Party-goers can hit the town and sip on a choice of drinks, dancing the night away at a bar situated in a 19th-century building
A potentially OK pub, spoiled for us by an unfriendly atmosphere. The beer, decor etc... is OK, the jukebox is sometimes a bit loud. But mainly we had an unpleasant experience and weren't made to feel welcome.
Ironically I had suggested it for a meeting with three colleagues. They bought their pints. I don't drink, and I don't like soft drinks. With everyone at the table drinking but me the landlady came over and had a go at me in front of the whole group for being there without buying a drink. Quite bizarre.
I have never been treated like that in a pub. Always been made welcome before, and often (as designated driver) offered free soft drinks. What a weird and unpleasant experience. Way to go to make a whole group of people uncomfortable with drinking in your pub. Four customers lost forever!
So if you have a non-drinker in your group just be aware the landlady might try to single out and have a go at them.

If you visit this pub don't expect to be served without first having to wait until either of the two young staff have finished using their phones. One male one female.
Secondly, don't interrupt them when they are on their phones, as this is met with utter contempt.
Thirdly, you may have to wait if they are having a tiff and/or kissing and hugging behind the bar. I made the mistake of telling the young female that someone was waiting to be served when she was either texting or playing a game. This situation, which is know one of many I have witnessed, was acknowledged with complete derision. I was made to feel as if I was being troublesome. The young male laughing behind my back, as witnessed by my wife, and the female continuing to use her phone.

We went on Tuesday 25th March. Could not fault the food or service. My Mum is 91 and a fussy eater. They could not do enough to make sure she got what she wanted. Well done.

Patronising & rude bar staff. Had the cheek to sell Guinness hats for £5 each on St Paddy's day (these hats are, and should be, free). Have been going in for years, but will never go in again until there is a change in landlord/landlady.
They have no respect for the elderly Irish community in Sheffield.
- Seamus,
Happened to find this gem of a public house and restaurant on the way home. We received a warm welcome and decided to have a meal.
The lounge was full. And what a treat, the meal was excellent. We all really enjoyed it plus the real ales.
Wished we lived nearer, as would be a local, but we will go out of our way to eat here again.
Thanks, Ruth, Bob, Jan and Steve.

We rang the pub up at short notice for all our family members to have a meal. We gave them about 20 minutes before we all got there. We had at least 30 people including children and they let us all eat in the barn function room at no extra cost.
Food was excellent, service was excellent room, was laid out in such short notice. Staff friendly, atmosphere great.
All the children played in the garden after the meal - they loved the chickens running around. All family members enjoyed it and the food. We all had a nice day out, a get together for brother in-law's birthday.
Would recommend and will use again.

Visited Sunday 2nd march with my sister, my niece and her daughter.
Had Sunday lunch of roast pork. Very enjoyable and the serving was plenty, the service was pretty fast and not expensive. Had apple pie and custard afterwards.
Although not not many in, it was nice compared to some places where there can be too many people.
Local and would go again, very friendly.
- Derek Leigh,
We have just had two burgers. Extremely poor value, the burger had clearly been cooked and reheated, making it dry and rubbery, and likewise the frozen chips had been cooked several hours ago.
When we complained the waitress didn't seem bothered, eventually offering us either a tea/coffee or ice cream, both of which were declined. To compound the issue the landlady, who was swanning around, obviously didn't care about customer satisfaction, as she never bothered to even come across to apologise (the pub was virtually empty, which says a lot).
We live local but will not be visiting again. It has certainly gone downhill since the previous owners.
Never thought I would say it but would rather go to McDonald's. Better value and they taste better!
- Lee Andrews,
We called in and found a warm welcome, really tasty and well-prepared food, friendly service and great real ale. Well worth trying.
- Keith & Sally Stewart,
Had a lovely large beef Sunday lunch and my wife had a small pork lunch. Was very nice. Couldn't fault the dessert menu, as you had loads to choose from.
Will be returning in the near future to try your two for five pound meals.
Many thanks, Dennis and Jayne.
