Out in the far reaches of our area, the Fox House is a popular destination for dining and has several dining areas, some with great views over the moors.

A bar/restaurant in an unlikely setting - above a chippy. The single space occupies a former storeroom with the bar at one end and tables at the other. It has white-painted stone walls, a massive central beam and a (sadly non-operable) fireplace. Food obviously majors on fish and chips but there are plenty of other options e.g. seafood platter, shredded pork shoulder, homemade pies. The Senior Special (F&C, pudding, tea/coffee) is great value at £10.95. Also selection of basket meals and butties with toppings for just £5. Accompanying the real ales is a good selection of bottled beers from Nailmaker and Bradfield.

After closing suddenly in November 2019 then suffering a fire, the former White Heart was fully refurbished and reopened under it old name in August 2021. Inside, the layout is not much changed but the left-hand side, with an attractive balcony area, is no longer confined to restaurant use - though this is first and foremost a dining pub. The contemporary decor, mostly in shades of grey offset in places by bare brick, is restained (some might say stark) though a collection of David McKee prints livens up the walls. The New Inn advertises itself as 'an upmarket pub serving only the finest home-cooked food' - although the prices are actually pretty reasonable and reviews so far have been very favourable. Pity about the uninspiring beer choice.

Large pub near the entrance to Wentworth Castle whose interior was mostly opened out some years ago. Reopened May 2014 after extensive refurbishment. The main physical change is removal of a wall to the right of the entrance so that the dining area is now separated from the rest of the pub only by a chimney stack. The renovations are in an over-fussy shabby-chic style with a multiplicity of flooring styles, wall treatments, furnishings etc. Superficially attractive but doesn't really hang together. A pint of real ale is pricey for the area at £3.75 and two halves pricier still (£3.95). Evening food majors on steaks - a more varied menu at lunchtimes.

The bar has a low-ceilinged and is L-shaped and is situated to the right of the hotel reception. The decor is an uneasy mixture of faux olde worlde and contemporary chic. Parts are given over to more formal dining. Prices seem to be expense-account oriented with Black Sheep being an eye watering £4.20 a pint (Feb 2014) and the food is also pretty expensive.

Had a spell not offering real ale but since May 2021 has been serving Kibble brewery beers which are brewed in a former stable block in the car park. The owner/brewer is a former miner which explains the Kibble name. Beers are often named after coal seams. A kibble is a big bucket used in pit shafts and the owner reckoned the mash tun (which came from the now-closed Hamelsworde brewery) looks like one. The pubs offers three permanent beers along with seasonal brews. Summer Pub of the Season Award from Barnsley CAMRA for 2017.

Large split level open plan pub on the busy A61. The pub reverting to its original Red Lion a few years back. There is a large drinking area in front of the bar with the rest of the pub, including two conservatory extensions, given over to dining. The interior is tastefully decorated in shades of grey and cream, offset by patches of bold red and gold wallpaper. The mix of different chairs also adds interest. New owners are welcoming walkers and dog owners with a sign saying "muddy boots and paws welcome". Convenient for Worsbrough Mill and Country Park.

This handsome inter-war pub had stood empty for five years before reopening in February 2024 after an excellent refurbishment - this also saw the return of real ale after many years. The interior basically comprises three large, big-windowed alcoves with further seating around the central bar. Period features like leaded windows and ceiling beams combine well with more contemporary elements. The Ship operates very much as a traditional community wet-led pub and is all the better for that.
