Angel at Holmesfield in Sheffield

Jekyll & Hyde eatery .......... I posted about a lovely midweek meal that we had but I then took friends for a Sunday Lunch and what a difference. Poorly cooked dinner especially the Yorkshire puddings which shouldn't have been served and some veg. which was still at leat a minute off being 'al dente' as it was cold in the middle. Poor service as they forgot the coffee and the portion sizes of the desserts was totally different to 3 weeks earlier. I emailed as didn't want to post a poor review if there were extenuating circumstances but they have not replied. Overall we paid 'top dollar' for what was, below par pub grub. I have left my original review below but adjusted the star rating to include the recent visit. We have dined at The Angel a few times over the years, but not in the last 18 months. On looking at some recent reviews I was apprehensive about visiting and so was wonderfully surprised with our delicious experience. I had the gammon which was well cooked and with a full selection of complimentary additions. The chips and onion rings were particularly good. The puddings were tasty and a generous size with each course being served at a gentle pace so that we didn’t feel rushed to order nor eat. The staff were very cheerful and helpful especially with the little changes that we requested to one or two items. Not many people there today so was very quiet. Thank you all at The Angel.

Terrible experience and would not recommend eating at the Angel. Overpriced with poor quality and undercooked food. I don't normally write negative reviews, I felt so upset about spending £160 on a meal for 4 and expected higher standards to be met.

very expensive for not very good food. starters 3 prawns for 9 quid. mixed grill medium rare steak was medium well and full of gristle. chicken dry and tough. the lasagne was ok in flavour but very rubbery not a nice texture at all and lacked beef. the brisket was almost none existent and came with a batch sticker in it. the Mac and cheese was awful as tho the sauce was made from powder as was very powdery. pana cotta missing the biscuit. the lemon meringue very unique and not in a good way a sloppy powdery mess torched instead of a nice meringue baked in the oven. very slow service for an almost empty restaurant very strange for a restraunt to be so empty at 7 pm on a Saturday evening, obviously the poor food and expensive prices by has a lot to do with it. If you like good quality food at reasonable price don't bother coming here. Made comment on Facebook they blocked me

Absolutely superb. We felt looked after from start to finish. Great menu selection. Vegitarian baked fresh pie, 30 minutes but worth the wait. Lunch portions of Fish & Chips and Seafood Chowder did not disappoint and were just the right size for lunch. Sirloin with Peppercorn sauce was melt in the mouth. The desserts, Lemon Meringue, Fruit Crumble and a pretty spectacular Sherry Trifle were equally as pleasing. This is also a gluten free venue. Thank you to the lovely Gentleman that looked after us and The Angel for a lovely afternoon.

Lovely pub and so nice that entire menu is GF. Highly recommend.

Lovely food and all gluten free

Hassled to leave at the end of our meal even though there was nobody needing the table, loads of free tables. We asked to split the bill so we could each pay for what we had, and as there were only 2 of us, this wasn't hard. The waitress didn't do the maths right then when we asked again she tutted, pulled a face and gave it to someone else, said "you do this I don't get it!" The food was certainly not the best quality. My friend was not at all impressed by her roast. We left when the second person came to ask us to take the bill. We were still drinking and had only just finished eating. We both said we would not go there again.

I use to absolutely love this place and we have been coming for years as I’m gluten free and the food would always be lovely but on our recent visit it was extremely disappointing. I had the lasagne which was SO dry I couldn’t eat it, the two burgers which were ordered were very dry too and one of the steaks wasn’t very nice. We had no check backs on the food or we would have told them at the time. So when they came to clear the plates I mentioned it then to the supervisor and he didn’t say very much, didn’t even offer to discount the bill or offer a drink on the house or anything so I’m really disappointed and won’t be returning. I’m not sure if they have a new chef but the standard of food has dropped.

fabulous food. friendly helpful staff. Fairly quiet but still v nice

Awful food awful price not much more to say DO NOT RECOMMEND

Lovely food. Such a treat to have somewhere that is totally Gluten free, so that eating out is not a problem.

Really tasty food! It was such a treat to take my coeliac daughters somewhere where they could choose ANYTHING! Plus, it was all delicious.

Lovely country pub with nice selection of vegetarian food

Dissapointing, £20 for a roast with 2 slivers of cold beef. A single piece of cauliflower and one single carrot along with the spoonful of mash, yorkshire pudding and green beans. Food arriving at different times, meals finished before others have even received theirs. Overall negative experience which is a shame to see this place going downhill after being good for years. Also playing house/dance music on a sunday afternoon which doesn’t really fit the atmosphere if you ask me. Only saving grace is pub was nice and clean and front of house were pleasant enough

Our second time eating here on the way back from Whitby. I have celiac disease. It is so nice to be able to order and have anything I want and not have to worry and over explain why I need it that way. My husband can eat anything. We both love it here. He had the seafood chowder and I had fish and chips. Everything was excellent. The service, atmosphere and food.

Service is friendly and the pub has a good atmosphere. However, both of us had the pie - which was average at best.

Saw it does have good reviews. But I have to be honest. I'm Sorry to say it was disappointing. Food slow to come. Chips and fries not cooked properly. Lasagne dry. Starters good. Service reasonable. Been a long time since I last ate here. Might be a long time again.

Food was underwhelming. Poor accompianments to sea bass,tinned produce not fresh. Pies are tiny and for the price poor. Served choc tart still on a metal disc and trifle was all cream and no layers. Asked for an Old English spirit with crushed ice and they said only do cubes? Service and food was mediocre shall not be going again.

Service was slow. Starters were good, main meals not great. Pie was dry, roast beef was tough and meal was cold- potatoes were hard as were the carrots and no Yorkshire pudding. Thai green curry was like spicy cream, also came without the cracker. Not a great experience. So disappointing as it’s the only gluten free place that’s reasonably local to us.

What a treat that the whole menu was gluten free.

We love this place being our 6th visit. Our dogs relaxed quickly and we're treated to treats and water at the table. Service and food were great again and we do enjoy coming here when in this area.

Lovely pub, beautiful setting, excellent food. Staff and service were brilliant 👏

Little gem! We had a Sunday roast and every detail was exceptional well cooked and presented. So pleased that my daughter-in-law found this place which makes no problem about her allergies. Highly recommended!

Took ages to get served even a drink never mind food. When it arrived, it was burnt and uneatable! My partners lasagna had no sauce or cheese. Very disappointing especially after waiting so long. Wasn’t offered a refund even though the whole thing wasn’t eaten.

Delicious food and great customer service.

We were indecisive about booking due to me having so many food allergies but popped in to have a drink and a look through the menu. It was very busy with a party booking but it was explained to us that we could have a table with a delay on food service - it was worth the wait. Lovely food, friendly staff, nice wine and incredibly dog friendly - one to remember when returning with our doggo. Felt incredibly safe with the entire kitchen being gluten free , well deserved 5 stars 🤩

My daughter and I finally made the journey to The Angel at Holmesfield and I'm so glad we did. The quality and choice far exceeded my expectations, and the staff were lovely. The menu and specials had something to appeal to everyone and food was genuinely lovely. I also had a beautiful pint of draught bitter. For those who don't know, the Angel is fully GF and hence coeliac safe. This shouldn't put any muggles off though as they would never know!

Beautiful food and good service. All food is gluten free.

Waited over 2 hours for the main course with no apologies very disappointed

Booked for a party of 5 and on arrival the first thing we noticed was how cool it felt in the dining room. Then we noticed that blankets were provided for anyone to use who were finding it a bit chilly. Never encountered that before in a restaurant. After the starters were finished, which were very satisfactory, the main courses eventually arrived. Having dined at The Angel on several previous occasions and been very satisfied with the food that was served we knew not to expect fast service as the food is freshly prepared for each meal. When the main courses arrived they had been put straight on to cold plates and as a consequence were just warm at best. One meal, the 8oz steak (at £28.00) had to be returned as the steak was cold. Three of us had the mixed grill (at £30.00 each) which again was served on cold plates and was quickly cooling down. The food would have been excellent had it been served hot and on warm plates. The deserts that we had, sticky toffee puddings, were very nice, but at £8.00 each, were a bit on the pricey side. The meal would have been first class had it not been let down by the cool dining room and the not very warm food. For the prices charged this should have been a much more enjoyable experience. I will give The Angel another try, especially as truly gluten free restaurants are few and far between, but if I have another experience like this one it will have to be the last which would be a great shame.

Lovely restaurant and great to have some where for coeliacs to eat without worrying, food was great but service was slow. We would definitely revisit.

Brilliant selection of food for my friend with gluten-free diet. Main problem was the food took absolutely ages to arrive, nearly an hour, and we were only one of two parties there. No apologies either, so am wondering if this is the norm! Am afraid I won't be going again.

Just had a delicious steak meal at this pub restaurant. Great service from Ian and Anthony. Meal is made fresh 😋 and it took 30 minutes to arrive, which was well worth it. Very chilled atmosphere and lovely decor too.

Having dined at The Angel for many, many years we will never return. The service and the majority of the food was diabolical. The starters were mostly good. When the mains arrived we had to ask for cutlery which seemed a hassle for the waitress. The steak was cold, along with the mushrooms which were also like rubber yet the tomato was so hot it burnt the roof of your mouth. The gammon hard and salty, like leather. Chips were covered in salt. The prawn and chorizo starter was not available, however we were not told this when given the menus which delayed our meal even further (table booked for 8pm, starters received 9.45pm) also the Chowder not available .When making the booking we asked if the Chowder was still on the menu as it is a family favourite we were assured it would be! When we complained we'd never seen such aggression. Not once did the manager apologize, he declared all our issues were our own fault. What an appalling front of house. The mains we returned uneaten were removed from the bill but that's 3 birthdays and a wedding anniversary ruined. We left feeling hungry, disappointed and very saddened...Never to return

Very chilled atmosphere, everyone was lovely, food was awesome!

One of the worst eating experiences in my life. The food for my party was overcooked and very salty. The attitude of some of the staff and the manager was even worse - very disappointing since The Angel was a family favourite for many years. Will not be going back.

Amazing food! I went with 3 family members who weren't gluten intolerant and they absolutely loved the food...and for a gluten free person is absolutely great to know I can eat everything on the menu! The pie was fantastic and sticky toffee pudding was so tasty. A hidden gem and I'll definitely be back!

The Meat Pie had a nice crust, the contents were bland and uninteresting, the gravy was very good but the cheese "Extra" on the lightly cooked fries has either never seen Parmesan or has spent so long stored grated that it no longer resembles a flavourful product of any kind. A significant disappointment and a much less pleasant dining experience than anything I have experienced in a long time, this place left me wishing I had stayed at home and ordered a takeaway.

We have been wanting to try here for some time and finally made it with our two dogs. We were not disappointed at all. We had the arancini to start which was gorgeous. I had the seafood chowder and my boyfriend had the meat pie. Everything is gluten free. We don’t require gluten free but good for people to know. Can’t wait to go back and work my way through the menu. All the staff were efficient and polite.

What an absolute gem of a place. People running this and the staff are absolutely lovely. The food is amazing and ALL Gluten Free! Top beer choice. Top place

Second time here, man who took our order both occasions not welcoming or friendly, a bit short tbh. Staff never came to check if we were ok or required anything else. First meal ok but only one al la carte choice for a vegan. Second try was the Sunday roast which was disappointing. Nut roast very tasty, roast potatoes almost non existant, just 3 very very small pieces, asked if there were any more and told no as there were not enough available, those on my plate were dry and tough... too much mash for me, very few vegetables, two small broccoli flowers, half a carrot and half a parsnip that was a bit hard and undercooked. Mojito cocktail that was awful. Shame really as being gluten free this was an exciting find. I dont think I will be back. Front of house staff need to be more welcoming when guests arrive. Chef needs to up their skills and offerings.

So reassuring that everything is gluten-free and coeliac friendly.

We had a lovely meal celebrating a birthday - super easy to book online, the staff were really friendly and attentive, waiting time for courses was spot on but we never felt rushed. We each had 3 courses because it was great value - the food was fresh, really tasty and an added bonus that everything was gluten free as standard. Would definitely recommend - thanks for a lovely meal :)

Just went in for a couple drinks with friends. Lovely place to sit, cosy. Friendly staff and lovely area

Lovely food with all food allergies and intolerances catered for.

Food very nice, service very slow no one seemed to know what they were doing the guy waiter said do we want dessert we said yes but failed to bring us the dessert menu looked like he completely forgot about us as he went off whipping other tables 🤷so we decided to sack off the dessert and have that at home instead. Overall rating average at best.

I'd definitely go here again. Absolutely delicious. For main I ordered seafood chowder, but can't find a picture. Nice service too. It's family friendly but equally id recommend it for romantic occasions.

It was our first visit “The Angel” today and we were all very impressed. Being gluten and lactose intolerant I’m always nervous about dining out but the staff there confidently explained the ingredients and put my mind at ease. The food was superb and it was a relaxed atmosphere. I will gladly return and recommend to all.

Service might be a tad slow, but for us it was just right as we like to take our time and socialise and appreciate the wine. Food was very good and staff were friendly.

We travel from South wales to visit our family in totley the highlight of our visit is eating at your place its scrummy thanks to all the staff my wife has coeliac and was able to choose from anything on the menu

What can i say . Brilliant , just brilliant . . . as a family of 6 we have someone who's coeliac , some one who's milk , egg intolerant . So eating out can be difficult . Food was great , prices were good , ales were lovely (also gluten free) , Staff friendly and knowledgeable . We will be back for sure . Thank you

Excellent food would definitely recommend

Absolutely a great meal great service

Excellent food / Sunday Roast was first class. Service very attentive. Worth a visit ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Gorgeous little pub with a relaxing atmosphere and delicious food

Delicious food beautifully presented . Pudding to die for 😋 & served with knowledgeable staff.

Lovely home cooked Sunday lunch, excellent staff

Nice atmosphere and great food. We went towards the end of the lunch service so it was a bit slow but was worth it when the food arrived. Lovely staff with a good sense of humour.

We had steaks and mulled wine. Both were fantastic. Would definitely recommend this to anyone.

We had a lovely meal on Christmas Eve. The food was lovely, the portions were a standard size but the quality was extremely good.

Fish and chips. Fish was soaked in oil, chips like they had been warmed up. Service. Lots of confusion with meals on the menu not available, only decaffeinated coffee. Atmosphere. Cold, only 2 other tables of customers. Not a place to rave about. Poor value for money.

Overpriced! Small portions not good value - and not very tasty - will not return. Conservatory seating cold

OH WOW! What an amazing dinner! My wife is Coeliac but I am not, everything is amazingly tasty and you would never know it was all Gluten free! Well worth the hour drive each way for us and we will be back without a shadow of a doubt! Friendly and relaxed service! Dog friendly too 🐶 (Was so good we ate without taking pics, sorry)

Only had a coffee, cannot rate the food. Beautiful inside and great service

Amazing gluten free food with amazing prices and the most calm, kind and humble staff I’ve ever met. It is definitely worth a visit over here. A lot of people but enough spaces and quiet enough to have a nice conversation. I saw many families and children having the time of their life here. A memory making place in the centre of the country side with amazing views!

Lovely impromptu wednesday evening meal out! It’s been a long time since we went to the Angel but the food was great. All fresh! I had a ‘small’ fish and chips which was superb! God knows what a large fish and chips looks like! The small was fairly sizeable! Nice atmosphere and decor! Service was great! We will definitely be back soon!

Great food and beer, food took a while to arrive but worth the wait.

Well what can we say amazing lovely atmosphere amazing food the tart was amazing very a la carte seating they do gluten free beer food and deserts it’s all 100% freshly cooked. We will definitely return.

Fantastic place where everything is gluten free. Don't let that put you off if you can eat gluten, been 3 times and food & service has always been great.

Great food and options. Wouldn't know any different that the food was coeliac/gluten free friendly

Fantastic place have recommended it to several people who are gluten intolerant. Have been a few times now been great every time.

A friendly place to eat food is very nice very nice staff

Outstanding food. Almost everything available gluten free too.

Lovely place to have a meal. Vegetarian but roast was amazing.

Been here many times, mainly for gluten-free vegetarian food. This time they took order for 4 pies,7 in the party. We are then told there were no pies, so for my birthday lunch, I had vegetarian sausages. The service was not good, and at the end they tried to charge us for the non existent pies!

Everything gluten free! Perfect, love a menu that I can choose anything from and try from other people's plates in the party

Tastiest food we have had in a long time ordered sirloin steaks absolutely cooked to perfection everything was so tasty 😋👌

I have been to The Angel several times over the last year or so and every single visit has been amazing! However I have to particularly leave a review today as the maple glazed pork loin special that was on this weekend (August bank holiday weekend) NEEDS to be on the menu all the time! What an absolutely stunning meal. Thank you as always to everyone at The Angel! ❤️

Great gluten friendly menu so fabulous for coeliacs. Dog friendly too. Conservatory can get a little warm but there are lots of other tables in the bar area.

Wonderfully warm welcome from the staff and owners. Great selection of draft beers and wines. Delicious dinner. The arancini and sourdough stater was sublime. An absolute must try for anyone visiting the area. The kitchen is fully gluten free, too.

Fabulous fabulous fabulous ! It was amazing to go into a restaurant and have anything I wanted from the menu. The only problem. was I wanted everything on the menu. I wish this was closer to Stockport so I could go on a regular basis. I visited with 2 family members who are not coeliac, and they enjoyed the food as much as I did.

Great place. We had a few recommendations for it as everything is gluten-free, and so we decided to give it a try. We were impressed even as we arrived. Lovely grounds and tastefully decorated inside. Very friendly staff. And dogs are allowed, too, so there were several 4-legged guests to coo over. And the food was a delight. We ordered far too much getting carried away that everything was GF.

First time into this previously regular haunt since change of ownership. Our food was excellent and we were glad they still had the wonderful seafood chowder.

Amazing gluten free food, great options for vegetarian and vegans. Great service

This is a lovely pub serving ONLY gluten free food, and with a great reputation for doing it really well. We only called in for a snack so didnt really test the food, but both the piri piri fries and the parmesan fries were excellent. Very traditional cosy ambiance in here, staff were very quick and welcoming. I stopped to fuss someone's dog and everyone seemed very friendly and chatty. The toilets were clean, and when I saw through a staff only door towards the food prep area, it all looked reassuringly good there too.

First visit and I'm already going back. We ordered fish/chips, beef and mushroom stroganoff and seafood chowder. All the meals were excellent and service was great.

Great food and service. A great place for any celiacs

had a lovely meal at the angel. Joel was very helpful & welcoming, an absolute credit to the team!! will definitely be back here 😄

You know a restaurant is doing well when it's packed on a Thursday evening! The food is delicious and all locally sourced from the Sheffield area.

A lovely pub with welcoming staff and great food. Other pubs take note: you can offer excellent meals without gluten and, in the process, attract new and loyal customers.

Arrived late Friday night hungry before a charity walk the next day. They were happy to keep the kitchen open so we could eat. Amazing food and lovely people. Will definitely go back.

Best veggie pie I've had to date and gluten free for those that have to. The pastry was like biscuit and the beer was excellent

Food was good let down by the sweets Expensive

Small menu, food was good, we walked in without a booking and was happily shown a spare table.

Gorgeous!! Lovely environment. Great beer. Thank you.

The food was lovely, staff very nice , but service slipped when we got to dessert...had to get menus and order at the bar , however would not stop us returning

Great traditional gluten free food! Get the fish & chips

Excellent 3 varied lunches on Saturday. All very good. Enjoyed local beer too.

Nice to talk too the New Owner of The Angel, at the moment their is no cook just sorting what's on menu but looks and seems better, not alot of teenagers like I normally see there x

Fantastic service and food from start to finish. This is a fantastic place to eat even without the added bonus of everything being gluten free. The addition of my wife, who is coeliac, being able to have a beautiful meal with none of fuss of asking for separate menus and worrying if items are truly gluten free was priceless!! Well done to all the management and staff 👏
