Sheffield Waterworks Company Lloyds no.1 in Sheffield

Sub-Standard Wetherspoons experience, but cheap and cheerful and does the job. Take alcohol gel as the toilets are rank and soap was empty across multiple dispensers. Not fantastic access for wheeled visitors.

Urinals were flooded and the toilet was a paddling pool. Beer was ok

This experience was "Service With A Scowl" The particular waitress (slim build,blonde t-section & dark hair underneath) that served us our drinks, firstly slammed the drinks down on the table, with a scowl on her face. The waitress was impolite, rude & abrupt.We don't know (without guessing) why the waitress was so inhospitable towards my wife,daughter & me, but I am sure she does !! The food was average,The toilets were also a disgrace, my wife described them as smelling like an abattoir !! I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone & would never choose to ever visit here again.

Busy but served quite quickly rest just what you'd expect from wetherspoons pubs

Warm environment and music is at just the right level. Staff were very welcoming and friendly. Only letdown was the sanitary areas.

Great pub atmosphere abd wide range of beers (draft or not) Service could be improved, a waiter was kind of rude to some customers

A busy Spoons with slow service (much slower than the app estimate) and cold food. I'd try the others nearby before returning

It's a chain joint so you know what to expect. My food was cold on arrival. The floors were still being cleaned on opening. It's cheap, it was open early, that's what we went for.

Like most pub's in town they are for the young people. Ok for me up to about 6 then time for me to go home.

Worst service by staff !!!!! when we ordered food from QR code it was cancelled by the restaurant and money went from the bank account we asked for reorder but they refused at 11:00pm. I was standing more than 40 min to inquire but they ignored many times to solve the problem even manager doesn’t know about the issue she said ask for money to bank not to us ! They spoiled the night ! Also WiFi was not working properly to order the food!

Always visit here when in town visiting Sheffield Hall as it's only next door, staff very friendly couldn't fault it.

Central WetherSpoons. As you would expect

We've visited this place at Saturday afternoon, and it was incredibly crowded. I wouldn't have any problem with that, if not for a fact that people were very loud. I couldn't hear my own thoughts, so forget to talk to your company unless you like to yell at each other like most people seemed to do there. I can't say anything about food, because we didn't order anything due to the fact that we couldn't enjoy our time. However I've seen what other people had, and it seemed nice. Service wasn't perfect, but wasn't far from it, and especially big appreciation from me to them for being able to work with enthusiasm in such environment. Overall I'd say it's a nice place, but not my type to spend Saturday afternoon.

Bartender was extremely rude, told a lady to shut up when trying to order a drink. Won’t be coming again.

Exactly what you'd expect from a Wetherspoons in terms of decent food and cheap but also excellent service. Well done guys.

Popped in for pint and bite to eat at a busy Saturday lunchtime. Waited nearly an hour for food to arrive before noticing later arrivals had already had their food served. After notifying member of staff I was told my app food order had been lost because of network issues in the kitchen. To be fair to Wetherspoons, they put things right straight away. I got a free second pint plus immediately and when food eventually arrived, the portions were more 'generous' than expected, which was a nice gesture. Couldn't fault the customer service on this occasion re putting things right. I only wish I'd mentioned the missing food earlier.

Great place for some cheap drinks in the heart of sheffield

Great pub, music is at the perfect level. Loud enough to enjoy but not too loud where it affects your conversations.

Wouldn’t accept a perfectly valid ID, Manager was rude and arrogant. Been here multiple times with no issues but customer service was abysmal.

Food was really good and ipa went down a treat really enjoyed it

Lovely food hot when it came good service

Nice bar. Very inexpensive food and drinks. Lots of food options. Food was ok. Drinks were decent. Plenty places to sit.

My oh my, whatta guy! I ordered a coupla these hella strong pear ciders (made from 100% pear), not only were they stronger than an Ox's gluteous maximus; they were as sweet as a trickle of olympean nectar. My man the bartender, not sure of his name but from his noble features I could tell he was of the blood of old Valyria, offered me two for £5.90 AND offered to keep my second one in the fridge till I was ready. Eventually after suppin' the first I summoned Old Val with a glance, promptly my second beverage arrived ready, crisp, cold, condensation drippings from the neck of the bottle, for my eager consumption. 10/10, 5* out of 5, come get bevvied at Loyds!

I ordered a classic steak and chips, medium. I received this very dry and well done steak. The poor staff were very busy, and I did not want to bother them on such a busy night, but poor food quality here

Fairly meh, food arrived barely above room temperature, the loaded chips were anything but loaded for £6 poor value for money. Sent them back came back with more toppings but nuked and greasy. Staff were okay, pub was okay, tables were wet and sticky. Cheap booze, shame the food wasn't at least hot, you expect standard level food but you want it fresh and hot.

Excellent service in a great spot in the centre of the city

Alright. Indoors sucks but outdoors space has decent vibes

Classic Wetherspoons. Nothing crazy, but what you expect. They had the Steak Club on Tuesday which was quite nice. You can choose a soft drink or alcoholic drink to go with it (more expensive with the alcohol). Also depending on the sides it can be cheaper. Restaurant seemed clean and service was friendly.

Classic Wetherspoons, very maze like

Noisy, grotty dump. Not enough staff. Dirty glasses everywhere and ages getting served. Even cheap ale can't save it.

Wetherspoons pub. Great food, good value

I went here for a drink. We used the app and it took ages to come. In future I would go to the bar. On the plus side, it was Saturday night and it was a great atmosphere. I didn't have any food so can't comment on that.

Went to The Water Works last night and was served by Mikayla (sorry if I spelt the name wrong) super friendly and recommended a cocktail that was fab. Thank you.

Typical spoons experience. Drinks came quickly to say how busy it was on a Friday night! Nice outside seating area, plenty of space!

Service was a bit slow but the breakfast itself was worth waiting for. (Large vegetarian)

Just a great pub to visit if you're in Sheffield

Go for breakfast quite early and regularly 😋 Always a smile but hate it at night being disabled and dealing with nobs that can't handle ale properly! Don't have steaks in any spoons! All like shoe 👞 leather

Me dieron la bebida equivocada y le pedí a la gerente que la cambiara y ella dijo que no puede porque había bebido un sorbo de la bebida, luego comenzó a ser montada y luego me dijo que me fuera.

Gave me stale burger, had a bad tummy ache

Didn't eat so cannot comment about food. Extremely slow service there were 6 bar staff serving however it was not busy to warrant waiting over 20 minutes yo be served. I moved to the opposite end of the bar due to waiting 20 minutes and was told bluntly by a female member of staff to move as I was stood on the wrong place. I apologised and advised I had been waiting 20 minutes further down which is why I had moved. I observed her to roll her eyes as she ignored my comment. Had i not been with a large group of friends some who had already gotten drinks I would have left due to the poor customer service. When I eventually was served the bottle of Peroni I did buy for my partner was warm I asked for a cold one or a replacement as it was warm I was refused. I will not visit this venue again if this is the service. I work a high stressed and busy job but I would never speak to clients abruptly or ignore them manners cost nothing!

Can be a bit of a daunting atmosphere ( not the staff's fault but Sheffield is not a nice place to visit at the moment)

It's a weatherspoons so you know what to expect food wise but this is a great pub in a good location in the city centre

Busy every visit but still decent service. Bought on the app. Easy.

Great location, not much of a selection of ales. Had alot on the wall but nothing was on. Very expensive for a pint compared to close pubs

Food nice and warm not too keen on the music though 🤔

Sub standard san miguel cheaper round cornet

Manager gaslit me into thinking she gave me my drink when she didn’t, I literally had all my receipts and she didn’t even talk to me face to face when I asked for her. Manager was blonde in a ponytail, It was 12 July 2024, Friday night 9-10pm

It’s a great bar except for the service is terrible, 8 staff behind the bar, 2 serving and people queueing to get served at the bar. Why not just stand at the bar like we have done for decades in this country. It makes it really hard to enter and exit the bar and move around in side. It’s barmy.

Its ok for price, but that's it really. Toilet upstairs , table not cleared had to do it myself. It attracts a lot of homeless people outside. Overall it was ok had nice meal

Visited the place last Sunday.. it was a bit quiet...was greeted very well by a guy named Ashish. Service over the counter was impeccable and the food was good. Will defo visit again

Hands up, I’m not a Wetherspoons fan but my son at uni convinced me it’s a cool place to hang out and he is right! Housed in a beautiful building with a delightful terrace complete with fountain view, I must say the venue is great! Even more so, we were extremely pleased with our half roast chicken and burger meals, cooked to perfection with great food presentation. Drinks are cheap as Wetherspoons is known for, so am pleased to have our Leffe Blonds at 2/3 or half the price compared to other venues. To top it all off, we had excellent service from every staff who dealt with us! Super well done guys, keep up the great work! We are looking forward to more sessions at yours in the future, definitely a Wetherspoons leader!

Perfect example of a well-run Wetherspoons. Professional staff, great quality food and drinks delivered in good time, and an all-round great venue!

Great food, great atmosphere and friendly staff

Great pub, will definitely be returning! Would recommend

Really friendly staff. Great city centre beer garden for the summer months

Love the atmosphere, the staff are all lovely. My meal comes right on time EVERYTIME!!! Easily best spoons in Sheffield. The pub manager is a barrel of laughs every time I walk in also. 5 STARS FROM ME.

Fantastic atmosphere and the staff are always friendly to! Myself and a few friends always go on the Tuesdays as they have a steak offer for that day! Great quality in food and always cooked the way I've asked, would definitely recommend!

I work as a cleaner at the waterworks pub and the atmosphere is great. A very friendly atmosphere. The food is very nice and always presented well. The service is great.

Another unusual Wetherspoons. I always like to find a Wetherspoons when we are on our travels. Not the most usual building we have come across but all the same interesting. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Food was good as usual. Table's were clean and tidy. Usual good standard. Another one for our list.

G reat . Nice pint at a cracking price

The service was awful and racist. We were asked to leave because my friend (with ID) bought a beer for me (without ID but obviously of legal age). We were ready to leave and did not complain, but he kept threatening us that he will call the police and let other pubs know even if we go back to get our ID. So retro I thought I was in 1950s Africa.

Service was shocking swore as she placed food on table as plate was hot. Curry was nice but quite runny and there was a bit of plastic lid from the container in it which became apparent towards the end of eating. All other elements not great, nann cold, poperdoms covered in mucky grease. Samosas and onion bhaji over cooked on outside but raw and cold in middle. Not even asked if things were OK when clearing away even though they could see a lot was left. Then asked to replace shoes as taken off and you have to be fully clothed in a weather spoons. Less vidulant when clearing tables as empties were left with us after staffs comment on shoes. Staff are unpolite. After a while items were removed by what later seemed to be an area manager (will explain shortly). Stated he would get a manger to speak to us and then proceeded to sit and discuss the decor of the pub while looking directly at us. Not a great experience. Won't return.

Got to be the slowest of all the spoons, still use the queue system that some ignore causing chaos. Sticky tables

Great day sat al fresco enjoying the summer at last everyone in a great happy mood.

Classic Spoons. Cheap but decent drinks. Cheap but really tasty fish and chips. Showing the Euros football too which was a bonus as you don't usually get live sport in Wetherspoons.

Just your typical wetherspoons. Cheap pints and not bad grub for price!

Only Wetherspoons that has music on in the city centre. I meet my step dad here every week for a catch up. Great service and fantastic prices.

Nice seating area inside,and beer garden's relaxing

It's an okay bar for a Saturday afternoon drink.

Visited this morning for breakfast with friends and I won’t be returning. The eggs on the breakfast looked liked they been run over and the breakfast as a whole was cold. I feel that the kitchen staff need more training. The toilets looked like they not been cleaned in days.

Decent city centre pub ( owned by weatherspoons) music good selection of beer ).

Waiting for service people jumping queue !!!

Excellant pint , food atmosphere and location.

This place has always been Lloyds and not the water works brilliant prices ideally location next door to city hall

Go in here every Monday and Tuesday staff are brilliant and friendly can't fault them best spoons I've been in

The food was good, same as any other spoons. The service was appaling, I have never been so mistreated as a paying customer. The staff was incredibly short with me, she later went and started talking to the rest of the staff while looking at me and made me incredibly uncomfortable to the point of tears. Do not go here if you don't want to be gossiped about.

£2.80 for a pint of doom bar. Nothing else really to say. Looks ok. Service is good. Food is the usual fair but on the cheaper side.

The menu is always absolutely abysmal as they usually have only half of the options available (both drink and food). This visit the fryer was broken so couldn't have the things we came here for. The tables are always dirty and service is incredibly slow, only come for the convenience of the location. EDIT: Dont know why I ever return except for ease but it's always a terrible experience. This time we ordered pizza, 10 minutes later "we've run out of dough" so changed for a cheese burger. Burger arrived with onion on the plate not on burger and n o c h e e s e. How? They fixed it by bringing me a slice of cheese on its own private plate. Laughably incapable.

Abigail more focused on her boyfriend than serving customers. Also refused us cocktails when other staff members were serving their friends.

Only Spoons I have ever been in that has piped pap ! Don't need it. Won't be back.

Yeh nice pub just wish they could sell kronenbourg

Extremely family friendly, lovely and decent facilities.

Partner used the ladies toilets, absolutely disgusting. Stink or urine, not been cleaned, toilet seats missing, absolutely revolting and no excuse really. Doesn’t take much to check them regularly and give them a swill out! Shame as the pub itself is in a fabulous building which used to be lovely and it really does spoil it!

Very busy Saturday morning, drinkers and diners coming and going with ease.

Nice and friendly staffs but the bar is Very busy all the time and also seems like they never have enough staffs, have to wait really long time for drinks..

Great choice of beers at a good price

Nice atmosphere busy at weekends would recommend

Got far too pissed up but what I can remember it was good. Its our go to bar. My friends a strongbow original drinker and there's not many bars that do it. Plus it's cheap as chips

Met some old work colleagues in there and we stayed all night. Table service was fine, and the loaded chips we shared amongst ourselves were really good.

It's a Wetherspoons. It's cheap

Variety of food which is of good quality. All types of drinks cold and hot. Value for money if you visit . Friendly staff. This is all what you need.

25 mins on a Friday afternoon to get served at the bar. Bar staff oblivious to the order of the queue, people walking out due to waiting so long, what a shambles ...if you want a drink before your show at Sheffield City Hall, don't go here you will miss the show

Sticky floor at the bar can't take away from friendly and polite staff, cheap drinks and good food.

Excellent city centre location, perfect for a City Hall visit. Friendly staff and one of the nicest pizzas that I have eaten in a long time, fresh and tasty with a lovely thin and perfectly cooked base. Every mouthful was a treat. Thank you.

It's witherspoons, so you'll always get good value

Great place. Affordable food and drinks Bonus you got music on as well

The place could do with a good clean especially the light fixtures as we couldn't help noticing the cobwebs and dust.

We visited Sheffield for the weekend and decided to eat at Sheffield Waterworks. The pub was lively but we were still served promptly. The bar staff were polite and attentive and our food arrived relatively quickly for a busy, city centre pub. I think the food was good value for money and we would definitely eat here again.

This was one of, if not the best Wetherspoons I’ve been in terms of service. I was happily surprised! Super fast and attentive service.

Ideally situated for Sheffield City Hall - travelled in by tram for a show and needed a meal beforehand (& it was pouring !!). A Weatherspoons pub, so you know exactly what you're getting - good value food/coffee. Friendly staff, clean and great venue, if a bit noisy !! Unfortunately the toilets weren't great - not clean and smelly - otherwise all good.
