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
The Big Tree is a great place with a great atmosphere, despite all the horror stories that it had been renowned for. I have attended there on the odd occasion since I was younger and have always felt welcome by all the staff employed there.
My friends and I mostly took pleasure in dining there due to the really cheap menu and high standard of cuisine. It also has a pool table and regularly screens the Premiership football matches of the weekend, or if you're an avid Blades fan - Sheffield United matches (usually drawing in the Sheffield United fans of the surrounding area).
All in all it is great value for money and I would recommend paying it a visit.

A popular pub with good parking facilities and a great location. The home-cooked meals are excellent if you avoid the chips. It would be excellent if they changed their supplier and deep fat fryer.

I've been a fairly regular customer at the Benjamin Huntsman for at least five years, calling perhaps a couple of times a month; being able to choose from a wide range of real ales, at low prices is rare, and that's what attracts me to the pub.
However, on Sunday 28 October 2007 I called in on my own at around 1PM. Over the following two hours I probably had three or four pints, didn't talk to anyone, in fact never said a word, except "pint of Abbot please". I guess I probably made my way up and down the two flights of stairs a couple of times (without incidence) during that time, but on approaching the bar for another pint, a female member of staff refused to serve me because I was "drunk".
I'm 42 and been drinking beer since being 18 years old, and never been refused a drink for appearing drunk. It's left me bewildered and wondering how someone who is on their own, not talking to anyone, not being obnoxious, falling into people etc..., can be considered bad custom.
I suppose I'll never find out, but it makes me apprehensive about going there again.

The Lescar is dead, long live the Lescar.
After many, many years of serving the locals great hospitality they have been closed down to be refurbished into yet another bistro style pub with no character.
Such a shame as it was one of the best of the true pubs left in the area.
The last night was great fun and we all wish Duncan and Helen all the best in the future.
- Darren,
A fantastic range of excellent beers, both from the pump and bottled. Good wines, the best fruit juices and good 'stick to your ribs' home cooked food. Also live music regularly, a relaxed atmosphere and not packed with (gorgeous though they are) young things: what more could a lady of a certain age ask from her local?
- Jeannie,
Great pub, great beer, great people! This pub is the perfect place to enjoy a variety of ales and continental beers if you want to avoid the hustle and bustle of a large pub. Think scaled-down Devonshire Cat but with more charm. Ten on Ten.
- Andrew Thompson,
The Greyhound is a traditional pub in need of a little TLC. It no longer sells real ale and has an older clientele, with few youngsters. There is no juke box and little trouble.
- R Myers,
What has happened to the Red Deer off Mappin Street? I have used it for years and it has always been a haven in the city centre - lively with people but no music blasting out. Great beers and good staff.
However, the last few times we have been in most of the beers have been off. This spans a period of at least 9 months. On Saturday, out of a choice of 6 beers only 3 were available at the start of the evening - and by the end there was only one!
They may have given the walls a lick of paint and re-covered the seats but it's the beer at the end of the day that makes this type of pub special!
- Jackie Hill,
Very good food and efficient staff. The restaurant part has been altered sympathetically and has a really nice relaxed feel to it. We really like it.
The only comment we have, and we have been twice in the past month, is that you are not encouraged to stay behind for a drink, even to the extent of the floor being mopped and chairs put on tables well before 11PM, which is a shame but we now walk down to the Crown, so you gain some and lose some!
- Marilyn Badger and friends,
Very disappointing. On arrival it took nearly 10 minutes to get a drink then when we ordered we where told it there would be a 40 minute delay. No problem, but after an hour there was still no food and when we enquired we were told that it would be another 5 minutes.
I can accept a delay but it is the fact that no one has the decency to advise you or apologise. Have they not heard of customer service?
