If you’re craving delicious Caribbean in Sheffield, look no further than Bishops Caribbean. I recently ordered from here and it was hands down one of the best takeaway experiences I’ve had in a long while!

First time trying jamaican food and I really wanted it to be good. Delivery driver was very nice and friendly. I did not enjoy the food which was very dry and lukewarm. Surely rice and peas should have more than 6 kidney beans in a portion? Also, you forgot my drink. If this is jamaican food I don't see what the fuss is all about.

We got the meal for 2 last night and it was so good. Perfect spice level on the jerk amd the meat fell off the bone, tender mutton and plenty of sides. Delivery was on time through Ubereats.

Another lovely meal and great service from Bishops Caribbean bistro. We ordered 3 chickens ( 1 lemon , 1 Garlic & 1 jerk ) for 10 of us for a family get together for Father’s Day. The chickens were all large and beautifully cooked , there was plenty left over to make sandwiches for the following day. Thank you Shaun & the team x

Just had the Sunday chicken meal deal 5. Got a whole roasted chicken, stuffed with seasoned rice, peas & sweetcorn, and steamed cabbage in a big tray. Served with a tray with roasted potatoes, a tray of coleslaw, a big tub of salad, couple of takeaway trays of gravy and a pot of hot mango dip, for £27. Plenty enough for 4 people. Loved the roast potatoes. I thought it would be kidney beans, but it was rice n garden peas, with sweetcorn (still really nice) We had the jerk flavour, but they do other flavours. Best Johnny cakes I think I've ever had. Tried the mutton curry, the brown stew chicken, now this. Ohh my days, delicious. Definitely recommend and will definitely be back.

Went and got 2 grab and go meals from here and a jalapeño dumpling. My son had the jerk chicken, which I tried (nice) I had curried mutton (very nice) both came with I bit of plantain and a vegan Johnny cake. My wife popped in while I sat in car, she said they had bit of reggae playing inside the shop. Don't tell my dad, but I think the vegan dumpling is better than what I grew up eating. The portion was good but maybe another piece of plantain or bit of cabbage. I think they do sides though, but when I get a meal, I expect plantain and cabbage. That said, I will be back and definitely recommend.

Picked up a takeaway Saturday evening. Had the chicken and mutton sharer. We haven’t been here for ages as is a bit out of our way but food is still as good as ever. The mutton curry is my favourite. The menu seems to have increased in size, and the shop is just a takeaway bar now and not a sit down restaurant. But food is still very tasty and worthy of a visit if you like something a bit different.

Given this place too many chances, everytime we order something is wrong, the dumplings are always rock solid and today they were black and hard like coal, the mac n cheese is literally just pasta and cheese on top, there's no sauce on it, I like spicy food but it's all overly spicy to the point where its inedible, you don't even sell akee and saltfish anymore, what happened? Did you get a new chef? I've ordered for years it used to be good but it's horrible now, I refuse to wast anymore money here

Need to start by saying we've eaten from here many many times and ate in when you was able from day one. NEVER complained about anything - food, telephone order, service in general, delivery - nothing. But this time I didnt enjoy the experience as much as i would have normally. Telephone order great. Needed for 8 ish or slightly after but arrived at 7.40 which wasn't brilliant on this occasion . The guy who brought the food needs to work on his people skills, I found him quite blunt and rude. The food was hot, and we ate it all but I did find the mutton curry quite bland this time. We would obviously use again because this is the first time since it opened things wernt 110% and I find myself writing a slightly negative comment instead of a positive one which i do do. Sorry Shaun, only being honest

The dirty loaded fries are exactly that... dirty and loaded, just the way I like them. The amount of chicken could be a bit more generous but the flavour is phenomenal. Next time we are going to get the loaded fries and some chicken to split between the two of us. If you can collect I would recommend it as you get a 10% discount. Gone off ordering via Just Eat et al as the surcharge the restaurants have to put on along with the service fees add on at least 7 quid (not picking on Bishops Carribbean here, it is just the way it is

The order was delivered quickly by a friendly smiling face and the food was plentiful. I thought I’d split the order into two portions and have the rest another day. Well that idea went out of the window as I went back and finished the lot. The dumplings!! I could literally eat a bag full. Will definitely be back. Please make a vegan dessert. I’ve got a real sweet tooth and the menu would be perfect with a sweet addition.

Was very disappointed today. I ordered a soup with cheese toastie, the food was good and the cheese toastie was not enough so I ordered an additional one. The soup and toastie togeather are £10, the soup on its own was £6.50. I only caught site of the card machine briefly as I paid and noticed it was £6 for the additional toastie. After sitting down and thinking about it I questioned a member of staff to check the price was right and was told it was correct. I commented that £6 was steep for an additional toastie. After more consideration I thought this was really a bit unfair so spoke to the owner before leaving. I questioned why my first toastie was £3.50 yet the second one was £6. I was told that it was subsidised by the soup to which I replied, well it is an additional one to accompany my soup, I had not ordered it on its own and said that I thought it was not very fair or customer freindly. I was told "you can have your £2.50 back, but don't order an extra cheese toastie again, I can't stand here all day making sandwiches for £3.50 each". In my humble opinion this is poor customer service and unfair pricing. For example, if you go up to S17 Cafe up the road in Bradway they will serve an extra 1/2 a cheese toastie or additional one for the same extra price as the first one. I think I will drive the extra mile in future to enjoy better customer service elsewhere without leaving and feeling ripped off. I understand that businesses have a profit to make but fair pricing is an important element in any business to keep customers happy.
