Andy C Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 its opening on monday Excellent news, I will have to get down there and try it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianthedog Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 Oh, I didn't know that, I just heard that the owner of Champs had taken it over. Still can't see it making it though, The Crown and The Cricket Inn have got their food sorted, the Fleur de Lys and the Shepley Spitfire have both recently gone bust, and have both aimed at the budget end of the market. There are two more eating houses at Owler Bar, and the Devonshire Arms in Dore has its food trade well established. Perhaps an innovation would be a traditional English pub, with a good atmosphere, good friendly service and a good selection of real ales, no it would never take on. So because the locals of Totley didn't want budget pubs they won't want a gastro pub? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hennypenny Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 I went today and had a lovely roast dinner, with the most succulent roast beef, real yorkshire puds (not frozen pre-made) and lovely fresh veg. A definite winner if they keep that up. I didn't see the menu as it was a family party today, so I don't have any idea of the prices, but it does open tomorrow, Monday 9th November.

digsysdinner Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Errrr to whoever said the Dev at Dore has its food trade well established............ Is that meant to mean well established as farcical??? Anyway been in a few times now and evrybody seems to love it. Proper home made food at reasonable prices (£10.50 for a Sunday lunch that was much better than the Crickets at £17!!!). Anyway, why the sniping, they've turned it from a God awful pub like the Fleur,Dev,Moorlands etc. and had a go at something good. Support anyone? With that and the Crown I'm a happy man anyway.

hennypenny Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 so you'll know its not doing well at all Isn't it? That surprises me as it was great when we went, and all the other posts on this thread have been positive. It hasn't really been opened long enough to be making judgements yet surely? It has only been open for 16 days! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
port3421 Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 Went in there last night for a drink there was only 2 of us and 3 others in, The place is really nice, but a little pricey £1.80 for half of coke and larger was £2.90, not too bad I suppose but £1.80 for a coke.!!!!

jdscrubs Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 stayed there last two nights (yes they have hotel rooms) 4 altogether 3 with balconys and the one without is the biggest room. prices are £50 a room and £6 per breakfast. all the food is fresh and made onsite daily from local produce the waitress informed me of this which i thought was fantastic. great service and food hope it does well.. i will be returning in a few weeks with my family... they have the best family table which sits 12 people comfortable but you have to have a minimum of 6 (its on private area too). hers the number if it helps 0114 2360204 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue John Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Went in the other night and was very impressed. Now the Crown has gone downhill after Phil left, the Cross is now a firm favorite . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
