After dining at Estabulo around a month ago, we decided to come back with some friends as we'd spoke about it to them and highly recommended it.
We dined on Tuesday 27th August. We had came in the evening time and it was relatively busy. From entering the building to leaving, everything was perfect. Meats and salad were delicious as per last time, and the service never failed from any staff member.
The two gentlemen serving the meats were professional, polite and engaging, but not overbearing. A really good balance of coming to the table just enough but also knowing how and when to not disturb us to create the perfect experience.
As for the 2 members of staff, that remained front of house, a young man and woman. All they did was "run" back and forth, between tables, bar service, the reception. Even though the restaurant was packed (from what I could see) these 2 seemed to be smashing it, never faltering or missing anything. Usually with young staff you see them talking in groups or huddled in corners but not this team. Everyone was constantly busy, hitting the nail on the head every single time. This review seems a little long winded but thats because I left a review last time but Google says I can only leave 1 review so i wanted to make sure that this time round, I praise the team, the food and the restaurant as a whole and make sure that future diners know exactly what they're getting.
Our friends had not been before and the concept was explained wonderfully, someone in the table had a serious allergy and she is sometimes nervous or apprehensive about what she can eat however the manager (i assume) did his due diligence and explained how to view their allergen information online and even gave my friend a walk around tour of the salad bar showcasing the labels and how to read and understand the key for allergens. This is something that not every restaurant offers. Mostly they just throw a set menu at you with allergy advice, the time and consideration taken to ensure my friend was safe, knew what she can eat and still have the full experience is one of the reasons why I say this is one of the best restaurants in the town centre. The staff are young but clearly they care and know what they are doing.
I had noticed that this location is one of the cheaper ones for estabulo .... someone I know had visited the one in doncastr i believe and said the price was not worth it, I hope he comes here and sees the REAL estabulo experience. I would happily pay over £33 per meal at this location.
Thank you to the whole team for a...

Read moreAn Overall very impressive visit to Estabulo - Barnsley.
We visited 24/2/2024
We visited Estabulo - Barnsley mid afternoon on a Saturday without a reservation. We was promptly greeted at the “wait here to be seated desk” to be shown to a choice of tables. We was left to get settled and the waiter came back shortly after to take our drinks order.
Shortly after receiving our drinks we made our way to get a plate and head to the salad bar where a selection of fresh salad is available including, but not limited to: Salad, pasta, potato, coleslaw, chorizo, sweetcorn, bread etc all in abundance and seemingly fresh - cannot complain!
We then headed back to our table and turned our disks to the green side which means bring on the meat!
The servers were very attentive, offered fresh, hot cuts of meat and were very generous cuts - you can also ask for more if you wish!
On the menu was: Minted lamb Bottom Sirloin Brazilian Steak Chicken Thigh Garlic Bread
And definitely some more, but there’s so much offered it’s hard to remember.
Our waiter and waitresses made sure we was happy throughout our visit and make sure everything was in order and asked if we needed anything else.
After finishing our meals, we asked for our bill which was fetched promptly with a Coffee Tequila which finished off the meal nicely.
We paid up, had a quick chat with the staff and left after being thoroughly happy with our choice of restaurant.
The staff were amazing The food was amazing (both salad bar and meat) The restaurant was amazing The restaurant was immaculately clean The restaurant was impressively decorated The atmosphere was relaxing.
We will 100% be...
