Why Visit Our Little Happy Place?
Nestled within the beautiful Walled Gardens at Cannon Hall Museum, Park and Gardens, The Pear Tree Pantry is much more than just a café – it's a destination. Whether you're looking for great coffee, homemade food, a family day out, or a peaceful place to relax, you'll find it here in one of Barnsley's most beautiful settings.
Enjoy a freshly brewed cup of Forged Coffee, tuck into our delicious homemade cakes, light lunches and seasonal specials, and take in the stunning surroundings steeped in local history. As you wander through the gardens, you'll discover fascinating plaques sharing stories about Cannon Hall, the Walled Gardens and the incredible wildlife that thrives here.
There's plenty of magic for little explorers too. From impressive wicker dragon sculptures and mythical creatures such as giant mermaids and seahorses, to enchanting fairy ponds where tiny hidden wire fairies wait to be spotted amongst the trees, every visit brings something new to discover.
The grounds are also home to an abundance of wildlife. Our crown jewel has to be the kingfishers that frequent the lakeside. If you're lucky, you may catch a glimpse of their stunning electric-blue feathers as they dart across the water.
We're proud to be one of the most dog-friendly cafés in Barnsley, welcoming your four-legged friends with open arms. From luxury dog sausages to dog-friendly ice cream, there's plenty for your canine companions to enjoy after a walk around the grounds.
As an independent local café, every visit makes a real difference. By choosing The Pear Tree Pantry, you're supporting a Barnsley business that is passionate about great food, excellent coffee, friendly service and being part of our local community. We genuinely appreciate every customer who walks through our doors.
We're open 7 days a week from 9am until 5pm, with last food orders at 4:45pm.
So, if you're looking for one of the best cafés in Barnsley, a family-friendly day out in South Yorkshire, a dog-friendly café near Cannon Hall, or simply somewhere special to enjoy quality food and coffee, we'd love to welcome you to The Pear Tree Pantry.
