becky7443 Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Thinking bout going here for food, has anyone been here recently? Can it be recommended? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonjaar Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 I go quite often, good food and good prices (with the 2-4-1 thing). Nothing spectacular about the food, but never had any complaints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
becky7443 Posted May 12, 2009 Author Share Posted May 12, 2009 Read some bad comments from a few years back bout terrible food and rude staff etc just wondered if it was still same??! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolvesjames Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Hi, I used to work next door, and went every now and then - it's definitely good value with 2 for 1 offer - usually about £4 for a pretty decent sized meal. There's also quite a lot of choice. I've never had any problems with the staff either - they've always seemed very friendly when I've eaten there. The only thing I would say is that the food itself is your typical pub food - nothing too amazing, but not awful either. I'd say it was better a few years back than it is now, but still worth a try and at £4 a meal at least you wont lose out on too much if you have a bad experience James.

Mr Doctor Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 It's probably marginally worse than a decent Wetherspoons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BasilRathbon Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 It's probably marginally worse than a decent Wetherspoons. It's MUCH MUCH worse - not only is the food poor and the portions small, it has no real ale! For simple, basic and cheap pub food I'd say the Ember Inns are a better bet; that side of Sheffield you've got either the Prince Of Wales on Ecclesall Road, the Sportsman at Crosspool or the Robin Hood at Millhouses. http://www.emberinns.co.uk/nationalsearch/searchresults/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyK Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 I was in there once when it was really busy...the chef came out to the front to briefly talk to someone, and the waitress asked for something to do with an order...he lost it and loads of people heard him shout "I DON'T CARE...WELL THEY'LL HAVE TO P***ING WAIT FOR IT THEN WON'T THEY?!" We sniggered into our food like schoolboys as the tables around us gasped and tutted their disapproval! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
losthighway Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 I'd avoid the place; been in a couple of times just for a coffee/chat with friends cos it was close/for ease and the place was a dump. It's not helped, of course, by the fact these 2-4-1 pubs just look really tacky anyway. Interestingly, The Hobby Horse in Chesterfield used to be one but has since had a total make-over from the horrendous purple/yellow decour. I'd recommend going to a Wetherspoons over this place tbh.

daftlad Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 I would choose a pub that has freshly cooked food, not ones like Aunt Sallys where most of it is taken out of a packet and done in a microwave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HotPhil Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 Not been for a few years but used to live quite close and pop in fairly regular. Unless it's changed, it can be summed up as "cheap food". You gets what you pays for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
