I visited with friends last night. One of my friends ordered a pizza, which was never received. When this was raised with staff after waiting over 45 minutes, the response was that it had been given out (obviously to the wrong person), and that a replacement pizza would be provided.
After another wait of 45 minutes the pizza finally arrived, but only after staff were reminded again. This whole delay made us all late for an event we were working at. When we complained about this poor service we were accused of having had the original pizza and made to feel like liars who had tried to get a free pizza.
I would add that the pizza, when it arrived, was a rip-off, a pathetic effort with hardly any toppings, for which they were charging £1 per topping.
We will not be returning to eat here again.

There is a big sign outside saying "No.1 Gastro Pub Sheffield". Well the person who wrote that needs to get out more. They could even go around the corner to the Cricket Inn.
What dire food. We had the catch sharing plate, which was described as good for four but ample for two.
One half-slice brown bread, four undercooked frozen prawns, big pile overdone old whitebait - rank, eight mussels, one small soft shell crab, fritters we assumed were polenta, and one 2cm-squared bit of cauliflower.
Now assume there are four of you. You are obviously going to fight over the piece of cauliflower. Also you will fight after tasting them over who will have to eat the whitebait.
There were only two of us. We went home hungry but laughing about the half-slice of bread on the sharing plate.
Do not go here it is awful.

The Wellington is a friendly pub with always a good range of guest ales & beers brewed on site & I've never had a bad drink here yet.
Anyone who appreciates real ale needs to visit the Wellington.
Re: comments posted on 24th August 2015 from the lager drinker moaning about no lagers being served here, this is a "real ale" pub - geddit?
Suggest you find a nice pub up West Street where you can pay £4 a pint if you want!
- Andy Hoole,
My girlfriend and I have eaten here several times. Always found the food to be good and reasonably priced. There can be a bit of a wait for food but this is usually because it's busy. Would rate 4/5.

We went into the Yellow Lion at Aston tonight, thinking of having a meal in our local. Nice and easy to get to, no car required.
Mistake or what! The place was overrun with kids for a start. I've got nothing against kids in the right place, but playing with everything in sight in an eating area is not the right place.
We ordered drinks and a meal. 10 minutes later no drinks appeared. We were told they would be here soon. The waitress was taking more notice of the kids. 10 minutes more, no drinks.
While we were waiting, the chef came outside. He had a towel over his shoulder. I don't know what colour that towel was supposed to be, but it was filthy grey. Not just food spills, but you would have thought he had cleaned the floor with it.
Temper getting up, we decides this was not the place for a nice Saturday night drink and a meal. We cancelled and went to Elmwood Farm.
Two weeks ago this was not the case, so what happened?
- Ann Poulter,
Obviously good ale... but this pub serves food AND allows dogs into the bar and onto the seats. Disgusting!
- Kenny,
Went in and tried to get a drink but they didn't actually sell anything I wanted to drink. Went out and drank 6 pints elsewhere. I only wanted lager, which I have drunk in millions of pubs over the last 30-odd years.
- Paul,
The whole place could do with a refurb and the staff need to smarten up.
Standard pub grub... chips and peas with everything, but well presented, with average portions. Friendly staff serving mid-priced food. Good tasting food with real chips.
- Joan Powell,
Well we have just had the WORST sandwich and coffee at the Strines!
The bread was stale... hard... awful, and the so-called salad was just a mess of anything raw they must have had in their fridge... AWFUL AWFUL...
The coffee was cold after taking an age to make. The bar staff and servers should look for other jobs, as they obviously don't like working here... We did wonder why it was quiet here when every other pub we passed was busy, but I guess we now know and certainly my will not pay good money out here again for the awful food we had. And will certainly not recommend this to anyone else... This was supposed to be a birthday "treat" but was anything but!
- Angela Raynor,
Had a very tasty pub lunch at Holly Bush Inn today. Beautiful creamy chicken & ham pie with flaky pastry & hand-cut chips. Followed by a delicious apple crumble, big pieces of apple & yummy custard, best I've had in years. Would thoroughly recommend this place for a decent meal.
