The Sheffield Arms in North Lincolnshire

Visiting family , had dinner in the local village pub. Great friendly service . Good sized portions

Fantastic pub, wish it was my local...staff all very friendly and helpful. Pub is very dog friendly 🐕 we had a lite bite fish finger sandwich, delicious 😋 well presented with salad and a side of lovely chip's... We'll definitely be coming back 👍

Not bad food for the price, but we hit on a bad night for the chips, they were small and crispy not at all what we were expecting after previous reviews and the lasagne was covered in a tomato sauce which overpowered it. Atmosphere was spoilt by a group at the bar who were extremely loud and their language left something to be desired. We shan't be rushing back.

Carvery excellent , beer very good ,staff helpful .

Can't comment on rooms as didn't stay overnight. Food great and service top notch. A young front of house team that are outstanding.

Visited a number of times as the Sheff is our local and we have never been disappointed, the food is great, portion sizes are excellent so we have no idea what is on the desert menu. There is a decent range of beers on tap, and the staff is always welcoming, and nothing is too much trouble. All in all a great local which we will continue to support.

A first visit to this local pub just for food not accommodation, first impressions are good, it's a big old building that is kept in good order , parking is around the back which is well lit and tidy. Inside the pub its cosy & welcoming a couple of electric fires to give an impression of a real coal fire which would be nice, as its such a traditional interior, a Scottish tartan plaid wall paper , pictures of deer on table place mats gives a country feel to the place , so the menu is nice & small with a good choice of homemade pies , burgers , chicken ,and some veggie options , they also have a nice carvery with 4 different meats good selection of vegetables which all looked very fresh. I went specifically for the mince beef suet pie but they don't make them any longer for the daily menu which has not been removed , but they still have it only on the Sunday carvery as an option. The selection of drinks are good lots on draught to choose from or non alcoholic choices too , food is traditional in nature but good , overall a 4 of of 5

Four of us went for the Sunday carvery, I had previously booked so our table was ready for us. Drinks prices were good, staff polite & helpful. I could not fault the selection of meats ,vegetables etc. Lovely fresh food in a warm & welcoming pub/restaurant. Will definitely visit again.

After the pub being run into the ground for some time the present management have really turned things around. Fine beers and the best carvery I have ever had.

just had a wonderful carvery lunch here .Food beautifully cooked , good chice of meats and good portions.Staff friendly and welcoming , could not fault it. Glad we managed to climb that steep hill up to it

Very disappointed to have to rate my experience but having booked a New Year's Eve Dinner for 4 people at 8pm back at the beginning of December I was rang 3 days before the evening to tell me I couldn't eat at 8pm as they Newwere finishing service at 6pm!!!!.... Where else at such short notice was I likely to make another booking after being offered 6pm to eat. Too short notice and they needed to have decided on timings much sooner. Do they want to be a Dining pub restaurant or just a pub !!!!

Attended just before Christmas as a family group of 7. Firstly, great to see the Sheff open again. We had the Christmas lunch. The food was excellent. Thick slices of turkey, great vegetable selection (served separately) and extra gravy for those who like to flood the plate, portions were huge but the food was delicious. Good choice of desserts too. Had a good look at the carvery and the food looked just as good, Great choice of beers at the bar with a few independent beers on tap plus the usual suspects and a good choice of draught lager too! Staff were brilliant. Attentive without being intrusive and anticipated all pur needs. If you live locally, please use it or lose it. Be great to have the place back as a community venue. We will be back

We are from down south visiting family and we came here for lunch and drinks on the 1st night, amazing staff, drinks and atmosphere . We came back for dinner and the food is to die for. You don't get anything close to this near where we live. The proper homemade chips, the Yorkshire pudding wrap, lasagne, hunters chicken and steak were out of this world. Puddings, brownie, lemon meringue, and hot chocolate fudge amazing. Fresh home cooked, great portions, beautiful tasting food, great atmosphere, clean and cosy. You can't ask for more.

Lovely evening, they even brought some ends of meat for my dog and the manager tucked a napkin in her jumper to serve her. Definitely come again

After hearing many good reports, we booked for a meal yesterday. The first thing that we noticed was the 'buzz' about the place - happy people! The refurbishment has been sympathetic, and the use and decor of the "Pool Room" is to be applauded. The food was REALLY enjoyable, and the service was brilliant. We had the carvery, and will return to sample the menu. With 3 Lagers, 3 Ciders, and John Smith's on tap, plus 4 Cask Ales on offer; there's a lot of choice at the bar (I'm a fan of Timothy Taylor's "Landlord").

This is a Punch Tavern pub. Its a joke...if its open it runs out of beer...its had no food for at least 4 years. When they have beer its 50p a pint more expensive than other venues locally. When is a pub not a pub???? When Punch Tavern ruin it. At the heart of the village and dead. Avoid at the moment if its ever open.

Great hub for the village. Very welcoming and good beer garden in the sunshine. Lovely pint of cider- Aspels - so good we went back the next day. LImited food options - fish and chips Friday. Burger on a Saturday. Didn't try so cannot comment about the food.

I don’t usually do this but I think it’s important to share. We have been staying in the village of Burton with our small dog and some friends. We popped into the Sheffield Arms Friday and we had a fantastic day. The lady behind the bar was friendly, attentive and despite been rushed off her feet remained polite and courteous even when she had some issues with the pumps. Everybody respected her and her dealing with it in a calm manner. We returned later in the evening to see the band perform. She had moved from the bar and the young lad working again was great. Having noticed us come in she came over apologised for any delay she might have caused us earlier in the day and thanked us for returning. It didn’t appear that she was working during in the evening but was there keeping on top of everything along side the bar man. The locals were saying how great of a barmaid she is and that the landlady was lucky to have her. Having been told about a burger van attending the Saturday we returned. What a difference. The barmaid or so we thought on the Saturday sat behind the bar vaping, swearing loudly, barely able to string sentence with out some form obscenity! Having gone outside for a cigarette my husband returned to say that there is the landlady. He’d been speaking to someone who had said that she always behaved like this and that in turn locals had began avoiding the pub unless they knew for sure one of the two staff members were working. It is a real shame that in this case the person at the top is failing what is a fantastic pub with great staff. (Based on the two we had the pleasure of Friday) we’ve been told that her behaviour is something of a running joke within the village with her regularly getting drunk and performing like a wild animal abusing customers verbally. Perhaps she should consider a different career. Hospitality is not suited to everyone. On a positive note, the lady working friday. You are brilliant at your job, a lovely person and how you managed alone under the circumstances without losing any of your grace is admirable. She never stopped cleaning, serving and hosting. You should apply for management positions. You certainly meet the criteria.

A really strange place this and to be honest I am surprised it is still in business. The place was very unwelcoming and the bar tender would rather carry drinks to the tables of locals then serve you when your stood at the bar. No food was on offer, not even breakfast. A strange selection of beers with only half decent beer being bottles of black sheep! I only found out about the food situation after booking - after all I did search for bed AND BREAKFAST! The village where it’s located is quite nice and scenic, therefore the pub doesn’t appear to fit the bill. Now although the address on here states Scunthorpe as the address it’s actually quite a few miles outside, and when I asked where the nearest food was they said “in Scunthorpe” It was cheap £30 and that really is the only thing going for it. Showers and toilets are communal in the corridor. Suppose you get what you pay for but I wasn’t particularly looking for cheap. It’s a real shame because you can see the potential in the place - just needs some different thinking.

Despite the signs outside and various webpages, it's closed during the day apparently Another couple just turned up too, so it's not just us who have walked to enjoy a visit but been unable to

My friends and I visited the pub for some food on Sunday 1/8/21. Firstly, the young girl who served us needs a supply of masks. If she's going to wear one then at least make sure it's clean. It was a one use mask and it was absolutely filthy. Gross! Secondly, my friend spilt some drink on the table, we asked for a cloth and she used one that was black, it looked like it had been used to wash out ashtrays. Fortunately I had some antibac wipes in my bag and we used them to clean everything, place mats, cutlery, glasses. However, food was freshly cooked and piping hot but we were all very wary of eating and ending up ill. Pub really needs to up the hygiene as it ruined what could be a lovely place to go.

We visited here with friends all we can say is a pub without” beer on tap “ there was only carling & strong bow but no beer only bottled and the guy serving looked only 15 a young girl was collecting glasses with her mask round her chin and inside looked so dated and dirty not like a previous visit definitely gone downhill and the glasses were filthy yuk

Excellent food reasonably priced great staff dog friendly. Good outside space in lovely village with plenty if walks

Having eaten there yesterday, the food was delicious, the atmosphere was good and friendly. The staff were very professional even with a very rude customer, who complained about his food even though he had eaten it all and then refused to pay. I will definitely eat there again.

Menu breached Trades Description Act. Food not as advertised...Some inedible...only one box standard real ale. Told by owner "nobody else has ever complained"..... Various things described on menu do not match the actual product. Not to be recommended.

I live very close to The Sheff. Do not eat there that often. However, family visited over the weekend, so we decided to go for a Sunday carvery, also a meal through the week. Service was outstanding, food was excellent. Mum in law says that it was the best fish and chips she has ever had. For the carvery I had gammon. Superb. I would so recommend a visit.

We organised a buffet here for around 50 family and friends following the funeral of my Mother-in-Law. Debbie was very helpful and nothing was too much trouble. The food was well laid out and there was a really good selection of sandwiches, pastries, snacks, salads and cakes together with tea and coffee. This was all at a very reasonable cost per head. Any food left at the end was available to box up and take with us. Thanks for a great experience.

I went for a family meal latest night (9th february) and I have never had such horrendous service or been so humiliated in my life! Here's a run down of my night: I arrive and stand at the bar waiting to be served. The lady finishes serving a customer and ignores me. A gentleman behind the bar serves someone then proceeds to talk to his friends ignoring me. The lady who ignored me then seated people who arrive after I did. I then sit down to watch and wait 15 minutes before I have to ask for menus for me and my family. We order our food and are told there is a wait (unsure why his was advised as we was given our food before the table next to us who ordered 1st. The person who brought the food ran from the table faster than Usain Bolt not asking if we wanted/needed anything. We are ignored for a further 10 minutes. I get the attention of the original lady who ignored me at the start of the night. It turns out our side was never written down and was sarcastically told salt is on the table when I had meant to say vinegar was needed. No spoons given for the mayo and tomato sauce and the smallest ramekin of sauce was given for a family of 3. It took a further 10 minutes for this and the sides to be brought out. My partners jumbo fish was not jumbo and missing fish inside (ie it wass half a fish). The chef/tenant running through pub came out of the kitchen and all I can say is she was clearly looking for an argument! She had ripped the fish apart and like I say proceeded to argue with us! Tables was staring at us! All other tables was attended to as you would expect and we was ignored! The lady who ignored us all night told the table next to us they could only have 1 menu to look at desers as all others was out! Well all I'll say is if the 3 on our table had of been taken after our order had been taken you would of had the other 3 you needed. I work in customer service and the service we received was nothing short of shocking. It's a shame as I love in the village and I will never return not even for a drink!

Wife and I have visited a few times at lunch time, last night with the family was the first time for an evening meal. What can I say, from the warm welcome from the landlord to the great banter had with the staff, throughout our stay, it was an enjoyable evening. Throw in some reasonably priced and great tasting food, out of the 9 of us eating nobody could find fault.

Recently stayed at a nearby caravan site and wanted somewhere to eat out. We went with friends and had 3 dogs. The pub is lovely clean and great service with well kept beer. We ordered a hunters chicken and 4 steak pies. They went and made the pies from fresh,well the pastry anyway and it was awesome with real chips which is a rarity it self these days. If your in the area please try it.

We came across this place on our drive home and really enjoyed it. Lovely decor, family friendly and reasonably priced

Lovely pub and the food was gorgeous. Those who left a poor review must have been very unlucky if they are being honest. We had great service and the best ever gammon, chips, tomatoes,egg, pineapple and peas. Dogs very welcome in non carpeted areas (plenty of room) with water out for them. Beautiful building with lovely walks nearby.

The most appalling meal of fish and chips I've ever tasted. The chips were burnt black on the outside, not cooked through, leaving the centre hard and raw, and the chips had absorbed quantities of fat. When I complained, the "cook" brought me another helping of the same! I shall not be returning.

Been here a few times now and always get a warm welcome and good food. It makes a change to find a place that will adapt the menu to suit its customers needs. It is a tad on the expensive side but this is definitely a case of you get what you pay for.

Sunday carvery. Choice of 3 meats. Great selection of vegetables. And today they had a home made Sticky Toffee Pudding, which really tempted me. But they also had a home made Bakewell Tart. Tough decisions had to be made. I had the Sticky Toffee pudding, which was absolutely fantastic. Then I requested a couple of pieces of Bakewell Tart to take home! Tough decision made, and a nice Bakewell Tart for tomorrow’s lunch

I visited with friends that are not from round here and we decided to go on a Thursday night for a evening meal. The building was really nice and looks lovely but unfortunately we found the food expensive and also the drinks for what it is. The food was ok but If I’m in the area again I wouldn’t rush back, the bonus was the landlord was very friendly.

A return visit to this pub, it was on a day we did a 6 mile walk, menu offered plenty of choice and we chose differently, homemade burger with beautiful big homemade battered onion rings served with real "CHUNKY" chips (some places state chunky chips but you get frozen chips) These were homemade and tasted proper chips. Battered haddock was a very good size and well battered. Due to the large portion sizes we resisted desserts. We'll be back again

I cannot fault this wonderful pub. I have recently moved to the area and have eaten here a number of times.

My wife and I went for a quiet meal together before the Christmas madness starts. The hosts were very welcoming and seated us promptly. The atmosphere was both warm and welcoming. Very Christmassy. The food came hot and very well presented. Menu is limited but does have a good selection. The taste was as it should and can’t complain on the size of portion either. This is above normal standard for pub grub. Recommend a visit. Staff are tentative and informative and on most occasions satisfy most requests with a smile and prompt. Great little place and quite surprised on many levels. Give it a go

Visited this pub 3 days out of the 4 we were staying in the area. We ate here 3 times and each time we both had an excellent meal. Especially the rib eye cooked to perfection.

We ordered Sunday dinner it was hard to find the meat the plates were cold the food was equally cold. We reported this to waiter there was no reply just Ill let the chef know who then stared from the kitchen at us When we payed to who we believe was manager he said it was a relief chef apologised and asked us to pay for just 1 dinner

First time here for some years. I had a fillet steak which was excellent but a tad expensive for pub grub. I'm being a bit picky because my meal was excellent. Others in our party were not so complimentary. My wife's chicken burger wasn't a burger it was a lump of chicken in a bun. The veggie option was OK. Overall it was a decent pub lunch but some work is needed to get five stars. Would visit again though.

Food delious we had a Sunday roast was lovely and plenty of it wasn't rushed out staff very friendly and efficient.

Went in at 4-30 on Sunday 6th August all 4 of us were made to feel very welcome by the landlord,didn't think we would be able to get a Sunday lunch but we did,the meal and starter were perfect,thourghly reccommend it

Nos fuimos a este pub en la oportunidad durante un paseo. Nos recibieron cálidamente por el gerente y recibidos con el perro que estaba siempre con un tazón de agua y algunos bits de la propina de la cocina.

Como un montón de pubs de hoy en día el Sheffield tiene armas de nuevo cambiado de dueño. Fuimos a la hora del almuerzo y hay un buen menú variado. Yo tenía el pescado y las patatas fritas, que estaban muy bien preparadas, aunque había muchos de patatas fritas (no es una queja), mi amigo tenía el bocadillo de cerdo con ensalada, cálido tanto disfrutamos de nuestras comidas que servían muy rápidamente por el personal muy cortés y eficiente.

Came with large group from New Zealand .had 11 meals .all food was spot on.highly recommend this place. Staff all very helpful and polite

Terrible choice of meal even though it was sold as a special at £19.95.No veg just potatoes and gravy accompanied the chop.

My husband was born and bred in this lovely village. He has seen many people behind the bar in the Sheffield Arms. We have been in the pub twice this week and have been let down both times. I was called a fella, I clearly look like a woman . Waited about 5 minutes for someone to serve us after being called a fella. We asked for some drinks tonight, wanted fruity cider but they didn't have any so we got cider with blackcurrant, paid for blackcurrant but if we got a dash that is an exaggeration. We got served drinks then two minutes later got told to drink up and leave, as if anyone can drink that quick. The little guy behind the bar just stood with his arms crossed looking at us. The tall guy just told us he did us a favour serving us then quickly walked away. When they put the drinks on the bar, they put them down with such force some of the drink spilled out. Why they would put people that don't come from a nice village into a village pub is ridiculous,

Food was very average. The chilli starter burnt our lips. And I'm able to eat a vindaloo. Won't be visiting again and we live in the village.

We popped in for a drink with our 2 dogs on 22nd April we were made welcome by the bar staff and manager the dogs got fresh water and treats and we had 2 drinks. Would definitely visit again when we're in the area.

Good location in a pleasant village. Parking and good outdoor area for warm evenings.Relatively new team in charge, took over in January.Rather dated interior, perhaps defined as quaint. Reasonable range of beers and menu for lunchtime.Competent service at what was a very busy time. Clearly room for improvement on food delivery time, one table, not ours, waited over 45 minutes.Food average on quality and quantity. Would look forward to visiting again to assess progress.

Under new management so decided to give it a try. Food was average but overpriced. But our worst experience was the appalling customer service.The landlord was rude and unprofessional. The whole experience was awful, not one I would want to repeat and will not be returning.Sorry, we will not be booking another planned event for family and friends, which is a shame as it's our local village pub

Six weeks with a new landlord, food was excellent with large portions and some of the best chips I have had in ages. Several specials in addition to a decent menu. Also caters for the older person with smaller portions of anything on the main menu. I can recommend this place.

We went with friends for a meal on tues night sat at our table with a drink a very warm welcome from sahra ordered our food which was a while coming but well worth the wait . Yet again the girls done us proud the food was very tasty and good and hot,we all had different things, we went home very full and satisfied,keep it up .

Out with family to celebrate a retirement, eight people with 3 children. Had a great night. Service was good and the food was excellent.The garlic mushroom started was really nice and very filling. Everyone enjoyed it and we will certainly be back again for more.

Food was poor , service also, however the lack of customer service and aggressive attitude to believing that they were right and we were wrong in particular accused us of never wanting to pay for our meal in the first place was appalling

My husband and I had booked a table for two last Saturday at quite short notice but were fitted in.We knew that the place had changed hands once more and it had been recommended to us by some friends. TheMenu offered a number of choices for me and I chose the chicken in thyme and my husband the fish and chips.The food arrived on plates (great none of this slate tile and pretend deep fat fryer basket stuff). Both meals were excellent, tasty and hot. As usual I had to have a sweet - chose the New York Cheesecake which was fantastic. A lovely meal and we will come back. Well done to the three ladies and the charming young waiter who had to cope with a slight problem with a party of four later on, pleased to see you kept your cool!

Asked for a pint of Doombar not available, not a good start. Asked for menu, told that there was only Sunday roast available, pork or beef or both, it is going down hill quickly. Starter of pate was fine, good portion and tasty. Meals came out, pork plate looked anaemic no colour what so ever and meat covered in gravy, vegetables served seperately which were over cooked, meat was tough, yorkshire pudding was hard and yet more gravy was served seperately, we were hungry so we ate it. I will not be rushing back here in the near future.

The meal was fantastic the two girls who run it were absolutely brilliant.We were made to feel very welcome they could not do enough for us.We also had our little dog poppy with us and she was very welcome also.We will certainly be going again as soon as we can.I would not hesitate to recommend the Sheffield arms to anyone who wants a fantastic meal and a very pleasant atmosphere.

As a local, I've seen the Sheff Arms change hands very often. The latest owners offered fantastic customer service and were very eager to impress. I couldn't fault the Sunday roast - £6.95 for beef, yorkshire pudding, roasties and all the trimmings. Got the pâté starter as well, it was ace. The beer is still relatively pricey but that's the fault of the greedy parent company, not the staff. I'll certainly be going back!

We were researching for somewhere to hold a small 60th Birthday dinner for about 10 people. It was quiet in the pub only 4 of us and another table of 4 ordering dinner. It took nearly an hour for our food to come out and we only ordered main courses. The lamb shanks were very tasty, tender and fell of the bone the gravy was a bit sparse, the creamy chicken pie was a bit lack of creamy so quite dry even with gravy. Chicken stroganoff was not a typical stroganoff more of a goulash and quite greasy."Chicken Stroganoff is a Russian inspired dish, made with sauté chicken, onions, Dijon mustard, crushed tomatoes and Double Cream!"Whilst we understand the pub is in transition of ownership we decided not to book our event here for our visiting guests. Nice pub with great interior but food service is key in this trade nowadays.

Had a lovely meal here last night. Very pleased to see the pub has (again) a new landlady but this time someone who really wants to serve good food and nice wine in a friendly environment. If you haven't been for a while I encourage you to try again.

Having walked my dog on Burton hills we decided to go for lunch at the Sheffield arms. So pleased we did as we were greeted with lovely friendly staff who couldn't do enough for us. The food was all homemade and we sat outside in the lovely garden enjoying the sun. They also said dogs are allowed inside in the winter which is nice to know. Would defiantly recommend this pub.

A great place to eat very tasty food .very friendly staff with a great cat call Colin .well worth a vist

Great Sunday lunch. Nice and tender meat. Staff very friendly and relaxed atmosphere. 5* service. Dog friendly which is always a bonus. We will be coming back again.

OK we went to this long standing pub in December and found the new young landlord to have an attitude of cleverness. He argued with me which in my book is fatal hence my review. I knew what I ordered an he was very pushy to say otherwise. The food however was acceptable until I realized their health award was zero or there abouts! Bad combination having poor hygiene AND an attitude. We had pork and crackling as a Christmas pre ordered special. Very nice no problems. Since December or January this year new management and to be honest I've been reluctant to return so I can't comment on the current situation. Give it a go and then review on here?

Staying at local caravan site who assured us it was dog friendly. Popped in late afternoon to enquire if it was ok to eat that evening with our dog and were told by a gentlemen that that would be fine. Arrived and was told could only sit in the corner of the pub which was occupied the other two tables were low small round ones totally unacceptable for eating we understood we could not eat in the restaurant but thought the bar was ok why was this not told to us when we enquire earlier in the day !!!! They had no traditional ales on no Kroneburg larger and when asked for some bottled water was told they dont sell it !!!!!! The restaurant was empty and pub very quiet I WONDER WHY !! We left and drove to a lovely friendly restaurant where we had a nice meal. We definitely won't be recommending this pub to the other caravaners.

5 family members out for late lunch. We were the only people in thr restaraunt but it was late for lunch. Served by excellent staff member who pointed out special things on the menu. Helpful and attentive.

Went for a meal with a few friends. My friend had a large fish. It looked huge on the plate but after eating a few mouthfuls it was evident that it was the pub's sacrificed goldfish amidst a ton of batter. My friend complained to the 'waiter', who clearly had no experience and went to seek advice. He needn't have bothered. He apologised with a huge smile on his face, (he clearly needs to work on this...) and no more was done. My friend then asked if it was possible to have a dessert or a coffee, perhaps free of charge to compensate for the appalling meal. Again, off the waiter went to seek advice, and when he came back, told my friend that she couldn't do this.At this point we decided that we didn't want to spend any more money in an establishment where customer service clearly wasn't valued so we went to pay. After waiting at the bar for at least ten minutes, whilst the barman laughed and joked with customers at the bar while completely ignoring us, we eventually managed to pay, (although to be honest no one could have blamed us if we had simply walked out).The whole experience wasn't one we want to repeat so will not be returning. Sorry Sheffield Arms, you really need to try harder...

Visited for lunch, service was disorganised and slow. Did not feel the kitchen was prepared to serve food, which turned out to be poor for the money, Triple cooked chips were soggy and tepid. Fish cakes tasted okay but were greasy and competing with the chips for times cooked, what would of been a lovely fresh salad was spoiled by too much dressing it would have been better with a light vinegarette to balance the grease and no garden peas. It's a while since the last poor meal I had in this pub and can say I will not return to eat.

Had a lovely lunch after popping in.Great fast service and the chips are to die for..delicious!! would return just for these.Great selection of beers .Big Thumbs up.

Quite a cosy pub interior and friendly waiters however, the food was terrible.We booked a table for an early Christmas Eve dinner and ordered the steak and ale pie. While the flavour was fine, all three servings must have been on their second or third re-heating because the meat was so dehydrated you could barely cut it. The pastry was also dried out and completely stuck to the dried meat underneath. I'm sure that if this had been freshly prepared it would have been absolutely fine so how on Earth could any reasonable cook have allowed this to have been served to customers?In addition, the chips smelt and tasted overwhelmingly of old cooking oil and therefore again, were inedible.To add insult to injury, one of our party ordered a black coffee which was so pale it looked like weak tea and clearly was instant. We took this back to the bar, expecting a new cup but half an hour later this had still not arrived. When we settled our bill, the barman made a point that we would not be charged for the coffee. I should think not!! Although three different members of staff enquired about our meal, and were given the feedback described above, not one offered any good-will gesture or recompense for such a poor experience. What a shame - we will not be returning. Having recently moved into the area we were hoping this would become our 'local'.

We booked a table for 4 and sat in a cosy corner of the pub which was decorated beautifully for Christmas. Our food order was taken by the waiter who was extremely helpful. The menu was extensive with a good price range. I opted for a steak burger with onion rings and thrice cooked chips. It was gorgeous - the best onion rings I've ever had and the chips were divine. This dish came in at just under £6 which is astonishing value for money. Will definitely be returning!

Been going to the Sheffield Arms in Burton-on-Stather on and off for 40 years. It is again under new management with a new menu and new chef in the kitchen.Food was certainly hearty. The steak and ale pie was very tasty although should have been served a bit hotter and possibly with an option of smaller portions for the ladies, my wife had to leave half of hers! The taster deserts were a good idea and the staff were friendly.

Attended a tasting evening at The Sheffield Arms last week. The canapes presented were all delicious. Can't wait to visit in the near future for an evening meal.

Good quality food cooked as you require for a reasonable price. It is a regular haunt for us. Well worth a try.

We like senior portions at this establishment, the prise is a bonus but the size of the regular steak pies is too large so pensioners fare is just right.Good food well cooked and served by friendly staff. It will not be long to our third visit.

Lovely staff nice atmosphere food really excellent usually too full for deserts"..please put your chicken curry back on the menu

We, as pop stars tend to say,discovered this place after 30 years in the area!!!.The Pub/Restaurant was nicely decorated, the welcome genuine and the mealwas of excellent quality, cooked to our taste and quickly served. Service wasunobtrusive, prompt and pleasant. What's not to like?.

Having see my son and two of his best friends of the past 10 years of to their end of year school prom, the proud parents decided on a meal to celebrate. Six of us sat down to eat in the restaurant. Charlotte the waitress could not have been more welcoming. I had the pulled pork salad as a starter which was very tasty. The Beef and Ale pie for main course was amazing, Good size portions, not too big but sufficient, chips to die for. Sadly I had no room for a desert, which if I am honest was very restricted because I am diabetic. I would how highly recommend the Sheffield Arms, six very happy customers who WILL be back for more.....

All four of us the party had beef and ale pie which was excellent quality and very good value . Tried a local pale ale who's name unfortunately escapes me but that was excellent also

Best Landlord & Landlady ever !I have been visiting the Sheffield Arms for almost 50 years now and have known around a dozen Landlords during that time, many of them good, some of them indifferent, to put it kindly but none of them ever ran the pub and restaurant with such cheerful and friendly efficiency or with such high quality food on offer as the current incumbents.Gillian and Jim are a credit to their profession and long may they continue to run this village pub like the gem that it really is.

Superb steak and burger. We where informed they where supplied by local butcher in Winterton I will certainly be paying them a visit. Great value for money good quality food. Excellent friendly service. Would highly recommend a visit. We where informed that the new summer menu as starting in June.

Visit here to eat on an almost weekly basis. Food is excellent, freshly cooked and with generous portions. Good choice on specials board with fish dishes especially to be recommended. Not cheap, but in line with others of same standard. Staff are always cheerful, polite and professional.

I tried it a few weeks ago with family and the food was ok it looked a bit bland on the plate. And was expensive for what it was ? don't know wether chef changedDrinks was expensive .Other alternative places to try I like riverside restaurant at ferry house inn just down the hill from Sheffield arms great location by river just opened in May 2015 , bay horse at whittingham and George hog at winter ton.I would go back and try again as could be one off!!!!!!!

new to the area we are exploring and trying different places. This is the first one that we have said we would definitely return. Saturday lunch, friendly, helpful staff, warm cosy environment. I had lasagne, my partner had the Sheffield burger. Both nicely presented, well cooked and very tasty. Good sized portions and very reasonably priced. We will be back

The Sheffield Arms is a typical English pub run by a lovely couple, Jim and Gillian who are the friendliest of landlords/ladies you could ever meet.Jim is the chef as well as the landlord and runs a classical family friendly pub with no music, no anti-social behaviour, a delight to visit these days.The food is excellent, not fancy or flashy but good and wholesome and served perfectly by cheerful staff. Nothing is too much trouble and these are people who take an obvious pride in delivering quality food and drink with great humour and skill.

Visited this pub early one Saturday evening while visiting family in Scunthorpe. We arrived quite early and it was fairly quiet then but it was buzzing when we left over two hours later. All the staff we encountered were very friendly and helpful. Service was prompt and attentive without being fussy and we were not at all rushed. There was plenty of choice on the menu and a specials board too. Also a couple of real ales on the bar. There were five of us in the party and we all had a starter and a main course and everyone was very happy with the quality of the food. All in all well worth a visit.

This was always the best gastropub locally (back before gastropubs existed)A grand old building and pub that has been sorely let down by a procession of uncaring/incompetent owner/operatorsIt is now (thanks to the chef Neil...who I know from The Gallows restaurant at its best) and decent hosts, improving in leaps and bounds.We stopped over for a Sunday Lunch, which was of generous size and quality taste.The Doom bar was excellent.The staff were friendly, helpful and obviously enjoying their wwork.What more do you expect/want from a local pub?

Had a meal there tonight which was very disappointing. My steak tasted almost off, the chips were slightly under-cooked and the gammon tasted smoked. In fairness, we weren't charged for one of the meals, but as we hadn't eaten out in ages, we were gutted. The staff were very good and even the chef came to talk to us. The trainee waitress was doing well too. Real shame though because it's just another local eatery off our list of places to go. Maybe we were just unlucky.

Called in today as we were in Burton upon Stather and had an excellent meal. Impressed by the choice on the menu and the specials board. Very pleasant and helpful staff. Both meals were beautifully presented. Steak and ale pie was very good. Better than usual pub food..... and very good coffee to finish with. We considered our meal great value for money.

Reviewed this place around a year ago following a visit where we left before the food was served due to rude member of staff and shocking service, however, we have been back twice during the last week and on both occasions the food was excellent - home cooked not your usual microwave fare that we see in most of the pubs around Scunthorpe. Doom Bar ale was excellent and all staff were very efficient and friendly. When we received our bill there was an incorrect drinks item on there which was promptly removed along with deducting a pint from our bill by way of an apology - not many places would do that nowadays!! Keep up the good work

We ate here at the weekend 2nd Aug 2014. From the minute you walked in you got a very warm welcome. The place has been refurbished since we were last there and it's been done up beautifully, very in keeping with such an old pub. The menu choice and specials board had a good varied choice. The starters and main were excellent, so much food we took some home for the dog, unfortunately it left no room for a pudding, but we'll leave that for another time as we will definitely be returning. The waitress was a breathe of fresh air, so friendly and efficient, a great asset. Although the food was a bit more pricey than other pubs we've eaten at I think that was reflected in the quality and quantity. We would not hesitate in recommending The Sheffield Arms.

Had a meal last night 4 of us I had the pie .The worst pie I have ever had.Bay leaves on the bottom of pie you did not know they were there until you were chewing for all your worth and not getting anywhere.The price of the drinks were extortionate.£4.25 for a bottle of Cider and £5.50 for large glass of wine.

I've visited the Sheffield Arms for food at least 4 times in recent months.It is a great location for walks and cycling.The staff are welcoming, beer fine, food better than you normally get in a pub, prices about what you'd expect in a quite smart pub, and I'm happy to cross the river and drive 20 miles to get there.

Poor ales.Substandard food, microwaved.Beef in ale pie returned as when crust lifted to let out superheated steam it revealed only 2 chunks of meat.Daughter burnt mouth on similarly amateur prepared dish.Not a happy visit.

We had our wedding reception for 20 people at the Sheffield Arms on 9th May. We live locally and are a mature couple and this was the perfect place for us to hold a small, intimate reception for our close family and a few close friends. We had the restaurant area to ourselves for the evening.Jim and Gillian seemed to enjoy helping us plan the event. We offered our guests a choice from a small menu that we chose together and everyone said how much they enjoyed the food which was tasty and beautifully presented. We had peach bellinis on arrival which were really refreshing and made by the staff. The tables looked absolutely lovely as we arrived. We had music of our own choosing played throughout the evening.Nothing was too much trouble for Jim and Gillian and the rest of their staff. Our compliments to the chef Neil and we offer our enormous thanks to all concerned for making this such a memorable occasion.

So far we've eaten a couple of times in the bar as they allow us to bring our dog. So we thought we'd give the restaurant side a go when family came up to stay from London.Firstly it nice to see that there is a good head of staff and they all know what they are doing. Our order was taken swiftly and the food arrived in good time. Everyone enjoyed the generous portions and commented on how tasty it was. The girl serving our table was very polite took our dessert orders, again the portions where generous and the quality higher than you'd expect in a pub/restaurant. At the end of the meal, drinks and desserts included we'd spent less than £20 a head. Great value, great service and delicious well prepared and presented food. Will be back for more for sure. Full marks.
