A proper pub for grown ups, with a lovely atmosphere and the food was great. I had a steak and my girlfriend had the Sea Bass and we both licked the plates clean. Staff were really good and prices were very fair. Enjoyed it so much the two of us went back next day for Sunday lunch. We hadn't booked this time and the place was busy but it wasn't too long a wait before the manager found us a table. Fantastic roast with real, homemade Yorkshire pudding and washed down with some kick ass Bloody Mary's. Go there !

As others have mentioned, the food here is not your standard pub type food, but what they do server here is top notch and always tasting great! They are accommodating and will adjust the plates to meet your requests. The only down side is the serving size is a bit small, but going with a few extra starters solves that problem. The beer line up here is outstanding... page after page of beers are listed here and my guess is it would take some time to come here and go through all the beers they offer here. Some of which have very high alcohol content to boot. This certainly is not your rowdy pub, nor is it a stiff suite place either... its relaxing and always offering something different. Can't wait until my next visit!

Walking along division street and being turned away for being too late, we jumped in out of the rain to The Old House. Having been very impressed with The York we were looking forward to trying the same owners offering on Division St. The Cajun Chicken Pie was delightfully cooked, with pastry breaking apart with the sword of my fork. The chips and peas struck chords of Nan's cooking on a warm, summer eve. The burger topped with bacon and cheese oozed with moisture and some fresh salsa complimented the meat with its sharp edge. I will always go drinking in The Old House. The atmosphere, plethora of drink choice and well thought out furnishing makes for a brilliant watering hole. I'll eat there too now.

Visited here a couple of times and thought it was alright. Came here again on a night out with…read morefriends. Everything was fine until about midnight then several people on the table next to us started smoking (we were indoors). We commented on this amongst ourselves but didn't actually engage the group on the other table. They then moved to the other side of the bar where several other people were smoking. I also noticed the barman light up a cigarette. After about ten minutes one of the women from the group came over to our table. She asked us if we had been there before and I said we had been a couple of times. She then said that her and her friends went there every day and smoked. She said it was a lock-in and they were allowed to smoke, so I asked her if the doors were closed. They weren't and it was 1:00am (their own website says that they close at 2:00am on a Saturday). The woman then turned aggressive, shouting obscenities at our table and then screaming in the face of my wife. Then she picked up a glass and smashed it on a table directly behind the head of my friend, showering him in glass. The barman (the same one who had been smoking) came over to apologise, saying only that she was drunk. The woman wasn't asked to leave and was still in the pub when we left. Avoid.

The location of this place is good as it is right on Ecclesall Road in Sheffield, which means you…read morehave plenty of other bars and restaurants surrounding it, so you can make a night out of it on just this one road if you like. There is a heavy student contingent here as there is loads of student terraced houses off the main road and so this is one of their locals. That just helps create a good busy atmosphere however and helps the pub remain busy and lively. It is well set out inside and offers outdoor seating at the back and the front, which can be great to sit outside the front in the summer and watch the world pass by and people watch. Prices are reasonable, heaven help a student inhabited pub that doesn't price drinks well. Decoration is fine and there is the usual pub feel to this place making it well worth a visit with friends for a few drinks.

The Botanist in Sheffield is quite hidden away in Leopold Square in Sheffield city centre, close to…read morethe City Hall stop on the Supertram network. It's probably the only bar and restaurant to also be a maze, its HUGE and other than outdoor seating it surely doesn't feel like you're entering a restaurant. They have 3 sets of two doors but strangely only one is in use and there is no sign for this, once inside you basically go back on yourself into a dark, dingy, horrible corner where they have the lift. After leaving the lift, finding the main restaurant is equally as puzzling and difficult. Admittedly, the decor in the restaurant is unique and innovative and true style of The New World Company restaurants, albeit I preferred the Media City branch, there were many similarities with trees, huts etc. It to me felt like an old bank or barn but refurbished, possibly even a potential wedding venue. I dined here during an ongoing promotion where they offered 40% off the food bill in January and ordered my regular Chicken and Chorizo Hanging Kebab which would usually come to £13.95. I did notice the menu to be slightly stained and sticky however service was reasonable with the waitress (Becca), seems to do a lot, despite not being overly busy she seemed to have a huge workload due to them appearing understaffed and she still worked in a friendly and polite manner which is commendable. They do also offer a set menu all year round however this still at £12.95 for two courses this still ends up costing slightly more than the 40% off promotion, so I have no idea why I was offered it. Also, I found it strange that they labelled dairy-free and vegetarian on both menus but only NG (non-gluten) on the regular menu, meaning if you did order from the set menu, you'd have to cross-check between them. Sadly the slight cleanliness issue which arose with the menus seemed to continue with the cutterly (ready on the table) which also wasn't entirely clean sadly which also is uncommon by usual Botanist standards. I did enjoy the majority of my kebab, while I do feel the garlic seemed to taste more overpowering and heavy than other branches, I did also find the meat on the ends to taste a little chewy and overcooked, while the middle was fine. It still had some good flavours and was rather enjoyable and certainly warranted good value for money, even at 50% off. Certainly not the best branch of The Botanist I've been too, but my food was still pretty good, as was most aspects of my experience. I do feel a lot of small improvements do need to be made, however, only warranting a three-star rating for now.
