A micropub carved out of the old tap room of the Potters Wheel on the parade at Clough Fields Road, so it is a small single space rather than the sprawling estate pub it used to be. One cask line, a keg range and pizzas, with a garden and its own parking. Handy for a stop between Hoyland and the Elsecar valley. CAMRA's Barnsley branch surveyors record the pub as dog friendly; it publishes no dog policy of its own.
These are the parts only the business can add. We check the dog policy and stamp the date — photos, prices and their own words are theirs to put in, and this listing is waiting for them.
The fire, the snug, the water bowl by the door.
A few dishes and what they cost, so people arrive knowing.
Can the dog actually sleep here, and what does it cost.
Which rooms, which times, whether the whippet gets a biscuit.
Claiming fills every box above, and lets you reply to reviews when they open. £15 a month, no contract, and it never changes the verdict — the stamp stays ours.
A Craft Union pub on Market Street in the centre of Hoyland, listed by the operator as a dog friendly pub, with an outside area, sports screens and an accessible toilet. It is a drinking pub rather than a dining one, and there is no published detail on which rooms a dog may use, so ask at the bar. Elsecar Heritage Centre and the reservoir are about a mile down the hill, which makes this the nearest town centre pub to that walk.
A community pub at 30 Hoyland Road in Hoyland Common, on the road between the A6135 and Hoyland town centre. Craft Union lists it among its dog friendly pubs and keeps water bowls behind the bar; the operator's line is that everyone is welcome, paws and all. It is a drinking pub with pool tables, darts, live sport and a DJ at weekends rather than a food house. Wombwell Wood and Elsecar Reservoir are both within a couple of miles.
Nobody has written one for The Hoyland Tap. If you have been with the dog, you would be the first — and the first review is the one everybody reads.
