Hungry Horse - Riverside in Rotherham

I visited as part of a group of 12 or our work Christmas dinner. The member of staff waiting on us was amazing! Super friendly, very efficient at clearing our tables and always came to us with a smile - sorry I didn't catch her name otherwise I would mention it here. The menu is very good with the full range from those looking for something a little lighter, right up to those looking to take in a days worth of calories in one sitting! The process of ordering was easy, and the food was priced very reasonably too. The food began arriving to our tables promptly, and nobody within my party had anything negative to say about the quality of food, it was enjoyed by all! I had the Korean BBQ Chicken Burger and it was really nice, especially the chip seasoning used! Great atmosphere, well decorated, we were all looked after - nothing to fault at all!

Lovely place with brilliant staff

Nice and clean venue with a lovely breakfast with great service. Only called in for breakfast so nothing more to add.

Our party of 10 had our Christmas lunch today 4th Dec. Everything was brilliant? The food, atmosphere was great, but special mention to Rob and the staff who made it perfect. We had the Festive menu u which was delicious

10 of us came for our Christmas work meal, everything was great. Rob found us a spare pair of antlers to wear and looked after us well. Thank you!

We came on 4th December for our work Christmas Lunch, 10 of us. Absolutely fantastic service from start to finish, special credit to Rob and the rest of the staff. The food was excellent and brilliant pricing. We would highly recommend The Riverside and we will be back!

Friendly staff, fast efficient service! Food was great and reasonably priced

The best steak you will eat from anywhere!! Miller and Carter eat your heat out becuase Riverside is the place to go for steak!!! AMAZING!!!

We come to Riverside a few times a week and the food is always delicious , lovely staff who can’t do enough for you. We will be back, thank you!

This is our first visit, and we are very impressed. Friendly bar staff, and knowledgeable about the menu and drinks selection. Great menu choice, which suits everyone's requirements. Mathew Shaw the barman was so friendly and chatty to all his customers. He's a credit to the pub, as well as the rest of the staff behind the bar. Nice relaxed atmosphere and we will definately be coming back and recommend to our friends.

Parked nearby for night as a trucker and here was recommended. Food lovely, staff great especially Matthew who like me, doesnt like christmas songs in November. Matthew Shaw is an asset to the company, a great salesman and like me doesnt appreciate Boney M and Mariah Carey before December

Ordered the 8oz rump steal with fries and spicy rice. Steak was tasty but slightly over done, chips were good nothing to complain about, the rice was surprisingly tasty. Positive: - Decent food for reasonable price - Fast service as restaurant was empty - Was very clean - Very friendly staff Negatives: - Order soft drinks with no ice and was filled only 70% of glass which was a bit of a shock - Forgot my peppercorn sauce, but was quickly sorted after speaking to staff

Great spot with very good value for money. Staff are all welcoming and friendly. Happily come in for a drink or an affordable lunch. Updated to 5 stars for the best chicken wings in Rotherham.

Amazing service and lovely food. Went as a last minute decision after a busy day. Good set of staff, nothing too much for them xx

Great service and food all round Staff were able to sort a minor problem with no fuss will definitely be returning as a regular customer can’t fault the place at all .

Rob was amazingly helpful this evening at a girlie meal. Really appreciated his help. Would definitely visit again

Came with family for a meal, which was excellent! The staff were extremely friendly and welcoming especially Reece who was our server for the evening. Reece was an excellent host, will definitely visit again

Clean and tidy, service excellent, so friendly and polite. Food tasted great and hot not loop warm like other places ive been. Reece, Rob and Evie give the place a great feeling of welcomness when arriving, during and when leaving. Will definately visit and pass on how great The Riverside is to family and friends. Superb.

Came with Family for a family meal with grandad, uncle, and boyfriend, Had a lovely meal, I had mix it up steak, sweet potato fries, sweet chilli sauce, the steak was cooked to perfection, all the other 3 meals were cooked to perfection too. I even had dessert which was tasty delicious. Clean and tidy and the Staff, Reece, Evie and Rob the manager was really good to us, Would definitely recommend to others and I'd definitely come back again. Thank you for a lovely meal 😀

Very clean and tasty food, the staff were very friendly. I really recommend it if you want a good experience.

Good atmosphere, good food it was overall great

Food great and as a vegetarian really pleased with my meal - mushroom and ale pie - however, the outstanding customer service from the young bar guy made our quick trip out for tea great. He was so professional, friendly and quite funny, we observed this throughout with everyone coming in as we sat beside the bar. It's so good to 0 receive this customer service and we will definitely return mainly based on his service,

Very friendly staff and good food. It's a hungry horse so it is what it is. Will call again if in the area.

Great food, we really enjoyed it. Staff are friendly and polite, we'll be back.

We have been to The Riverside twice recently for food which was good, however this review is about the outstanding customer service received from barman Matthew who is an absolute credit to the establishment. His friendliness, courteousness and willingness to please each and every customer is a rarity (we were sat in a booth near the bar so witnessed this). Keep up your excellent customer rapport Matthew - you are an absolute gem!

Sunday lunch & a beer for a tenner.....can't grumble 👍🍺

Great food and great service. lovely place staff are very welcoming and the place is very clean and warmly .100% recommend .

All staff are friendly and really nice All the food is unreal😍 have some good banter with Rob because he’s a Leeds fan and we all support Rotherham but genuinely the pub is well looked after

Can I say we visited Rotherham today to watch a game of football with Wrexham FC. We were treated fantastically well, food was great, all staff & many customers where only to happy to have a chat. Made the experience so welcoming so massive thank you very much. Thanks for the 3 points as well. Sorry just had to .But honestly thank you very much for your hospitality. Nigel Ecclestone

Visited today to watch Wrexham Fc. The food was excellent, as where the staff & other customers who where welcoming & up for a chat. Overall a great experience & will be back I am sure. Many many thanks for the hospitality Nigel Ecclestone

Had a lovely breakfast with great friendly service will definitely come again Service was fast , we took advantage of a deal on offer

We come here all the time and we will keep coming back! Nice pub, lovely friendly atmosphere! Food always spot on, nice and hot and never waiting long!

My favourite place to come with my mum, we love it here! Chicken New Yorker is my fave dish! Always comes nice and hot! Love the deals they have! We come at least twice a week!

First time here for about 5yrs food, staff,atmosphere was good 👍

Great place to eat, the staff are friendly, served by Rachel and Rob, we both had steak was cooked perfect both friendly and professional A+

We have been here a few times, staff are always friendly and welcoming. There are usually some really good deals on for the food, this time we orderd of the £6 menu which is really good value! The food has always been really nice. This time when we ordered there was quite a rude impatient customer trying to push in the que but the staff handled it very well. It has always been a nice environment and not too busy during the week.

Second visit in two days. Love the food, quiet atmosphere and friendly, helpful staff. Brought elderly mum today, and she was given a box ti take her leftovers ( she didn't want to leave such a lovely lunch)

Have been to riverside on many occasions must say this wasn't the best visit,went with my husband and two grandsons.placing the order at the bar I found the bar man rather rude because I couldn't pronounce on off the dishes right The food was okay but not great ,I did not ask for kids meals but got kids meals ,the potions were small , didn't get asked if the meal s were okay , don't think I'll be coming back for a while

Really nice food, lovely staff, will go back and recommend

Good experience. First time here and would come back. Food ok for a hungry horse. Staff very friendly. Staff would be the reason for my return.

Just had a meal here with my daughters. We all absolutely smashed our dinners and the girls had deserts too. I had korma and the girls had tacos and nuggets. Must admit it was THE nicest pub curry i have ever had and all 3 of us absolutely demolished our food. Nothing was too much trouble for any staff member and the bill blew me away. Absolute bargain and amazing customer service. Will be visiting again very soon!!

Great place, great food, management really friendly! We come here regular.

Nice and clean place, had a small business meeting there and only had some drinks but I bet the food is nice too.

Food was good but I ordered well done didn't get it well done. Gammon and chicken was amazing. Ice cream was massive. Nice service.

Picture is how most folk want their food. Pic is what came. So I asked for a plate.

Great boozer and foods really good value for money 👍🏼

Booked for a family of 10 for Sunday lunch, we couldn’t fault a thing the food was lovely and the staff are very friendly and helpful will definitely be returning

Brought visitors from abroad here but being turned away just because they can’t cater to 7adults and 4 children. At first we were told we need to leave within an hour (regardless of how long their kitchen take to cook). Then we were told they don’t have a table big enough for 11 people even though we saw empty tables (but were told that the area will be closed). Then when we suggested to split into 2 tables, we were told their kitchen cannot cater to so many people. Have you heard of a restaurant that cannot or will not serve food to 11 people at 5pm if they were to turn up in 2 groups?

Staff are really friendly and very helpful,I only had a snack of chicken strips with a hot sauce and they was lovely

A fantastic dining experience, the food was excellent with top notch service

Just popped in before work for a bit of dinner

Nice food, plenty of choice and value for money. Friendly staff will come again.

Great service lovely food friendly staff and the lovely Nat who served it

Really good service and really nice cider and really good food if you want want to go for a data or Even want spice thing up to the bedroom this is place and really good pub

Been in today, asked for a cheesburger quesadilla which should have come with alot more than what we got..... We basically got a wrap and mince with a little bit of lettuce which was classed as a salad! What we received on the plater was totally different to what was described on the menu.

Lovely atmosphere, very helpful, understanding of different situations, smiling and friendly

Friendly staff,quick service and food was delicious deffo be visiting again

Absolutely atrocious. We ordered food at the same time, one meal come out which was wrong, had items missing, when speaking to member of staff, she had an attitude. I was sat waiting 15 minutes for everyone else’s food to come out which by the time the food came, it was freezing cold, at that point we then had to complain further about the burger as member of our party received which was a bacon cheese burger with a tiny slither of bacon, we reported and they cleverly said “yeah that’s what it comes with” then come back, slammed the pot on side and went “more bacon”. Will not be returning as members of staff our rude, food was cold & wrong.

Extremely disappointed, we waited quite a while for the food to come out. When it arrived I was gobsmacked at the look of it, I ordered the bacon and cheese burger and I was shocked at the amount of bacon on the “bacon and cheese burger”. It was mentioned to the assistant manager to which she said that’s how much bacon you get. She did then come over a few minutes later and bring a pot of bacon over. The chips tasted like they had been refried and the onion rings were as if they had been sat there for a while. As a booking of 6 we had spent quite a bit of money and regretfully too.

Food was served well presented and fast, service was good, prices are good. Lovely visit

Been several times. Staff very friendly and helpful. Cannot fault the service and food is cooked to order and well worth waiting for.

Great food great service very friendly staff will definitely come back.

We had a group of 7 as walkins on Saturday evening, the staff were most accommodating regarding seating, we did the same on the Sunday evening, just turned up as walkins, again the lady who I'm guessing is the manageress (sorry didn't get the name), went the extra mile to supply seating for all 7 of us. The fact that on both visits our plates were left empty says that the food was good and at a reasonable price. Will return again when next in the area.

Met up with family for a quick meal and drink all served quickly and fresh. Friendly and nice staff all good

we come here regularly and we always have a pleasant time! food arrives in good time! always hot and fresh, staff always friendly and helpful, keep up the good work 😃

For a quick bit to eat after work - I would recommend it.

Went to Riverside pub in Rotherham yesterday for the first time with my husband and one of my daughters. We had a lovely meal of steak and ale pies with chips and peas.( pies very big and full of meat).The pub comes across to me as a clean and well looked after pub.A big shout out to the to the Staff who are very friendly and welcoming.Thankyou. Will be back.

Food was normal pub grub, nothing too exciting but nice enough. Staff were lovely, made to feel really welcome and they chatted to my little one too. Will probably be back if over this way.

Great place for food. Been several times and will be back soon. Reasonable prices with daily offers. Great service too

Lauren was really friendly and helpful

Food lovely, unfortunately first and second choice not available but third was lovely!

Great pub lunch staff helpful, food was ok

Great food and staff are amazing

Food was very good, however the toast was a little dry but nothing butter couldn’t solve. The crumble was lovely as it was sweet.

We are regulars here, everytime we come they are polite and welcoming. We can always get a table without booking. Food is always delicious, my 2 lads enjoy their meals everytime and can be picky eaters. Never waiting too long either. Highly recommend

Not sure if they is a new chef or owners we we use to go at least 3 times a week,staff are still fantastic, but the food is just not as good as it use to be the portions are a lot smaller and the steak I had the other day was full of grisel sadly it will be a while before we go back

came for a nice lunch. Steak sizzler was great, nice sweet potato fries and great cooked steak. Chips and onion rings could have been cooked a bit more. Service was perfect and really good from the moment we walked in, very friendly. Lovely gent on the floor, checking everyone was okay and made a nice atmosphere.

Had a great meal with the kids. The service was friendly and amusing. Place is nice and clean, fairly priced. Great to end the day at magna

Love the Riverside the food is always brilliant your not waiting long for food the staff are friendly and welcoming nice clean pub

Very friendly staff. All smiles and very helpful. Food is what you'd expect from this type of place, but tasty. Shame they don't have any 'real beer' on draft but if you like lager you're fine. Overall a pleasant experience 😊

The Chicken New Yorker had no flavour, no seasoning and tasted like defrosted shop bought items. The kids meal came with a side of Cauliflower and it took a steak knife to cut through. The rice that cane with the second kids meal was stuck together like it had been overly microwaved and was also bland. The single Staff member in the Sheffield United Lanyard was extremely helpful, she apologised profusely and offered drinks etc to sort the issue. Altogether we Ordered 4 meals and only 1 was edible there was no offer of a refund and only one single staff member seemed to care.

Great service and wonderful food! Highly recommend. Staff are very friendly, and polite and food came really quickly.

The food was very good and hot, had one of the deals what they through the week. Very filling drinks are ok in price

Great food and location but the service is a little under par. They are a very busy location and understaffed in my personal opinion

Enjoyed lunch with kids during the school holidays. Took advantage of the kids eat for £1. Staff very helpful and great with the kids.

It shut early but apart from that it was a nice place

Went to the Riverside for lunch with my friend, absolutely amazing food and the staff were brilliant. The manager Rob couldn’t do enough for us.did the feed the family offer too superb value!

We went down for my sisters birthday today. The staff were absolutely fantastic, the food was phenomenal. The atmosphere outside was perfect. On a hot day like today it was lovely to get out and enjoy the weather

A nice place to go and have a delicious meal. The kids play area is great for keeping little ones entertained while they wait for their food.

Great staff good value food nice atmosphere. Two for one burgers on Friday excellent :)

Great service and attentive staff

Flys staff arguing in the kitchen talking whilst I was waiting for my food only bbc on tv staff keep looking at me price was disgusting £61 for 4 people and £3 a dr peper

Come regular , with and without my children and it’s a lovely atmosphere and staff are always so kind and helpful.

Excellent food and very friendly staff, really enjoyed our visit

Just called in for a quick pint with my little monster. A great Hungry Horse. Great beer good prices and a great outside area with playground for the kids. Special mention to the staff who were welcoming and BRILLIANT with my little one. We will be back very soon to try out the food and suggest you do the same. Highly recommended!!

Amazing food.your waitress jenny was 5 stars for sure Amazing personality food service was fantastic drinks were great also to talk more on jenny she was like the embodiment of service with a smile
