Montagu's at the Wortley Arms in Sheffield - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Sunday lunch visit. The nicest Sunday dinner I've had in years, beautiful, delicious, lush food, outstanding service, fabulous atmosphere. Great place to visit, highly recommended ♥️👏

used here for years, used to be exelent fish and chips, best ever , now rubbish wont be coming back.

I took my family in for Sunday lunch today! Was amazing, I had the pie and my grandparents had the beef and lamb! Clear plates all round! The pie is always amazing, the staff are super attentive and always make sure we have everything we need! Both owners are so lovely! Great place to be a regular. We go every Sunday! Can’t beat it!

We had an absolutely amazing meal at the Wortley arms. The Sunday lunch was excellent, the meat (pork and beef) were both cooked very well, and the selection of veg was great and more than enough for two. In terms of the venue, it has great decor and is located in a great village. The staff were all friendly and went over and above to make us welcome. I would recommend a visit to anyone in the area and we will be coming back.

would not recommend for saturday night out closes at 2200 tried to order another bottle of wine at 0950 to be told that we could but the place shuts at 2200. dissappointed as the night was young . prior to this when we first arrived at 7 and didnt order straight away as we were talking ( ordered wine) we were told that we could nt order because the kitchen was over run with orders 🤷‍♀️ never ever been told before in a restaurant that we couldnt order x but we were fine with that and let it go x our party of 5 spent £240 x the food was ok x not brilliant for the price x we complained at the end of our meal disappointed that it shut so early and we felt unwelcome to a have a further bottle of wine x the owners a man and woman told us that we did not under stand hospitality and that basicslly tgey didnt care what we thought and that we were welcome to complain on trip advisor ‘ no apology no understanding x they just wanted us out ! we only wanted one more bottle of wine and we d probs been finished by 2230 x but they didnt care x ive been going to this pub for over 20 years x the food has always been good but never have i felt so unwelcome and been virtually kicked out at 2200 on a sturday night x i will not return x the new owners are unwelcoming and rude and do not care about their customers ! not sure they understand the meaning of the word hospitable that they preach! obviously very angry with the way the hospitality trade has diminished understandable so x however it is not the fault of the customer that is there wishing only to have/ buy another bottle of wine and stay an extra half an hour x

We have been coming to this pub for longer than I care to remember. It was always good. Jamie was a talent. It has now changed hands, and I feel totally deflated after our visit this evening. I ordered a 10oz ribeye steak from the specials board; £28 looked good value. The problem was it was quite the worst steak I have had in several years. I pointed this out to the waitress when she collected our plates. She said "I should have said something earlier." I would have, if they had checked during the meal if everything was OK! A quick way to destroy a reputation!

We had a very nice lunch nice venue

We have been coming to Wortley Arms for over 8 years with the lovely Jamie and after hearing Jamie was leaving we were incredibly sad - he ran that place amazingly and the food was always to die for. We finally booked in to now ‘Mcgilverarys’ Wortley Arms to be incredibly disappointed. We arrived 5/10 minutes late struggling to park to be then seated at the other side where the dogs can go after stating it was a special occasion which was absolutely fine but alittle disappointing as it just seen chaotic in this side. We sat down and eventually got asked if we wanted drinks, we were disappointed that the local drafts that Jamie used to get from Bradfield were no more. We then got asked by a young blonde waitress that we might need to move due to sitting us in the wrong place.. we had be sat here for 20 minutes now waiting for our order to be taken. They went backwards and forwards deciding if we were to be moved or not… we were already thinking this is a shambles before even ordering .. all the staff seemed like it was there first day. We then got approached by the same young blonde girl to tell us that a party of 50 upstairs is ordering first now because we were late and we would have to wait after them. I couldn’t believe my ears. So your telling me a table of 2 now needs to wait after a table of 50 have ordered when we have now been sat here for 30 minutes. Her excuse was being.. we were ‘late’. I argued we had been sat here for 30 minutes whilst your all rushing around deciding if to move us or not. This was insane. I ended up debating with this girl how ridiculous this was. I asked how long is it going to take before we get our roast.. debating whether to just walk out. A more managerial women then approached us and asked us for our order finally. She didn’t have any paper and was trying to remember our order.. she looked like her mind was in another place. The customer service was atrocious. Finally our food came and we felt so deflated. The roast wasn’t hot, we had to ask for more gravy because it looked like they were scrimping. The roasties were burnt and it was truly disappointing. I felt so sad knowing this was our local and it’s now turned into a circus. After 8 years, we will absolutely not be returning and I’ll be spreading the world that a lovely family run business as turned in to a ‘chained’ unexperienced circus’.

Great place to eat lovely food and great service

Recent full refit and very nicely done too. Lovely country pub. Bar staff and owners are lovely people . Apparently breakfast is served on certain days from 9 or 10am to 3pm but i havent as yet tried it. Benches and tables are available outside. I couldnt see any ashtrays though. Parking is available but be careful accessing the carpark due to it being on a 90° corner . There is however access on a straighter stretch of the road via the wortey mens club . Food was 8/10 due to poor yorkshire puddings which were a little doughy . There is a function room upstairs for parties etc. Its located close to wortley hall which is a place worth visiting. Quite a few cyclists in the area so be aware. A handy post office with lots of stock is located just around the corner.

Stops serving food really early. Don't bother turning up after 8pm, they'll turn you away

Very nice atmosphere anddiningspacw

We enjoyed a fantastic meal with the family with excellent service from all the staff

Another great meal at McGilverays at Wortley Arms, Father's Day lunch, food as good as ever, staff all lovely and Wendy and Alan could not be more obliging, thank you, thank you, thank you - we will be back soon

We both had the steak tonight. We like it rare. It came nicely presented with chips onion rings and a mushroom. Having rare steak you’d expect it to melt in the mouth wouldn’t you? Tough as shoe leather. I did say to the waitress it was tough. She just said it’s because it’s rare. Wrong!!! We won’t be going there again

I used to visit Wortley Arms when I was younger and always remember the food being very good. It was the second time tonight visiting under new management of Mcgilverays - the service was exceptional. Wendy came round to each table explaining the specials and having a general chat, really friendly. As well as Alan, he asked how the food was. Made a massive difference them both being a part of the service. Great atmosphere and all staff were friendly and attentive. Food was amazing and will definitely be visiting again.

Stopped for a quick pint in the garden. Nice relaxed atmosphere. Food menu looked good so will try that another time.

We had our small wedding reception of a few family and friends. Staff couldnt do enough.Food was cooked to a very high standard and all piping hot.Highly recommend and all my guests couldnt stop saying how much thed enjoyed the food and we loved the staff. Owen was Fantastic. We will definitely be back👍

Brilliant service, delicious food in a charming atmosphere. All in all a perfect evening.

The food was very good and they have a nice selection of drinks available. Would recommend to anyone.

Lovely place, lovely staff, lovely owners - AMAZING FOOD Really enjoyed a relaxed evening in a place with an up market feel. The food was so good and the portion sizes were awesome !!! Definitely worth a visit

First class service and food. Love this place 🤩

We had a lovely meal here the service was very good and so was the food will definitely be going back

Excellent breakfast, With friendly staff and good prices. And a lovely building. Will be going back for Sunday dinner .

The pub itself is nice. The staff were pleasant. The gluten free fish and chips were genuinely the worst I've ever eaten, with no hyperbole. The chips, mushy peas and fish were nice. The batter had the weirdest taste. Acrid, almost chemical. Nearest I can get in my mind is the taste of washing up liquid. My wife said "This may be the worst meal I've ever had out. I've had underseasoned, overseasoned, undercooked, overcooked, but nothing that made me consider for a brief moment that I could be being poisoned." We settled on that it was just the batter, scraped it off and ate the rest. We discussed this with the waitress. She went to the kitchen and spoke with the chef. They apologised and said it was down to gluten free flour and soda water to make the batter. Now, I've been gluten free for about six years, and have made fish and chips with soda water, and know the taste of both soda water and gluten free flour. This was not it. I'm not sure whether this is teething issues as Mcgilvereys has only been open here a few months, but I won't be returning until I hear some good reviews from friends.

My first visit I called in for lunch, the staff are very welcoming and the premises are very clean,i had a steak baguette,chips and a drink, it tasted absolutely awesome another visit on the cards good luck to the new owners for the future.

Booked for Sunday Breakfast. Service excellent as was the food. Definitely recommend

We were here last night for my 70th birthday we had a lovely time the food was fabulous just a few hiccups which stopped it being a 5☆ in every area .This has not put us off and we will be back as will my other guest

Good Sunday dinner with family. Excellent menu.Will definitely go back.

Great place, some of the food wasn’t overly hot which was disappointing

We had a superb evening meal here, beautifully presented and perfectly cooked. The landlord and staff are amazing and couldn't do enough for us, I'll remember our evening for a long time and will definitely be returning as often as possible to try the rest of the mouthwatering menu! The place itself is also beautiful inside and out, and spotlessly clean. Thanks guys for making it so special!

Fantastic, our first visit since reopening and everything was superb - cant wait to revisit.

McGilverys always was the best fish and chips when they were located in Fox Valley. Their recent move to The Wortley Arms was a good enough reason to take my parents there for their 55th wedding anniversary. Good to report that the fish and chips are still absolutely amazing 👏 Mum said the pie was wonderful too. All the very best wishes to Wendy and Alan for their new venture. Absolutely, we'll be back.

I was staying at The Worsley Cottage Guest House and the proprietors mentioned that The Wortley Arms had changed hands and mentioned that it was good. Well I wasn't disappointed. I was welcomed at the bar with a smiling face and a warm welcome. I inquired if they had a table for one and I was shown to my tablet, all in a professional manner. The menu is not vast which I like, as I always think that with a limited menu that the food will be of good quality and fresh, and I wasn't disappointed. I ordered the Derbyshire Pie. The pie was very tasty and the vegetables were hot and good. The whole experience was good, friendly and professional. Right, would I recommend and come again. A Definite YES. If you are in the area, I would recommend trying here. If you like my honest review please follow me as I have a lot and regular review venues.

Visited Mcgilvery’s on opening weekend and they have done a great job uplifting the decor and making it homely and modern with a great use of space. It’s a great spot for a bite to eat and or a drink. We had a newborn baby and there was plenty of room for a pram also and we learned it was dog friendly so will be bringing the pooch next time. We were a party of 4 with newborn and all the plates were empty when we had brunch. All the food is of great quality and taste amazing especially the triple cooked chips. We payed around £14 per head with drinks which is great value for money considering the quality and the portions. A really lovely spot and we will be recommending to family and friends. Looking forward to the next visit.

Perfect evening 1st night opening by new owners highly recommend food, service and staff are perfect

New owners, new start, everyone was lovely and very welcoming. Food and drink excellent as ever

Final visit before changes hands

Great experience but getting out of the car park onto the busy road can be tricky.

A very busy Saturday night. Very atmospheric pub, great lighting, warmth from the fire a lovely experience. Service delivered with a smile, very efficient team. The food delicious, two great choices, cod loin with curried leeks and potato bhaji and a huge portion of fish and chips. All in all a perfect experience, we'll be back!

Excellent staff serving lovely food..

Expensive for a meal and a drink

Exceptional food and great service. Highly recommend

(Always) Excellent quality food, served in a warm, welcoming and relaxing atmosphere. Thank you to Jamie and the team for their ongoing high standards and great hospitality.

We love this pub. It's a great mix of old and new, with a real fire lit in winter. Dogs are welcome in the bar area too. Seriously the best fish and chips we've ever eaten!! We haven't been disappointed with any of our choices. Vegan option looks lovely. Puddings are gorgeous too, whoever makes them knows exactly what they're doing. Good prices and lovely staff. Highly recommend.

This is a beautiful pub. The fish pie and chips is absolutely delicious. Sat by the fire on a cold day - perfect!

Excellent value for money and generous portions...

Please please just provide some veggie gravy and potatoes for Sunday lunch. The vegetarian Meal option was very tasteless but no one’s gonna complain about a solid roast x

Just had the lamb shank, absolutely superb food! Well done.

Excellent place,food superb and service excellent will be returning soon

Staff always so welcoming and polite Food always good 👍

Very disappointed with the Sunday dinner .had the lamb ,was told it would be served pink ,but it was literally raw and tough ,unable to eat .I wasn't the only person to complain .ordered a second round of drinks ,had to cancel them as they hadn't arrived before we were ready to go .a shame really beautiful place ,friendly staff .not enough staff on to cope .

Beautiful food. The pie of the day was full of meat along with super mushy peas and chips.

Held my brother in laws 60th birthday gathering here Sat 7th Oct. There were 21 of us and so we had booked the small function room. Staff accommodated our celebration requests and were very friendly. Food was very tasty and good portions Would certainly recommend this place if you are looking at your own special events.

We came for the beef short ribs, but they weren't available, so ended up ordering the Pistachio mousse stuffed chicken breast, my dinning companions ordered the burger and Pan Fried Hake, each of the dishes wer amazing, cannot fault anything on our plates. The service was attentive and just a lovely and relaxed vibe. I will aim to return next time I'm in Sheffield

Dated inside, but good service at the bar and nice enough outside

Friendly staff, accommodating, Sadly what’s advertised on their Instagram is different from reality. The starter was smaller and in a bowl, and the lamb roast did not have roast onion or hassle back potato. At £16 I expected better. You Could get a similar roast for a reduced price in london

A first visit, really impressed with the meals, I had lamb, my daughter & partner beef very large portions including starters. Would fill any appetite. A good section of drinks. A most enjoyable lunch. Car park entrance a bit of caution required...E have since been a further 5 times. Excellant.. 👌...

We were seated in a room out of the main bar area which granted us a nice quiet, relaxing experience. Drink and food were served quickly after being ordered. Everyone in our party of 6 opted for a Sunday roast. All three meat options of beef, lamb & chicken were selected and served amongst the 6 of us. No complaints at all. Generous servings and all well cooked. Desserts were very good too.

A quick unplanned visit for Sunday Lunch. Excellent quality food and drink in a very traditional English pub, this all made for an excellent visit. Service was largely very tentative.

Lovely food, traditional pub restaurant. Only hitch was be careful exiting carpark. Very busy road.

An excellent restaurant with good service and food, I really enjoyed my fish chips and pint of Blue Moon.

Sunday lunch, Sheffield born but now live in Somerset. Travelled up for besties birthday...not disappointed...fabulous food great hospitality

Really friendly staff, nice and chatty. Can't wait to come back as the menu (and food on the tables) look great!

Let us in last minute. Nice pub. Nice location. Really friendly staff, good food, good beer. Literally couldn’t fault it.

Great spot we attended a wedding there, the staff where friendly and welcoming, the food was spot on and they allowed us to park our MOHO up on the car park for the night, loverly village with farm shop and a spot for breakfast. Wortley Hall Gardens are worth a visit just a shame the camac site is not open .

Called in Thursday lunch, sat in the bright front room with the sun streaming in, very pleasant. (Looked at the other room which was very nice but a bit more cosy and dark.) Served very quickly with drinks at the table. Food was a little slow to arrive but it was worth the wait as it's obviously all freshly prepared. Fantastic Fish & Chips and Sausage & Mash. Ordered desserts and coffee. The coffee was served promptly but again we had to wait a while for the desserts but once more well worth waiting for. Jaffa cake cheesecake & ice-cream and Hazelnut parfait with fabulously tart red berries which was refreshing and a bit out of the ordinary. Generous portions for both main course and dessert. Hadn't visited for years but will certainly be going again and pleased to see the revolving door is still in use!

Great service by a young waiter and great food.

Great place! Friendly staff! Loved the reviews response to Karen on here (aka Angela)

We were a party of 16 there to celibrate my wifes 70 Birthday when i book i asked if they could acomidate us all together on the same table i was told it wasnt a problem,when we arrived we wete i a small room set out with seperate tables not together as requested. There was no welcome, i would have expected some sort of acnowledgement but nothing, The meal wasnt up to the standard they claim,all you could taste was garlic on the main course and for someone that dosnt like garlic it ruined the meal,we were told that the tie rice pudding was an award winner but it was inedible. We spent a fortune on meals and drink and my wife didnt even get an happy dirthday from anyone. I wouldnt recomend this place for any party.

The meat and potato pie was a disappointment. Not sure why the potatoes weren't peeled and they seem to be new potatoes which just isn't right and no base pastry just a top. Friends food looked fine.

Had a celebratory Sunday lunch ruined by unaccomodating staff ( don’t book a table for 2 unless you are under 9 st in weight ) and a confrontational manager who made accusations that he had overheard me swear ! Had a very uncomfortable meal squashed in a corner with our knees touching. Left very upset and won’t be going back despite food being good .

Out and about today and stumbled on this place by accident. Went in and were greeted by a lovely guy who was friendly and polite the whole way through our meal. The food was really lovely couldn't fault it at all. The portions were great, and one thing I will say is that their coffee is actually hot. Thank you. If we are ever in the area again, we will be back xx

Limited ,/ menu / choice of food

Rang ahead for lunch and friendly staff told us no need to book. We had a lovely table in the dog friendly lounge directly adjacent to the bar, with 2 excellent steaks, done perfectly authentically blue for mine, (which is a rarity nowadays with some kitchens) just before they closed for lunch. We were offered desserts too even though the kitchen had closed and had sticky toffee alongside Bakewell. Lady running the bar was accommodating both lounges and the bar by herself, and was always attentive and observant to the table despite juggling tables on both sides. Big bonus for us was the quiet table in the corner with dog friendly lounge. The pub itself it situated in the lovely small village with a really broad menu of not pub food basic, but a well presented selection, and is only a short drive from the various walks and scenery nearby, and a short stop off on the way through heading north or south on the M1. Really worth seeking out and definitely recommended. Thank you!

We had a really excellent meal. The food was beautiful and the great. Cosy warm and friendly. Thank you

Our party of 4 travelled to watch our cup tie in Sheffield "popped" in on off chance and were given a table and made very welcome food was 5* in particular burgers and pork ribeye ....we even stretched to dessert.....staff excellent (we weren't sure at first being "footy fans) but they couldn't HV done enough. Made our day THANK YOU will definitely visit again

New year's Day lunch a very poor Sunday lunch roast potatoes were reheats 😤😤

Fish and Chips are off scale , wonderful !

Had the Christmas menu tonight, it was our Christmas party, we wanted food and drinks but didn’t expect to be blown away so much by how well it was presented, the way in which we were welcomed, and most of all it tasted to so good! Even the sprouts!! We never had to ask for anything the service was impeccable and the relaxed atmosphere made for a very enjoyable evening. Thankyou for putting so much into making every single one of us feel special and looked after!

Excellent meal at a good price nice atmosphere

Called in for a drink after a walk with friends. We asked if we could borrow a couple of chairs from the reserved tables whilst no one was sitting their. We were bluntly refused with a "No!" From what looked to be the manager, who turned and walked away without a bye or leave, as if we had asked something rude. We often go to pubs after walks and most often some of us decide to have a meal. This won't happen at this miserable place. I will never go there again. Common curteousy goes a long way to keep a pub running, can't see this one surviving with such rude staff.

Nice surroundings but little cool on our visit heat wise. Excellent fish but potatoes used for chips not to our taste .

We came here for a family celebration. A fairly large group of 19, we were in a room away from the main room, which was really nice. Food was excellent and the staff were really lovely. Would definitely recommend here.

Beautiful food, well presented.

Went to an afternoon tea for a baby shower, which was held in the upstairs function room. Lovely food and really great staff

Super staff incredible food very accommodating changed chips for new potatoes steak was awesome 2nd visit and just as good as the 1st before covid thankyou for looking after us .

Consistently the best eating pub in South Yorkshire great menu choice, always perfectly presented and reasonably priced, my favourite place since 2007

Very nice food even better staff had a 18 mile walk and a Sunday dinner was needed.

Delicious meal, friendly staff worth a visit.

Went for lunch. It was fabulous food, lovely atmosphere and Leslie was brilliant. She was very friendly, worked hard and gave her all. Will book for a family party next month.

Very very nice steak meal. Friendly staff good service. Really good pub excellent service and excellent quality of food. Shame its is not our local

The team at Wortley Arms recently provided catering at a private party i attended at a Marquee, the service and food were amazing! The team worked tirelessly all day/night to ensure drinks flowed, and excellent and tasty food was served.

Friendly place when I went there. A reasonable selection of non-alcoholic drinks too.

This is the best eating in South Yorkshire. Michelin star at local prices

Great atmosphere, really friendly staff and brilliant food

Great food in a classic English pub atmosphere.

Had lunch here recently and it was beautiful ! Exceeded expectations (which were high to start with based on past feedback). A step up from high quality pub food - this is restaurant level and scrumptious.

Great Food as normal and Ale always kept well. Starter, Main & Deserts fantastic. Lamb Rump, Lemon Tart & Chocolate Panna Cotta standout dishes!

It is a traditional pub with a great modern menu and lovely staff.If I was to be very critical, I would say that it lacked a little atmosphere, however that wouldn't stop me from returning.
