Rockingham Arms, Wentworthback to pub details please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
Visited this pub again and having read my previous comments, thought I could add a suitable update. The pub is the same, particularly good sat outside in summer, but this time we had a meal. They offer good value food, albeit from a standard menu (as this is part of the Good Night Inns chain). They offer both normal bar meals, but also food from a two for �9 offer. Although this wasn't fantastic, it was certainly decent value and I had no complaints. Beer wise, two of the same beers were available, however they were now down to three, with another beer from the nearby brewery at Wentworth on offer - again this could be improved. This is an old 'country pub' that has lost a bit of its charm due to the amount of commercialised signs urging you to buy meals etc - a shame, but at least it's open, which these days, is a bonus.

Nice looking pub in a very nice village setting on the edge of Rotherham. Great to sit outside in the summer, either in the beer garden to the rear or overlooking the bowling green to the side and equally good to be inside next to the fire during the winter months. Visited this week to find real ales on offer including Black Sheep, Theakstons Old Peculier, Wentworth WPA and Timothy Taylors Landlord. A fair choice, but a little too reliant on 'common' beers for me - Nothing to fault really with this pub, its traditional and has a number of little side rooms making it a cosy retreat, but if I was choosing to be a little picky, it could be improved by a better choice of ales from micro-breweries. Worth a visit if you are in the area.

Nicely appointed interior with a good selection of well-kept ales. Parts of the pub are untouched by time (built 1814). Note the old bank of wine taps in the snug. Enjoy the roaring fire in Winter and in Summer, relax facing the bowling green amongst the trees and admire the ivy-clad walls.
