The Old Grindstone — Restaurant in Sheffield

If you're coming to the Grindstone for drinks, I'm sure you'll have a great time.

...but the food was beyond awful. I trusted it would be good thanks to it being a True North bar/kitchen and associated with the Broadfield. Wish I'd read the reviews before!

I booked for a table of 9. Got asked to send across our pre-orders ahead of time, as they wanted to ensure the kitchen would have everything in stock - perfect.

When we arrived, it was already the wrong number of people booked in for the festive platter - a sign of things to come...

Every single order had a missing element or something wrong. Literally every single one. Despite pre-ordering so the kitchen could be ready?

One person ordered a vegan chicken burger and got a real chicken burger and luckily they themselves realised - staff had no idea.

Everything was unbelievably oily and deep fried - I can't express how greasy every single aspect of the meal was.

One person ordered a box meal; everything was completely burnt and the donner meat in the meal resembled a deep-fried shoe sole.

To top it all off, of the 9 people, several of us have had upset stomachs today (the following day).

tl;dr Only eat at the Grindstone if you're looking to have a...

Great bar staff and good selection of drinks however food was awful. We were a table of 9 and were asked to preorder our meals as we were a large table and to ensure the kitchen had everything for our meal. However of the 9 people not 1 person got what they ordered as the kitchen had ran out so we all had something substituted or replaced and everything that did come was burnt dry and oily. They gave one member of our group a real chicken burger when they are vegan and pre-ordered the vegan burger (thankfully this person realised before eating). We all found the whole experience quite funny but still would not recommend anyone wasting their money on the food which everyone else in the pub seemed to know as we were the only table eating. After the meal we ended to walking to The York and all of us were complaining about stomach pains and several members of the group are still feeling off today from it. So learn from us go for the drinks not...

scruffy and dark looked like there was mould on the support Beam the managers kids run all over the place in roller skates people bring smelly dogs this pub gose more down hill ever time a new manager comes in the bathroom is out dated and smells food is all microwaved and this is something iv seen it's either microwaved or deep fat fried everthing is frozzen food but the salerd its located into the biggest student areas and it's the most disgusting grotty pubs located Crookes and Broomhill area which I have had the unfortunate pleasure of going to not only that most of the time you can't get served if the manager is on at night because they are drinking and chatting on top of all this year then happen to pay high prices for non-alcoholic and alcoholic drinks wich just add more salt to the wound I would never recommend eating her or drinking her I'd recommend running...
