local businesses that make Barnsley a great place to live, work and explore.

On the photos are the Duck Gyoza and Bulgogi beef bao buns to start, and then BBQ Fajitas and the Katsu chicken curry for main. The food was delicious, well presented and hot off the stove. The staff were attentive and friendly and made it a really enjoyable lunch! Fantastic little restaurant tucked away in the outskirts of Barnsley town center, would highly recommend for folks wanting something different from the usual pub-grub! Very clean throughout, facilities well maintained.

3 of us have been for fathers day and really enjoyed the food, we had some small plates to share to start with and then 3 roasts, not one complaint from anyone.

Had afternoon tea for a baby shower the cakes and sandwiches were amazing. A proper size sandwich on a roll rather than a slice of bread. Scones cakes tea coffee. Clean toilets pleasant staff and very comfortable clean surroundings xXx

Food was amazing, 10/10 would recommend to anyone. The server was really lovely, he was chatty and friendly and attentive. Cocktails were nice as well. This is a great place to hang out, can't wait to go back!
