The Norfolk Arms Restaurant in Sheffield

I was really impressed by the service at the Norfolk Arms today. The staff are polite and attentive, in particular George, going above and beyond to provide a wonderful eating experience, for example an extra portion of custard for my apple crumble!

The Norfolk Arms is located in the heart of Ringinglow Village. It's a nice inn and hotel. Service was good and the food was good too, especially the garlic bread with cheese, which was splendid. However, the experience was spoilt by the outdoor tables in the drinks only area, which were so flimsy and cheap that they shook violently when someone stood up and caused my near whole pint to tip over! The other tables didn't have this problem, it was the plastic/metal grey ones on the grass. Investing in the best equipment for the customer experience is the best way to ensure 5 star reviews, which mine would have been, were it not for the table incident. The views from The Norfolk Arms were magnificent and it was great to see a pro-cash attitude at the bar. It's also dog friendly, with water and dog treats available.

Went for a birthday meal, the review of the food was that it was ok. Although our 7 year old thought the pizza tasted weird. The waitress gave me anxiety as she could not wait to get away from the table, had a 4 year old with us so had to ask for a teaspoon and was given a dessert spoon, I asked a second time for the teaspoon then 10 mins later I went to investigate apparently teaspoons needed to be washed !! Then I was told that it had come from housekeeping ....not sure why that,'s relevant. Then went to use the toilets to find only emergency lighting to fumble about in .......went in with high expectations, left with sadness in my heart.

Celebrating mums birthday,super Sunday lunch ,friendly helpful courteous staff and a very relaxed atmosphere. Fab location ! There's even a menu for dogs great idea ,FAB day

We went for a family lunchtime meal. The service was slow-although booked we waited almost an hour for our food. The food itself was not acceptible. The fish pies lacked fish. My sons chicken meal was the worse he ever had. The vegetables were not cooked properly and when replaced were not much better. Will not be going again.

Called in for a bit to eat and a warming drink food was ok nothings special good choice of beer it the place was lacking atmosphere and staff were a little staged

We ate here as we were staying overnight. The food was very average especially since for pub food it was not cheap. My fish was 'soggy' any my husband's sausages were very basic. Surely there are local suppliers and the could be promoted as local...

Went here for lunch with my mum,daughter and aunt and found it really good value. I am a veggie but did not struggle for a change! My mum and aunt had the gammon from the lite bites menu, I had the jacket potato and my...

Usual pub grub, not much choice, did not notice any specials board, cooked breakfast was much better.

A lovely location for a pub, plenty of outdoor space. Had a very nice Sunday roast. Service was good and the portions were very generous.

My primary thing to say is that, as far as nut allergies go, these people are super helpful. I come here a lot. I like the ambiance. The servers are friendly. The beer is good. I like the food -- okay, it's pub food, not...

We went last night for a family birthday. There was no vegan choice on the menu so I settled for a veggie option. The place was busy so we were happy to wait a while for our food. Sadly, after such a long wait.. the...

Took my elderly mum for lunch today.My sister waited ages at the bar to get served and had to repeat the drinks order numerous times before the barman got it right and it was only 3 drinks !She enquired how long the wait would be...

It’s a very attractive building in a lovely area. The beer garden has some of the finest beer garden views I know of. Inside it is nice enough - looks traditionally old which suits the pub as it is in keeping. There’s an excellent range...

Stopped off for lunch on a Saturday and, although there was a busy wedding party in the function area, the staff seemed to be coping pretty well. Opted for the scampi, which was over cooked and possibly reheated. The hand cut chips were undercooked and...

Wonderfully welcoming, friendly atmosphere. A real treasure of a place. I've been there a lot to meet friends for glorious walks in the beautiful countryside. Food is great. I Havent got a bad word to say. I would highly recommend the venue

This was our 3rd visit for a overnight stay and first time during the week. The room was great value at £55 and both our evening meals (home made pie and scampi) and full English breakfasts were good value with generous helpings. The staff were...

A good breakfast albeit a bit of a wait for it. Nice clean place and courteous staff. Situated in nice area. Not bad at all.

Went for my wife’s birthday and had a celiac in the group. We choose this pub because of the good gluten free food. It was a Great choice for everyone. Kids enjoyed the Pizza’s Very big took half the pizza home. The Burrito with chilli...

I went to this pub with 2 of my friends where we all ordered food. We were not told of a wait time but the food took 40 minutes and when it arrived I was shocked that the staff had even taken the food to...

Called in here after a walk in the peak district. Initially told our food would be 45 minutes. It was actually 35 minutes which we thought was a bonus. We had 2 teas, Cod and chips, and sausage and mash. All for less than £11....

Having booked a weekend away for a last minute Easter break, Norfolk Arms provided the perfect escape. The hotel is central to the Peak District with breathtaking views and landscapes all around. The welcome was very warm with helpful and friendly staff and the rooms...

Three evening meals on three consecutive nights tells you a lot. The food was consistently good, the place was packed every night, the prices are reasonable and the quality was consistently high. Not haute cuisine but excellent hearty fare, especially if you have been out...

Food was disappointing but plentiful. Good beers. Friendly staff. A bit uncomfortable. Chairs need upgrading.

The meal was mass catered rather than 4 of us so have a different take. There were 30 of us in the party. Portion sizes very good and food was great although Chicken was overcooked. Have a separate gluten free menu and the coeliac in...

We decided to call at the Norfolk Arms for lunch on a very snowy Sunday. The log burners were lit and the staff greeted us in a friendly manner. We ordered drinks whilst we waited for a table. The guest bitter entitled 'Fair Weather' was...

What a beauty this is, stunning views, the customer journey was amazing from start to finish, we received a warm welcome despite it being very busy , our room was stunning , beautiful clean big living space. The food was gorgeous, the chef friendly ,...

Visited several times over the Christmas period, excellent service and food each time. Comfy surroundings, attentive, helpful staff. We are very fortunate to live so close to such a lovely pub/restaurant.

Such a shame the staff let such a beautiful place down,very rude were certain staff,you know who you are.

So good to find a friendly restaurant that has a a dedicated menu for gluten intolerance. Had two great evening meals there and the whole family could eat together without anyone feeling marganilised. Great service too.

My wife and I had decided to have a pub lunch on our journey home from hospital in Sheffield where I had undergone surgery. It is a hotel so we were unsure if we were welcome. We had a cracking home cooked meal washed down...

It's many years since we have been in such a packed out rural pub midweek. Every table was full - some repeatedly during the evening. One had to queue at the bar for drinks - not a familiar concept for those of us used to...

Staying in hotels on a weekly basis I have to say this is one of the better ones. Rooms very nice food and atmosphere very good, what more could you ask for, A* in my eyes !!!!

I had a delicious, salmon Nicoise salad from a varied menu. All the options were well-priced. Beautifully cooked, friendly staff.

In an earlier review, I complained about lack of servers late afternoon. I have always liked this pub for its beautiful location, excellent beer and pleasant environment, though the food and the service can be a bit patchy. The most recent family lunch visit was...

Normally excellent when we come here, but today we was extremely disappointed. Food came out and all our chips where well over done, we did have them changed and the waitress just said it's the way they cook them and we said we could taste...

the bread in the 8Oz burger was absolutely horrible it tasted like cardboard and was rock solid. The chips and burger where not particularly good either. My Grandfathers liver and bacon was tasteless and he never found any bacon. NEVER COMING BACK!!!!! PS.we had to...

Had a fantastic Sunday night meal here. Great service and tasty food. The best thing about the Norfolk Arms is the massive choice of gluten free food. My two children are coeliac, so it is hard to normally to offer them much choice. At the...

Very exceptional room and the food bought in the restaurant was very good. Lovely location and ideal for my sons walking practice for the three peaks challenge

As above,busy atmosphere ,it was a Sunday night, enjoyed a light supper Alovely garden with rolling views Very good English breakfast!!

Food was awesome, qual scotch egg starter for my daughter and her partner, my other half had piri piri squid, I got talked into ordering the gluten free nachos, which they shared with me ! ( there was a lot ) falafel burger, 2 belly...

The outside of this building looks great, which made us presume it would be expensive. Not so. I had a lovely salmon salad and my wife liver and onions, which she enjoyed just as much. I tried there Eton mess and my wife the gluten...

We stayed at the pub/hotel for a friends wedding, driving up from Bournemouth. One of the friendliest staff in any hotel I have stayed at and their attitude was consistent in the hard working bar people. A credit to the establishment it makes a great...

Amazing views. One of best places in Sheffield for a drink outside on a pleasant day. Average food and service. Nothing special in the vast selection of decent pubs to eat near here

Went here on a sunny Friday evening after an excellent dog walk. The setting is glorious; in easy reach of Sheffield, on the edge of the Peaks. The views are brilliant, and the best thing about the pub. It has a slightly more interesting selection...

Came here on Sunday. We booked ahead (luckily for us) for a table for 4. We had a long wait for our food but we were told there would be. But it was very much worth the wait! All food was excellent. The children's means...

Good menu selection, especially for Vegetarians. The Battered Halloumi is a Special worth keeping on the board. The food is home cooked, fresh and unpretentious. The breakfasts are very good too, plenty of choice and cooked to order. Worth polishing off the evening with one...

The English breakfast is so good lunch is unnecessary. Dinner menu is quite wide ranging and caters for all tastes including gluten free. The portions are more than adequate, freshly cooked and very tasty. A good range of desserts too. Didn't sample lunch but judging...

Went into bar for a tea and a pint. They had a couple of beers from a micro-brewery at £1.50 per pint!!! - and a really good pint. Decided the place looked interesting and quite a few people dinning, went into the restaurant area and...

11 of us went for an early evening meal yesterday & as the party size was quite large were advised to pre order to save having to wait too long or risk things not being available. We had a wheelchair user with us and therefore...

We visited on a sunny Sunday afternoon after walking the dogs locally with friends, so sat in the garden. Great menu with lots of vegetarian options. Staff friendly even though they were run off their feet! Will definitely be visiting again, as its dog and...

Went with a few friends for lunch and as a base for refreshing walk. There are many great walks around Ringinglow. The pub/hotel/restaurant is a friendly place, warm on a cold wet day with fireside tables. Lots of room and boots welcomed. Decent sized menu....

We stayed at the Norfolk Arms for 3 nights with our 4 year old son and were made to feel really welcome at this lovely pub. It's got one of the best locations in the country with views over the Peak District and Sheffield and...

Meat lovers must visit this restaurant and have a try ham hock. A great piece of slowly cooked pork meat and rosted at the end, served with home made skin on chips. Delicious. After all day outside you can grab a pint and a taste...

We arrived at 5.30 on a Sunday evening and it was an hour before our main course arrived. The waiting staff seemed quite indifferent and we felt like we were being ignored. When we asked if we could have the ice cream for our little...

I've enjoyed a beer and eaten here before but recently have called in for a coffee during the day after a walk in the nearby countryside. Perfect. With log fires at this time of year and Tiffany lamps the interior is very pleasant. Can't fault...

Our parties poorest experience eating out for a long time. Drinks were flat and the food served was well below the standard expected. The ploughman's lunch was stale and dry and was missing items stated on the menu. The different portion sizes on the board...

Very long wait, well over an hour from ordering and still no sign of our meals. Staff gave excuses (big function going on), instead of apology. Disappointing and embarrassing for family get together. Won't be back.

The food is very good but sometimes the service can be a little slow.The staff are pleasant and the prices are pretty average to other pub restaurants. Child and dog friendly with welcoming décor.

We decided to call in at the Norfolk Arms after a visit with two small children to the local alpaca farm. We arrived shortly after 12, and though the pub was filling up, it wasn't very busy, or not by the standards of a pub...

Went here for lunch following a long walk in the surrounding countryside. Arrived hungry and had to wait an age for a salad and a ploughman's lunch. When they arrived, we were both disappointed. The salad consisted of a few sad looking, wilted leaves with...

Had great Sunday lunch there with friends and really good that we could take our dog.stunning situation.but can be busy

Stayed for three nights and was very impressed, friendly staff, good food,great views and ideally situated for the Peak District. Very warm weather when we were there, the hotel restaurant was very busy but they coped really well and the service level was excellent which...

Great location with stunning views over Sheffield and beyond. Character-full building with no wasted space! Staff very friendly and helpful, making sure we found a table despite the place being packed and very busy. In fact it was the busyness that provided the only disappointment...

really nice little ou with lovely views over the city. greast for lunch and a relax in the sun. always busy.

I always eat the steak and ale pie. It is usually good to very good. On my last visit it was a massive disappointment, instead of slow braised tender beef as on all my previous visits, it tasted like pre cooked beef joint cut up...

We have visited for food twice as keen to support somewhere with a gluten free menu. Both times the service has been painfully slow and the food bordering on inedible. The second time I was served a crucified pork steak which they were reluctant to...

The hotel is overall very good. The location is superb and the staff are great. My only niggle is that the bathroom could have been cleaned better. The restaurant would have been excellent, but for the fact that my starter and main course came out...

Strategically well located on the edge of the peak district moorland, a short drive from the popular climbing area "Stanage Edge". The pub stocks an amazing selection of whisky and also a range of real ales. Food is reasonable, but not the main reason to...

It was a busy Sunday but not at full capacity. The barman just took too long to serve us and also ignored us to go clear a table. Really poor customer service and won't be going back. He also looked scruffy and probably hadn't washed...

Pro's Large car park Great location in a very remote spot high up in the Pennies but only a short drive into Sheffield. Staff - all very friendly and efficient Bar - good choice of local beers and a great choice of whisky's Accommodation -...

We called in one Saturday afternoon and had half roast chicken and a burger. The burger was fine but the chicken was dry as were the chips it was served with. In fact he whole meals looked and tasted like it had been sat under...

tried many places and all full. went to Norfolk arms as passing. got in easy! now we know why. ordered Sunday roast, and couldn't taste a thing. even though there was very little on the plate. very bland, very dry and almost cold. never again!

Perfect meeting place on the very edge of Sheffield and on the border of the wonderful Peak District. Walking,Cycling,running or just a meeting point then this is great. Good simple cooking, pleasant staff and dog friendly in the bar area too. This isn't trying to...

Stayed in this lovely quiet hotel when I was working in the area. Loved it that much I came back and stayed for short break nice views good food lovely rooms

This pub/restaurant/hotel happily takes dogs in all areas except the private dining/function room . The area is wonderful for walking or just for a drive out then call in WITH your dog for a drink and food , the place is old and has a...

Another brilliant establishment. Stayed three nights and used the restaurant on the three evenings. Room was well appointed, recently renovated I would say. Food was amazing with pies for instance produced on the premises. A real ale pub with good support from local breweries. Staff...

We popped in here after visiting the Mayfield alpaca farm next door and it is a wonderful pub. Bight, clean, spacious, quirky, comfy, accessible, old. Everything a pub should be. The drinks were well priced and varied and the menu was one of the best...

We met here for coffee, had a walk and then returned for a light lunch. That is all possible here, even though we returned still in walking boots and with a dog. I had jacket with beans, cheese. coleslaw and a salad. The food was...

Cleanliness, fantastic food, helpful and friendly staff, quiet location with brilliant room. Couldn't ask for much better especially for the price. Me and the partner was stuck for something to do so we went on a little adventure through the peak where we came across...

Very good pub food, providing well (with a separate menu) for coeliac sufferers. Clearly a popular venue in the area.

"The Norfolk Arms" is a nicely located pub-restaurant. On the edge of wild countryside but with magnificent views of Sheffield. We had been busy working all afternoon and had no inclination to prepare an evening meal at home. It was time for a treat. When...

Having just completed seven miles of a ten mile walk we were ready for a drink and stopped at the Norfolk Arms. There was a great range of wines and real ales, the staff were friendly and efficient. There is outside seating and an area...

I stayed at the Norfolk Arms Arms with my Brother and Mother as part of a belated celebration of my Mother’s 95th Birthday (we stayed there as it is ideally situated on the edge of the Peak District and close to Sheffield where we were...

We love love love this pub and spend loads of time and money here, however although the service is lovely the coffee always tastes abit stale and lukewarm and the food for vegetarians is very limited and bland?you could make a gorgeous place even better...

It was a sunny day and we were hungry. An imposing building loomed with a reasonably busy car park. Not many people in the restaurant though. Menu wasn't exciting, average. Food was OK but not very cheery or especially well done.

Tepid,greasy fish and chips. Frozen chips under cooked . Place was almost empty and staff were too busy chatting between themselves to be attentive to customers. Not good

Got to the nolfork arms 1st stop on a three day peak district tour . The weather was raining and cold but from the moment we stepped into the reception the welcome was warming real fires in all the rooms around the pub . Our...

I have frequented the Norfolk Arms since the early 90's and have seen it change over the years but I really have no complaints about its current guise both in terms of the excellent traditional appearance of the establishment both inside and out and the...
