Cross Scythes Hotel in Sheffield

Cute country style pub, nice staff

Reading through the bad reviews and feeling bad for people tbh.however we have just stayed overnight and had a excellent experience,the staff were very freindly and the room was clean and nice,if I was a big drinker I agree that lots of the drinks were not available as the pub is changing hands so prob the reason for that.all I can say individually is well done staff and well done to the manager we met we found her a diamond even molly the dog liked her after a free sausage

Updated review: The Cross Scythes has been a staple in my life. Somewhere I enjoyed the best meals in totley growing up, worked through my adolescent years and summers home from London, and somewhere I genuinely looked forward to returning to, it gave me that nostalgic feeling of home with its inviting corners, tasty beer and fantastic local produce. Just what has happened to this once wonderful pub? Throughout the pandemic Scott and Ben fought to keep standards high, even at their own cost. Now this place which holds importance and fond memories for so many is fronted by a soulless, profit driven outfit lacking in basic empathy and human decency. Standards have slipped to a new low in recent trips home, but still I remained optimistic. Christmas Eve/Day at the Cross are a staple in my family. I was so looking forward to catching old friends and enjoying some great drinks, but this was not to be. Upon entering the pub 4pm most of the drinks were out, including Lager/Guinness and most other popular mainstays. Real ale all gone. By 9pm what remained was cider or John Smiths, with a handful of wines available. The atmosphere in the pub was sour, with people already making alternative arrangements for the following day. Now, I am aware Stonegate are selling up, but this is no excuse. You know the pub will be busy at these times, you know your staff will have to face the backlash, you know you are letting your community down. As I enjoyed my Guinness at the Shepley Spitfire on Christmas Day, we heard about the ensuing chaos at the Cross, and I can only offer sympathy to the poor staff who’s Christmas was undoubtedly ruined, alongside the many guests trying to enjoy their day. Good riddance Stonegate, please don’t come back to Totley. Roll on the new owners who know how to act with basic decency and respect.

Christmas Day, dreadful, ended up requesting refund and going home to make pasta. Should have eaten at 3pm but waited an extra 30 minutes to be seated as did many others. We pre ordered food in advance , was told this was not available when we arrived (starters) accepted alternative which was frozen food chucked in a fryer, no one ever came to the table to ask if we wanted drinks, no mains ever arrived felt as though they were stalling and had run out of food as all other tables around us also had no mains. No welcome Prosecco as they had run out but didn’t offer any alternative, no crackers , dirty tables, flooded dirty toilets which our 91 year old grandma struggled to use, felt so sorry for poor front of house staff as they didn’t seem to know what was going on either. Many others ended up walking out. We’ll see if refund ever arrives as promised by management.

If I could give a zero rating even that would be too much! Ruined our Christmas Day & left our kids starving! Left us an hour & half with no food apart from some lousy appetiser consisting of goats cheese served with olives & chutney to share between 9 of us.. then a slice of toast with cheese that was suppose to be garlic bread for the kids! No draught drink no cider / lager no Prosecco on arrival which should have been a red flag.. to then be told that there was no food left & would therefore not be able to feed us .. being told this at 5.30 leaving us with no Christmas dinner & without any where else to go & eat ! Absolute farce .. offered no excuse no apology no compensation! All this was booked months in advance! Best thing they could do is shut this place down. Disgusting

One star is too high. Absolute disaster of a Christmas Day. Pre ordered yet they ran out of stock for all courses. And we pre paid! Regretting that massively… Took 30 minutes to be sat down. An hour to get some awful looking appetisers. No welcome Prosecco, tables filthy, ran out of drinks. We had to drink wine in half pint glasses as they had no clean wine glasses. Shocking quality of food, can tell they literally ran to a corner shop for ingredients. Took two hours to get any food. We left after the mains, where we got no Yorkshire puddings or roast potatoes. The poor staff looked traumatised, and were crying. Stonegate should hang their heads in shame. The worst Christmas Day we’ve ever had. The owners knew what they were doing… they ran stock low as they knew they were going, took our money and left their poor staff to pick up the pieces. Scumbags.

The only thing that Heritage Inns / Stonegate excelled at during our visit was traumatising both staff and customers. Beyond bad. New owners soon thank goodness! Shall be avoiding Heritage/Stonegate outlets such as the Fox House as a result.

I can’t believe what I am experiencing! It’s Christmas Eve and we’ve come out for a family evening as my son is home from university. How can we be sat in the pub on Christmas Eve and they have run out of ALL draft lagers, IPA’s and Guinness. John Smiths or Inches are the options left. To make it an even better evening they have decided to call last orders at 21:45!!! This is a joke! Merry Christmas all

Christmas Eve. Last orders at 21:40. Absolutely amazing. No lager left since 20:00. Can’t wait for new owners to take over. Stonegate are a shambles.

Absolute awful,sat 2 hrs had cold soup ,would really not recommend

Afternoon tea didn't get what was on menu ok if you like sweet pickle sandwiches with a minute sprinkling of cheese wafer thin ham didn't reach the edges and a scraping of mustard mayonnaise minute pieces of cake looked like regular serving cut into three only good thing was the small scones

They might get more business if they actually unlock the doors. Went at 8.50am. Sign outside and Google says it’s open at 8.30am. All the lights were on and could hear staff talking inside.

Terrible food and service. Went here for a meal with friends today. Fish was just hard batter and no fish. Myself and a friend wasn't charged for the meal when we complained which was a good job as no way would we pay £16 for hard batter. The service was shocking. Took ages for the food to arrive. Once we'd been served with the main course no one bothered to come and ask if we wanted a dessert or drinks. I had to have something to eat later in town as I was still hungry. Avoid this place at all costs if you want a decent meal.

No es el tipo de reseña que me gusta dejar, ya que las cuestiones a continuación generalmente emanan del propietario del pub / holding / cervecería, etc. y no del personal de guardia Claramente con poco personal, el personal que estaba trabajando duro, pero ser atendido por alguien con jeans desaliñados, camiseta y zapatillas no es para mí El menú es bastante pequeño, lo que normalmente no es un problema, pero varios elementos no estaban disponibles dejando una opción muy limitada El servicio como era de esperar era lento (15 minutos para tomar nuestro pedido de bebidas). Cuando llegó la comida, los cubiertos estaban siendo secados en un paño de té como se nos entregó. Tres de nosotros estábamos contentos con nuestra comida, tres de nosotros no, patatas fritas y horrible hamburguesa siendo las luces bajas Lo siento chicos, debe hacerlo mejor!

Very expensive for burger and chips (£16) and the food was awful. Had to send starters back as were burnt to crisp, the burger was solid (too hard to bite) spent a lot of money for food we couldn’t eat. I’d avoid this place for food (beers were great)

Terribly slow service. Waited over an hour for food which was mediocre at best. Extremely overpriced menu. Advertising a menu online only to be told once you arrive at the pub that half of the menu isn’t actually available. Manager didn’t seem in the slightest bit interested in listening to my issues with the whole service. No apology. Won’t be returning.

Nos alojamos por la noche muy cómoda habitación cálida, limpia y amable personal. Dormí bien y hermoso desayuno grande cocinado. Encantador ambiente cálidamente campestre sin duda se alojaría de nuevo

Driving past and thought that looks a nice place let’s go in for breakfast ! Nice area not busy. Approached male staff member no greeting given asked to order breakfast for two he pointed to the tables we sat down looking for a breakfast menu none in sight . He had to go and find some , tried to order no one about set about downloading app to order when he reappeared . Large full English ,small , thick crust toast ? One slice of thin white bread £3. No conversation with customers, no staff only positive breakfast was well cooked Now I know why it was empty when we walked in

Fui esta noche por el cumpleaños 40 de mi Hijo. Espantoso servicio, el 40% de la red no estaba disponible, sopa fría, gammon seco y frío y pescado de mi esposa no comestible. Hablé con el Gerente totalmente despreocupado.

Stayed overnight, comfortable to clean and warm.

Absolutely awful. Booked a meal at least a week in advance. Greeted by a bartender who said we had to wait to be seated until his boss turned up After ten minutes we insisted we be served because his boss had no intention of sorting out our booking. Eventually the bartender took our orders by this time it was 20 minutes after our booking time. The food was pretty poor. The peas amazingly were over microwaved yet cold !!! The chicken had been microwaved so much it was tough as old boots. After nearly 30 mins the dessert arrived. Sadly it had been subjected to the same over-zapping and turned out to be the toughest rhubarb crumble we have ever had. Strange that because the waiter told us it was apple and salted caramel. The custard was pretty good tho. I suppose it’s hard to burn custard although given time I’m sure they could do it. Fortunately we won’t have to return again.

Just had Sunday lunch there with my family and we will definitely return. The food was absolutely delicious (the roast veggies were *chefs kiss*) , the staff were friendly and attentive. A thourally enjoyable afternoon was had and now I need a nap because I'm stuffed 😊

Fuimos a almorzar tarde el domingo. La comida era buena aunque pesada en patata y ligera en otras verduras. Sin embargo estaba delicioso, mi cerdo era absolutamente precioso. El servicio era bueno si un poco al azar, pero estaban ocupados. Tenía un pud... crumble de manzana caramelo salada... probablemente fue un caso de pensar demasiado... un simple crumble habría funcionado mejor... ¿no estaba seguro de qué había en el crumble... crujientes de arroz? ¡Bien, pero un poco extraño!

Booked a table for Sunday lunch as a large family. Nothing was left on the menu at 2.30pm. Meat seemed reheated. No crackling with pork meal. Poor experience overall. Did get a refund for half the meal and appreciate the efforts with desert. Won’t return.

Reservado para el almuerzo del domingo. A la llegada no estábamos en la lista, así que nos ofrecieron una mesa pequeña o una en la zona del bar. Elegimos sentarnos en el bar y muy rápidamente lamentamos esto! Otro cliente entró en el bar con un perro grande que ladraba continuamente y seguía poniendo sus patas encima de la barra. El camarero vino a saludar al perro y el perro se subió a toda su ropa y él le dio una palmadita al perro - problemas de higiene! El cliente era ruidoso e interrumpió el ambiente tranquilo. Aunque acepto que el pub no es responsable del comportamiento de este hombre, sentí que el personal debería haber insistido en que el perro no tiene sus patas en la barra y animar al hombre a calmar a su perro y hablar más tranquilo. Quizás este pub que acepta perros les haga perder el negocio de pagar a los clientes. No estoy en contra de los perros en los pubs - pero seguramente perros de buen comportamiento y dueños de buen comportamiento debe ser una prioridad! Lamentablemente no volveremos a ir, disputar la comida ha sido aceptable.

Popped in here mid afternoon, staff were friendly but made it very clear they were struggling with a big party being in. Asked if food was being served, then once we sat down with a drink told otherwise.

Great pub just stopped in for a pint. First time I've ever been in. Friendly service, nice beer, nice outdoor area. GENTS TOILETS ARE DISGUSTING. SMELLY, DIRTY AND IN POOR REPAIR!!!

Cracking little pub, good food and the rooms are spotless.

Just stayed here for 2 nights...Nightmare ...room hadnt been cleaned or bin in loo empted ..Horrid.!! Breakfast nxt morning had been cooked then heated again..coulded eat most ..nxt morning was the same !!! Asked if manager could please contact me ..still waiting ..not great ...

Edited an old rating from when this place was good. This place has really gone downhill under the new management. Went as a family of four for Sunday lunch. Even our 4 & 6 year old boys were mocking the food, it was abysmal. First choices were out of stock, second choices were really poor. Had several friends visit on different ocassions and all had the exact same experience. They need to improve fast or the reputation will remain... a real shame as it should be a great local.

Came in for a drink with friends last night and was greeted by a very arrogant member of staff who thought he could pick and choose who he served, seemed to think he knew everything. It's a shame because this seems to be a nice pub

Warm friendly welcoming staff Food was really nice. And just enough to eat without getting bloated . Well worth the money . We will certainly go again . Thanks team ..

Freddie and Bella were very friendly behind the bar and I had a lovely evening.

10/10 for the staff, very warm and friendly. 8/10 for the evening meal and bar service. 7/10 for room facilities. Balcony, comfortable bed, room on the small side, right next to the road, not much room on the table/dressing table to function properly, no teabags, small mirror on table, decent shower. 6/10 for room cleanliness. Carpet looks tired and grubby, quite a lot of dust around, balcony not cleaned or swept and ashtray not even emptied, grubby skirting in the bathroom, bedding was clean. 6/10 for sleep quality. Hot night but couldn't use the very noisy fan or open balcony door because of the very noisy road right next to us, bed was comfortable. 6/10 for breakfast. Layout poor, only dish and cereal on table, had to ask for milk, sugar and even spoon, no juice, food was OK but suspect precooked and kept warm, toast was hard. 9/10 for value. Overall...positives and negatives, decent value and would consider staying again.

Once again excellent service and food from Joe and all the team. Always made to feel so welcome by everyone. James and Paige today but all the team are exactly the same as I visit most days for a drink and food a couple of times a week. Also so very dog friendly that I never have a problem bringing mine with me.

Father's Day Sunday Lunch, excellent portions, bit slow on the service. Price was £16-£18 for a main, which isn't out of whack these days. Desserts were excellent. Main criticism, other than no one returning for the bottomless Yorkshire puddings/potatoes, was the parsnips/carrots hadn't been par-boiled first. They looked excellent roasted, but were hard. Can get away with that for carrots, less so for parsnips. The meat was very good, as were the yorkshires, and would certainly go back.

Really nice friendly pub. Had a full English breakfast with friends could not fault the food or the service, nothing to complain about.

Great lamb shank, real ale choice excellent including local beer

Great cozy stay right on the edge of the peak district with delicious food and an overall very cozy vibe. I very much enjoyed my time there and would happily book again!!

We saw the big sign outside after our walk today Coffee & Cake £5...unfortunately no cake only millionaires shortbread the latte was lukewarm and there were no teaspoons as they were waiting to be washed !! Having said that, we do enjoy this pub.

Stayed for one night- never again. Over priced, dirty rooms, dust and cobwebs, bits on carpet, shower door didn’t fully open as hit the sink, mould on grout, cardboard holding soap dispenser in place at the sink. Mushrooms on windowsill in pub toilet.

Great food. Friendly atmosphere

Nice looking pub/restaurant/Hotel. Very welcoming. Friendly staff. Good atmosphere , several 'corners'/ part of the venue. Room very adequate, having all you need, though no lift to first floor (but easy accessible) More than enough parking space.

A great evening with friends for drinks and sharing food. We enjoyed the sharing platter and had great service from Emily and the team.

Great night out with friends, good food, great beer and a nice atmosphere with friendly and attentive staff especially Emily .

The food was delightful, the conversation was too. I got what I ordered. My son Garforld really liked his burger. Our waitress Paige was very friendly.

Lovey place! Friendly staff. For a overnight stay more than suitable. We'll remember this place for sure when in the area again. Also had a lovely dinner; quickly served. Good taste, nicely done. Also the breakfast was good, as we spend the night in a lovely beamed room. Only thing was: no lift, so climbing the stairs. I hope to be back and do live 🎶 music show as well. Contact's been made!😉

Great pub, good choice of beer. Freddie was fantastic and dealt with very difficult circumstances excellently. Would recommend.

Great pub, good choice of beer. It was extremely busy and an off duty member Liv jumped on and helped serve. Fantastic staff.

Olivia & Freddie are brilliant members of staff! Super dog friendly pub and great drinks. Liv gave service with a smile and was lovely and welcoming.

We were served tonight by Freddy and Liv tonight and were very happy with the service and drinks. Service with a smile and lovely staff.

Charlie and Steph were absolutely amazing, really friendly and a positive attitude throughout my visit. Food was exceptional a big shoutout to the chef's

Absolutely brilliant service throughout my visit to the pub/ restaurant. All staff were really polite, attentive and generally just great. The food was delicious we all had the Sunday dinner and it was the best they have ever had, delicious 10/10. Thank you very much for a great Sunday afternoon

Amazing service from evan charlie and steph, they were incredibly busy with a huge booking on the far area of the pub, but they never failed to ensure all tables were accommodated! Food was fantastic, we had fish & chips and 2 lasagne and it was lovely! we were made aware of a wait but even better it came before the given time! Wonderful experience and will 100% be back! well done to you all😁

Came on a Sunday for a roast, used to like this pub before all the changes were made. Don’t even really have an issue with the food, but the service was shocking. No one tells you to order on the barcode, so your just sat waiting until you figure it out and 10 mins later someone finally came up to us. Very unwelcoming as well. Would be nice to see a smile on a workers face when being greeted and not feel like an inconvenience. When our drinks were brought over they were slapped on the table and the worker walked away without saying anything. It just doesn’t feel like somewhere u to when u want go out for a good time anymore, used to be. Food was very standard. Disappointed that it’s not how it used to be before the takeover.

Had very good meal here this afternoon. The staff are very helpful, efficient and friendly. They were very busy with a party booking in one are and diners coming in throughout the afternoon. The beer battered fish was particularly good.

I enjoyed a lovely Sunday lunch for Mother's Day last week with my family. The food was good and the service fantastic, very friendly and helpful. Will definitely be back again.

What a horrible birthday experience hospitality non existent had a meal there this afternoon with my family for my birthday obviously my birthday I was carrying a big Happy birthday balloon we asked for a table for 4 expecting out of politeness to be shown to a table the host needs training in hospitality skills I've worked in that sector and know the ropes he was very robotic and miserable my son-in-law found a hair in his dessert but we didn't want to make a fuss wish we had their wasn't a receipt offered on payment or a thankyou and goodbye but I will say goodbye because my family and friends will never visit this place again you've really made my birthday memorable for all the wrong reasons

Very disappointing outing to this restaurant. Given its boasts we expected better. My partner had fish and chips, not crisp enough , batter soggy, I had Hunters chicken - wow that chicken was 103 years old, tough, tasteless. We chose Apple crumble and Sticky toffee for sweets. Crumble was doused in sugar, custard was weak, and tasteless. Bad news all-round not recommended.

A nice place for a weekend drink - there may be a DJ on, so prepare that it might not be a quiet one!

Can’t say enough positive things about our visit today….. we had a gorgeous Sunday lunch with lovely chilled drinks all served by really friendly and helpful staff. The desserts were the cherry on the cake and the place its self is charming and has a...

This place slays because they bring you bottomless Yorkshire puddings and roast potatoes if you order Sunday lunch!🤭
