With its decadent decor, well stocked bar of ales, spirits and wines, seasonal menu and attentive staff, The Strafford Arms offers the full package.
The historic Strafford Arms was sympathetically and extensively refurbished by Fine & Country Inns in May 2014. Set in the picturesque Yorkshire countryside just outside Barnsley, The Strafford Arms lies at the Gateway to the estate of the Grade 1 listed Wentworth Castle, the former seat of the 1st Earl of Strafford who took up residence here during the early 18th Century.
The Strafford Arms has for many years been a popular watering hole for patrons of all ages and we now bring the modern benefits of the 21st century whilst keeping the traditional charm of its historic past. Now a stunning pub and restaurant, our classical contemporary premises make our visitors feel at home whilst dining or just popping in for refreshments.
We have a reputation for our warm hospitality, excellent food and professional service at The Stafford Arms.

Me and a friend went for the Wonka Afternoon Tea, the pub itself is so cosy with the fire going, you can see the chef working away up at the top, just a lovely pub all clean and the staff were fab, will be going back very soon
At the end of October, four of us went to the Strafford Arms for the first time for their Viva Mexico themed night where we were promised Mexican Small Plates, Mexican Cocktails and live music with a mixture of English & Spanish songs. The food was exceptional with decent portion sizes (small plates definitely weren’t small! – just how we like them lol), the drinks were lovely (and flowing easily), the live music was heavily English biased but was still nice to have (although a little loud for some). We enjoyed; PULLED LIME & TEQUILA CHICKEN (GF) £9 – this was our favourite dish in terms of flavour, could have eaten another plate of this! FULLY LOADED NACHO FRIES (GF) £10 – another fave of ours, wow what a bowlful! Really enjoyed how much was on this plate, definitely filled us up. Didn’t spot the chips underneath all the nachos and toppings at first haha. SHREDDED LAMB SHOULDER EMPANADA, CHILLI SALSA £12 – a nice portion and spicy salsa was good, would have liked a little more filling? CHORIZO, BLACK BEAN & CORN SALSA £8 – a nice, refreshing dish Traditional Margaritas – strong & salty 😄 It was great to see many gluten free options. The service was really good, staff were friendly and food service was speedy. A lovely evening. had by all It was the first time we’d been to this cosy, country pub and I would return to try more of their food.
The decor is busy but fascinating. The food Incredible. I had a beef burger, and the bacon was honestly overdone, but it didn't matter as it was still amazingly tasty, with such a lively bacon flavour. My wife had the lamb and couldn't stop professing her admiration of the flavours. Skip the parmesan chips, the normal fries are just as tasty The lemon posset however should not be missed, again, wonderful flavours and with the most amazing, pleasantly soft shortbread!
Wish I could give it 2 Star because some of the staff were nice. After waiting 40min for you food in an empty Pub, it finally arrived. The chicken burger was extremely dry, the beef burger you couldn’t get a fork through it was so hard and both burger buns stale. Kids pasta meals tasted like a packed sauce. Packet chips not half bad, and the Neck Oil as good as always.
Absolutely fantastic, the afternoon tea was amazing! Very unique, love the quirkiness of the miniature picnic bench. Staff very friendly and welcoming. Very organised and overall spot on. The fish and wedges were cooked to perfection aswell as the mini chicken burger. The selection of desserts is great as everyone likes different ones. The scone and the mini cheesecake were the best 👌 thank you I'll be visiting again x
