deadeyeduck Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 Hi i was just wondering what everyones opinions were on the best sunday roast in sheffield? I have recently had two spanish housemates move in and im not confident enough with my cooking to do it well at home. Therefore i want to take them out for a meal that highlights what is best about a sunday roast. Cheers if anyone can help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*binty* Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 Toby Carvery is the way to go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nosy nellie Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 The Rivelin is a good old fashioned sunday roast,everything cooked fresh and freshly made Yorkshire pudd. It is advisable to book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neeeeeeeeeek Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 Stag is my favourite, the Old house has started doing roast dinners and a friend said it was good but I have not been. The Milestone lunch is good but they are just getting far to expensive. £10.95 and drinks cost a fortune and they are not exactly generous with the food. Shame as I used to go all the time. Robin Hood food is excellent but the roast was dissapointing. Most carvery places are naff, great if you want to eat as much as possible but if you want decent fresh food avoid them.

feargal Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 Robin Hood food is excellent but the roast was dissapointing. Is that the Robin Hood at Stannington? I've loved it there, but the last time I ate there my meal (risotto) was incredibly salty. They had to bring me a new one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chinaski Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 Cricket Inn do a good Sunday dinner. I think there's an option where you get 3 courses for around £17. The beef will be properly cooked, crispy crackling etc. I took my kids to the Toby Carvery on Thursday, it's nowhere near as bad as you may think for a fiver. Then I looked over at my little kid eating her soup and noticed there was mould on the bread. And they tried to charge us for it which I wouldn't have minded if it was a cheese - but not bread.

Adri Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 I'm with Nellie. The Rivelin serves up a huge portion of everything that's good about a Sunday roast. Just make sure you have a good appetite, cos the meals there are not small! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to know which pubs you are talking about. Hathersage perhaps for Milestone and Robin Hood - but only "Old House" I know is in Loundsey Green Chesterfield. And "Stag"? - I know several of those. Maybe you intended to keep us guessing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always thought you got "crackling" only on pork? This must be the Cricket Inn at Totley Bents that you are referring to? They specialise in putting a strange twist on everything - like steak and kidney pies that actually aren't pies at all. Or burgers that aren't really burgers. I'm not surprised then that they can also do beef with "crackling" on it. I think they must be cloning cows and pigs on that field at the back of the pub? Interested to hear that you were tempted to try a place that you'd heard might not be very good, only to find it not half as bad as you'd feared. That's an interesting, open-minded, approach to dining out. Most of us only go to new places if they've been positively recommended - you obviously like to go to places you've heard are bad, to see how bad they are. Nice one! Anyhow, glad you enjoyed whatever you had. I can't really think of anywhere in Sheffield that does a good sunday lunch to come anywhere near what I would put on at home. I like the Cheshire Cheese in Edale Road Hope and the George and Dragon at Wentworth for their Sunday lunches. But not many other places spring to mind. I might try the Rivelin based on this thread - but I've no idea where this pub is. Rivelin valley I assume? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
