The Riverside in Sheffield

Went for Christmas party - moved to a table in the middle of the restaurant rather than the snug. Place was overcrowded with louts and the DJ deafeningly loud, making it impossible to converse. Food was poor including highlights such as; one slice of beef, one roast potato, half a carrot and half a parsnip. Pea & Mint soup was nice, probably bought from the TESCO round the corner. Would not recommend

Excellent food, great beers and friendly staff.

Fuimos a las 7 pm. personal agradable. buena comida. gran tamaño de la porción. Lo único es que habríamos parado toda la noche, pero no podías oírte pensar con música, salimos y todavía no podíamos hacer nuestro año una vez al año ponerse al día.

The Riverside never disappoints. Great food and at 50% off! If you like real ale and good honest pub food I cannot recommend it highly enough

We went here for a Sunday roast after seeing it on instagram but it was really disappointing undercooked, hard veg, 2 undercooked (readymade) potatoes and flavourless thin gravy and no one checked how it was or cleared the tables or anything really the pie was ok 🆗 But it was £17.50 so far too expensive for a really poor meal! Overall no I wouldn’t recommend it or go back here much better places in Sheffield for a roast dinner! Sheffield vegan blogger 💚

Tasty beef sandwich at lunch time

Lovely pub, took my breadsticks tho :(

Nice garden and friendly staff. I love looking out at the water and seeing the bats in the evening.

Decent pub. Decent food. Quiz master is a knob however.

Nice pub. Good beers and atmosphere.

Beer was spot on but Ordered fishcake butty and chips, fishcake was raw in the middle . Got refunded so not an issue but won't be back.

Lovely pub, friendly staff, great outside area and a cracking range of beers across the whole spectrum👍

This place doesn't accept disabled people. Stay away if you have any heart. Was not allowed in because I have arthritis and cannot walk. I need a wheelchair and crutches but tried a night without and the bouncer decided I was too drunk. First time ever I faced this discrimination. Will never go here again

Great location for a beer with superb large beer garden. Highly recommend

Visitamos este lugar para conocer a un amigo. Hay algunos aparcamientos limitados en la carretera fuera de la cual es aparcamiento gratuito, que logramos encontrar un espacio. Habíamos reservado una mesa que el depósito se utilizó para la comida. Tienes que pedir comida y bebida en el bar. El lugar parecía bastante tranquilo cuando entramos, no hay un menú para niños el domingo. Para una copa me tomé una pinta de 'Stones' que era agradable y lo volvería a tener. Para la comida tenía el asado de la parte superior de la carne que era agradable, un montón de salsa que era bueno ver y un buen plato del tamaño de la porción. También pedimos guarniciones adicionales, las patatas asadas estaban bien cocinadas en 'goteo de carne', el único problema era que eran demasiado duras y crujientes, lo que hacía que comer fuera de ellas fuera difícil, así como cortarlas. El queso de coliflor estaba bien. Usted puede conseguir 3 lados por £ 10 de lo contrario es £ 4 cada uno. La comida que las otras personas en el grupo tenían estaba bien, sin embargo el '3 carne asada' domingo asado que una persona tenía, la carne no era la mejor y tuvo que ser dejarlos debido al sabor no correcto y duro. En general, la ubicación es buena, el aparcamiento puede ser difícil, así que caminar un largo camino es probable. La decoración es buena. La bebida es buena y la comida es en su mayoría bueno de lo que experimentamos, pero podría mejorarse. El precio es razonable. El personal parecía amable. Tenga en cuenta que también hay un 'sex shop con licencia' dentro de aquí.

We booked the snuggle room for my best friend's birthday Sunday lunch. A prepayment deposit had been taken in advance. Very limited car parking around, but we managed to find one. Staff were alright, made foods and drinks order at the bar. We ordered beef topside, brisket, and three meats sunday roasts plus £10 for 2 sides. Beef brisket and beef topside were super tender and wonderfully tasted as cooked fresh. However, the three meats roast plate was way too disappointed as the stuffing was cold, pork belly slightly sour and tasted not right, gammon not tasty and the beef thick cut was so dried. I regretted ordering that plate. I left the whole plate of meats. Wedges potatoes cooked in beef dripping was hard outter unpleasant to eat. All in all, some good and some bad. Please don't serve customers where meats you were unsure or not freshly cooked.

We had an absolutely amazing meal here. We've been searching for a place that serves a great roast dinner, and we finally found it! The food was delicious, and we will definitely be coming back. The staff were warm and welcoming, and the fact that the place is very dog-friendly was a huge bonus for us. Highly recommend!

Excellent Venue, one of Sheffield's many gems

Had a great pub meal and a good selection of beers. The service was good and at a fair price. Went on a Thursday and just turned up. Managed to find a table.

Went in for lunch. My wife had ordered a sharing platter which was absolutely delicious. It consisted of flat bread, olives, sun dried tomatoes, hummus, stuffed vine leaves, salad and calamari. Now, I like calamari a lot. And I’ve eaten plenty of it in my time. But this calamari was the best I’ve had. Great value for money. Will definitely go again for lunch. Prior to this visit, I’d gone in on nights out and always had a great time. So, I recommend that too. Plus it’s a great location.

Great location, back deck overlooking river. Pina Colada was lovely as well. Food was a letdown and certainly not value for price. Ordered a med salad bowl. No falafel so got the calamari. Several listed items were missing including salad dressing and calamari was very salty.

Good food, they also have half price burgers every Monday. These are good quality and large portions. Beer selection is good, they also serve 'Stones' on draft if you fancy an old style Sheffield beer.

Great location. Trendy / youngish crowd. Great in the summer sun.

Probably a very nice place and it certainly gets busy just not my type of venue

It was a lot better than when I have been previously much more outside seating would go again

Best pub in Sheffield town friendly staff amazing view

Visited here with my daughter and had a nice beer

Good beer garden, choice of ales and food.

Nice pub, good range of pale ales. I had a very nice half of Stone's. It has a food menu that looks good too but we didn't eat there this time.

My go to pub, always lovely. Great atmosphere.

Relaxed place for after work / pre night out drinks

Lovely staff made us feel very welcome, plus a great selection of beers

Nice and chilled atmosphere. Unfortunately not a lot available on the menu and still on a frustrating online ordering system which doesn't offer descriptions for all the items. However food was really lovely - would like to come back and try Sunday dinner. UPDATE: Very lovely staff and good selection of alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks. Menu is good however it is pricey for the food quality.

Uno de los mejores almuerzos de domingo que he tenido, a un buen precio también! Ambiente muy agradable con personal atento y amable. Asientos muy cómodos. Una buena selección de cervezas y vinos. En resumen, una experiencia muy feliz!

Decent pub, nice outside seating. Can't comment on the food as I didn't eat. Not badly priced given the area it's in.

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.

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 :)

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.

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.

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!

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

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!

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.
