3 great spots for a cup of tea in Barnsley

Enjoy the perfect cuppa the next time you’re out and about in Barnsley; these are some of our personal favourite places to grab a spot of tea and a bite to eat.

Twisted Teapot

A quintessentially British tearoom, Twisted Teapot was featured as one of nine best quirky afternoon teas in Yorkshire, with bookcase wallpaper, opulent golden frames and vintage decorations. The interior is truly impressive, largely taking inspiration from some of Britain’s best children’s classic literature, such as; Harry Potter, Alice in Wonderland, and The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe.

Take a walk down memory lane and pay a visit to this local treasure!

PJ's Café and Bistro

PJ’s is a large, family friendly café that offers indoor and outdoor seating. Although not as unique as the Twisted Teapot, PJ’s is a modern, accessible café located in the heart of Barnsley – ideal for visiting after a day of shopping.

Described as a ‘little gem’ by its visitors, it’s certainly not one to miss!

Cawthorne Village Store and Tearoom

Located in the picturesque village of Cawthorne, just outside of Barnsley, this friendly family-run business ‘prides itself on offering a friendly and personal service with a traditional touch’, an ethos we share here at Home Instead.

In contrast to the buzzing atmosphere of PJ’s, Cawthorne Village Store and Tearoom’s customers enjoy their afternoon tea in the company of a stunning, tranquil view of the Cawthorne Woodlands. This hidden treasure truly does prove to be the perfect day out, with plenty to offer from fresh food, dried goods, local produce, plants and pottery.
