Incredibly rude staff. Allow children in, but when our little one was stood next to us while we were looking at the drinks on offer, he said in an aggressive manner that children were not allowed near the bar. Understandable, we moved as far away from the bar as possible so that we could actually still order a drink (it's not table service, it's bar service, so not quite sure how you can actually get a drink without leaving your children unsupervised, which I'm sure would also be frowned upon judging by their behaviour!) Didn't give us a second, he was snappy, he was short, he raised his voice. Shooed at my son like he was a dog. Plain rude. Had to explain to my three year old that he hadn't done anything wrong, he was upset asking why that man had shouted at him. We left and will not be back.

He felt you had shouted at him, which is a reflection of the unacceptable tone in which it was said since children take things at face value. You apologised to me outside when I pulled you up on your behaviour. Said you were hassled. To me that...
Read moreIt's been years since I've been here but always liked it. We ordered a gin & tonic expecting the Fever Tree clearly shown behind the bar. My partner turned away to have a look around to see how it's changed only to find my g&t being massacred by loads of syphoned tonic. The person had put so much in it had killed the drink. After I'd tried it my partner went back to complain & had to buy a replacement drink, this time with a decent tonic & one we could control how much was put in. His porter was fine and Guinness nice, but poor customer service means we...
Read moreThis is one of my favorite pubs in Sheffield "Sheffield's Real Notic Heritage Pubs" guide lists it as being on the Yorkshire Regional Inventory of Historic Pub Interiors as a pub with "some regional importance". The beer selection is always good, the food is great, and the staff is incredibly friendly. The layout is really interesting with a lot of individual rooms to sit in, but make sure to check out the small central room with the fireplace. They also have special events most days like trivia on Tuesday and video games/board games night...
