Story Teller in Rotherham

Ah, the Story Teller – it's one of those reliable locals that you end up returning to for a good feed and a catch-up. I have to say, their carvery really shines on a good day; picture tucking into those 14-hour slow-cooked meats that are moist and packed with taste, paired with fresh veg and a generous dollop of gravy – it's just the ticket for a Sunday roast. The staff are an absolute gem, always cheerful and attentive, which makes the whole experience feel warm and inviting, especially if you're with the family. They've got loads of nice touches too, like the beer garden for a sunny pint or the soft play for the little ones, and it's dead handy being right by the retail park with easy parking. On the downside, though, I've heard a few mates mention that the sides can let the side down sometimes – think greasy roasties or fatty gammon that doesn't quite hit the mark – and the place does have that worn-around-the-edges feel in spots, which might put you off if you're after something a bit more polished. Still, for a budget-friendly night out or a quick meal, it's worth giving it a go; just keep your expectations realistic and you'll likely have a cracking time.
