The Steal Foundry really goes against the stereotypical Wetherspoons which is one of the reasons I…read morehate the brand which is the largest pub chain in the UK, this location is done differently and I think it is done so well it sets a new benchmark to which all J D Wetherspoons should aim for, perhaps it is down to it being a shopping centre location being apart of The Oasis Dining Quarter on the lower level of Meadowhall. Now a shopping centre isn't the average place you'd expect to find for a pub and it seems Tim Martin and co (Tim Martin is the founder of the Wetherspoons brand) realised that by making this branch more suited to anyone including families, they have a larger amount of lower tables than other bars and while they do have higher tables suitable for drinking, they have a restauraunt area with a separate enterance too (you don't have to go through loads of people just in to drink the cheap booze), they even have an open kitchen which seemed efficient and clean, and was bringing out many drinks which looked pretty good. I mainly came in to pick up a Gunna lemonade due to their ongoing promotion where you can buy one at a Wetherspoons store and get your money back, while the mobile signal appears to be awful inside especially towards the back (where the main "restauraunt" part and open kitchen is), I was able to use the mobile app to order my drink delivered to my table via the app. I must say I was so impressed with the speed of the delivery, I know it was just a drink they needed to get out of a fridge with a glass with ice but to do this in a minute or two considering how busy they were is truly impressive. The staff seemed really friendly too, I love it when staff members go out of their way to make sure everything is okay, even smiling on the way in and out, this really shown the staff were happy and that doesn't seem to happen much in chain pubs nowadays anyway, it just brought a more positive environment throughout. I do think the selection of soft drinks and spirits could be improved however such as stocking a greater range of non-alcoholic cocktails and beverages, possibly including iced teas and coffees, the latter they do sell one which is premade however considering they aren't that simple to make, it would be great if they did. I also would have liked to see a better open bar for spirits, stocking more flavoured vodkas perhaps. Still, this is the best Wetherspoons I've visited as it's fairly modern and it doesn't appear to be run down like most their other stores, ditching the old-fashioned stereotype which one must surely associate with the brand, it's a rather nice place to get a drink if you're in Meadowhall and really does put Wetherspoons branches in the city centre (which took 10 minutes to get my drink which took under 2 minutes here) to shame. 4*

The staff are always friendly even on the rare occasion that you have a complaint, the decor is beautifully done and clean. The waiting times for food is reasonable and, if anything on the shorter end of the scale for a place like this. The atmosphere is friendly and its rare that i have ever heard anyone complain about the service they have recieved, or for that matter about anything about the place. This is one of those places which is ideal for taking a family for a meal or just a partner on a date.

There is probably not another resturant like this one in Sheffield. The food has been improved but the real attraction is the atmosphere. It has to be exprienced to be appreciated, but every seat is well placed and themed subtley. All of the seating is intimate and homely and some places even look like a dinning room for your family. I highly recommend trying this place out! Also parking is very plentiful!

Although they tried to fix this, they told us we couldn't have a particular sauce.. Because they didn't sell it... (Points at menu) oh.. Umm.. Ok... Then they threw away one order entirely..?! "we thought you didn't want it"!! (It was supposed to have gone back to be cooked) We were refunded cost of meal, but new landlady obviously did not like to be told it was poor... I said that I didn't think we would be back for a while at least.. Her response? "Sniff.. I got that impression".. (She then walked off) A complete shambles... Which is a shame as its decorated nicely and in general staff seem keen to please (if they don't yet know what they sell)... Perhaps in six months when they have had time to train staff and replace the completely inept kitchen staff?..
