The Riverside in Sheffield - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

One of the best Sunday lunches I've ever had, at a good price too! Really friendly atmosphere with friendly attentative staff. Very comfortable seats. A good selection of beers and wines. All in all, a very happy experience!

Good ambiance and good location, nice staff, good portion of food. The pie and sandwich tasted very good, mash and peas were a little bit too salty for my taste, otherwise good experience. Highly recommend.

Vegan fish and chips… is unbelievable 🤤

Great atmosphere, lovely outside space. Excellent service and good draft beers. Unable to comment on food

Exploring Kelham while visiting my daughter. Dropped in for a drink and liked the look of the menu so much, we stayed for tea. Although we would like to try the Greek dishes, there is a pie offer on Tuesdays, so my wife and I both opted for Steak and Ale Pie with chunky chips. The pie, chips and gravy were superb - (5 stars). They were let down by the over-salted mushy peas (1 star), which would also have been excellent had it not been for the excessive amount of salt added. Nice beer garden, friendly and efficient service. Will definitely be back for food and drinks.

The welcome was very dull, tried to engage with bartender but got nothing back from him, 2 other what seemed to be staff just sat at end of bar. Drink was nice, didn't eat food as it seemed way too expensive. Overall safe to say I won't be returning or recommending

Good selection of beer and friendly staff

Good food, good drink selection. Bar staff were very friendly.

Nice pub but the food was fairly mediocre.

Great family meal in upstairs room . Staff were really attentive and made sure we had everything wanted. Food was fresh and well cooked. A few of us had the flatbread, a meze board and fish and chips ,all really tasty

I have been wanting to go here for a while, and it did not disappoint. Staff were lovely and quick service, and I felt at ease here. Vegetarian options are available, and the burgers are 50% off on Mondays! Really good chips, although for the size of the meal, I don't know if I would pay full price for it. Has a good view and quiz nights.

Absolutely fantastic pies and chips!

Been here a couple of times for a quick after-work drink. It's always buzzing, plenty of outdoor seating too and friendly staff.

Didn't have food but know that they do incredible pies, stuffed to the brim with good chunky filling Beers/ales always kept well and reasonably priced for a city centre Offers blue light discount (10%)

Had lunch here after a morning walk round the city. Ordered the Oven Baked Pork Kleftico. Lovely, tender with slight crispy skin.; paired with ale..heavenly.

Nice pub with a good range of beers close to the Don river. This place is very nicely positioned by the river with outdoor seating, to make the most of the summer heat, while we have it. The only downside is the slightly noisy road beside it. But is a friendly, comfortable place to visit.

Visited this Pub/Bar several times and it's in a great setting by the river with an excellent range of beers and drinks. Highly recommend you try it for an evening out

The burgers were not home made probably the worse burger iv had I’m not a fan of McDonald’s but there better true north brewery u need to sort ya food out it’s expensive and it’s really bad I will not be eating with you again I truly waisted my money today and you should be making a great burger but you are using pants bread and bought in burgers not home made stuff what’s wrong with u it’s not hard to make a homemade burger with a good cheese 1 crap rasher of rubbish fatty bacon and a crap cheese slice shame on you !!!! Flat bread wi pork was lumps of fat not home made terrible made me sick shame on you riverside 🤮🤮🤮🤮 Good pint but do not eat there

Decent fairly trendy pub with a few cask options. Food is good.

Great Food, Great Quality Beers and Brilliant Atmosphere

Food was good, a little over priced.

Popped in at lunchtime after a walk along the Don. Drink, food, and service were excellent. I'll definitely visit again.

Amazing place, great location and massive selection on the bar. Spot on!

Decent pub next to the river. Good selection of ales

2 burger orders were undercooked/raw and my friend, who is Coeliac, was served a gluten brownie. Our group of 4 had gone here yesterday for their pub quiz, and while there 3 of us ordered burgers. My burger was fine, but unfortunately my friend and her boyfriends burgers were both red raw and cold to the touch. The burger buns were also soggy, which made eating the burgers themselves difficult. We decided regardless to order desserts, with me and my Coeliac friend ordering brownies. As with her burger, a member of staff announced which was the gluten free item, while placing it down in front of my friend. We noticed as we were eating that hers had a biscuit layer on the bottom, while mine didn't- though we trusted that she had been served the correct brownie. Around 15 minutes after eating the brownie, my friend began feeling ill and having symptoms of eating gluten. Overall disappointed with the experience, which is a shame as I have eaten here before with family and had no issues.

Food is delicious here, the pies are some of the best I've had. A great selection of drinks with friendly and helpful staff. There is a rentable room here which is a great size for a smaller gathering.

In Sheffield for the day and needed some food so we stopped here for lunch and a pint! I had the burger which was fine :)

Great pub. Nice relaxed vibe. Excellent beer garden. Nice friendly staff.

Service awful, bar staff talking to each other when I stood waiting to be served. Decent selection of beers but expensive, hence probably why there weren't many people in for a Friday night.

Fantastic burger and chips, great choice of beers.

Great pub located by the edge of Kelham on the river. Super atmosphere in the winter or summer. Really good selection of drinks and their homemade scotch eggs are insanely good.

Another superb trip to the Riverside. A proper pub serving great food and a chouce of 4 cask ales plus crafted beers, lagers and coffee.

First time eaten there, impressed with burger and chunky chips

Great location, authentically British

One of best bars in Kelham Island. Friendly staff

The start of the pubs at Kelham Island friendly atmosphere nice view over the river

Had a nice couple of beers after work really chilled out bar

Really good real ales, brewed in Sheffield. We had the Stones Bitter and the Duck Baffler. The roast beef ciabatta sandwich was really good. Lots of beef.

My favourite bar in the area. Good selection of food and drink and a large covered outdoor Riverside beer garden.

Decent selection of drinks and a nice atmosphere. Food looked nice but I only ate crisps, Which I can recommend.

Great pub on river. Good selection of beers, nice wines, good music. Great beer garden overlooking river. Just a tad expensive

Attended a private party here and the food was amazing! Excellent service from the staff and the pub is in a great location.

Large city pub with great outdoor space and contemporary feel. Great for after work drinks, meeting with friends and family or a bite to eat. Good size outdoor space. Popular with locals and visitors.

Visited The Riverside recently for a Christmas lunch with friends, what a disappointment that was. The food was distinctly average, and overpriced and were some of the drinks, the atmosphere was lacking. Definitely won’t be going again

Brill Visit at the pub! Good came nice and quick not waiting long! All staff very helpful and couldn't do enough! Great drink selection too! Will defo be back! Good was lush! Couldn’t fault it for price either! All team welcoming during busy period!

I arranged a work meeting at The Riverside and it was great service from start to finish. Nothing was too much trouble for Assistant Manager Kieron and the pies are amazing! Would definitely recommend and will definitely return!

Smashing Christmas Party here, cracking service, nice private room upstairs.

Always great, caters for everyone

Had food from the Greek stand and I have to say the meat was lacking in appearance it's was all salad. Disappointed. Great atmosphere though.

Good festive set menu for lunch

06-12-2023.. back in this place. Really nice "local" bar. Had nice bar food, all went very smooth.. Very nice bar with bar food. Great value for your money and great ambiance

Just call in for a pint very friendly lovely atmosphere

It was very dark and expensive for a pint

Had a lovely lunch sat next the roaring fire.

The standard, has good food, a solid choice of ales and a nice relaxed atmosphere.

Busy pub with lots of rooms/ spaces for differing groups. Despite it being busy, service at the bar was really prompt. Didn't eat.

Beer selection was good the service was friendly and helpful. Atmosphere was a little quiet but it was early in the evening. Worth a visit.

Went on a Tuesday night as I love this pub. It was quite late but we were the only people there. That said service was great and beer excellent 👌

We booked the BBQ for a 30th birthday. All of us wanted to thank the fantastic kitchen team who stayed outside with us cooking food in the rain and serving our food we really appreciated the time and effort that went into it. The food was incredible and very good value for money. All the bar staff were very helpful, making delicious cocktails, even a not so delicious one as requested for the birthday boy, all the bar staff were fab. Music and atmosphere was buzzin yet felt safe and friendly too. Overall an amazing night was had and this was all thanks to Riverside. Will definitely be booking another occasion with them soon!

Great food and beer biggest chips I have ever had

Held our daughter's 30th here. Matt, Sarah and the team went above and beyond to make the event a memorable one. We chose the pie and peas menu for our 40 guests....a real winner and everyone complimented the food very highly. It was hot, very tasty and arrived on time. Nothing was too much trouble right down to to smallest detail. I highly recommend The Riverside if you are planning a 'get together'. Thank you Matt and Sarah.

Great places to have a drink and friendly

Recently hosted a birthday party at the Riverside, for which we booked one of the private rooms including catering. A fabulous time was had by all, with everyone raving about the delicious food (pie and chips!) My mum did the lions share of pre-organising and she couldn't sing the staff's praises enough - really attentive and nothing was too much trouble. Party went off without a hitch and it was great that we could offer guests drinks vouchers as well as food, really nice set up for parties and it worked well. Special thanks to Matt and Sarah for their hard work in getting everything sorted and making sure the evening was one to remember.

Just called for drinks, nice and relaxing establishment. Recommend

We had a great time here as a Friday night treat in our new local. The burgers were amazing and the chips were unexplainably large (definitely not a bad thing). Good quality food and drink, and friendly staff. Thanks for maintaining such a lovely community pub.

Great staff and a very good pub.

Was private works BBQ so didn't spend anything but nice place 🙂

Beer choices good food looked expensive

Good for an after work bev and bite. A bit spenny for a pint.

Nice bar good atmosphere, drinks a bit pricey.

Great outdoor space plenty of seating Kettle pricey for pint n a spirit n mixer but then again most places are these days. Been before will return again.

Great bar to start your night in

Love this place.... Superb staff.... Superb ale.... And superb food.... Catering outstandingly for my gluten free celiac girlfriend....

Beautiful food (especially the chips) great atmosphere and views!

Quite for a Thursday but plenty of outdoor seating and nicely laid out.

Great atmosphere, great location!

Pity that some of the food was cold which we should have complained about. But after 'Oppenhimer' we just couldn't! 🙄

Over priced £10 for a pie no thanks walked in looked at the prices of the food and booze walked out waiting for a snide comment from the owners now

Lindo lugar para pasar un rato ameno acompañado de una buena cerveza y de una buena compañía. 👍

Great pub, indoors and outdoors, always a good range of beers and food was great. Friendly staff and has a Phlegm original and an ace neon

loved it great place to socialise

Loved the real ales, plenty of choice, great staff, nice beer garden next to the river..

Attended our friends non wedding after party here ..very lovely place staff great, cocktails very nice, didn't have food but looked nice! Great outdoor area highly recommended.

Always good, great beer selection.

Great food. Went Friday lunchtime and food served quickly without pre-ordering. Friendly staff.

Not a bad little place, nice beer garden. The booze is expensive here for what they offer but all in all not a bad venue

Excellent bar, will certainly return

Excellent beer and love the outside terrace looking over the river

Beautiful setting on the river. Had a cocktail, coffee and beer. I would say at £9 a cocktail though nice is a bit overpriced. Considering I’d paid less in London. We had a quiet bite to eat - chips, halloumi fries (the best ever tasted), fries with gravy sauce and the other with smoky cheese sauce. Also a delicious plate of nachos. I will say the staff here each one I saw or chatted with were really friendly and obviously very happy to be at work. Great little discovery recommend to us but expensive.

First time down there and won't be the last

Always a good atmosphere in here.

Good service and a great choice of beer

Hummus sandwich with hummus in a little pot on the side. Good job I like hummus

Yes! Good place for a few beers

Owner just kept maniacally laughing at his phone, whilst typing like he was trying to crush ants on the screen

Hier gibt es lecker Fish & Chips und andere Gerichte. Oder einfach nur das ein oder andere Ale genießen.

El lugar es increíble, mesas al sol y al costado del río. La comida está muy bien, tienen platos tradicionales.

Fantastic riverside terrace, superb northern pie, great pints

Good food, nice selection of beers and a sunny little haven next to the river on the edge of town. Perfect for a long lazy lunch
