The Red Lion provided us with a fabulous buffet with superb service for my father's funeral. Great value for money. Would certainly recommend.
- Julie Brown,
Fantastic little boozer. Customers are so friendly and staff are great.
- Donna Aspin,
Just returned home from having a meal at the Sherwood and am very disappointed. Had a big plate gammon with 3 pieces of gammon and all 3 were not cooked so just left it, as no one came to ask if the food was OK. Been going there for many years for food and always enjoyed it but afraid we won't be going again in a hurry.
- Mick Thomas,
Absolutely dreadful place. The landlord himself is pleasant. However, he has family members working there, together with family who drink there, who are absolutely horrible and insulting towards guests. The father who drinks there is bordering alcohol dependant and when intoxicated is aggressive and rude to guests, to which the landlord accepts. Avoid at all cost.

Don't know what's happening there. Had many good meals there until recently.
Met with friends last week for a meal. Told meals were available until 7pm. At 6:30pm we went to order, only to be told that the chef had gone home! Ended up having fish and chips from local chippie sat outside in the rain!
Then today, met a friend who I only see once a year at the Sportsman and it was closed at 12pm even though the website said open at 12. We sat outside in the smoking area covered in broken glass and ringing their phone to see if anyone answered. No answer and no lights on. People were trying the door and walking away. So we ended up walking down to the Cross Scythes, Derbyshire Lane, and had a beautiful meal!
Bye bye Sportsman, you've lost 6 regular customers!
- Louise Bradley,
Funeral party held on July 19th at The Old Red Lion, Grenoside. Thank you for making everything run smoothly. The selection of food was very good and the hot chips were lovely. A big thank you to all the staff - very friendly and helpful. I would certainly recommend.
- Gloria Taylor,
From the moment I walked in I was felt like an outsider, as I have not been here before. I was stared at and looked at like a piece of dirt. You say "warm welcome" on the side; maybe you should change it to "cold shoulder".
- Kevin Pope,
Just been to this pub. Waited to be served, people just walking in the pub I was totally ignored. I was before them. It kept going on like this so walked out and went elsewhere. Will not be going back and I will tell other people not to bother.
- Ray Smith,
Great place to eat, watch footy or a catch-up with friends or family. We were served by Dee, who was very helpful and friendly and made us feel really welcome. The meal was really lovely and great value for money, definitely worth a return visit.
- Russ Neil,
With the weather being wonderful today we decided to meet some friends to celebrate a birthday at The New Inn.
While there, the kids were playing lovely on the swings. Another child walked in front of the swing and was accidentally knocked (she wasn't hurt in any way), which resulted in me and a friend being approached by a very intimidating intoxicated member of staff who admitted this said child wasn't hers and had been hit by my child! She was informed by my child and other witnesses that it was an accident, yet she proceeded to tell anyone that bothered to listen that there had been a "scuffle" between the children. Yet she hadn't seen anything, as she told me that!
The way this lady approached us was absolutely disgusting and the way she carried it on was disgraceful. If you have members of staff who behave like that and cannot even stand still (because of the bottles of wine they was drinking plus whatever she was topping it up with - yes I could see) when working and condone this behaviour is ridiculous.
Put it this way you have lost very good customers!
