Went to the sheffield arms for a meal table of 9. On arrival shown to our table and had to go to the bar to order drinks, which was very slow service. Table was booked for 1pm we arrived at 12.45 ordered food at 12.55 food came out at 1.50pm. Out of 9 of us 6 enjoyed their meals. One had a carvery although very tasty the gravy was lumpy and the food was warm i would like to think it would be hotter than it was. No mushy peas for fish and chips, No Parmesan cheese for carbonara and instead of served with garlic bread was given garlic nann bread. Strange but ok! The burger was dry. Limited sauces and staff seemed very unorganised. The decor and restaurant itself was lovely and the staff seem friendly enough although not confident in their roles. I would personally like to see a bit more confidence in the young staff be more pro active at taking orders and asking if anyone would like drinks etc. no one asked if the food was ok? And no manners when paying slightly socially awkward. They have a really good set up in such a lovely pub but the service does let them down. I am not writing this review to be negative because i would like to say i would go again i am purely writing this review in hope they take my comments on board to improve on their faults. I wish you all the best going forward in...
Read moreI'm only going to review the food and access to the bar. My wife and I choose to go here having heard the food was good. Phoned ahead and booked table for lunch expressly said 1 in wheelchair. Directed to rear car park (only one and small) for access to building down a ramp. Great arrived and could not get in because even though a ramp to get you to rear door there is a large step at door ok for manual wheelchairs but no good for electric. We could not access and went to leave. Told access from front was possible down alley to right of from facade but not back. So travelled to front down alley to side door. This had a raised threshold to cross but made it.
Now onto carvey there was plenty of choice and I had some of each. Unlike most carveries you can go back again and refill your plates. Food was fine the biggest issue was it was not very warm at all which spoilt the occasion for us.
Overall access poor food not hot. Service was great nothing too much trouble. If carvery was hotter it would have great. But go and have a try just don't visit with an...
Read moreA first visit to this local pub just for food not accommodation, first impressions are good, it's a big old building that is kept in good order , parking is around the back which is well lit and tidy. Inside the pub its cosy & welcoming a couple of electric fires to give an impression of a real coal fire which would be nice, as its such a traditional interior, a Scottish tartan plaid wall paper , pictures of deer on table place mats gives a country feel to the place , so the menu is nice & small with a good choice of homemade pies , burgers , chicken ,and some veggie options , they also have a nice carvery with 4 different meats good selection of vegetables which all looked very fresh. I went specifically for the mince beef suet pie but they don't make them any longer for the daily menu which has not been removed , but they still have it only on the Sunday carvery as an option. The selection of drinks are good lots on draught to choose from or non alcoholic choices too , food is traditional in nature but good ,...
