Fitzwilliam Arms Hotel Restaurant in Rotherham

Went for Friday as its fish and chip day. As sign outside, showed it was their special for the day. The chips and Mushy peas were average, hard to get wrong really. However the fish not so good. The batter was crispy on outside then wet and slimy inside, looked horrible. It also contained the thinnest piece of fish. It cost £10.30 clearly not worth it. However the service and drinks were good. But as we mainly went for food 2* rating for me. Should have been a sign when only a handful of people were in pub.

Very disappointing. Supposed to be mobility friendly but my wife had to get out of her wheelchair 3 times before we got to the room which was at the end of a long narrow corridor, bathroom had a tiny sink with no plug, light above not working, no toilet roll holders, no rubber mats in shower so very slippery, difficult to get into shower not much room, we couldn't control the shower water heater, very hot or boiling was the choice, we heard other people complaining about that, extractor fan not working, light above beds not working, carpet badly stained, bottom of beds stained, no electric plugs except for one if you moved a heavy side cupboard out, couldn't fill kettle as sink was too small to get it in.

Always a good carvery here and at a very good price. Can get very busy and noisy at times. Yorks puds excellent and a help yourself to veg etc.

Called in in a whim and ended up having small carvery. Table service. I had turkey and partner beef. Both delicious. Think small carvery £6.50. Yorks pud a bit leathery and sad but otherwise a lovely meal and plenty of it.

my husband and I had our wedding here and it was amazing from initially booking the venue right through to the day everything was perfect and ran so smooth the staff was incredible and our coordinator Sharon was fantastic really can't praise her and her staff really made our day so special and one to remember really took so much pressure off the planning as she was always on hand to help so pleased we choose this venue and the food was lovely all the guests commented just how nice everything was and how well the decor looked 100% advise this place

Had the Wednesday carvery 2 for £10. Lovely and fresh. Beef, pork and gammon, brocolli, carrots, stuffing, cabbage, Yorks pud, mash and new potatoes. Ate every morsal. Wait at the bar for drinks longer than it should be. Bar person did apologise though. Nice atmosphere. We will be back. :)

We had my wife's 40th and my daughter's 21st here on 24/11/18. All I can say is wow! Thank you to all the staff, Dj and the hotel owners. From check in, through to the party and until check out, a completely worry free experience. Great service, food was excellent, rooms though cheap are better than most higher priced ones in the area. Every aspect of our big day was looked after and after reading a previous review saying how bad it was I simply cant believe it and think there is more to it. This is the 5th party we have been to here and 3rd time we have stayed, never an issue as the staff are so quick to help when you need anything. Even helping the singer with his stuff in and out. Once again thank you all and well done to all the staff involved, a true credit to the hotel xx

never had problems when attending functions hear, the carvery is amazing and the drinks are a fare price. The one thing i dont like about this place is i wanted to do a charity event and at the time this was the only place available, they wanted £200 for the room and that didnt include a DJ, we paid £100 deposit which was non refundable, luckily we had another venue contact us and gave us the room for free along with the DJ as well. was really disgusted that they would charge that amount for a charity event

Celebrated New Year 2018 enjoyed it nice atmosphere and entertainment it was good enjoyed it. Buffet mid evening was excellent choice for everyone and Plenty to Go At. Stayed over room was clean and tidy inc bathroom with a well cooked and presented breakfast next morning. All the staff Evening and the Morning were friendly and efficient.

we were visiting relatives in Rotherham and decided to pop into Fitzwilliam Arms for lunch.I had not been in the place for about 10 yrs and was pleasantly surprised at the change.We ordered our food and had a couple of games of pool whilst waitng.We were the only people eating and did not have long before food was served by the pleasant young lady behind the bar. We ordered to OAP meals and was not expecting much but were surprised by the size of the meals and the quality.2 scampi chips and salad and 2 sponge and custards for £5.95 each very good value and will be definitely be calling in again sometime.

Stood waiting 25 minutes for carvery and still 6 people ahead of us. All that remained meat wise was the scraps of beef. They'd ran out of plates, half of veg, and obviously meat as mentioned. There was little to no staff. One bar staff - had to wait 15 minutes to even get the ticked for carvery. And the pub wasn't even busy! Lots of empty tables and was rather quiet. Have never been to such a bad place. We ended up sipping our drinks in queue and leaving before we were half way in queue. Waste of time total disappointment.

Excellent venue for our family party the accommodate was clean and met all our needs . The staff were willing and helpful. The food for our party was excellent and they had a well stocked bar including local beers and their prices were reasonable . It was easy to to book as there had a good web site it also contained helpful directions .

Staff sound Food not fancy but very good for price Lots of +'s and not much to moan about Recommend try it. And if you have any complaints just tell the staff because they will try to sort

Just had Sunday lunch which was absolutely fabulous. Quite full when we arrived but managed to get a table near the open windows which was a godsend in the heat! Choice of 3 meats, stuffing, Yorkshire pudding and a good selection of freshly cooked vegetables. The gravy was thick and meaty and tasted delicious. All staff very polite and attentive and made sure tables were cleared and wiped as soon as people left ready for next customers. Well worth a visit 😊

I took my family to the Fitzwilliam Arms Hotel on a Sunday to have their carvery. The staff were no where to be seen, the carvery itself consisted of one joint and very little else. It was worse than a staff canteen and I am still totally embarrassed when I reflect on the visit!

We went for my Uncles 70th Birthday for Sunday lunch, we had booked a room in advance and we were all looking forward to our meal. 15 minutes after we got there we were informed that the meat was running out so we needed to hurry and get something to eat so then 25 of us started to que up for our meals. The meat finally ran out and what people did have on their plates was cold, grisly and fatty - not to mention the dry veg that had been stood there all day. When they had ran out of meat they continuted to offer tickets for the carvery (full price) despite having no meat and hardly any veg that people had began to refuse to eat. 5 people from the party didn't end up eating anything and that's including my Uncle who was celebrating his 70th Birthday.During all of this my baby filled her nappy so off I popped to change her to discover there wasn't anywhere to do so, so there I was in this "Family friendly hotel" on my hands and knees in the ladies toilets changing my baby. So if you enjoy eating a carvery with no meat and cold veg and would like to change your child on the floor of some dirty toilets then this is the place for you - if not please avoid at all costs.

Great stay took my lil boy for a birthday treat had his tea there wich he enjoyed.room was perfect beds so comfy we slept like a baby :) breakfast was anazing also so much to choose from

Lovely place everything you need.breakfast is good.room cleaned everyday new towels and bedding cheap beer.cheap meals.£35.00 a night.safest place to be don't go pubs near by.

We have just stopped at the hotel for 2 nights in a family room, the room over looked the courtyard there the party took place, the music was loud and everyone outside, it would not have been so but but when you have a little one there is only so much notice they can sleep through. When the doors we closed at 12 that was much better but then you had everyone been so noisy trying to get in there rooms. Then at 3:05am people in the corridor were arguing this was 1 scary and 2 loud 3 no one to get in touch with to let them know what was happening. Also in the room was a fuse box on the wall that was buzzing loud that controlled lights and plugs. The room smelt damp and cold. My friend had her wedding there, there was a mix up with music for the night, so no Dj and they said well there is nothing we can do, 2 bar staff for over 140 guests, when I asked if we could have the Dj from next door as there was 6 people in and the TV music Chanel was on I was told no and there was nothing they could do and no one to speak to about that matter just young people under 25 and there were left to sort it out. Not happy and won't be staying there ever again.

We booked an overnight stay as we were here for a party. Check in was speedy and the lady who checked us in was very welcoming and friendly, and the reception area is lovely.Our room was clean and spacious. We paid extra for breakfast, which was freshly cooked and served with a smile. The breakfast room was in a separate room in the pub, and overlooks the courtyard - again a lovely setting.

We had to pay extra for breakfast and the cost is worth paying. A good breakfast and plenty of breakfast type choice.

Ate in the bar and in the restaurant next morning - good value, well presented and most importantly freshly cooked.

Visited here this week for something to eat with my family. We had the chicken fitjtas I most say the food was amazing since they new chef has come. Even the kids enjoyed there food they are normally very funny what they eat. Staff there was very friendly and polite and most of all very helpful. Thank you ☺

My brother got married in greece and new back in england was having a doo here for the people that could and couldnt make it abroad , the seating arragements in the function room was excellent , private bar , good room on dance floor , buffet food was really tasty was perfect enjoyed tge night very much , would definatley come here again x

The food has improved since they got a new chef unbelievable difference, fresh and very tasty., i will be going again if the food stays so good , everyone please try this place it's fantastic you won't be disappointed nice friendly place

Well from the outside it does look like its going to be really nice, looks clean and warm and well ya know just decent, Food ruins it very much so, crap quality. Luke warm veg really dry meat and price is too much for the quality there are much better pubs and eateries close by at less price with better food, wont be back here

Visited for the carvery at around 7pm. Two for £10. Empty apart from a few people drinking. The Bain Marie ( hot cupboard ) was steaming and when I looked at the food it appeared dry. It was. Gammon, beef or turkey. We both had turkey. Yorkshires ( rock hard ) cabbage ( didn't have it as it looked so unappealing, carrots ( ok ) roast potatoes ( rock hard ) stuffing balls ( dry ), mash ( if you can call it mash, dry and tasteless) sprouts ( burnt and stuck to the bottom of the metal container ) gravy ( ok) . Nice décor. Staff indifferent. On speaking to a member of staff about the food was told it is frozen Yorkshires, quell surprise! The food is not home-cooked I suspect only the meat. It's a shame because it could be so nice if the management took a look at what people want. Give your kitchen staff the chance to shine and let them cook 'proper' food.Won't be back.

Arrived for wake of a family member. Carpark cordoned off for a bonfire day after. Forced into small "tap room" as main room had carvery on...no customers though. Buffet was appalling. Upsetting for close family who were so embarrassed. Dirty cups. No cutlery. Totally unacceptable. Surly and unresponsive staff in a very dingy environment. Stay clear.

On entering the place was empty at lunchtime, which should have told us something. The meal was mediocre at best, microwaved pie which stuck to the plate. Won't be eating here again.

very clean and tidy, staff are friendly and polite but the food wasnt as good as i thought and it could have been better even though i did enjoy the dessert.

Called in today for a meal and it was carvery. We weren't fussy on what we ate so we decided to give it a try. Whilst ordering at the bar a lady was complaining. We were given a ticket by the barmaid, and weren't told what to do, or where we could eat our meal, anyway we picked a table and got our food. Not really up to much. The beef was dry and the pork was fatty. Whilst eating our meal the barmaid constantly complained to another customer how her hours had been cut and there wasn't even any music on to dull out her moaning! All in all not a good experience.
