Old Red Lion in Sheffield

Tonight the service was very very slow

Lovely food, with a gluten free dish being individually prepared for me. I had the fish pie which was awesome and huge, and my partner went for burger and chips. We really enjoyed the food, the service was friendly and efficient and a great atmosphere.

Went on a quiet Tuesday Tea time. The menu is fantastic with something for everyone. Service top class and the food was great. Great selection of Beers, Ciders and lagers. No complaints.

A great pub, this isn't a super large chain and the character and staff attitude really demonstrate what the big chains can't replicate.

I went with my Brother & My Daughter, & my Grandson... To Celebrate my Daughter's 40th Birthday... I did my booking With Liam the Manager by telephone 📞 for 13-30pm... But at Last minute Something Crop up... So I had to make an alternative booking time.. For 14-30pm... It Wasn't a problem Liam Said.... The Staff Were very helpful has I need to put up some balloons & Banners... With my Grandson... We had a three Course meal. Which I might add Was Exclent & Very delicious...... & the Service Was 2nd to none.... Phil Davies....

Nice looking pub, ok food but no customer service from the guy at the bar who served our drinks and brought out our food - rude in his manner, no explaination as to which drinks we had order - they looked the same, sat waiting for cutley because we wasnt aware we had to collect our own or where to collect it from - its just the finer points in customer service that make the experience different and should be taught as standard.

We have just had an excellent family meal at the Old Red Lion in Grenoside. David the owner was attentive, friendly and polite. All the meals served were well cooked and good value for money. Would highly recommend the salt and pepper cod. We will definitely be revisiting in the next couple of weeks.

Been dining here for several years,always great quality food and friendly staff,highly recommend. Reasonable prices and a nice relaxing atmosphere.

Ordered 2 steak meals to be cooked medium rare came medium well done ! Chips were under cooked ! This is where the problems started David stated he was the owner ! Changed meals still not right steaks were blue , and David was not happy to take criticism got very aggressive told would take the meals off our bill as he wasn’t trowing any more steaks at us !!! His words which I said were very rude , then proceeded to give us our bill , still drinking our drinks , asked if he wanted us to leave he said no ! Then why bring the bill , my opinion which I wasn’t entitled to have after all I’m just a customer wasn’t welcome and was perceived as we were looking for a free meal ! Which we didn’t eat , I’m sure I’d have chosen somewhere better than a pub , Iv never had this problem there before but then Iv never encountered David the owner tip to David leave front of house to your staff , and if as you you’ve been there 11 year and never encountered this before I’m going to say your not telling the truth , as a business owner I understand you can’t please everybody. ITS how you deal with it and David was aggressive and wouldn’t let me speak and was extremely confrontational Very disappointed

Very good food friendly staff they looked after us very well

Fabulous service/food as always. Family of 9 for my sons 17th birthday. Very attentive, staff couldn't do enough for us. Really good value with the burger night. Big portions. Quality burgers, my son had a lovely fillet steak. Will return and have done several times. Keep it up.

Went in a group for a celebration meal it was the quiz night as well so pub very busy . Only one lad on the bar so large queue for drinks . Should have had at least 2 on the bar . Menu says home made chips with all meals but they didn’t seem like home made tasteless not nice . How can a medium lenonade cost more than a pint of lager ? £3.50 for a medium lemonade is ridiculous. Food prices far too expensive for the standard they serve up . Would never go back .

Lovely food and friendly helpful staff.

We went to celebrate my grandsons 3rd birthday and were pleasantly surprised. Lovely place, gorgeous food, great atmosphere and nothing was too much trouble for the very attentive staff. We thoroughly enjoyed it, I will definitely be going again and highly recommend it.

The old Red Lion pub was really nice. Food is really good. The staff are very friendly. They do a really good job. It's a really nice place to be very friendly?

great atmosphere, had a carvery to celebrate 🍾 our wedding anniversary

Service exceptional especially served by lynsey food excellent will be calling again and again surf the wave 10out of 10 call to the red lion u won't be disappointed

Hit & miss here & poor service, fish ok,chips a bit stale

A chance visit on the way through Grenoside. Pleased to find the ‘pub favourites’ on offer at two for £26, and delighted to find there was an offer on the offer! Liver and mash a real taste of times gone by for me, lovely food. Good beers available as well, and the service could not have been more welcoming. Next visit will be by design not by accident.

Early in the evening but nice atmosphere not too busy staff very attentive the food was a treat and reasonably priced too

Excellent going back this Thursday with family. Would recommend it to anyone

Book a table for 7 pm took order 715 food arrived 815 I had chicken gogens far to much batter chicken over cooked and I think overpriced nothing special about the food. Had pint of coors larger charged £5.60 a pint town prices not village prices hundred yards down the road coors larger £3.50 a pint. Told by local people expense pub.

Had a lovely meal with 21 of us, and they had catered us on a special occasion. Service was really good. Really enjoyed it

Lovely tasty food, decent portions. Great service. Expensive alcohol prices though

Love this pub…always call here for a pint or two after a walk in grenoside woods. It’s a little gem…Friendly staff and great food. Would highly recommend!

We go every Sunday for late lunch..food is fantastic and staff are amazing..would recommend to everyone.. Darren & Liz

Food excellent, pub quiz challenging and good fun. Parking a bit difficult, but the car park is plenty big enough.

Birthday Party of 12, Pub fairly busy on arrival but several free tables, that cleared soon after arriving, but only 3 waiting staff on, a middle aged lady and 2 younger females, it became obvious they were overwhelmed. We were booked in for 1.30 did a pre order, and had no starter - it took until past 14.00 to get our food and that was because we chased it up. It’s pub food, but non was great some said it wasn’t too bad, but one of the cod’s was too peppery, all the chips were very over cooked, mine was the worst meal, grilled salmon with greens and orange and tarragon sauce + a side order of veg, I didn’t get any greens, I didn’t get any Orange and Tarragon Sauce, the salmon was so dry and over cooked it wasn’t nice, and when I tried to cut into the end pieces it cracked and crumbled like a cracker, they provided peas and green beans, which I believe were frozen, and I can eat neither due to illness, the side of veg I ordered was another dish of green beans/carrots, the complete meal was disgusting. I requested a salad instead of the veg, and it came with no dressing or mayo/salad cream - I was told they do not do salad dressing by the older lady. Apparently someone had asked if meals were OK but shouted it from nearby so only the end 2 people on the table heard and their meals wasn’t too bad, no one else heard it. I called the older Lady over to tell her it was disgusting, who said if you had told me sooner I would have got you something else - no apology, no offer to take it off the bill - I was disgusted! After waiting for more service that didn’t come, we fetched our own desert menus, then had to go and find someone to take the order, deserts were limited to sponge and custard or ice cream, everything else sold out. When I did my pre order I asked if we should pre-order deserts too and was told no. 1 person had treacle Sponge and custard, 1 child had a dry treacle sponge, and one child had a bowl of custard, there was 1 cup of tea and 4 coffees as no one wanted what was on offer. The deserts took a while to come so we had to chase them up as people had to leave for other things. We were all sat for a pre-order of 13.30 and left at 16.40, in that time we had just one course and drinks with 3 deserts, all this time was spent waiting to be served and chasing things up. The bill was for £210.00, there was no offer to knock anything off the bill, normally I would have left a £20 tip but the service and attitude of the older lady was very bad. My plate was nothing like it said on the menu, false advertising, but once put down you were lucky to see staff again unless you chased them. We were in an area away from everyone else, and it made us easy to forget about. It was a shocking experience. It really isn’t difficult to cook a piece of salmon, I did eat it as it was the first I’d had to eat that day but I couldn’t eat anything else, that £2.50 (in Asda) piece of dried up salmon ended up costing me £22. I will not be returning in a hurry if at all.

Visited for lunch after seeing the new fish menu. Unfortunately the overall experience was very disappointing. And an expensive disappointment at that. Firstly, while my friend and I ordered separately we were told that the kitchen would be told to make sure the meals came at the same time. My fish arrived 10 minutes before my friend omelette. I’m sure most chefs should know that the when having pan fried seabass the skin should be crispy. This wasn’t. However the fish did taste nice. The potato’s that came with it were absolutely awful. I do not know what fat these potatoes were cooked in but they tasted and smelt awful. I could not eat them. The menu said ‘greens’ as to what the veg would be. It was frozen peas and boiled carrots. My friend said her omelette was nice. Will be reluctant to return.

No idea how this place gets away with it. Nice enough pub but the pricing is ludicrous ! We mentioned it to the staff and they assured us they didn't drink there themselves either after their shifts. Absolute rip off.

This was a birthday meal with the family, which was marred by the poor standard of food. Some of us had starters, after the starters had finished, we had a wait of around 20 minutes for everyone to get their main meal, the meals arrived only to send back both of the liver and onion meals as the liver on both meals was undercooked and raw. Yes it was busy, but that's no excuse. The staff were understanding and apologised. However due to the long wait one of us decided not to wait a further 20 minutes for their meal so they didn't actually have anything to eat at all. Since the last visit the standard of food is not as before. Due to the amount of time waiting for our meals we all decided not to have desserts and left.

Organised Dad’s 90th birthday here for a Sunday lunchtime. We were a party of 18 and David and the staff looked after us really well. The food was delicious- thank you!

Not sure where to start by here goes.. After our friend booked a table earlier in the week, 7 of us arrived to be told they couldn't find our booking. After waiting around a while, they cobbled together a table for us in a corner. It took ages for someone to come and take our order, only to be told that they'd run out of chips! We were left waiting well over an hour for our food to come, with no staff checking in to see if we were ok. Finally food arrived, but they were so slow, some of us had nearly finished our meals when the rest came out, and at best it was mediocre. The salmon was priced at £20, which is the most expensive I've seen anywhere. It came with some fried new potatoes and a few boiled veg. Our burger came with no onion rings, and the prawn cocktail was shrimps. I will also tell you that if you are vegetarian and allergic to gluten, all that will be on offer to you is a plate of mash potato and boiled veg. Not only this, but if you ask the staff if you can have some more mash, you will basically have it thrown at you by a rude child, who has been screamed at by some other customer during the day who is nothing to do with you, but she thinks its alright to take it out on you. Not only that, the incompetent manager will then try to charge you for 2 extra meals that you didn't have, and then get annoyed with you for pointing it out. He will then add up the bill again and make the same mistake, and then get more annoyed with you because all he wants to do is get you out of there so they can shut the pub early and go home and watch the England match. I felt sorry for the rest of the staff as they were trying to do their best on a busy day, but if you are going to employ children, they need to be trained to be polite to customers in any situation. Although, if you have a 'manager' like the one on the day we came, then it's no surprise that the whole thing was a complete shambles.

Booked for a group of 13 people, the pub was very friendly and welcoming, good selection of beers and drinks. We ordered various food items, every one said how good all the food was with no complaints from anyone. The atmosphere of the pub was good and the service very good. I will definitely be back

Amazing food, and a lovely warm pub. I would highly recommend the hot roast Beef sandwich (light bite). Just the way Grandma made it on boxing day.

good food good selection lovely home made chips real log fire comfy welcoming can also take my yorkie in pub area .

Lovely meal really enjoyed the night.

Amazing food friendly staff good atmosphere

Lovely pub the food was really good

Walked up with my friend and my 2 dogs yesterday. Haven't been in for a long time. Couldn't have been made more welcome. Nothing was too much trouble. The food was excellent and very, very, generous. The doggy boys enjoyed the benefits of that. Had the 2 course lunch menu. It really made our day and a lovely surprise. We shall definitely go again and highly recommend it for others to go too.

Top drawer. 1st time today and what a gem it is

Fine; the type of place you go for something to eat

Food was very good and enjoyed the cider, lovely!

First visit for me , went with a friend who is a regular and had spoken about it a lot 😀 lived up to my expectations!! Lovely place , great food and very helpful and friendly staff. I'll definitely be back .

Similar to the pub in American Werewolf in London...but with nice staff 😆

Popped in for a meal while in Sheffield for the snooker with friends, and so glad we did. The pub is amazing, very family friendly and the staff could not be nicer if the tried.... Nothing was too much trouble for them. The seafood platter I had was stunning, and cooked by Jamie Oliver (no, not that one, although I recon it would be hard to tell the difference 😂). We will be coming back next year for the snooker and this is definitely on our list of places to go back to that's fir sure. If you are looking for a great pub with good beers, amazing food and a brilliant atmosphere, try here... You won't be disappointed 👍

Food was top quality and plenty of it , staff friendly and helpful, feels like a lovely family place

First time here and very impressed food piping hot and presented well and good value for money staff attentive all the time and friendly will be back again when next in Sheffield

Highly Recommended! Great food, huge portions.

Dropped on this lovely pub after a walk in the area. Lovely home cooked food. Had the fish goujon sandwich off the light bite menu at lunchtime. Shared the chips with my friend. The portion was huge. A little gem. Will definitely go back.

Lovely food great service - a little noisy as it was quiz night.

Really Nice Food, Big Meals, Big Nice Place

Nice place and friendly staff, food was great but both food and drinks are over priced

Great country pub, with pub food. Good atmosphere, busy .

Visited The Old Red Lion for Mother’s Day today…we have all really enjoyed ourselves. From start to finish the service was amazing! All staff were smiley, welcoming and made sure we were all happy. The food was fantastic- my favourite was the Sunday roast beef dinner, the meat melted in my mouth it was gorgeous! We will all definitely come again. Thanks Top Red, you have made my first Mother’s Day one to remember!

The food was stunning. All the staff were obviously very busy however we were still accommodated and we all left more than happy. The whole team tried their hardest to work around any issues. It was lovely to see how all off the staff helped eachother in order for our food and service to be top notch. We will defo let be visiting again. Thankyou again.

Went on the 2nd March. Really busy pub. Nice food. Good service. Would recommend 👌

Outstanding food and service every member of the family absolutely loved it.

Went there after the service at the crematorium, very nice place

Went for a walk to the woods and a couple of walkers recommended we go here for a pint after. We managed to get seated for food as well by chance. the Sunday dinner was beautiful just enough on the plate home made puds with a small tray of seasonal veg. Staff were polite and the atmosphere of the pub was very nice. Love the old pubs the best. Nice pint and nice wine. Pub parking at the is really good never seen that big of a car park for a pub that size

Very friendly village pub,welcoming atmosphere especially as fire was lit.Cosy feeling,very different from my last visit which we worked out was just over 50 years ago when I used to live in the village.Staff were very welcoming and efficient, excellent house wine, Good menu,we ordered 2 fish platters and 1 steak and Stilton pie.Fish platters were nicely presented,all parts were delicious 2 large fish goujons,scampi and a fishcake,the size of the small prawn cocktail was a starter size,excellent home cooked chips and mushy peas .All tasted beautifully, My son who is a chef declared the pie as delicious (bonus was they had Henderson's relish ) Excellent outside area with good sized car park,can imagine very popular place on sunny summer afternoons.

We called in for Sunday Lunch because we knew it was dog friendly. The menu has a good choice. We had creamy mushrooms with garlic bread and deep fried halloumi. Both were delicious. Large chunks of halloumi with a nice side salad and chilli dip and the mushrooms were creamy and tasty. I had the beef Sunday Lunch which I couldn’t fault at all. Tender beef and lots of it. Roast and mash potatoes, peas, carrots and cabbage, stuffing and Yorkshire pudding. A good sized portion that I couldn’t finish. My partner had the veggie chilli and this was the only slight let down. The chilli portion was fairly small and if we hadn’t ordered starters would have left them a big hungry. However it’s a nice venue, very homely and the staff were excellent and so friendly.

1st time visit. Excellent find. Will defo return when next out that way.

We hadn’t booked and never been before, but from start to finish the team and atmosphere were very welcoming! Large portions were excellent value for money though neither of us could finish our meals! Food was fresh and delicious. Thank you for making our late Valentine meal out, one that can be enjoyed as a regular treat 🥰

Nice cosy pub, reasonably priced and serves great Sunday lunches.

Went in to look at booking a wake for a funeral that was in a few weeks, spoke to a lovely man called Dave, who sat us down, got cups of teas to talk through dates and price ranges of the different packages. Looking round the pub, it was very light and bright atmosphere, there was a baby shower going off in the bottom near the door of the pub, at the top people were having afternoon dinner. I was looking round and all the food looked really good, and spotted a few doggies. After discussing prices and date with Dave for the wake, we booked and left a deposit. Then we decided to stop and have dinner, we both ordered the roast beef with Yorkshire pudding(see pictures), it was lovely. The staff were brilliant and friendly and food came quick and hot. At the wake, staff were excellent and so accommodating, the buffet was already for us on our arrival, with quick service at the bar for the amount of people that came to celebrate at the wake which was about 50 people. Also with our package we got table chips which were amazing! Just would like to pass on my thanks to the staff for making an emotional day, very memorable! Thanks you!

Excellent service all round for our Funeral meet up..Nibbles/drinks etc..... Thank you...👍

Lovely food and great atmosphere

First visit here. The food was really good,definitely will visit again.

Went for ladies that lunch. There was a big funeral party but we were situated in a quiet snug which was great as we were able to talk. Food was delicious no complaints whatsoever in fact booked again in 4 weeks

Decent place with nice food. I will visit again when in the area

Fantastic food. Fantastic service even though it was very busy (sunday 14th jan) .5 of us went at 4.30 for my mums birthday.( mum isnt easy to please. ) we were all very happy with everything. MAX who served us was an absolute credit to you. Great customer service. Will be back soon.

Always exceptional food and service from Dave and his team

Excellent food made with a passion 💞our go to place now with friendly staff and A1 service.thankyou Xx

Great food and the staff are great. They were very accommodating and couldn’t help with my gluten intolerance. One of the best local places. I’m already planning another visit.

I went with some friends for our Christmas lunch get together so we had the Christmas lunch at £18 a head, we arrived for our 12.30 booking took our seat I looked at the menu that was offered & I didn't like either of the 2 sandwich fillings offer turkey with cranberry & cheese with chutney so I spoke to the waiter that was serving us drinks told him this & asked if they could do me 2 alternative fillings, he went away & a minute later a man arrived at our table introducing himself as the duty manager & was there a problem I told him about my sandwich issue asking if I could have an alternative & I was rather took aback by his response of no so I asked if they didn't have anything else available to offer me & he said that wasn't the case he just couldn't change the sandwiches for me as they plates were already made up & if I had a special dietary requirement then I should have let them no to which I responded it wasn't a dietary request just what I thought wsx a simple change but apparently not so this definitely didn't leave our party with a very good opinion of this person's customer service skills so i just told him to leave it. Then to add to our dissatisfaction I realised after we had left that we also did not get the pigs in blankets that were part of the menu. All in all not the best experience I've had from this establishment.

Disappointing afternoon tea and cold inside

Really nice staff, great food (massive portions) and a good atmosphere.

Terrible from the very start. Person taking our order (who I believe was the manager) seemed like everything was a little too much hassle for him, no customer service. Ordered our starters which were the Yorkshire puddings-they were Aunt Bessie’s, frozen and tiny.l (to say they were charging top dollar for it). Mains, which was a roast, meat was dry, mashed potato was lumpy, 1 roast potato (?!!) and hardly any veg to say there was 6 of us. Dessert took 45 minutes to come out, they told us because they had printer problems? Yet all the staff could see we hadn’t been served for 45 minutes… they came back out to tell us 1 of the desserts were no longer available… everyone eventually got their order apart from one, who got served there’s after everyone else had finished and plates got taken away.. only after we complained they told us they give us 4 out of the 5 desserts for free… at that point you’d think they wouldn’t charge us for that… We had come to visit a few months prior and service was shocking but thought we’d give them the benefit of the doubt… won’t be going back!

Amazing, great service and perfect home cooked food. Definitely brilliant for great meal. 🖤

Thank you for a lovely meal you did so well to say there was 14 of us. Lovely meal fantastic cheese cake

Fantastic 2 and 3 course Christmas meal for a group of 19 people. The staff were very attentive and made sure each person received their ordered food. Excellent , well cooked and presented food. No complaints. Able to park in car park. (Despite snow). Pleasant atmosphere using the snug. Will definitely be booking for Christmas 2024.

Called in for a drink after a walk in the nearby woods. Staff were disinterested and looked like they couldnt be bothered. We didnt feel particually welcome so drank up and left. Will try another pub next time we are in Grenoside.

Didn't try the food, pleasant atmosphere but the John Smiths gave me the runs. Next time I will have something else.

Really nice food, service, we'll be back ...thank you.

Only stopped in for a morning coffee after a long walk but was a nice little treat.

The only thing that I didn't like was the coffee otherwise it was lovely.

Had Sunday lunch today with a friend was the best Sunday lunch we had both had in ages. Thank you xxx

Really enjoyed the steak and stilton pie

We went for the lunchtime menu which was basically the same but smaller portions. So glad we did as the portion was still more than enough. The plates were more like bowls and fortunately in Yorkshire we love our gravy and it was delicious. The staff were very attentive and knowledgeable and made for an enjoyable experience.

Such a lovely pub. Fantastic customer service. Lovely food and afternoon teas are great. Can get busy. Would highly reccomend it.

This is our second time in in a few days. I had the fish & chips last time. Very good. Tonight I had the bacon burger. I highly recommend it. Definitely one of the best burgers I've had. I'm a visiting American and will come back when I return.

Great meal and great service! The food was exceptional, best burger I have had in awhile, as good as any burger I have had back home in the States :). Well done Team!

We went to eat here today with my dog. The staff and manager made us feel so welcome. A lot of places will say that they are dog friendly and then only let you sit outside or in a stuffy corner but this place is NOT like that! They even made his food dog friendly. Food was so tasty and affordable. Lovely ambiance and service!

£6 for two halves of draught coke? Just appalling. You'd expect to be stung like this in a city centre if you were unfortunate. Nasty suprise in a village pub.

Excellent food, very tasty, piping hot when it came out to the table. Didn't have to wait long following our order being put in. Friendly atmosphere. Would definately recommend, will be returning again soon

The “Top Red” is a great pub and our ‘go to’ when we are in Grenoside. It’s just on the edge of the woods so it’s location is great if you are walking, cycling or returning. There’s loads of space inside with cosy nooks which is ideal for a drink with friends or a meal. They cater for couples, groups and special occasions for big gatherings. The menu is varied and the food is great quality. Drinks are reasonably priced too. There’s always a great atmosphere and you’re always made welcome. Above all, the team are really skilled, efficient, attentive and go out of their way to give you great service. Definitely visit the Top Red if you’re going to be in the vicinity.

Catered for our mum's 90th birthday at short notice and couldn't fault them, food delicious, staff were all brilliant made us feel very welcome. Will definatley be visiting again. Thank you.

Second visit: We ordered a starter as a main, along with 2 burgers, and a portion of chips to go with the prawn cocktail. This was for three of three of us, and told the woman behind the bar that we wanted it all together, as one of us didn't want as much food, so wouldn't be having a main. The prawn cocktail arrived on it's own. Minor point, but we were asked if we wanted cutlery. I'd have been interested in seeing how we managed to tackle a prawn cocktail without that. Or the burgers that should have arrived. The prawn cocktail was eaten very slowly, as 2 of our party were missing food, and the chips intended for the prawn cocktail. After some time we had to say, you can bring out the burgers, we asked for them to be brought together. After 5 minutes we were told they would be a further 5 minutes. 10 minutes after that, they arrived. The food was fine, but still no chips for the prawn cocktail. The onion rings were missing from both burgers as well. After a while, the chips arrived, the manager said I have no idea why these are so late. We thought it was ridiculous, and decided to immediately take them back out of principle. The same woman behind the bar grinned from ear to ear in a very child like, patronising way and said that the manager would have to deal with it. He immediately said he was already taking it off the bill. Why not tell us that at the table. At this point we were just holding back the anger at the way we'd been treated, considering the cost and general expectations that people shouldn't be rude. We quickly finished what food arrived, and went to pay. Whilst paying the same woman is looking over smirking, finding pleasure in the way we had been treated, and how rude she was. The manager should have handled the situation much better, and she should not be in a public facing role. We left angry, not wanting to make a scene. We should have done. We previously recommended the pub to our family, who have now been informed not to go here, honestly disgusting. We will not be back. First visit: Food was a little mixed but easily fixed. Unfortunately there was way too much salt in the mash. And when it's one of the main components of a dish, it can slightly ruin a meal. (sausage and mash). We will likely return, just please take this constructively. Will adjust the review on the return, if all is fine.

Lovely food and a great place. They allow dogs in so ideal if you're calling in after a walk
