1 Knabbs Lane, Silkstone Common, South Yorkshire S75
This choice caused some divide between the four of us. Two of us wanted to give it a go and myself and Emily Hewitt were apprehensive. On arrival The Station Inn looked like your bog standard local, and when entering myself and Emily didn't have high hopes. It was full on men, drinking pints and just a typical scene of a local pub on a Sunday. There were about 5 tables were you could you sit to have your lunch so we picked a table and proceeded to order. Unlike the two previous Sunday dinners The Station Inn isn't a carvery. Quickly we were told that there wasn't much beef left but they had chicken. 3 of us ordered chicken on 1 beef. The food was brought out and we were slightly disappointed as there didn't seem to be a lot and asked for a extra portion of mash.
But to our amazement the food was delicious. Two large home made roast potatoes a home made Yorkshire pudding and chicken or beef were all ready on the plate with the option if cabbage, carrots, peas and cauliflower as well as mash and a jug of gravy.
Everything was lovely.
Our verdict ;
A hidden gem. From the outside it doesn't look much in comparison to Burntwood but the food was delicious. The atmosphere was friendly and the staff were really helpful and attentive. To say it was a pub atmosphere there were no drunks annoying you whilst eating. We all agreed that it was really, really nice, and a pleasant surprise.
All in all we gave The Station Inn a 9.5/10 as we couldn't really fault anything apart from the portion size of the vegetables.
Thoroughly enjoyed by all and proves you shouldn't judge a book by its cover. Well worth a visit!
Very true
