Proud Potato — Restaurant in Sheffield

The food here used to be superb when the original owner had it.

It has swapped hands a few times since then and the food quality isn't what it was.

The 3 things of note:

The white cheese used to be really strong and fine, it is now factory grated flavourless cheese.

The chilli used to be really spicy and really high quality, it is now not spicy [that makes it bolognaise-get some chill whacked in!] and get back to using the better mince.

They used to spend a while mashing the butter into the potato which isn't done any more.

It is these little attention to detail that set is apart and mad the price tag worth paying.

It is a shame as we used to go 2-3 times a month, but unless some changes are made I don't think we will be using it...

We just had 2 potatoes for tea & very disappointed yet again that after 3rd time in last couple of months I feel I need to leave a review. We have always been pleased with potatoes from here, lovely big hot & ample toppings but unfortunately this has gone down hill. The last 3 times have been small shrivelled hard & burnt skins with very little topping. I gave it the benefit of doubt to try again thinking it was a 1 off but no yet again another hard shrivelled potato. Decided to try again & disappointed yet again even the carton it came in was smaller, small hard cold shrivelled burnt potato & a small blob of topping sorry to say that's my last potato...

After reading the previous 1* reviews I thought I was about to make a huge mistake suggesting Proud Potato as a quick tea but am pleased to say they are very misleading. I bought 3 large spuds, two cheese and chilli and one tuna mayo and cheese, all the spuds were large and cooked to perfection, fluffy moist potato inside and crispy well cooked skins on the outside. There was ample filling in all 3 and no complaints from my family. Will definitely go back again. ...
