In one sense this is a run of the mill Wetherspoon's. But look closer and you will see The Francis Newton is a beautiful building in pleasant surroundings. As ever with Wetherspoon's, what they do, they do well. Breakfast for the price is faultless. I've paid less than £4 for a good pint of beer and a pint of Coke. Nicest 'spoons in Sheffield. 11.12.24 - Another visit and another great shout as the prices remain so cheap!!

Not impressed with breakfast, and I've tried a number of different Wetherspoons. Nobody returned to ask if everything was ok with my breakfast (in other locations they do). Bacon was very burnt, but when I pointed this out all they said was that they'd make a note of it. I would have expected a new piece of bacon or something else to make up for it. Also, when I ate here a few days ago, nobody returned to check all was ok then either. Edit: Returned this morning (Sunday) and received a sticky, unclean coffee mug followed by cutlery with traces of food on. Tomatoes burnt like never before, and dried up, extremely salty bacon. (Sheffield Waterworks Wetherspoons in the city centre, by comparison, gets it right every time.) Shame, as the Francis Newton is such a beautiful location. 11 Nov: Given an unwashed coffee mug covered in coffee splashes. 12 Nov: Ordered my coffee mug at 10:57 and after waiting nearly 20 minutes had to visit the bar at 11:15 to ask for it. 25 Nov: Lovely breakfast but dirty cutlery... again! And this was also after a 22 min wait since ordering. 29 Nov: Coffee mug with dried egg yolk around the bottom. 03 Dec: Clean mug delivered with a smile and without the wait. So much better)) 👌

The Francis Newton is one of nicer Wetherspoons around. Actually it’s a country house set in fine grounds and gardens. Selection of beers and lagers including some excellent cask conditioned real ales and cans in fridge. The staff were very friendly and efficient. Plenty of seats inside and out but It’s nice to sit out and enjoy the view as well as weather.

Perhaps one of the better Wetherspoons, set in green surroundings on the classier side of the city. But it's still a 'Spoons... with so-so food and a slightly careworn feel. Younger members of the family like it for a cheap meet-up but it's not my kind of pub. Beware the car park which has an ANPR camera - you MUST register immediately on arrival or risk a hefty fine from the car park operator.

Simply substandard . I had the mixed grill and they didn't even ask me how I wanted the steak. I understood when it came- everything was an overcooked reheat. All the meat was overdone- to nearly leather standards I leaned a life lesson today, always wait early evening until the evening chef has actually started working. No professional chef should ever allow meat like mine out of his kitchen.

The Francis Newton is the only pub in the world named after a master cutler. Probably. Francis Newton cuttled and he cuttled good. He cuttled like no man had ever cuttled before. The cuttling paid off handsomely, like cuttling had never paid off before. And what better way to pay homage to the cuttlemeister than to have Wetherspoons take over the pub and fill it with the cheapest cutlery know to mankind. Cutlery that can never appear totally clean, knifes that are barely sharp enough to cut butter and forks than bend like a sapling in a hurricane. Traditional breakfast were ordered and we settled in with a coffee while we waited for the feast to appear. It soon did via the friendly staff and we put the fusty looking cutlery to use... The food was what you expect in any Wetherspoons establishment. Toast, bacon, egg, sausage, beans, it was all there. None of of it particularly hot, but warm enough to be acceptable. The bacon could have done with a few more minutes of cooking, it was pinker than a gay pride parade. The sausages were rock hard, so to speak. Hash browns hotter than a Chernobyl reactor went down a storm and beans with a only a fine film of skin on the servings complimented the brekkie nicely. Sachets of HP sauce were generously dumped on the food and we scoffed the meal hungrily. It was OK, nothing fabulous, but very nice for the price. Francis would be utterly ashamed of the cutlery though...

I called into the Frances Newton with some workmates for breakfast while working in Sheffield. It's the second time we've been and the experience was the same both times. I ordered from the app, the breakfast was served reasonably fast, but on both occasions they had forgotten about my cup of tea. When we have been to other Wetherspoons the drink is brought out first, but not here, they don't bring you your drink, just a cup, and because they forgot about it, I had to get up and leave my breakfast to go cold while I went and fetched my own tea. Not exactly ideal. Also I think they must count the baked beans as they put them on your plate, it is a very small portion compared to other Wetherspoons. Would I go again? Probably yes. But if your planning a visit, don't expect the same experience as most other spoons.
