Old Queen's Head in Sheffield

Outstanding gem close to train station and next to bus station. Extremely friendly and warm and welcoming. Great staff and fabulous food. I added this review before Covid, and at the time, it was true. Since then, it has had some trouble. But, today, I went in, and there is a new management team. They seem really nice and I can only hope for the best for it's future.

Really friendly pub, the landlady is a giggle

Nice looking pub. We went for the comedy court room roast which was really good. The lady behind the bar was incredibly rude. Won’t ever go back, unless they get some decent staff

Lovely pub unfortunately the woman behind the bar was super grumpy. It was as if we were an inconvenience to her ordering 16 pints of various beers.

The lady that served us looked annoyed that a group of us had ordered a drink. Lovely old building ruined by the old lady behind the bar.

Shocking staff. Barmaid acted as if it wasn't her job to serve us (we were the only people at the bar at the time) and made some rather unpleasant comments which could of been interpretatsd as racist though I won't jump to conclusions. I will say, good variety of beer on tap, albeit about £5 a pint. If the staff were competent, it would be a must visit due to its history, but I won't be returning in a hurry.

Met friends for lunch. The mushroom stroganoff was very tasty. Pub was very quiet, which suited us, but they deserve more custom! The only problem was the accessible toilet which needs a proper handle bar to help one get on and off the toilet! And a bit of maintenance

Would be nice if they stayed open until the closing time they state on google. 9:45pm on a Wednesday and big wooden doors are shut on the front but there’s still people sat on the benches outside? Just feels like they only want their mates there instead of other customers. Sometimes the pub doors will be open but you won’t get a drink because the barman has already cashed up and switched the tills off.

Went in a couple of weeks ago and although a lovely looking pub, as previous reviewers have mentioned, the customer service leaves a lot to be desired, to the point where the landlady was outright rude. In a time when pubs are struggling too.

Went for a meet up today good choice of ales excellent service to say there was only one on

Closed yet again. NO signage or social media posts stating why. Absolute rubbish. Constant issues with been closed without any notice

It is currently closed and for sale.

Went after work a couple of days ago and was served by one of the rudest barman I've ever met. The young lad genuinely looked angry that a group of people wanted a drink (looking at how dead the place was you would think he would be happy). Honestly never seen anything like it. Beer was expensive as well (but tbh everywhere is in Sheffield at the moment). Had one pint and left and will never go back.

Been using the Old Queens Head for more years than I care to remember. Never seems to change, always a good atmosphere with excellent service and top quality food and drinks on offer.

Had a great time visiting the pub, awesome atmosphere and awesome staff. Made some really good friends while I was there. Would definitely return to the UK to visit the pub again.

Not been in before but was recommended and didn't disappoint - great choice of craft beer, we settled on a great pint of Abbeydale Deception, didn't eat but menus looked good! Not too busy for a Saturday afternoon but busy enough - would highly recommend a visit 👍

Nice pub, decent pint and freshly cooked food. Prices reasonable. Friendly staff made you feel welcome. Would definitely visit again.

Called in for a drink after work. First time visit, nicely situated next to bus station and near train station. Enjoyed my pint

was half 6 didn’t let us in because 17 year old not let in in a group of over 18s, looked like a nice pub with a good history, ruined my night never coming back to sheffield thanks a lot

Need update anything from food to drink, we don't have anymore great food what is show on menu now, same about drinks especially proper Pilsner Urquell, don't have anymore what bar staff say..... looks so quiet now under new management ( not surprised cos if someone changed best lager in world for B class Carling...call madri))))) ) menu is looks like some chippy shop ((((( sadly say not a recommended.

Second time been in for food and again it was excellent quality. Will go again l.

A very nice pint - 6 hand pumped ales on. Carpets and upholstered chairs make it quiet and comfortable.

We had a meal of fish and chips. And it was awful. Home made chips thar were burnt and cold. For £10 it was very poor.

Had fish and chips, well, the menu said chips but what I got was burnt, black, grease filled potatoes. Cold plates. Chef shrugged his shoulders when we mentioned it. We'll never eat here again.

Poor quality food. Fish and chips ordered. Never ever had “chips” like that. Allegedly described by the chef as home cooked chips, they were burnt, cold, fatty and inedible. Why, when others eating appeared to have French fries with their meals?

Not much to add, surprisingly large modern interior. Friendly service.

When in Sheffield,the Old Queens Head is my go to place. Called in today and had a bite to eat. Had the Sea Bass .Absolutely gorgeous. Thanks Head Chef Ryan,Manager Lisa and staff. Highly recommended 👌.

A really awful pub, toilets full of graffiti and vandalised. Expensive mediocre beer and the food is straight out of a school dinner catalogue. It might be under new ownership but it's the same depressing pub that it has always been

Good beer choice Food ok Staff nice

We visited on a Saturday lunchtime. Matter of fact service. Great value and great tasting food and drink. Would recommend.

Held my mum and dad's golden wedding anniversary here recently. Lisa and her team were absolutely fantanstic, nothing was too much trouble and they made us all feel so welcome. The atmosphere at the Old queen's head is wonderfully cosy with friendly people. Mum and dad loved it. Thank you all so much.

Classic old pub in Sheffield's center. Location is super handy for access to the sheffield bus interchange. Usually quiet, good beer selection and friendly staff. UPDATE: under the new landlord this pub has declined SIGNIFICANTLY in terms of customer service and quality of the ale. I ordered my favorite pint on my recent visit, it tasted foul. I returned it and found the landlady to be very passive aggressive regarding my comments that it didn't taste as it should. She poured a new pint, it was clear as expected and looked night and day compared to the original. However it still started awful and left a burning feeling on my lips. I dare not complain again given the first interaction. Interestingly she never asked if it was better. Hopefully this is just a temporary issue and perhaps training on customer service and line cleaning will follow soon!

Lovely ,friendly bar staff ,good old boozer . Clean ,plenty of seating . At the bus station and across from the train station a great place to meat up with friends and work mates before heading off into the town centre, and a safe place to wait for your bus or train before heading home

Visited with my Mate Andy yesterday afternoon to check it out given there's a new licensee....A pleasant lady....There was next to no one in but I was impressed.....The most important thing for me is the quality of the beer....In being a Thwaites house, as ever it has the Thwaites range but also has 2 guests....I had a couple of pints of one - Bradfield Jack O' Lantern. At 4.5% it was a cracker - in excellent condition.....I asked the landlady who did the cellarwork...She advised she did.....She's doing a great job..... If you love top notch real ale, please go and give her support! Like myself you'll be back... Congratulations and the best of luck!

I think it has potential lovely staff good prices nice customers but would b nice to get food options but I think it's on the up happy to visit there x

Fabulous historic building near the station. Superb porter!

First ever visit for me here and wasn't disappointed, pleasant staff and a decent pint of warsteiner, will definitely visit again

went to investigate the story's of ghosts and hauntings

My husband comes here every week to meet friends and play games. Nice friendly pub, good beer and central location.

Quiet and cosy, having changed hands a number of times the atmosphere seems to be losing its cosiness, and the food quality has dropped significantly over the past few months as a number of people have come and gone. The kitchen is now closed when Im here, so I cant comment on the food now. Price of a double Kraken and Lemonade has jumped up by £2.10 though.

Enough tables outside and a suntrap.

Staff didn't appear to have a record of our booking. Service was okay, food not bad but nothing spectacular either. Not sure we will bother again

Nice pub... worth visiting on a sunday morning

Beautiful, very old building with a bar in the middle. Cask ales and draft beer. Large selection of chips and other snacks. My draft ale was fresh and delicious. If necessary (Sheffield is playing) football will be broadcast.

Went for a lunchtime meal, it was really excellent. Beautiful pub and the food was delicious (a really nice chicken burger & chips which were hot) for about £6.50! We did not have to wait long. Thank you.

Love how traditional this pub is very homely just abit pricey but like it none the less

A real shame it used to be a great place to have drinks. Now it's dirty with mice running about and the staff look at them as if there pets.

Lovely old pub with plenty of lovely cask ales and good value food

Nice old pub with good beers and nice coffees

Friendly bar staff, perfect stop off before catching my coach home

A great atmosphere in an old English pub. The service is great and the drinks are reasonably price. I haven't tried the food, however, the prices are really good.

Lovely little pub friendly staff well worth going to

Proper pub. Great beers and great value food.

Pleasant place for a few quiet beers.

Nice ales, friendly staff, only wanted a sandwich and couldn't have helped more, absolutely fantastic from them, would highly recommend..

Marvelous historic pub in the centre of the city, near ponds ford and both bus and train station. Good traditional pub food

Lovely building, good pub grub, and decent pint at a very reasonable price. Definitely a bit of a gem.

Love the place .. excellent atmosphere...good drinks. We definitely go back!!

Great bunch of guys that work here, were super hospitable when waiting for my bus in the middle of a cold night, would highly recommend!

Decent beer selection, gorgeous building, decent location. Includes the history of the building written up inside and has lots of amazing carvings done into the wood and timber frames.

Only been in twice so far, but from my visit, seemed to have a good atmosphere. Thee beers they had on cask were nice too, and well poured.

One of my favourite places to visit, usually on a Tuesday after badminton. The beer is always great, food lovely and good value. Staff brilliant and really friendly. Great atmosphere. Only a couple of minutes walk from the train station. What's not to love?

Came here a few times as the other half's family really love it. It's such a cute and cosy little old fashioned pub inside snd I like that as it really makes you feel at home, will always enjoy coming here for a drink

This 15th-century timber framed pub is the oldest surviving domestic building in Sheffield. The menu, decor, and even some of the regulars could be mistaken for relics from that century, yet it has a certain charm and undeniable character. Always seems to have a decent selection of beers and the food though basic is good value and relatively tasty. Quiet during the day but can get quite lively in the evening.

Nice authentic feel pub. Looks a bit like to old boys house in UP as other buildings have grown around it.

Good beer, good staff, acceptable food. Handy for buses. Update 16 Nov 2022. No noticeable changes.

Good food in a nice setting. The oldest public house in Sheffield

Friendly atmosphere and polite staff

Staff are lovely and friendly, food is nice enough for pub grub - cheese cakes are gorgeous mind. Always welcoming though and makes an awesome recovery point after a long journey

Historic building now enlarged. Good value food and drinks, ideal place to wait for your bus.

Not been here for years and not how I remember it but brought good memories back.

I only spent a short while in here but I do intend going back again, from the outside it's an iconic building sitting in the middle of all new buildings but I am glad it's not been redeveloped as that would be such a shame, inside I was surprised as its quite modern in appearance the staff were very friendly

Good choice of beers mainly from Thwaites of course. Limited menu but good value.

Lovely old pub,visited for first time since the covid pandemic,plenty of beers available,great food.

Lovely old pub big tv .friendly staff plenty of choice inbeers .top food

Very old pub, quite s nice place with reasonable prices and good food

Traditional looking pub with a very nice atmosphere. Plenty of room for large or small groups. There is also a room upstairs available to rent for those looking for a bit more privacy. The menu has a lot of options with the fish and chips being a recommend from me.

Nice friendly pub good choice of drinks meals good and well priced

This was one of my favourite pubs in Sheffield when I lived in Sheffield I use to go in the pub on most days with a few of my rail enthusiasts mates. The meals they serve were absolutely excellent and the beers was superb. Now people say this pub is supposedly haunted well I can honestly say the pub as got a few ghosts in it. I was in the pub late one Sunday night at about 21:45 I was stood with the old landlord and a few friends talking and having a beer, when one of the half pint glasses that was on the counter under the optics slowly moved across the top of the counter. The counter top was dry and clean but before the pub was refurbished and it had the small room me and a fellow friend saw a man sitting at the table with a black coat and tricorn hat. We went to talk to him but he just vanished.i have heard footsteps in coming through the main door on to the tiles and there as been nobody there. I really miss this pub and all the friends I use to see in the pub had some great nights in the Old Queens Head there as been some excellent landlords and landlady's in the pub who was always pleased to see you.

Not too crowded and friendly staff.

Nice pub with good beers. They have also some foreign beers. Only one thing which was bothered me is the man's toilet. Good place to have fast beer and to talk with friends.

Oldest pub in Sheffield, classic, traditional pub. Have to visit it if you like your pubs.

Lovely Tudor building hiding amongst a swathe of bland ubiquitous lumps of concrete. The cask ale is well kept and there's usually 4 or 5 to try. It's off the beaten track, so you can almost certainly be sure of a free table, even outside in the afternoon sun, and it's generally not rowdy. The staff are affable and the atmosphere is pleasant.

Fantastic traditional pub, within a 3 minute walk of Sheffield train station.

Food is great but could be little cheaper.

Was great and the food is amazing

Great choice of beers and friendly atmosphere.

Great place to relax with a good Czech beer

Love this pub, perfect for a sunny day.

This historic city centre timbered pub somehow survived all the development around. It is a Thwaites pub so surprised to find guest ales. I had my first ever Nailmaker brewery beer. A plum porter in excellent form. Sat outside in a seated area by the road.

Nice pub and a good beer garden.

Lovely pub tucked away, from the busy shopping centre. Serve great beers and decent food too. Recommend this place.

Lovely little pub in the heart of modern Sheffield.

Wonderful pub in city centre great staff and management lovely food

Been to a pub quiz here was great. Had food and drinks. Great

Good range of beers and great food. Try the goulash with proper dumplings.

Fabulous old pub. Great beer and atmosphere.

Really cozy and great beer! Big plus the manager/bartender!

It's a very decent pub but, given its history, should be shouting from the roof tops. It's run by Thwaites whose beer range offers something a little different. I found it clean and warm with sports shown on a number of screens. The clientele ranged from middle to older age to student age groups. It's hidden away but if it was in York everyone would be shouting about it!! My first visit in at least 20 years; I will return soon.

I had nice meals at the old Queen"s head.
