Review A Pub
The views and opinions expressed below are those of the reviewer and are not endorsed or necessarily shared by Sheffield Pub Guide.
 Tried to take 6 students who were doing a presentation for my company in to this pub at 12PM. All were wearing suits as I was. The attitude of the "punk" on the door was a credit to the early rock culture, I was surprised he didn't spit! The girl he was chatting to was more interesting than the 7 clients. He told us to wait 4 hours until he let us in or until it was 12pm by his phone. We humoured him for 4 minutes whilst we stood outside talking.
In the end we went down the road for 7 meals and 7 rounds and had a great time! I as a 50+ customer in smart attire do not expect to be treated as a low life idiot, by a throw back punk with an attitude as backward as the hair cut.
Great way to introduce Sheffield to a visitor and embarrass 6 regulars well done.

Things are looking up for the Red Deer.
Andy, from The Cobden View at Crookes will be running the business for Sam & Simon who have moved on to other things, down South.
I am sure the original atmosphere will be re-captured if the Cobden View is anything to go by, where you never get served an off pint, there is always a wide selection of beers. There won't be a chance of the Red Deer running out of beer again if its run like the Cobden.
I am sure we will see changes pretty soon, and I look forward to visiting it again!

Food was OK. Manager was helpful, but some of the young staff were rude, unhelpful and surly, and certainly need some training in customer-care! They also need to do a stock-check more often - various condiments, including salt (somewhat basic!), not available when we asked.
Mint ice-cream bombe delivered instead of the ordered chocolate one. Explanation as it was banged down on the table? "That's all we've got".
Will we go again to Rawson Spring? Well, not to eat, anyway. I'd rather try other Wetherspoon's in Sheffield. It's a pity, because the pub is OK, but friendly and helpful staff would make it a much more pleasant venue.

Came in for some lunch before the snooker and it seems a nice place. Nice bar and decor, food was OK but not special for the price. Staff seemed a bit lazy - chatting instead of cleaning tables - but they can't be perfect can they? My score, 6 out of 10.

I used to visit this pub regular when the pub was in its hey day so decided to pop in the other day when I heard that a new landlord was taken it on.
I found the new landlord to be a very friendly man who made me feel very welcome and the beer tasted great. I enjoyed a good night and the DJ and karaoke was good fun.
One downside pub just in need of a bit of redecoration but landlord informed me that the pub is being done pretty soon.

This pub used to be really excellent, with warm friendly lighting, and is still good in terms of the real ales, comfortable settees, wooden panels, and beer garden.
However, recently some changes have been made that are clearly a step in the wrong direction.
When last I visited (2 weeks ago) it had changed in a most unpleasant manner. The lighting was bright and harsh blue-ish white in colour, reminiscent of a police line up.
We did find one snug bit in a corner and sat down, only to find a gigantic TV screen descending onto our heads.
It's such a shame to see a beautiful old-fashioned pub like this being turned into yet another noisy sports pub with tasteless lighting and bright white walls.
I can see that there is a laudable attempt to use low energy lighting, but I would suggest to the owners that they might invest in some lampshades to mute this harsh colour. Fluorescent lighting has no charm at all.

I echo the last comment. I have also been going for years, but lately the beer prices have gone up, and the quality has gone down, and that's when they have any on.
Taylor's Landlord seems a distant memory - its never available, and last Wednesday the pub ran out of beer. Oh dear, Red Deer on the way out.
Well the owners seem to have lost interest so why shouldn't the customers? Reminds one of the lament of the old Hallamshire, the Bee Hive, and Hornblower. All alas no more.

After reading about the high recommendation about this pub I decided to give it a whirl.
As for the landlord always smiling, I have never met such a miserable person in my life. As for the place being clean, the place is dirty and cold. The other review says this a small pub with high prices and I must agree - it is very expensive.
The few customers that do go in seem very pleasant but I cannot understand why they keep going in, as the landlord is so ignorant and as soon as he serves you he just wants to sit down and go to sleep. It seems like he does not want customers, so I will oblige him with that by not returning.

Had a fantastic evening here on Saturday, March 29th. The food was excellent - we had followed the owners from the Nag's Head where we had a similarly excellent evening a few months before.
Could not have been friendlier - a real pub, not a chain full of people who don't care, but a genuine family affair with the atmosphere you dream of!
Food was excellent - exceptional value (10 of us with desserts came to £70), terrific location, bus stop just opposite so no need to worry about driving.
Thanks guys for a great time!

Probably the worst food I have eaten. I ordered salmon, which came battered like fish fingers, limp salad, tasteless, no wonder the place was empty, and it was a Bank Holiday! My friend's chicken was no better.
