The Walkley Cottage — Restaurant in Sheffield

Superb new decor has really brought a fantastic little venue to life. Service was impeccable from the friendly Annabelle and always welcoming Sophie. The food was beyond divine. The management need to be praised for bringing some of the best locally sourced food to the area and the chef is simply a wizard. Friends visited at the weekend and were blown away by the quality and value of the three small plates option. They declared the pork was melting in the mouth, matched by the brilliant wings and I think they ran out of praise when they hit the halloumi. My friend went for the artisan sausage yesterday and said my praise was not misplaced. Thats genuinely the largest frankfurter and she confirmed tastiest, we have ever seen. I went for the new addition of pies, Wow wow and wow again. Beautiful chunks of chicken, ham hock and leek in the most stunning pastry! No idea how this wizard makes those mash potatoes so creamy but from an Irish woman...he's nailed it! We tried the new gin cheesecake and again a perfect end to a perfect meal. Can not praise the food and service enough and totally understand why the Sunday lunches often need booking to ensure the best food in Sheffield. I haven't forgotten the vegetarians as this menu has a massive range of options for the non carnivores, which looked mighty tempting to this meat eater! Thank you Sophie, Annabelle and Chef Matt and the rest of the hardworking team for a fantastic meal and experience. We...

Firstly I hate to leave negative reviews, as I appreciate the impact it can have. But I'm sorry, our experience today was totally unacceptable. We arrived at 3pm and the pub was empty except for some local workmen. And here's my first issue. Every other word was a swear word begining with a "F" or a "C", which in my opinion is totally unacceptable, and staff did nothing to address it, even though they could be heard through out the pub. Secondly, a pint of Heineken lager, and a medium glass of house rose', £10.25?! I'm sorry but that is by far the most expensive round I've come across in the local area, and is in no way justifiable! Thirdly, the food prices are extremely high, again compared to other pubs in the area. They were advertising a "special" Mexican evening at £35 per head. So that's £70 for a couple! I'm sure you could get much better value for money on Ecclesall Road! A quick glance at the basic menu confirms how expensive they are. In summary, I've not been in the Walkley Cottage for over a decade, and I certainly won't be back. If they wish to charge such exorbitant prices, they really need to up their game, charge more competitive prices. (and address all the...

Went to Burns night at Walkley Cottage last night and I must say, what a fantastic evening it was. Matt and his team had obviously put in a lot of effort to make it such a great night. There was a brilliant piper, Ian, who in full regalia ceremoniously piped in the haggis and entertained us all with a few Scottish tunes and laments. The 4 course meal was excellent quality served up at our table by very polite and helpful staff for whom nothing was to much trouble and quickly cleared the tables between courses. We had cockaleekie soup for starters, followed by haggis in a cream sauce (divine), tender roast beef, herby mash and Yorkie pud for mains and desserts. All top notch and well presented... Thanks chef! The entertainment continued for the rest of the evening with a duo called Swansong who were very good and rounded the evening off perfectly and it was only right for us to finish the night off with large whiskys. Well done...
