The Closed Shop — Restaurant in Sheffield

What absolutely, unbelievably fantastic food! Visited on Sunday with family who were visiting and I can not praise the place enough. Friendly service from walking through the door to leaving. The Sunday lunches are something else and I thought the roasted leg of lamb was the best till I tried someone's brisket! Then again i thought those little pots of cauliflower cheese were just stunning, only to be blown away by the honey glazed roasted carrots! As you can imagine my family are going to visit more often if I promise to take them back. Which means I must go every week on a different day and continue tasting this chefs superb food! Brilliant staff, great venue and sublime food and all for an unbelievable Yorkshire value price! Did I mention the seabass and vegan options looked just as amazing when I spotted them being whisked to other diners, I might even give that vegan Wellington a try next time! Aaaaand I went back January 2024 and it was just as fantastic! Now going to dream of the chicken wings and...

We went as a party of 4 for after work drinks and a meal, we have been several times before. We noticed on this occasion the menu was now an al a Carte menu, a bit more expensive but we ordered 4 meals, plus a bowl of chips with cheese for sharing. After half an hour the waiter came to tell us that the chef had refused to put cheese on our chips, after some discussion we cancelled the order. We could not believe a pub would not grate cheese on a bowl of chips! After all this is a pub and not a resturant. The bar staff said they were trying to 'move away' from pub food and that cheese on chips may lead to chip butties, cheese on toast etc (gateway meal?). The people next to us were also disgusted and then left, they would rather lose money than serve chips.....with cheese. We have been many times to this pub, I just can't believe this. It makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. Not again, I will go to a pub that serves real and honest pub food, if I want a resturant, I will go to...

Popped into The Closed Shop the other day, and it’s safe to say I’ll be back. From the moment you walk in, you get that welcoming, friendly vibe that’s perfect for a catch-up with mates or just a chilled evening.

I had the fish and chips, and honestly, it was spot on. The fish was crispy, the chips were proper chunky, and even the mushy peas were great – and I’m not usually a fan! They were just the right balance of flavour and texture, adding a bit extra to the whole dish. Everything was fresh and full of flavour, proper comfort food done right. The menu’s got a great range as well, so there’s something for everyone.

Drinks-wise, they’ve got a cracking selection of local ales and craft beers, along with a good variety of wines and cocktails. The staff were bang on too – friendly and quick to help with recommendations.

All in all it's a cracking little pub. Great food, good atmosphere, and a proper warm welcome. Can’t go...
