Common Road, Brierley, Barnsley S72 9ET
The first place we visited on our quest. Burntwood is in Brierley and for people without access to a car could be quite difficult to get to as it is quite out of the way. It is a large Hotel and always gets really busy on a Sunday. The busiest time being between 12-4, the Carvery is on while 6 and starts at 11.30
Car parking is normally okay.
The lay out is quite strange. You walk in and are greeted by a member of staff and are told how long you are expected to be waiting and from there are left to your own devices. Finding a seat can be difficult at busy times and you can't just sit anywhere as there are always people waiting to be seated and tables and chairs are normally already spoken for.
Once seated you can then make your way to the carvery. We've visited Burntwood on a view occasion and on all occasions there has always been a really long queue for the carvery.
Our verdict;
The meats from Burntwood were all really tasty and good quality.
A good variety of vegetables and cooked to a good standard.
The gravy is lovely and the plates are a good size, the mash is really nice and there is a good combination of
cauliflower/broccoli cheese. On the down side the Roast potatoes aren't home made and the Yorkshire puddings are overdone and although mint sauce was available it had all gone, and took a while to be replaced. Also, we were sat very close to the carvery, which was good for walking distance, but very warm.
All in all together we came up with an overall score of 7/10 and would recommend.
The price is slightly in the higher
end at at £8.95 but is worth it taking into consideration the place. Drinks are also quite expensive.
Worth a visit for a good standard of food and nice surroundings. Just be prepared to wait and queue.
