The Stags Head — Restaurant in Sheffield

1st visit to this establishment as it was close to The Lantern Theatre and was perfect to sample both food and drinks before the performance that night. On entry, you felt a warmth about the place, and I was welcomed by the gentleman serving behind the bar. I had already viewed the wide selection of Thornbridge Brewery Beers available before making my choice... a lovely pale ale called 'Brother Rabbit'. Whilst the beer was being poured, I asked if food was still available at 3.15pm and was politely informed that I could order anything off the menu. I didn't want anything too substantial, so I chose the Ham & Cheese Toasted Sandwich with brown bread (white bread available, too) and a side portion of chunky chips. I was asked where I would like to sit, so as it was a sunny afternoon, I picked the conservatory at the side to sit and enjoy my pint and food when it was served. Having picked a table that would accommodate two people so as not to take up other bigger tables for more customers, I enjoyed the view outside were there was a children's play area along with other tables to accommodate customers who preferred the outdoor weather. I also noticed a food preparation area where a member of staff was throwing and preparing fresh pizza dough as well as turning pizzas in an oven next to him. After about 20 minutes had passed, my food order was delivered, and boy did it look delicious 😋 Two big slices of thickly toasted brown bread with melted cheese and slices of ham with a lovely pile of thick cut chips next to it. Delicious would be an understatement, and it was certainly substantial as well. I paid £10 for the toasted sandwich and chips and £4.50 for the pint of beer, which was tremendous value. The staff were first class with their friendly, polite, prompt, and attentive service throughout my visit. I can totally recommend The Stags Head as both a pub for real ale drinkers as well as those wishing to enjoy delicious food at tremendous value... You can bring your children too with a brilliant play area outside as well, so perfect for families as well. A 5 Star Pub...⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ and I would...

After moving our son into halls, we were exhausted, hungry and facing a four-hour drive home. The weather was dreadful—torrential rain made visibility poor, and we didn’t know the area well. We searched for somewhere to eat and found The Stags Head.

We arrived at 8:55 PM, soaked and tired, and asked at the bar if they were still serving food. The lovely barman advised they close the kitchen at 9pm and said he would check with the kitchen when he saw my younger two looking disappointed. He returned with a big smile—chef was happy to stay open. We were so grateful, and even more thrilled when the food arrived. It was absolutely amazing! Juicy, delicious burgers, crispy chips, and my eldest—who wasn’t even that hungry—devoured the fish and chips. The younger two had kids’ pasta and chicken strips, and the portions were impressively generous.

We were especially happy to enjoy a hearty meal before leaving our son to the student life of canned beans and instant noodles. The pub had a great atmosphere, full of students and locals, with a group playing darts.

Staff were friendly, polite, and welcoming. We’ll definitely be returning when we visit our son again. Thank you so much for accommodating us—it made all...

Great beer, Great food, outside garden split in two.. One end with kids play area other just benches. Service is good and the guys and girls are always friendly even when it's 3 deep at the bar on a bank holiday. Sunday roast is really good and I don't normally say that as I make a cracking one myself apparently but I love the ones here.

Since Covid, the car park is now outdoor seating. Even with the restrictions ended that's still there so should be awesome come summer with some nice pizza and beer

Update 4/22: Covid clearly now released for UK and the pub has kept the outside area which is absolutely the right plan. Pizza oven is fired up and provides a lovely pizza (£8 upwards)

Update 12/22 Pizza oven now off. Change in staff.. Still good.

Update 5/24 The pub is back at it's best. Regular x beer events, curry nights and more. The pizza oven and outside bar are in full effect for summer and the cark park is now just picnic tables galore so loads of space.

They are showing the Euros here too this summer. Whether it's the 1 screen in a tent again I don't know...
