Great new menu, lovely staff, great value for money. No longer waiting times for food. Definitely recommend.
Visited yesterday 18th may for partners birthday. Excellent food great service very friendly staff. Even went out of their way to chill a bottle of wine as the only bottle they had left was on display. Never had a bad meal yet. Will definitely be going again.
Went here recently for a meal with friends. The food was great, affordable and the service from a waitress (Shannon) was super. We're a fussy lot and nothing was too much trouble. Will definitely be back again :)
Arrived at 6.30 and the place was very quiet only few customers eating. All the staff smiled and said hello , they Immediately pointed out that the kitchen was closing early and apologised, but were happy to put our order through. Two of us order different types of steak. My sizzling strips were tender and cooked perfectly. The onions and peppers are frozen so not a great deal of flavour in them , adding salt helps. Lovely fresh side salad and I tried the Mexican pasta. This was very mayo covered not overly exciting . However I have had a lot worse and the chefs are following company menus. The other steak was again well cooked and presented accompanied with fries, mushrooms, onion rings peas. A very filling tea. The pub has a great variety of seating to suit everyone, from individual to large family. Nicely decorated and very clean pub. All the staff were friendly

Drakehouse Mill is your slightly better than typical Hungry Horse.
Pub grub prices with matching food and environment.
Never had any complaints with the food when we're in the mood for the no frills hearty pub classics.
Waiting time can be a little longer than usual, past few times it's been down to staffing shortage when we asked - but nothing too crazy or off putting.
Decent layout with plenty of nooks and crannies for a semi-private feel when your eating, never tend be be sat on top of others.
Staff always seem friendly enough, again, no frills.
Will likely keep popping back now and again.
I really enjoyed my meal here with my family. The staff were friendly and very welcoming.
The music was awesome, glad to finally hear alternative genres. Thank you for the amazing korean playlist this afternoon.
Visited the other day, Sunday 16th for food and drinks. I was sat on table 27 and could hear the chefs singing which made my visit even more enjoyable, everyone seemed happy which is unusual these days. The food was hot and tasted amazing (think it was part of a new menu) I was served efficiently and wasn't waiting too long for my food. Great pub and great team. Keep it up 👍
Absolutely amazing food, we had quite a few things between the two of us and it was all beautiful. We were served by Beth, she's so lovely and friendly. Great service, got us everything we needed & more! We would definitely visit again because of Beth!! 5****

Excellent service, food very good and hot. Duncan, the manager, made you feel very welcome. Staff friendly and efficient would highly recommend a visit 👍 😊
Always enjoy it here. Good food and decent drinks selection. Very friendly staff. Crispy chicken ranch burger and a couple of Guinness.
Great Customer Service, provided by Elaine. This lady was all for looking out for the customers best interest. Was perfect at taking order's without any problems. Everything came as expected just how, we as a family wanted it. Overall food was nice and we enjoyed every minute of our stay here. Elaine made my day with generosity and being great at her Job. Give that lady a raise she is truly an asset to the company. Well Done.
The staff are pleasant and very helpful, anything you ask for they to accommodate. The service is efficient and the atmosphere relaxed. The food is excellent.
Just popped in for a meal on Sunday afternoon and really enjoyed it. Food and service excellent. The steak was cooked to order, very good. Will go again.
Had a lovely meal last Sunday but was disappointed for the fact I rang on Friday and booked for myself and friends from Barnsley and although we managed to get a seat they hadn't got my booking written down but I would definitely go again
