The Broadfield in Sheffield

Was my local for years, but went foodie and has never been the same

Sunday dinner was really nice and plentiful could have done with a more cauliflower cheese or better still an option for a side order

Food was lovely - pie, chips & peas! Washed down with a bottle of prosecco. Unfortunately, even though booking was essential we were told to sit wherever we liked. Fine 🙂 The staff brought food and left, they didn't check if everything was alright - which is traditional for most eating places. They also left us with dirty plates for a while whilst they sat & had a drink with each other. We had to request the bill with no offer of dessert - although we would have declined due to being so full from pie! I would recommend as the food & decor but I'd recommend the staff be more engaged with customers & a mix of music rather than older ones.

We've always loved the broadfield. Had a birthday celebration today in the upstairs private dining area. The room was gorgeous and it meant we could have children in there without restrictions on them moving around freely. The staff were so accommodating, lovely and patient. The food was delicious. Thanks so much to the fab team.

Go every year for the festive menu, and it never disappoints. Other times of the year, you'll get one of the best pies or Sunday roasts available..

We're not local but we've been visiting here for many years. One blip 18 months ago which was dealt with admirably by Ellen. Just returned and happy to report everything back to normal high standard. Great all round. Toddler with us catered for extremely well. I can wholeheartedly recommend the Broadie to everyone.

fabulous, it's always fabulous!

A great pub with friendly staff and excellent choice of beers

Great Sheffield Pub, large beer garden, nice and chill atmosphere

The place to go for a home cooked Sunday lunch. Amazing food as always

Good choice of food, reasonable price and very well liked by the locals

My mom has allergies to pork and rosemary. They made us aware what my mom could have so they said she couldn’t have roast potatoes, mash or the meat gravy. They said she could only have brisket beef aswell with chips and the veggies n veg gravy. The beef wasn’t nice so my mom asked for a burger instead and it wasn’t cooked properly. My sirloin beef was very fatty hardly any lean meat on the slices. The 2 meals cost £42 with 2 drinks which i thought was quite pricey

I've had a really tough time with work lately so headed to The Broadfield for a treat. Food was amazing and staff were absolutely brilliant. They made me feel relaxed and happy for the first time in weeks. A special shout out to Georgina, who was particularly lovely. Despite a really long shift she made us feel utterly and effortlessly at home. Having spent a summer in horrible hotels across the country, I am so grateful to live in walking distance of such a lovely pub, in such a wonderful city that I call home. To those in charge of True North: depart from this at your peril, because it's perfect as it is, a true Sheffield institution!

Pie was fantastic as usual, although chunky chips were not up to the usual standard.

The food was so good I smashed it into my face without even taking photos. We went for Sunday lunch. Ordered the vegan carvery, a few different meat carvery, gluten free fish & chips and vegetarian "sausages" mash & gravy. The latter was a sort of Glamorgan sausage and was thoroughly enjoyed. We also had drinks and over half of us had dessert. Nice atmosphere , friendly helpful staff, great range of drinks and food, good value. The beer garden is nice and has plenty of space & outdoor seating for nice weather & dining al fresco.

Had a wonderful birthday celebration today, the whole family agreed, from the food the private room and the service it was exceptional. Thank you very much

We returned once again and we were delighted to see Ellen and team were working last night they made us most welcome as always and we decided not to have our usual pies I had chicken Milanese and it was delicious and great value Thank you all for a great evening David

I pen this letter with a heavy heart and an overwhelming sense of betrayal. As a loyal patron of The Broadfield for many years, I have always held your establishment in the highest regard. The food—oh, the food! It was once the stuff of legends. But alas, that golden age has passed, and I fear The Broadfield has plunged into a culinary abyss from which it may never return. Let us first address the tragedy of your chips. These were no ordinary chips; they were art. Beautiful, thick, golden blocks of potato, stacked on my plate like the finest Jenga tower. Crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, they were the very essence of comfort and satisfaction. But now? What travesty has befallen them? What you now serve as chips are nothing more than the pallid, lifeless shells of what they once were. They resemble those sad, flavorless oven chips one might find languishing in the back of a freezer aisle, desperately clinging to memories of when they were actual potatoes. What was once a noble side dish has been reduced to a pitiful afterthought. And then there is the pie—a cornerstone of British cuisine, and once, a shining star on The Broadfield’s menu. I remember the days when your beef pies were brimming with succulent, tender chunks of beef, enveloped in rich, savory gravy. It was a meal fit for a king. But now, what remains? A scant filling, of poultry! The pastry is still there, but where is the heart? Where is the soul? Where is the beef?! In short, The Broadfield has committed a grave disservice to its customers by allowing these once-iconic dishes to fall so far from grace. It is as if the very spirit of your kitchen has withered away, leaving behind only the ghost of the food that once brought joy to so many. I can no longer in good conscience recommend your establishment to others, nor can I bear the thought of enduring another meal so bereft of flavor, substance, and care. I implore you to reconsider the path you have chosen. Return to the days when your food was made with love, when your chips were towers of potato perfection, and your pies were hearty feasts worthy of praise. Do not let The Broadfield's reputation wither and die, as your chips and pies have done. Yours, with a profound sense of loss and disappointment

How the mighty have fallen. Broadfield pies and chips used to be a Sheffield institution. The chips are now like bad Aunt Bessie's roast potatoes, and the pies aren't great. I feel like they should be a conservation order on the old style pies and chips to preserve this institution for future generations. The Broadfield, please go back to the old way!

1st time here, nice little pub. Friendly staff, clean. Dogs friendly

Went there with my girlfriend and we both had the Sunday lunch with the vegetable wellington. We arrived just after 2pm without a booking and were seated within 10 minutes. Absolutely delicious! It was described as cheesy, and usually with dishes like this you’ll get a hint of cheese, but it was a very strong taste! Giant homemade yorkshire pudding. Lots of different vegetables. Roast potatoes were perfectly roasted. We both opted for desserts. I had an ice cream, which while delicious was a bit small. My girlfriend had a blueberry cheesecake (which I tried) and really enjoyed. Very intrigued by the Supper Club poster. “Fables and Fairy Tales” for Halloween sounds exciting. Sad to have missed the “Invasive Species” evening which sounds really intriguing…

We just had a drink in the beer garden; nice relaxed atmosphere, great music selection playing, not too loud.

The food was excellent, I had the mushroom and stilton loaf roast dinner, it came with a variety of veg, Yorkshire pudding and cauliflower cheese 🤤 We requested extra gravy and this was no trouble. The blueberry and lemon baked cheesecake was delicious too. Prices were reasonable and the service was quick which was a relief as we were very hungry! We'll definitely be returning.

Love this place, consistent with quality and experience

Really enjoyed the Sunday roasts here! Food is excellent and save some space for deserts. Service is excellent and friendly.

Great selection of local and import beers, nice beer garden and great if slightly expensive food. Great staff

Came here for the first time at the weekend and it was a brilliant venue. The beer garden was really spacious and ideal for anyone attending in big groups.

Called in on Saturday for some festival beers. Even though it was busy, the staff were attentive, friendly and helpful. Beer was decent as well.

This place always feels comfortable. I'm not one for pubs, but this place has a really nice vibe to it, and I'm really glad my friends introduced me to it. Love the cocktails ! And the kind staff as well

Great service fabulous food. We love the different vegetarian options. Always really friendly staff.

Excellent, it is a typical Sheffield bar, great atmosphere, multiple beers to taste

A traditional pub with a wide selection of beers.

We had a wonderful afternoon as a large group in the function room at The Broadfield. The pies were fantastic, the choice of beer superb and cocktails sublime. The staff were incredibly attentive and friendly, shout out to Ellen who did a fantastic job of looking after us all.

The Sunday roast I have just eaten was amazing, lots of flavour. One of the best I have eaten in my life

Having been here many times over the years and enjoyed the food, drinks selection and atmosphere, I felt truly let down on our recent visit. I made the mistake (?) of returning a drink to the bar and explained that it looked/tasted strange. I’ve had plenty of these types of drinks before and felt something wasn’t quite right. Though the bar staff member changed it for me, their rudeness (verging on confrontational manner/harsh tone) was unacceptable. At least our food was good, though we worked out that the mushy peas had been hidden under the chips because they had dried out. Food has not been quite as good over the last 6 months. Though the front of house staff were pleasant, no one came to take an order for more drinks. I made another (?) mistake in going to the bar to get them…. It was the same bar staff member who had scowled and been rude earlier - whoops! When I tried to order, I was told in a very cold/harsh tone (just as before) ‘I’m making a cocktail, go to the (front of house) staff and they’ll put it on your bill’. I had to bite my lip, as there were a few things I wanted to tell her at this point.. Have therefore decided we’ll be going elsewhere for a while and hope to see staff who have customer service skills if/when we ever return. Elsa (I think that’s your name? Dark wavy/curled shoulder length hair) you’ll find the words ‘please’ and ‘thank you’ go a long way - learning to use them will serve you well.

Nice Sunday lunch. But only 3 roast tattys is a bit mean.

Excellent food. Great service. Wonderful value

Went for Sunday lunch. Food was excellent and generous. Great service and a fantastic choice of beers.

We really enjoyed Sunday roasts, including the vegan in our party. Warm friendly service, comfy seating and great food. Real ales on draught were great too. Definitely somewhere we will look forwards to returning to.

Incredible food in large portions, lovely local beers, fantastic service. I would say 9/10 because surely nowhere can be 10/10, but then there was a squirrel that watched us eat from the window sill……… so 10/10 then!

A really lovely pub, with good food, atmosphere and attentive staff

Great Food, Great Quality Beers and Brilliant Atmosphere

Really nice vibe. The pub has an area for meals and then an area for drinks and snacks - atmosphere great in both. Big beer garden outside. Really attentive service when eating there, and helpful bar staff who are happy to help with recommendations for drinks. Really wide ranging selection of drinks too - lots of good beers and ales.

Not been for a couple of years but used go often as the pies and Sunday lunch were great and good value. What a disappointment it was on Sunday especially as we had been telling our guests how good was. I think they may have changed suppliers for pies as there was no comparison to what they used to be. Smaller, small pieces of tough meat and gloopy gravy, tasteless mushy peas. Chips were good. Roast beef quite fatty. Following this experience I will not be returning. Shame as I used to love the pies.

Quick pint. Early doors "Barnsley Gold". Lovely beer.

For years we’ve told people that this is one of our favourite pubs and we’ve always been keen to bring visiting friends and family in for food and drinks. We gave up on the food a while ago after a few disappointing meals but we’ve continued to come in regularly for drinks. Unfortunately, after our visit last Saturday, we think it’s time to move on as it just resembled a badly organised, overcrowded and untidy children’s party venue. Sorry to be negative but we just haven’t felt comfortable recently. We know you can’t be all things to all people so we do wish you success in the future. We’re just sad to give up on you.

The food was good. The beer was excellent. Staff were great too.

Booked a table to have dinner with a lovely friend. Enough people inside to make it interesting, but not over crowded. Had a lovely table, very clean, fabulous menu, difficult to decide what to have to eat, as I haven't been here for a number of years. We were spoilt rotten, lovely bottle of wine to share. My friend had the fish and chips, where as I decided I needed a pie, opted for the Ruby Port and Venison, omg, it was so worth waiting for, and didn't disappoint either. We didn't have a starter or a pud, just felt full, yet comfortable. Attentive staff, very good service, food hot, looked attractive on the plate. I'd definitely recommend, and I shall not be leaving it as long before I return. Thankyou team Broadfield.

A first visit and very impressed, generous portions of lovely home cooked food in a relaxing atmosphere. Our server was brilliant, really looked after us, I wish I'd asked his name now as he deserves a big shout out. Would highly recommend this pub!

First time in this pub as suggested by my friend - we had drinks - a really nice pub with great service and people were friendly thank you

We’ve been a lover of the broadfield for many years and it’s always been great. Today was the worst The chips with the pie tasted like nothing apart from lard . The burger was really nice but was a kids portion including the fries for £15 absolutely disgusting . We won’t be eating again anytime soon. The staff were great . Feel sorry for them serving substandard food for premium prices

Decent selection of beers but can be very busy

Really good choice for Sunday lunch , good choice of non- meat dishes and all cooked really well. Good value and portion size.

Great pies and a great selection of beer

What a delight to go into a pub & have genuine friendly, smiley & helpful staff from absolutely everyone. We'd booked a table for lunch & ordered king prawns starter to share & then my friend had a venison pie which she said was gorgeous & I had chicken schnitzel, really tasty & crunchy. We had a couple of 🍷 carmenere, very good wine choice & finished off with a stunning cheese board & one of the nicest chocolate pots I've ever had. We left full as frogs 😂 Thankyou Broadfield, you really made us feel welcome & we look forward to returning.

Didn't dine this evening, but as four guy's having an evening out without the ladies, enjoyed the quiz and the atmosphere 👍

I together with family and friends have been eating and drinking here for almost 10 years ( excluding covid ) at our previous visit we were a little disappointed, not complaining, with the choice of pies I sent an email to Ellen and she sent a very nicely worded response We visited last week the choice of pies was superb and they tasted even better lovely staff and very well run and organised pub highly recommended Thank you all David

Service impeccable, food was excellent. Bit of a mix up with the food, I did not specify one of the roasts was vegan so 100% my fault. The amazing (short brown hair) lady came over and apologised. No hassle with the swap whatsoever. Will be back again.

Very dissapointed chips were raw in the middle steak was over cooked tough and cold (and £25!)overall not very impressed with our meals today… 1pm and ran out of most items on the menu and decided to split a dish into two dishes to try and tend to everyone’s needs members of our table eat here often and were annoyed their dish was cut in half and served to two people deffo not a let’s rush to come again because it was great it was very disappointing

Fab cocktails, lovely chilled Saturday night out locally with friends. 🍸

Really friendly bar staff. Great Rum selection

Great food, wonderful service, top evening out

Lovely meal and great atmosphere. Looking forward to coming back.

First time visit, wonderful food, staff, service and atmosphere. Great selection of cocktails, beers and whiskies....will definitely be returning.

It's a great pub, brilliant staff and excellent atmosphere. The food quality just gets better and better!

Top service, great food - ideal for coeliacs!

I’ve had some very nice pies here and some very nice Sunday dinners elsewhere and I have to say today, though the beef duo was a good shout, I think we were victims of the Sunday rush. Food was lukewarm, and service was too to be honest. Lots of staff about but barely a smile, not attentive at all, not even saying a word when bringing over drinks. I’m sure it was a one off but overall I feel for what we were paying for Sunday dinner it would have been cheaper tastier and friendlier at a branded pub carvery, which isn’t really what The Broadfield is about I thought

Excellent pub, good atmosphere and good music. Didn't have a meal but the food looked really good.

Had a great evening at the Broadfield the pies were so good as ever never disappoint

Lush pint of guinness and great vegan sausage roll

First time visiting, and it will definitely not be the last, with warm hand made sausage rolls on the bar to tempt you, and yes they did tempt me. Great menu of locally sourced food, superb quality and value for money. I had the ham hock, wowsers, probably the best I've ever had, it was simply devine. With a wide range of cask and Keg beers, and spirits to every taste, they have the food and drink sorted. The staff are great too, excellent service, polite friendly and nothing seemed too much trouble. A great pub, with superb food and great staff. 👍 👍👍👍

Great atmosphere and pies. Great selection of beer.

Just an amazing roast. Up there with the best I've had.

Lovely place, but I made a mistake and had a pie. I'd had one on a previous visit, and it had not been great, so I should have tried something else.

Love the Broadfield. There's always a great atmosphere and the food has always been good. It's one of my favourite pubs in Sheffield.

Fish finger sandwich was fishless all batter

Lovely old pub with plenty of tables and big beer garden food looked well presented. We only tried the gorgeous sausage rolls which were well worth it very tasty and quite filling

If you are new to Sheffield or visiting then this pub is the one to go to , we used to live up Abbeydale road and this was our local , have always gone back after too, incredible amount of beers and guest beers to work through , food was and is outstanding , the pies are out of this world, staff are always busy sometimes serving a couple rows back but are always lovely and polite. If you live in Sheffield and haven’t visited then get out of your cave and get yourself down.

Not for me ,all real ale wallers, over priced for very average booze

Proper pub with amazing grub and a great atmosphere. Some nice beers and great service, even some free tasting!

Very nice place goid beer choice and a excellent sausage rolls

What an absolutely wonderful Christmas dinner!! Quite aside from the joy of not having to cook and wash up, we had such a gorgeous time on Christmas Day with the Broadfield team! The food was outstanding and the atmosphere was a warm, relaxed and laid back festive vibe! As always we were made to feel so welcome by everyone and we were chuffed to bits with our Christmas card and gift of handmade cookies 🥰 You outdid yourselves - a ho-ho-wholly deserved 10/10!!! Thank you and see you in 2024 🎄🌟🎄🌟🎄

This is a local favourite. Always busy. Great atmosphere and reasonable prices. 👌

Food was very good - especially starters and the festive menu! - but the slightly anti-family-friendly service we received from one waitress left us disappointed. Having booked a table for four and added that we’d need a high chair, we were told there was only a reservation for four adults. We were quickly made to feel problematic through a continually frosty reception and slow service. Other than that, we had a lovely time.

Staff friendly and attentive. Very busy. Limited selection on menu. Very delicate flavours were masked by lashings of gravy. Gravy boat would be better.

Always have a great meal here. Fabulous vegan food, lovely staff and a cosy atmosphere.

Fantastic food, good value harshly knocked off a star for service as no one came to take our food order and we had to chase up, but otherwise it was fantastic

Excellent food, and very polite staff .....

I did have food here lovely! But I thought I would get a bit of a bigger bowl of ice cream and not a little bowl and have something on it but also too cold and tasted like ice the ice cream and it wasn't the normal temperature but everything else was fine :)

A great spot to stop with friends for a wonderful lunch. Good atmosphere and great food and service

What a pub! The food, choice of beer, amazing staff, love the place.

Fantastic pub. Outdoor area for summer months. Full of atmosphere. Quick service at the bar. Good food as well.

Great pie n chips, nice function room, staff very helpful.

Lovely roast, and the friendliest service, the atmosphere was so nice and cosy and it was everything we wanted it to be, will definitely be back for another and recommending it to our friends!

Great pub with good quality food and beers.

Great beers and simple but tasty food particularly the pies!

Great range of beers and food, but maybe reduce the volume of the piped music on quiet lunchtimes

Great food , recommendations Pie and chips , large selection of drinks ...

Ahhh, what happened? A good few years of speciality pies, and generous pub grub done well… But a recent visit would suggest a menu re-think involving customer endurance and a wilful disregard for bare minimums. The new offer involves not-quite half-arsed, smaller portions, and a 40% more margin hike on plates of ‘it’ll do’ Once golden, fluffy twice-cooked chips are now feeble anaemic, oblong baked potatoes. The chicken and shitake mushroom pie came with almost dehydrated mushrooms which a steak knife would have struggled with and an austerity inspired two pieces of chicken, all encased in a suet jacket which owed more in texture to partially-dried polyfilla than actual pastry. And this cornucopia of ‘meh’ was doused in a gravy of reduced bisto with a salt content which could rival the dead sea in salinity. I mean, you shouldn’t have to throw a reasonable expectation for quality under the bus just for the pleasure of experiencing a decent boozer, but we are where we are.

Excellent atmosphere, friendly staff and best Sunday roast outside of my own kitchen! Truly superb food. My hubby said the Guinness was also a quality pint. Even at a later sitting only a couple of menu items were unavailable. Highly recommended.
