Drawbridge in Rotherham

I am absolutely shocked at the food , everything on the deck was dry . It looked like it hadn't been freshened for at least a couple of hours. The Brussels sprouts was hard, the cauliflower cheese was just mush the mash was just slop so I asked the man at the back off the bar if there was any fresh roasts as the ones on the deck was rock hard . So he went to get someone from the kitchen to bring some up which took ages then too top it there wasn't any gravey ! . So I just went and sat down and by the time I did my food wasn't hot . I just ate the little meat I had been given 2 small slices of gammon and 1 small slice off beef . So so disappointing if I had booked my Xmas day dinner with these from what I had today I most definitely would have asked for some of my money back and cancelled without any doubt! . From what I saw from what I think was the management couple at the back off the bar there was very little atmosphere in the place . Come on stonegate you need to sort what was a brilliant eatery but not now ...

Wonderful staff, great place to visit clean and wonderful atmosphere

Visiting friends in the area and on the off chance we decide to try here, and what a fantastic choice to decide on here. We ordered 3 margarita pizzas and two cheeseburgers. The food was delicious, hot, filling and cooked to perfection. We asked for our compliments to be passed on to Kara who cooked the food. The pizzas definitely rival some of the big name takeaways if not beat them. The burgers unlike other places we've eaten were juicy and not dry. Portion sizes are spot on and the freshness of the food definitely added to the flavour. Would 100% recommend anyone to visit and the walk in welcome is second to none too.

Popped in for a meal one time very nice place with high standard of food. Lovely staff especially (kara) will definitely visit again

Fantastic place and a great atmosphere. Terrific value for money, will be back

I recently visited The Draw Bridges and had a great experience. The food was really good, and the staff were very kind and attentive. A special thanks to Dylan, who served me and was extremely friendly and welcoming. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Amazing food fast service can’t complain Would go here again

We came for a nice meal, ordered our food and half of it didn’t come. service was rubbish they definitely didn’t get the customer service talk. we got told half the menu wasn’t available yet we saw loads of the food that we were told wasn’t available going out to other tables. Female toilets absolutely terrible have to stand on the toilet to open and close the door. terrible place do not recommend

Awful food, poor quality burgers. Could barely find the fish inside the batter. Avoid if you can

Food was lovely kids enjoyed their carvey and ice cream.

I looked at the menu online, and it looked nice. I arrived with a friend the place was empty, cold, decor poor and dated. We sat at a window table. The paintwork was flaking, the table sticky it felt over all not clean or cared for. We decided to try the food. We ordered a burger each. It arrived with just a burger and a few chips. No greenery, very spars, and non interesting to look at. Taste wise, it was average, nothing special. We were pleased and relieved it was 50% off. We will not be returning. No atmosphere or ambience, didn't feel clean.

Very good carvery on a Sunday and reasonably priced

Would never go there again, the food was disgusting!

the food was nearly cold and no staff was bothered we wont be going again and this was a carvery classed as a HOT MEAL

First time visit Monday dinner could do with a bit of background music staff a bit off food was reasonably good but had better n paid less. No beef which was a shame will give it an other go perhaps just Monday blues over all okay ish

Smiley welcoming staff. Food was served promptly, piping hot and tasted great.

Great food, good value carvery... Fully recommended

Come here often. Very excited to try some of the new menu items! Staff are great, very welcoming

We visited because we had an offer on the carvery meal

Staff are very friendly and helpful. The food can be hit and miss. Carvery is usually nice. The bbq chicken burger is very good as are the halloumi fries. Nachos are better off on a plate instead of a bowl or they go soggy. Garlic flatbread was tasty but very dry and the brownies/marshmallows in the rocky road sundae tasted stale. There's new items on the menu I'm looking forward to trying.

The new menu is great we particularly love the new cheesy jalepeno doughnuts and the tempura prawn starter. The franks chicken burger is massive and you get the doughnuts on that. We regularly eat here the food is brilliant and the team are friendly and make you feel welcome

The overall taste is not delicious☹️but the price is on the high side

Went in on Tuesday 8/10/24 5pm daughter wanted a nice carvery expecting tea time fresh food wasn't fresh paid over £20 for two drinks coke two carvery's meat you bearly get a full slice wish I had taken a photo now the veg was all hard and dry potatoes looked and tasted like like they had mashed them with garden folk roast potatoes was like rubber really didn't impress us won't be returning again a waste of £45

food was awful, mash was watery, meat was stale and long wait time with barely any people inside. joke.

Great value pub with friendly staff.

Nice carvery, meat nice, plenty of choice. Great value Sunday lunch, good for the money but don't expect anything fancy, just decent food. Only had carvery. Staff weren't very welcoming, carvery man was pleasant though. We will go again for a quick Sunday lunch or tea.

Great service, great staff, good food, good value. Definitely recommend!.

Went for a carvery with my family, great front of house staff made us feel welcome and the food was good and great value

Ordered two carveries and a fish and chips Waited 15 minutes before going up for carvery … which was lovely but we had eaten our meals before the fish and chips even appeared The floor staff were helpful and apologised but the two chefs behind the pizza station thingy were just stood about We ended up having to have the fish and chips as takeaway … Sorry Drawbridge but we won’t be returning

Wonderful place lovely food amazing staff highly recommended ♥️

Visited today was the worst carvery we have ever had from here veggies were all hard and tasted like they were old . Yorkshire puddings were also hard and very crispy meat portions were none existent won't be returning shame really as we usually go weekly

Clean place,staff very good and friendly,food was good had the carvery,pork was delicious but the Guinness was to die for best around

Go here a lot great Sunday Lunch and friendly staff

Visited on the Saturday night and went to the Sports lounge where there are tvs and a pool table. Then came on Sunday morning for the buffet breakfast. The breakfast pizza was a delight and I wished they done this at my local Stonehouse. We were staying at the Welcome Inn and this was the closest and recommended bh hotel. The staff at the Drawbridge were fantastic & welcoming too! Thankyou.

That new manager lee was sound, fantastic service

Awful is the only word to describe this carvery. They clearly don't know what a slice of meat is, as all we received were crumbs. The potatoes were so hard, they couldn't even be cut with a knife. The cauliflower cheese lacked any trace of cheese, and the mashed potatoes both looked and tasted terrible. The food was clearly not fresh and had been reheated multiple times. Overall, it was an incredibly poor experience.

Food is lovely, staff are very nice and friendly they even went out of their way to accommodate my son who likes certain foods separate, and most places will not do this. Would highly recommend!

Such a warm welcome on entering and prompt service. Drinks and food ordering was quick and easy Tracy was very polite with a lovely smile

Used to love coming here but unfortunately I won't be going again. Ran out of carvery at 5pm, how? I managed to have the last of the gammon and even then it was rock hard. Cauliflower, potatoes, Yorkshire puddings and carrots were also hard. A light fixture was hanging out of the ceiling. Overall not a nice meal, won't be going again. For the first time I left hungry!

Great place, not been for a while but always serves a good pint and good food! Will be visiting again soon!

Kara was the best bit about the visit, very helpful and a real delight. My friends and I had a great evening and the food wasn't too bad either 😁👍

Food was amazing and the pizzas were to die for perfectly cooked and don’t get me started on how decadent the dessert was highly recommended. Joe

Food was outstanding. Great staff and a massive shout out to Kara, who was most helpful

I recently had the pleasure of dining at The Drawbridge, and I must say, it was a fantastic experience! The food was absolutely excellent, with each dish prepared with care and quality ingredients. A special mention goes to Chef Kara, whose culinary skills were truly impressive—every bite was delicious.The atmosphere is warm and friendly, making it a perfect spot for a relaxed evening out. The staff is welcoming and attentive, adding to the overall positive experience.I highly recommend The Drawbridge for anyone looking to enjoy great food in a pleasant setting. I can’t wait to return!

The service was top notch ..the food was also affordable and ridiculously delicious. Special shout out to Kara she took good care of our entourage.

The carvery isn’t brilliant for the price, £38 for two adults and a child who’s 5. The meat was fairly nice&the veg was ok but the roast potatoes weren’t they tasted bad and the cauliflower cheese was basically just cauliflower it didn’t taste very cheesy at all. Was disappointed as we were all looking so forward to it, had it have been nicer tasting I would have probably given a better rating. Other than this, the staff were lovely, and the atmosphere was great.

Lovely chicken fajita pizza to celebrate a new job. 😊 Delicious and fresh. Would highly recommend. My friend Colleen loves it too. 😂

Love the staff and the food is always fresh and amazing x

Came in today for a drink and some food, Alicia was very welcoming and does an amazing job!! Will be returning

Went in with my family the other day and loved everything about it! The server, Lis, behind the bar was lovely and the dirty philly burger was beautiful, compliments to the chef

We went for food on a Thursday evening it wasn't late but the was no carvery or any type of chicken and a very limited menu this was only 7pm

lovely pub, amazing staff always friendly and attentive. I love that the bottom bar is open again :)

Popped in on Sunday and had a carvery, it was brilliant. The beef was beautiful and the gravy was perfect. We ordered more drinks on the app and there was a slight issue but Adam had it fixed for us in no time. Amazing food and staff would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a good carvery

Carvery are always good. Good service

Really happy to eat at the drawbridge, local to us, so we can walk and have a drink too. Will keep eating here

Lovely pub, great food. Great service from Adam on the bar informed us of all latest offers. Great seeing my Pickle and Pablo again

Visited this week, the food was of very poor quality, very unappetising. The pub inside was tired looking and lacked atmosphere. Sorry to say I won’t be visiting again, I’ll stick to the Moorlands at owler bar.

Went a few weeks before and the food was OK went back today and the food was awful chips like cardboard and the burger was disgusting partner was waiting for carvary to be served member of staff was to busy on his phone thought they had turned it around in there but no won't be going back alot of money for bad food

Popped in for lunch while working close to town. Easy enough to order from my phone and the 2 and 3 course deals are an absolute bargain. Ordered myself a pizza that was pretty darn good. It's nice to see them being made in an open kitchen and Rob (who the floor staff advised was the chef who made it) did one hell of a job with it! Will definitely pop back in when in the area for lunch.

Absolutely lovely place. Staff are brilliant, Very nice atmosphere. A recommendation for anyone staying in Rotherham

Absolutely brilliant place, nice atmosphere, chilled place. Would recommend anyone staying in rotheram :)

Want to thank all the team for today for my mums 70th booked for 38 people on a Saturday gave us a room that was just for us the staff was helpful kind and made us feel welcome the chef was amazing going as fast as he could and food was great thanks again and will definitely be back again xx tgank everyone working there on this special day x

Carvery is very poor; potatoes dried out, meat (beef and turkey) bland and required significant seasoning. Vegetables just satisfactory, stuffing and green beans very dry, turnip dry and the service from some guy was awful. Two people there need to be re-trained as they are clearly incapable. The guy with dark hair and is an assistant manager albeit is very young is great (served me yesterday). Breakfast today was great although for an English brealfast, why should one pay more fof mushrooms?

Great food and service from start to finish, Dylan was so helpful from start to finish of our meal.

All staff are friendly and polite but Dylan is defo the best staff there! Good food and atmosphere

Excellent family friendly place to eat. Great service especially from dylan 😀

Amazing service friendly staff. Big thanks to dylan for great customer service 👍

Lovely place to eat and the staff was very polite especially our sever Dylan

Lovely place to eat! All the staff are great especially Dylan who was so helpful, nothing was too much of an ask! 😀

Lovely staff and really enjoyed the carvery, will be back

Food is good, breakfast and evening menu. 1 of very few places that do fried bread on the breakfast.

I was looking forwards to my meal with my son who I had not seen for a couple of months. We did not read the small print that the 2 and 3 course meals were only Monday to Friday but that was OK as the meal I had decided on was on the ordinary menu. My son had beef burger which looked really dry and thin and I had the cheese and pine nut bake which was very nice. The problem I had was that I wanted this with chips but they were adamant that I could only have the veg from the carvery. I was not happy as I did not know what the problem was giving me chips instead of veg from the carvery. Looking at the vegetables they were terrible. Everything was dried up, the gravy had a thick skin on it it had been stood so long and the peas were so dry a pea shooter would have been useful. I am so disappointed and I am afraid will not be coming again.

Food was bang on! Been back multiple times since and cannot complain one bit! Love the food, nice quiet meal with the other half.

Lovely pub Warm welcome Great carvery

Jason, made us fabulous stone baked pizza, absolutely delicious, perfectly cooked and with a smile! He clearly loves his job and takes pride in what he does! Thank you Jason!!!

We booked a table for 7pm on a Saturday night. Very quiet on arrival. Went to bar to order carvery told that what was on the servery was accounted for. So tried to order fish and chips to be told that they didn't have that either. Alot of annoyed customers. Saturday night and there was one manager and one member of waiting staff on. Within 10 minutes of arrival it was busy and they couldn't cope. Will not be returning.

The six of us had a fantastic meal here, the carvery calzones were spectacular and Adam was superb, working hard to make sure my mum's meal avoided her allergies. Would highly recommend especially for the carvery and fresh pizzas and excellent service.

Good value for money, lovely staff! Rachel on the bar was lovely and fresh hot food from served by Dylan!

Once again I choose to come here for my evening meal out and once again I’m greeted by a waitress called Kara and Dylan. They were both lovely and helpful as always, making sure our food and service was top notch, always available for things me and my party need and always with a smile. Fab work from them both

Lovely food as per usual amazing service off Dylan and kara always go above and beyond when we come

Cara and Dilan, really helpful and friendly people

Always lovely food here, the service from Cara & Dylan was excellent. Family friendly our kids are 11 & 14 and love the food here.

We booked in here for a last minute carvery after our dog walk and we’re not disappointed! We’d never been before and didn’t know what to expect but it was delicious and the staff are so friendly, considering it’s a chain it has a lovely local country pub feel when you walk in. We were served by Liss and she was so accommodating and kind, bought our drinks to the table and was sure to let us know when the fresh roasties were out- would definitely recommend calling in here for a pint and some food if you get the chance!

Top carvery really nice people new look and chef Scott was fantastic at explaining the sauces and vegis Recommended for a try

Really pleased with my visit to the drawbridge, food was lovely along with great table service. would highly recommend to other family and friends.

Food was really nice ,service was really good when getting served with food staff were really polite always had a smile on their face especially scott the chef

Lovely food served here, was really pleased with how well mannered and welcoming the staff were to us all. A big thank you to scott the chef for cooking a lovely carvery.

Superb food . Great service . Had a little hiccup with a wrong order . Was soon rectified immediately by adam 10 out of 10 service from himself and the rest of the staff .

Scott was fantastic, top service from a top chef

The friendly staff are what makes this basic pub better. Adam and his team members like Tracy do a great job - always a friendly smiling welcome and go out of their way to help. I just wish the brewery / owners would invest some money on this place - it really needs a lick of paint and some work doing on it bring it up to the same standards of the staff who work here. This place has so much more potential and needs the investment. Staff - Excellent ! Service - Excellent ! Building / Decor - needs some improvements !

Excellent service yet again from Adam n staff keep it up 👍🏼

Adam was amazing and very friendly

Fantastic place for food and madri

Adam give me a good service and I was very happy 😊 😃 I would cum back

Great service from friendly staff

Food was really nice,members of staff was very polite ,scott the chef made us feel very welcoming with his friendly attitude,would definitely recommend to family and friends

Had a lovely meal, staff really friendly , 😋

Had a meeting here and really enjoyed it. Team was very engaged and bubbly.

Horrific carvery food bland and tasteless. Yorkshire pudding wouldnt have served to my dog. Meat tough an tasteless. Never written a reveiw before but the price was not justified for the horrific food. Not been to drawbridge for a while deffo not going again. Ended up with severe stomach pains an diahrea

Ordered on just eat, missed on started completely and sent a dry naan bread instead of a garlic bread pizza. Refused refund for missing/wrong items
