The Golden Ball in Rotherham

Oh, The Golden Ball is one of those pubs that just hits the spot for a relaxed day out in the Yorkshire countryside – you can picture yourself there with a pint in hand, enjoying the fresh air after a good walk. From what I've gathered from the buzz around it, the food really steals the show; think tender Sunday roasts with a variety of meats or specials like rib eye steak and lamb shank that folks rave about, all served up with that classic country pub charm. The team behind the bar and in the kitchen are an absolute treat, always on hand with a smile and quick to make you feel at ease, whether it's for a quick drink or a full meal. It's got this inviting garden for soaking up the sun and cosy spots by the fire for when the weather turns, making it a versatile spot for any outing. On the downside, there have been a couple of grumbles about the app for ordering not always playing ball, which could be a minor frustration if you're relying on it, and one person mentioned a dessert portion being a bit on the meagre side. Still, with such high praise overall and a solid 4.3 rating from the crowd, it's clear this place knows how to deliver a good time – I'd say it's well worth a visit if you're after a proper pub experience without the fuss.
