The Devonshire Arms pub is located at Herries Road in Shirecliffe.
A popular Sheffield pub has closed its doors temporarily while a major refurbishment takes place.
Pub company and brewery Greene King has confirmed that the Devonshire Arms on Herries Road shut on 2nd March so work can begin on a significant upgrade.
The company says it will be investing a six-figure sum into the refurbishment. The improvements will cover both the interior and exterior of the pub.
Greene King said the aim of the project is to refresh the venue while keeping the feel of a traditional pub. The refurbishment is also intended to add modern comforts for customers.
In a statement, the company said the investment will create a space that continues to serve a wide range of visitors. These include families, groups of friends and sports fans. Plans include best-in-class sports viewing and food and drink options designed to suit different occasions, from a quick drink to watching live matches or enjoying a meal out.
The Devonshire Arms is expected to reopen later in March. However, Greene King has not yet announced an exact reopening date.

My partner and I took his son for tea today and it was shocking. They had an all day breakfast that was under-cooked, bacon that was very fatty, the tomato was burnt, it was like it had been sat there all day. I had loaded chicken strips that had half the ingredients missing so I sent it back for it to come back. The chicken was reheated. It was terrible. The staff must have known I was not happy, as they never cleared the table afterwards.
Then the kitchen shut at 6PM when it should have been later, and staff put a sign up at 6:40PM saying that the kitchen was shut a bit late.
And to top it off the ladies' toilets were minging. The sinks had not been cleaned and the hot water taps did not work.
I would not recommend that place to anyone. Terrible!

This pub is a disgrace to Greene King. I've been today with my family to have something to eat, this was at 3 o'clock. We ordered our food at 3:10 and got told an half hour wait. That's OK but at 4 o'clock we were still waiting. That's shocking.
My partner went to ask what was going on with the food and he got abuse from the landlady and landlord plus the staff. At 4:25 no food, no explanation, nothing. We asked for a refund. Insults again. That's not on. A couple of people had left previously because of the staff attitudes. The attitude we got was shocking. It's like me an my family didn't matter.
I hope the people who own Greene King read this and realise what people they have running and working for them. I hope they get in touch with me to explain their actions in treating me and my family like that.

What a great local. Food is fabulous. Very reasonably priced and the staff are very welcoming. This is definitely our favourite place to eat now.

Not as clean as it use to be. Seems to be a lot of trouble.
