The Hind in Rotherham

service, brilliant, excellent atmosphere

Nicole and Joey were amazing short staffed but they managed so well with a smile.

Really lovely food and great experience

Lovely afternoon meal. Food was lovely and reasonably priced. Service was great. Kevin was attentive and polite and looked after us all, including my little boy who throughly enjoyed his lunch and ice cream!

Called at the Hind Saturday 1st March 25 around 2. Pm. Not impressed with service we got. Maybe not the young girls fault and maybe we are spoilt by our local ember inn but no warm welcome here. Four of us found a table to sit at .. looked at the menu in detail then I went to the bar to order. Two of the choices were not available so I said I would need to go back to the table to choose. I returned to bar a second time only to be told again the replacements weren’t available either? No apologies, just a shrug from the young woman. I then said well maybe YOU tell me what IS available? When I returned a 3rd time the same person had to actually look to see if it was available! Maybe Ember, your staff should be informed of things that are off menu to save customers making several trips to order? My companions and I did enjoy what we eventually got but we wouldn’t return to this ember inn. Staff just don’t care.

Kelly served us and was fantastic highly recommend 👌

My husband and I visited the hind again today we have been on a few occasions we went for lunch today and was met by very pleasant and friendly staff we had the 2 course lunch it was beautiful and tasty presented well and the young lady who served us was lovey nothing too much trouble and the gentleman behind the bar too I think he was the landlord my husband was chatting to him before we left and the young lady who served us our lunch was lovely her name was tiegan very polite young lady can’t wait for our next visit the fire was lovely and cosy too lovely ambience woul recommend this to anyone

Great service from kelly . The chef was accomodating .

Had the hunters chicken with breadcrumbs. Could not eat any outer edges has way to hard, chicken inside was tuff left most of it. Staff polite.

The mixed grill which I have had this evening and which I have dined on several previous ccasions has been consistently excellent All thanks to the Hinds chef 'Johno' The welcome greeting and continual regard for my dining experience particularly by Taegan made it an enjoyable evening.Many thanks

Lovely service as always thanks to Joey

It was valentines night so very busy the only problem was not enough staff only 2 serving drinks and one servicing the tables so took ages to get a drink

Really lovely service from joey and team

Fantastic service from joey and her team lovely food great service lovely pub

Visit the hind often, lovely staff and service, also dog friendly which my little fury friend loves coming in for her treat too 😊

Served at the bar by George, prompt service, and served my food by Laura the chef, even had a checkback to make sure everything was alright.

Nice tea but limited menu, we saw someone with pie but it was neither on the menu or the specials board 🤷‍♀️

Was lovely to see joey back in the hind we missed her and her wonderful smile and comfortable approach to us and other guests. We believe she's best manager hind as ever seen and it's time someone sees this. Push this review up !!

The young lady Abi is really good at her job, always got a smile for customers, she's the best behind the bar at pulling the real ales. Keep the smiles and good service ongoing young lady

Abi as always excellent in service and always cheerful and kind. Best real ale server ever.

Amazing food and service. Massive thanks to kev for being brilliant to us 🙏

Long waits, dirty and cold food.

Don't know what's happened lately, bar staff total lack of care and willingness to actually do the job

Lovely food, friendly staff, good atmosphere and love the open fires

Nice Pub Tea, all hot and in good time. Drinks reasonable price and good selection. Always come when have a voucher and will return. Dog friendly too apparently! 🙂🙂🐕

Waiting time for food was an hour! Not busy at all & wasnt told it would be that long

My daughter booked a surprise birthday party for my 60th, she booked on the 11th of January for 26 people. She provided all menu choices which she was asked for since it was a large party. When everyone arrived they had to move all the tables so everyone was included in a party for 26, and when I say thay had to move i mean our party guests had to move them. It was also very cold and most of the party went home chilled to the bone. When people have to sit in coats it's never a good thing. When this was brought to the attention of the member of staff we was informed it hasn't been working for a while nothing i can do about it ,in a very rude manner. Very very disappointing experience which will NOT be repeated.

Booked on line for a table of 2 for 7.15pm specifically stating we were coming for food. Upon arrival we waited 10 mins for drinks at the bar and were told where we were to be seated. We wasn't told of a wait on food and that the kitchens close at 7.45. At 7.40 I went to the bar to order food to be told they were no longer excepting food orders and that our order wouldn't have been taken if we'd had ordered as soon as we walked in given this wait. Yet they knew people were booked in for food after the decision to stop serving food. Saddened by the poor customer service, shocked at a kitchen that can't cope with actual food orders. Ended up leaving and had a lovely meal at another local establishment. Don't have offers on if you can't deal with custom. Lot to be learnt obviously going down hill.

Rubbish dinner today. My 5 year old grandson was presented with a plate of cabbage,tinned carrorts .roast potatoes with no actual potato inside as they were clearly cheap over cooked frozen ones ,and worst of all a piece of burnt charred roast beef on a bone ! This is not exactly what a child should have ! I had to ask the staff to change it for chicken which came back as dry and frazzled as the beef! Will not be going back

I was in a group of 6 people. We all had food & drinks. We had to wait for our meals tho I found it an acceptable amount of time. Service was very good & the atmosphere was nice and relaxing. My friends & I said we will go again.

Kevin looked after us and made sure we had everything we needed, he was very friendly and made sure to let us know if we had any hot plates. Thanks for making our visit great and we will definitely be back again in the new year.

Not satisfied, we pre ordered in October, meal was nice but when we asked about the puddings their was no custard so our colleague had to cancel her crumble and I had Xmas pudding with the alternative of brandy custard,when I had eaten most of it I noticed a hair in the custard jug.When reported to the manager his reponse was I made the custard and didn't know how the hair had got in the jug,and that's a far as it went.We won't be visiting this establishment for a meal again.This was on 20/12/2024 at 18.30

Warm and friendly and good value for money food

Love the Stones bitter, great bar staff nice pub.

Party of 4 had lunch on Thursday 5th. Gent serving was under pressure as he seemed to be responsible for the bar and the food orders/service. Three of the party(2 having the fish & chips and 1 shepherd's pie) ended up suffering with stomach upsets. Will not be revisiting.

Had the festive menu, the food was delicious, service was perfect, our waiter (Kalvin) was great!

Food is amazing. I recommend the rib of beef Sunday roast! Kevin was lovely. He took good care of us. Very friendly. Service was great! Love the open fires and the calm atmosphere

Unplanned visit for late Sunday lunch. Piping hot and delicious. Will definitely be back again soon

We walked into pub and was very busy (quiz night) we had a no reservations but waitress Tiguan gone extra mile to find US a table ❤️… she is a credit to Your organisation as she is very customer focus and works her socks off making sure all customers are happy and enjoying visit..we order food and we been served quite swiftly… calamari were little bit overdone but fireplace and atmosphere were great that Halloween 🎃 night🥰

Perfect stop for lunch during half term. Nice pace of service, kids were happy and everyone was friendly. Thank you to jay, Leanne and managers on shift. X

Great drinks, great food and staff

Lovely gaff, good pints, fires oreyt Joey and her staff are sound, especially Niamh :)

Lovely pub and lovely atmosphere! Will definitely be back 😊

We arrived just after 6 without a reservation. The pub was busy with a good mix of people . Dogs are welcome so there were a few fur babies about. We ordered at the bar drinks and a meal . The wait wasn't unacceptable and when the food came it was very well presented and perfectly cooked. Steak done as ordered generous portion of fries mushroom and tomatoes. I had a chicken tikka skewer with salad this was very tasty and fresh

Just went for drinks pre dinner at home. Unruly children playing hide and seek all over all areas. Absolutely distgusting. Diners complained. Bad parenting!!

Brilliant experience, fun staff, great food.

Food was average. Asked to taste the chardonay before buying a bottle as the wines we had tried were like vinegar but was told I was not allowed to have a taste of an already open bottle! The chap behind the bar said he needed to ask the manager who was on he other side of he bar and presented more like a slightly worse for wear customer!

The pubs lovely and has a great atmosphere. The foods lovely and decently priced. All of the family enjoyed themselves. Jay was amazing at sorting our request at creating a larger table to accommodate our party.

really nice lovely food. booked for christmas day aswell

fantastic service today This was our first visit back after avoiding The Hind and what a lovely warm welcome. Definitely nice to see someone as lovely take over The hind she was a lovely lady

5/6/18.... food great as always, excellent staff. .. Lady in charge Natalie always very helpful, and always remembers customers preferences , such a pleasant experience x

Well what can I say, came at Christmas - booked in for Breakfast with Santa as we had been the year before with our family (6 adults and 2 children)end had a fantastic time, we booked for the following ‘Breakfast with Santa and left a deposit, when we arrived they had overlooked our booking and we were seated in the main part of the pub away from the Christmas festivities. We made our food order after a 40min wait asked where our food was, we were told it was on its way after another 20 mins we asked again, our food arrived and we were disappointed to say the least half of the adult breakfasts were missing items and the kids meals were cold. Been today as my daughter had some vouchers didn’t think it could be as bad as before - I was wrong table booked for 12.45 arrived at 12.30 made our order and waited we were told there could be 30 mins wait. At 1.45 our starters arrived beer battered mushrooms these were so overcooked the mushrooms had disintegrated, after waiting another 25 mins our main course arrived cheese and bacon burger with red onions tomato and lettuce - no tomato or onion fries overcooked and bun was dry. Heard several other customers asking for their food. Never again - go to Wetherspoons same pub food but great service.

Sirloin steak cooked to perfection

Crispy chicken ciabatta, what can I say. The two pieces of chicken wasn’t crispy it was chicken that they use from the starters menu, must have run out . Ordered a pint of Guinness and was ask if it’s ok in a normal glass as we’re running short on Guinness glasses. Really , this pub needs a full refurbishment.

At the Hind yesterday with 3 other friends. Great food and great atmosphere.

Their curry's are way better than the kind usually served by pub. Try the Friday curry night.

Good food, decent menu, reasonable prices but service was very poor.

Visit regularly. Staff are lovely and friendly. Atmosphere is really nice. Nice outside area to sit.

Quite a long wait for food, but it's Friday evening and the venue was busy so not a problem. We ordered our food it arrived hot, plates were clean, as was the cutlery. The food was well worth the wait a good sized portion. We eat here as often as we are able to, it is a lovely pub to while away a Friday evening.

Friendly, comfortable nice pub excellent pricing

Food was fantastic and staff were very polite and welcoming

Will 100% be back so warm and welcoming

Smashing place to chill, good service from the staff, good food and a sociable atmosphere.

Lovely staff and atmosphere jamie is spot on with customers

Beer ok. Staff awful. Slow to serve, it wasn't busy. In fact, it was quite empty

Both myself and my partner ordered a steak. 1 medium and 1 medium well, both came out well done. Even down to the simple chip choice that was wrong. There was no check back from the staff. Compared to other Ember Inns this was very poor. Very disappointing

Very poor. Long wait for food and when it arrived part of it was missing, Steak, chips and peas turned up eventually (no grilled tomato, onion rings or mushroom)

Sadly the outside table was filthy as was the floor of the beer garden. Very unloved. My salad was minus all the extras like cous cous, seeds as advertised and my friend had a wrap that could not be wrapped......too stiff maybe toasted. I mentioned this to 2 staff members but received a frown on both occasions and no apology. The only saving grace was the rather nice sauvignon Ned. We've eaten here many times in the past but sadly no more

I've had a wonderful experience at the hind. Would definitely do to friends and family 100% be back. Love team as well always so welcoming and polite 😊

Although there was a staff shortage due to illness we were informed there might be a delay by a notice on the entrance door and the bar but we never noticed, the staff were lovely very friendly and helpful the food was great and seemed to be served in a timely manner.

Lovely pub and time with my fabulous work family.

Food was okay, however the menu was wrote in pen on the back of a children colouring sheet. breakfast with Santa was the worst one we have ever been to. Santa didn’t speak to the children no Christmas songs. The children were bored. Won’t return again for breakfast with Santa.

Visited tonight as a party of 2. Not really busy. Tried to order drinks, asked about cider but they had none. Not a good start. Older guy serving not helpful. Asked about gluten free and was given a tablet to go through, fine done it before.Older guy who gave me the tablet came over and leant over my shoulder saying need this, never asked if I had finished. Found him quite rude and miserable. Went to order asked for gammon, told they had none, asked for steak again told they had none. Could have shepherd's pie but did not want this. Asked for chicken, plain with fries and peas, when it arrived no peas but coleslaw. Meal returned to kitchen, waited for replacement. Meal returned, dry but edible. The younger staff were smiling and helpful. The older member of staff could learn some manners and customer service from them. Been to many Mitchell and Butler pubs and never had such poor service and food. Obviously won't be returning here again.

Tried the Vegan burger. Was delicious.

Monday night special Beer on offer not larger and decent quality food

Service was nearly five Not a great atmosphere Food has been so much better

Great food and service, very busy but we were well taken care of.

Nice local. Tasty food with friendly staff.

Was only told on my fourth of the same cocktail that there was a deal on if I got two. Stated nobody had told me so was there a way of getting a refund of an amount (if this was me I’d of given this drink for free at this point). She simply said it wasn’t possible and kind of made a comment implying the staff weren’t capable and it was obvious they wouldn’t of told me. At this point I also pointed out the last drink was made wrong. Maybe they were new but an apology would of been nice… Also had to wait a long time to get served even though there was three on at the bar at one point with only one other group being served. The younger girl server was really nice though

Food cold, quality quite poor too, will not return!

20min to get served at the bar ,above 30min for food I had to send back ( steak sandwich and chips COLD ) never had service as bad ) Saturday afternoon and 1 serving at the . Gone totally down hill...just a footnote, the girl in the kitchen exchange my food and it was fine ,but still disappointed

Changed the menu slightly. No longer do home made Nachos.

We recently went for a family birthday meal. The service was below average from the outset - food took well over 40 minutes to come. Two of us ordered mixed grills and we were told after around 20 minutes there were no sausages to go on this. I ordered my steak medium and it was rare. The meat was chewy, chips cold and hard and the food was all round very poor. Used to be a great pub with decent food but has gone really downhill in recent years. Wouldn’t recommend going for a meal to anyone.

Born on Bent Lathes Ave.in 1944. Lived for the last 60 years in Canada . Tried to find the Hind phone # which is impossibe from your web page. You have just lost several good paying customer, too bad for you EH?. Ian.

As always the service and food was fantastic, I can’t fault it will be returning next week for the curry club deal

Called recently and we waited in a queue for an eternity to get served, when we did "eventually" get served the bar person wasn't remotely friendly or polite and offered no apology or explanation (common courtesy). It is a shame because it is a lovely pub.

A really good and pleasant place to eat.

Staff and drinks great, the food not so great. Slow cooked beef, minimal meat which was tough and gristly. Partner had thick cut gammon steak that looked like 2 piece of thick bacon covered by a big slab of pineapple. The food definitely let it down.

The first time I've been to this place. I'm usually a Wetherspoons goer. Went with friends. Was great to see the place packed and people appear to be enjoying themselves. That's where the good part started and ended. Ordered food for 4 of us. Was informed it would be about 45 minutes. We talked and drank out first pints and still waited for the meal. Around 50 minutes later food arrived and I truly wished it never did. The chips was almost cold, definitely chewy as if they had been cooked hours before. The Onion rings can only he discribed as vile and full of oil. The peas just rolled around as in trying to escape off my plate which I don't blame them! Only saving grace was the stake ..? We then waited about another 40 minutes for our puddings. We asked a member of staff who was a young male and I was shocked to hear him say " it'll be with you when I can get it to you".. I understand pubs get busy but by this time it wasn't so busy. Needless to say the sticky toffee pudding was slightly over micowaved but ok custard.. I always had better experience at Spoons and that's where our custom will be next time.

Ordered a falafel wrap and it came open on a flat bread…which I’m not keen on. The falafel was cold and the chips underdone

I won’t be returning. The food and service diabolical. On walking in the pub it was busy so I assumed it would be good food but after a 45/50 minute it was understandable due to the place being busy. The food more or less thrown at us and cold. I have to say I’ve eaten better food at fast food chains. We’d gone for the set menu so after a good 30 minutes after eating what we could from the main we asked a male member of staff about our desserts. Staff reply was unhelpful and far from customer service one would expect. Desserts finally arrived and let’s just say it was not worth the wait. Everything felt like cheap frozen food.

Nice quaint pub. Great selection of drinks and all reasonably priced. Did not eat but it looked nice :)

Medium portions, but very nice! Service was excellent! Also remembered to ask if I had any allergies before I was going to mention it! This provided part of the atmosphere as warm and welcoming! I will definitely inform others to go there and of course go again myself!! I had half a roast chicken and chips, my friend had burger and chips with a small salad!

Great place for lunch and an amazing pint of Guinness. Mixed Grill is a go to all fresh and perfectly cooked

Family meal today. Food was mixed, gammon was lovely, veg not so good. Roast chicken dry, steak was over cooked but the rest was good. Puddings were good but disappointed the sundaes didn’t come in a sundae glass. Staff were friendly but distant.

We really enjoyed our visit. The food and drink were good and the service was good too. However they seemed understaffed as they were very busy and the waiting times at the bar was a little excessive. However we enjoyed our visit

Food was below average last few times I have eaten here.

Very good, last went about 5 years ago, wasn't impressed then, now much much better. Been again, still good, thank you.

Went for lunch with my daughter, The young staff male and female very friendly and sociable and good at their job.Eaten here on many occasions and never been disappointed, food always tasty and fresh. I always recommend the Hind to people for food, delicious.

Well managed staff attended to drinks and table and although the meal was guesstimated to take 45 mins the wait was worth it
