City pub sorry not my cup a tea even tho girl serving was loverly ...

Recently changed hands end of Oct 2024. The quality of beer has improved

Absolutely amazing atmosphere and fabulous food at a great price. Good range of beers at good price . All the staff are super friendly and efficient

Didn't eat but folk were cracking. Those southerners that have no idea what I mean were great

Nicely looked after pub, friendly staff behind the bar, and good selection of drinks

We come from Belgium, and we ate there while waiting for our coach to London: very good fish and chips, the fish was very fresh, the curry sauce was succulent, all served kindly and simply, hospitable staff :) A pleasant surprise, with excellent value for money! We recommend, and we will come back! 😊

Friendly place with easy access to transport

Well.what a change .the whole ambience of the pub is disgraceful. What have green king done with a great pub Totally dreadful.mis managed and who is in charge ³ What a shame 😔😕😞

Great service from Dillan and Mark, brilliant atmosphere. Would definitely visit again 👍👍

Stopped in for some food before seeing my partner off on a coach. Friendly staff and genuinely much better burgers than we've had in many more expensive places.

Penny black hasn't really changed over the years

Got absolutely stranded in Sheffield due to trains. Teri and Mark who were on shift were so warm welcoming, friendly and accommodating if I’m ever in Sheffield I will definitely be back next time

They have a John Smith's option. And the pub is right next to the interchange - not for to walk for bus or train.

What a super pub this is or first time and was made to feel very welcome from the barmaid. And the owner plus the cutest dog lol .. the food was outstanding and the prices where spot on ..

Great atmosphere, great service, great food for great price! Truly recommend this place! Good to know: you can choose your own music!

Great pub with really good pints and a lovely atmosphere. The girl behind the bar (with the tats) was excellent. Very friendly and even remembered our order when we returned hours later. There are a lot of great pubs in Sheffield, and this is definitely up there.

friendly good atmosphere and great music

Went to the Penny Black for lunch today with some friends and got the chick’n’ mix, great deal very yummy and also the chef guy was super lovely! Great service and food

Fantastic service on a couple of occasions that we've visited with Stoke in the last few weeks.

Excellent pub to visit. Friendly staff Top place

Surprisingly good pub. We stopped in on a stag do as we passed it on the way to our hotel. Was expecting a bit of a rough pub, but the staff were excellent, beer was good and no problems with anyone inside. We called in a couple more times during the weekend

Spot in again, food was a decent portion and well served. For a city centre pub, better than spoons 👍

Great place for food and beer, 2 hunters chicken and chips £11.50, good quality, can't argue whatsoever

Cozy pub with a good atmosphere. I was in England for a weekend for football matches and this pub appealed to me. Nice people at the bar who know us a little and a friendly owner/manager.

Friendly staff lovely food very affordable would definitely recommend

Great food one of the best food I ever had in my entire life. The drinks are the best too. Perfect restaurant if you want to get the best food in the world and for definite 🌎 👏👏

Didn't know if they do food just a back street pub have sport on

A very warm welcome ,would highly recommend this pub,staff couldn't do enough for us .I was very cold got me a hot drink straight away,

Came in for some breakfast on our break at work and it did not disappoint. A tasty breakfast that filled and fuelled me for the day for a great price.

Nice friendly staff and very decent breakfast

Might not be the most glamorous of venues but top landlord and team. Always come here before we go for a rave - didn’t get guys name but Scottish guy always friendly and helpful and talks to all the customers making them feel welcome. Saw the guy helping a disabled man in and taking time to bring him in and they always open to just let people come in from the cold. Top place top man !

Great service, funny staff, good pub x

We were made to feel very welcome after booking a table for dinner prior to watching Cov. V Sheffield Wednesday . Plenty of TVs showing live sport. Really nice meal, which was reasonably priced. The staff were very attentive and friendly, which was a big plus for me. We came back after the football for a beer and a game of pool. Only slight negative was there was no real ale being served to my knowledge. Would definitely return again though.

A group of us arrived early into Sheffield and were looking for a pub that would be open. The Penny Black was open and a short walk from the station. The landlord and staff were friendly. The free jukebox and sky sports were a bonus too. Will visit again when in town for the football

We don't live in Sheffield, so Saturday was our first time here. Knew it was a Blades pub (non match day) so as we parked across the road. Thought we would go have a drink (or two!) Female waitress was very cheerful, pub lovely and warm and good atmosphere. Would defo come back! 👍

All round great place, never tried the food but definitely will be when I return as the meals looked and smelt amazing. Edit!! Back down from Scotland again, this time we have been in for food and I can honestly say it didn't disappoint had the hunters chicken was cooked to perfection 👌🏻 will be in again most of this week for our meals 🏘☂️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Nice every day pub...manager very friendly...reasonable prices in city center.

Very dated, typical green king, not spent a penny on the place by the looks of it for a long time.

Visited on a Wednesday lunchtime with company. Ordered food and manager came out to say there would be a slight delay. This wasn't a problem & it made a change to be informed (far better than sitting wondering where food was). When it came food was excellent. Had Fish & Chips and my wife had the Scampi. Both were great as was the size of the fish. It was all cooked freshly with the batter for the fish made fresh in the kitchen. Friendly atmosphere but surprised more people don't go for the food. Overall would highly recommend.

Very accommodating and the landlord is a laugh a second

Helpful staff had a good breakfast

Popped in whilst waiting to check into the hotel nearby and so glad I did was fantastic place have a drink, wasn’t very busy and had a really good atmosphere and fairly cheep booze

Came in yesterday with friends (Sunday) we was reluctant to order food at first because the bar was so busy with food orders and poor young girl was on her own but we chanced it and the wait time wasn't long at all. Friends had Sunday beef that looked lovely and I had cheese potato pie and it was fantastic such good value for money. We never got to thank the chef but hats off to him food was beautiful. And thankyou to the polite lovely young lady behind the bar you made us feel so welcome. We have been told on several occasions to avoid this pub but I am so glad we didn't. We will be back for sure lovely staff great atmosphere 🙂

Amazing food at an amazing price. My dad’s a fussy man and he couldn’t stop complimenting the chef. Came for brunch before my graduation and the staff couldn’t stop congratulating me a lot. Great friendly atmosphere, would recommend. Has a pool table as well.

What a lovely place staff really lovely and the landlord is so friendly and outgoing. The food is really nice compliments to the Chef

It's a warm friendly pub and reasonable prices. It's 3 minutes walk to the Bus station and a 7 minute walk to the Railway station. It's a good place to catch sports on TV. Almost opposite is Sheffield's oldest domestic building and it's also a pub, the Queen's head, the portrait on it's sign is that of Mary Queen of Scott's who was kept in Sheffield for 14.years before her execution. Today, Tuesday, there was a friendly bar lady and she had time for everyone who came to the bar and made everyone feel welcome

Recently stayed in Sheffield and this was the pub near the hotel. I was in Sheffield for 3 nights and went to the pub 3 days. Lovely local atmosphere where both staff and customer were friendly. The food was good pub grub and reasonably priced.

Great place to go staff are amazing food is great I will be back 😋 😀

Popped in after a day visiting our daughter at the uni, we weren't sure what to make of it at first as it was a bit rough around the edges from the outside but we had a couple of hours to kill waiting for the coach so thought we'd give it a try. We only ordered drinks and deserts as we'd eaten previously but they arrived in good time and everyone enjoyed them. The prices were standard for Green King, staff were friendly and accommodating, the music (Saturday DJ night) was in full swing and enjoyable. Will definitely visit again when we come back up this way.

Most helpful and friendly staff , food was real loverly , decent portions . Relaxed atmosphere brill!!! We were a small group and very well catered for

Great pub very friendly staff good food and value for money made to feel very welcome would recommend and will comeback when in Sheffield

Great pub great staff good food very welcoming

I use this place regularly for the football, it’s always a great atmosphere, with friendly staff. We’ve been meaning to try the food here as it’s always looked nice. Well yesterday while on our way to a concert we finally got a chance, how glad we are that we did, Jock & the staff put every effort into making their food. It’s a (locals) pub, but don’t let this put you off. You’re not going to get posh tablecloths, but what you are going to get is absolutely lovely food at very affordable prices. We will definitely be eating there again..

Top pub top bar staff and great manager in jock highly recommended a visit

Bargain price beer and great atmosphere. Friendly locals. We were dressed in crazy rock gear as we were in town for Sleaze Rock Festival at academy where the beer was twice the price. Raised eyebrows with the regulars who were more interested in the footie on TV. Will visit again next time we are in town.

Spent the day here, waiting to attend a concert.Brill atmosphere, had lunch and Dinner, both excellent. Great value and choice. Colleagues and regulars happy and friendly.

Penny Black ! Great friendly pub. Jock always makes us welcome ! Great food ! Friendly people and good atmosphere

Friendly staff and great food. Dog friendly, helpful and informative.we definitely be coming again.

Amazing food always hot and fresh. The staff are very friendly and make it a good experience. It had a warm atmosphere.

Great atmosphere, staff friendly and helpful, food lovely and fresh. Jock is lovely makes you feel welcome

Perfect place for taxi drop off to wait outside for a coach....bus parking to easily get out of the bus terminal in Sheffield.

Edible in a pinch, the worst food we had over two weeks in the UK. Friendly bartender

The food was excellent , freshly prepared and good value Welcoming atmosphere and clean environment

Great service, great food, manager was very attentive and chatted wih all the customers. Would recommend to anyone.

Stumbled across this place with my wife and son. Lovely food. Great atmosphere.

Sheffield Utd pub but very friendly, cheap drinks and nice staff. A proper pub

All good, food was epic but got a bit rowdy with footy being on.

Really welcoming, and good atmosphere, very attentive staff and family friendly

Booked a table for food here. And had a reminder. Got there and they weren't doing food as shortage of staff they did apologise but not good enough.

Nice stop on the way to the hotel - friendly locals

Worth calling while in between trains, staff friendly.

This public house is excellent, staff very helpful, good variety of meals on menu with nice portions and taste.

Only called in for one pint and had no food

Really good that there are tables outside. Perhaps brollies may be s good idea?

Was our first time visiting and was very impressed and thought it was a very friendly pub. We had breakfast here and it was affordable and filling. Customer service was impeccable and staff very attentive. Highly recommend a visit

First time visiting here but not the last we had fish & chips it was marvelous 😋 a very welcoming Atmosphere people friendly will definitely be back again to try something else on there menu

Literally just popped in for a bite to eat before our coach and my god it's amazing

You pay for what you get, our burger was cold but the flavour was nice, the fish and ships platter were big and crunchy, overall tasty

Very nice green king pub, food looks great, may ava Becky in morning. 👍

Nice pub,very nice friendly lady serving when we went in on 7th may,will certainly return when in Sheffield again...hope you can get ice breaker in though!!!!...food looked very nice too

I had a full English breakfast there are the egg was cold inside the egg

Awesome pub. Worth visiting on a Sunday morning

Nice enough pub, friendly staff. Marked down a star as missing several items from menu

Plenty of characters in this pub, great value and good vibe

Great city pub next to the bus station. Good food and beer. Always busy when United are at home.

A good, busy pub within walking distance of the station. Hard working staff but worth a visit.

Didn't know what to think when we first came in, but was welcomed, sat down and had some smashing snap. Jock and the others were friendly, made sure everything was all good through the visit. Had a cracking time and if I'm back in the area, would definitely re-visit. Cheers guys!

Comfortable pub, great for watching sport with quite a few different seating areas and screens. Friendly manager but no real ale.

This little pub with grub is right outside the bus station. We popped in to have a cuppa and shelter from the rain, but the menu looked good, so we stayed. I can't recommend it enough. I had a burger, my son a steak and partner wanted gammon. As there wasn't any, he asked for bacon and was given a lion's share. All the food was excellent. The guy behind the bar and the chef were both very pleasant. 10/10.

Great pub, great landlord, great food. UTB

Great place staff are friendly & give good service drinks prices are reasonable do nice food good selection.

Had a good night here with penny black pool team

Friendly enough place, we only had 1 drink but music was 70s on a saturday which was bit disappointing for us younger ones

Grimm. Had breakfast eggs looked like they had been cracked onto plate hash browns looked defrostet not cooked. Friendly staff is the only reason for two star instead of one

Lovely breakfast. Great staff and service good price also on menu

Good atmosphere, friendly bar staff and most importantly a good pint!!

Very friendly staff, great food. Will definitely go back again

Always good a and it's a BLADES boozer !
