Armstrongs, owned by Robert and Elizabeth Crookes, is housed in a Victorian house in the outskirts of Barnsley - a bit of a gastronomic desert otherwise - and serves modern British food with a slight touch of a European influence.
Robert does the cooking and everything is prepared on the premises including a good selection of breads, ice creams, sorbets and petits fours. The service is most professional, the waitresses wear white gloves, a charming old-fashioned touch, whilst being both welcoming and friendly.
He offers starters like tempura of monkfish with sweet chili sauce and crème fraiche or grilled chevre and parma ham salad served with roast peppers, basil oil and balsamic, followed possibly by roast chicken breast with spaghetti vegetables layered on red onion tarte tatin with red wine sauce; honey-glazed lamb shank served with baby vegetables and red-currant jus; or roast fillet of salmon served with stir-fried bok choi, ginger and soy
