The Shepley Spitfire Pub & Restaurant in Sheffield

Went for tea here this evening. I ordered a mixed grill. They asked me how I wanted my steak, I asked for medium rare, it came out over well done and was as tough as an old boot to chew. I’m not one for complaining usually but as the steak was un-edible and was the part of my meal I was looking forward to most I had to say something to the waiter. The waiter was professional and was very sorry and asked if I would like to speak to the manager, I said, no there is no need for that, I’m happy to settle for a free pint. He said he would speak to the manager for me. I waited for about 15 mins and eventually spoke to the waiter again and he just said sorry mate we can’t do anything. Terrible management and terrible chef! What’s the point in asking someone how they want their steak cooked if they just do the opposite anyway? Edit: The owner has replied to this review asking me to contact them to resolve this. I did give them the chance to resolve this when I was at their establishment but unfortunately for them they didn’t resolve it. It seems they only care when they receive bad public reviews :/

We went in at the weekend after a dog walk for the first time since the refurbishment and was happy to see the improved look. Great to see a busy pub with at atmosphere, a dog friendly area to sit and a pint of stella! There was a young lady working behind the bar who served us and she was a credit to the place. Friendly, chatty and made the effort to provide a good service!!

Friendly pub, apparently do food but there is always a reason they aren't serving when we arrive for food. So we've only had drinks since the last referb.

Wouldn't spend money on another meal here.

Fantastic beer garden, spacious, well maintained and surrounded by woodland. The food was great including the kids meals. Plenty of choice for drinks with very helpful and friendly staff. Will definitely be going more often. Well worth a visit.

Visited this place for a meal for the first time since the new landlord, Gary, took over (3 months ago). Unfortunately it hasn't got any better - worse if anything. Still no friendly welcome or smile from any of the staff, including the landlord; the kitchen wanting to close early; and apparently a kids meal isn't a kids meal unless you specifically ask for it. The meal comes with a drink and dessert for an extra £1, but because we didn't specifically ask for that when ordering they wanted to charge us an extra £5 to buy them separately. Given nowhere else operates like this I'd have expected a friendly "would you like the meal option" when ordering, or a friendly "sorry for the confusion, let's sort that out for you". But there's nothing friendly about this place at all! Recommendation - do yourself a favour and frequent the Castle or Crown instead.

After a recent refurbishment inside and out, this pub is the perfect family local. Food has improved vastly and landlord is very attentive. Dog friendly, children friendly, great local

Great local pub with a decent selection of beers and good food. Big beer garden at the back, good parking. The landlord is very friendly and accommodating, going ABCD to make the visit a pleasant experience.

What a fantastic local this is. The new landlord is a pleasure to talk to and always makes time for you. I've left the food at 0** as I've not tried the food yet but if it tastes as good as it looks when it comes out of the kitchen then there'll be no problems here.

We had a family wake and the service - staff - manager - and food were all excellent, kept in touch regarding the arrangements and offered to accommodate anything else we may needed even rang the day before to confirm. Their attentiveness on the day was just perfect. Thank you

Went in for food on a Sunday. Went to the bar to order food and then they told us they shut the kitchen early 😒

Was a very lovely and chilled experience for myself and my girlfriends while having a spot of lunch. Staff were very polite and friendly. And food was so tasty. Will definatley be going back.

Since new management has taken over the Shepley has improved ten folds. Food is great and service is nice and speedy. Would definitely recommend coming on a nice hot day to enjoy the beer garden too!

What can we say we had a party booked to say a final farewell to my mother in law. Every aspect of what was requested had been delivered and more. Gary and his team were fantastic in every way. The spread was out of this world. Fresh, plentiful and superb value for money. Thank you Gary and the team we will see you again soon.

I went last weekend to see the new refurb and it was good, enjoyed the food too and the service is great, will be back again soon

Our first time yesterday but I doubt it will be the last. Friendly staff, lovely food and decent prices

Best pub around! Totley has Ben crying out for a decent local for years now. Gary and his team have done a fantastic job, I love how attentive all the staff are, the food is fantastic and great value for money. Keep up the great work everyone. The community is behind you 100%

The Shepley has become a fresh looking, warm, and welcoming pub. It's walls are dorned with the pubs history, a smashing new dartboard, beautiful chairs and tables. The food was amazing, fresh, piping hot, and real value for money. Staff were really lovely. Gary was seen wiping tables, chatting to folks, and then he hosted the quiz (every Thursday). Me and my friend have decided the Shepley is now our goto pub for a meal and a catch-up. Nice one Team ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Popped in to nosy at the renovation it's not changed massively as it's always been a nice pub . The garden area is lovely so we sat outside .The barstaff were very friendly and chatty also helpful food was nice all in all worth a visit .

We live locally, and went to check out the improvements, having booked a table . Very disappointed ! We found a table and waited 25 minutes, in which time nobody even came to see if we wanted any drinks. Hardly anyone in , so no buzz . We assumed that the wait for food would be equally slow, and after a few more minutes we left and went to a local Carvery, There used to be some beautiful palms at the entrance , but they were put in a skip, apparently. The outside area looked as if all the money was spent there. We need a good "local ".

Myself and my Partner went a few months ago and were greated very nicely. service was good staff was nice till it came to the food, the food was not at all nice and we said that never again, we then found out that it had a full refurb so my Partner said come on lets try them once more give them a chance so off we went on Friday 24th May 2024. service again good staff good and friendly, but FOOD no still same very POOR and would not recommend to anyone. Partner had Rump steak you didn't even get mushrooms with it or any other trimmings with it the steak was like cutting into RUBBER bands. I had The Pie, Mashed Potatos and broccoli, gravy all was ok until it came to the meat in the pie that was very fatty.

Brilliant Dining experience,with a very helpful and courteous bar man.

This is now a good pub again 👍 the beer is good and the staff are fantastic. The food is pub grub however its all well presented and is nicely served. It's all good atm. Proud for it to be my local !

Assistant manager Dean is outstanding, just executed some fantastic customer service! Empty glasses collected and tables kept clean constantly. A great community pub with great staff. Couldn’t ask for more on our doorstep.

Fantastic beer garden, been a couple of times since the refurbishment already. First for a relaxing post work pint & again for their live music event featuring Indigo where it was certainly a more livelier atmosphere. The new landlord, Gary was very welcoming & devilered a great service. Will definitely be going again, especially when the Euros are on!

I stopped by the Shepley Spitfire in Sheffield recently and was impressed by the fresh new look after its refurb! The place is looking great, with a modern and welcoming atmosphere. I tried the brunch sandwich and it was delicious! The food was well-presented and tasted amazing. The service was also friendly and attentive. It’s clear that the team at Shepley Spitfire have put a lot of effort into the refurb and it’s paid off. I’d definitely recommend this spot for a tasty brunch or a casual meet-up with friends. Well done, guys!

Nice restaurant. Lovely food and atmosphere

Scrumptious food served in this fantastic local pub.

Nowt special. Just a proper, standard, estate pub. Good, basic, value pub grub. Well kept ales. Meticulously clean, pleasant and accommodating staff, good local clientele.

First visit... Delicious food, although a slightly reduced menu due to a change of ownership soon. Friendly staff.

Lovely pub with excellent staff. Warm and welcoming.

Brilliant place nice and clean tidy food was brilliant stuff was helpful and packing was good

I was with children. Got verbally abused by one of the customers who swore and told the children to F off. None of the staff did anything to help. I'll never go there again

I liked the style of this pub! Lovely place would definitely go again.

Member of staff threatened to spit in customers food during a disagreement , lots of shouting and screaming. Not professional.

Attended this pub on Saturday with my elderly parents and two young children (under 6) for something to eat and to also attend their kids Halloween party. What started as a lovely afternoon with guest appearances from Ken and Barbie (which my daughter loved) soon turned to a nightmare firstly a group of teenage girls started screaming foul language at everyone then a couple of tables of adults who’d clearly had too much alcohol started to argue amongst each other with one lady screaming that she will do more than spit in someone’s food, obviously a member of staff as she was seen going behind the bar. This comment was obviously unnerving as we had just eaten there. We left pretty sharp ish and will not be returning 😡

I wish this were our local! Sunday, our son had a football match then we decided to have a pub lunch, the Spitfire was suggested. Everything was to our liking: food, cleanliness, low-level music and friendly hosts. Our choices were steaks and chef's beef stew special + desserts. Ace!

Myself Karen and partner Steve went to Shepley Spitfire Saturday 26th Aug 2023 was greeted by the lovely Kirsty the service was brilliant and was made to feel very welcome. The food was great nice and hot and you got plenty the choice of desserts was good and a generous amount aswell. The place was very clean. It was our 1st time at Shepley and Spitfire but we can't wait to go again. Everything was 1st class service from beginning to end. See you at the weekend Kirsty 😊 (Come everyone give it a try you wont regret it)

Lovely food, brilliant staff, clean and friendly, you're missing out if you don't visit, beautiful history too.

We went for my sons birthday so there was quite a large party. Our table was all ready on arrival. The staff were all helpful and friendly. Our waitress was lovely. And the food was lovely too. We all really enjoyed it

Lovely pub, welcoming staff & management, great value food & drink, perfect venue for a celebration, milestone birthday or anniversary

Had an extremely busy day so called in for a drink and a bar snack. What a great atmosphere. Decided to go for the mushroom tortellini. I live with a family of vegitarians, vegans and other dilatory needs so mushroom wasn't enough. The Chef dressed it with strips of beef that were cooked to perfection. I am so glad I cancelled the bar snack and I cannot believe that I had an almost Michelin star meal in what, from the outside looks like a really nice run of the mill pub. Thank you guys. Absolutely incredible. After all that food I need to sleep. Not had a meal with so much flavour for many, many years incredible

A great starting point and end for our hike to get a drink. We had asked to book a table and asked if we'd be able to get food and they ensured us that we could but when we arrived after our long hike they'd already stopped serving food due to it being a quiet day! Understandable but a little disappointing when we were looking forward to a pub lunch at the end Dog friendly inside and out though which is a huge bonus!

Good beers the outdoor area is excellent set in a nice location

Brilliant afternoon of music, food & sport.

Nestled a lot closer to Dronfied and Sheffield than I thought this is a great boozer with a good outdoor space and rooms for drinking and dining inside. Whilst we had an issue with our food on the day, this was well dealt with by the manager. Good variety of drinks on offer and the perfect stopping point of a long dog walk (dog friendly, lots of bowls of water visible)

Good friendly pub good atmosphere.

Love the atmosphere in here, went walking with the dogs and stopped by. Had the 2 course, lovely, and great coffee too! Staff really nice, especially the manager.

Great food. Friendly staff and a really good experience.

We love dining in the Spitfire, not only is it beautifully decorated, the atmosphere is always so pleasant and the staff are always there to serve you with a smile. The food never fails to be a delicious meal, can’t wait to return again!!

Visited after a walk with friends, was on the way back. Got there around half 1, food was good, we had a few side dishes that were good and I had the 2 course lunch menu, delicious. Manager there was helpful and kind, lad behind the bar smiley. Will definitely return on next months walk 👍

Nice local pub, well presented, does food and has sky sports. It ticks a lots of boxes for me.

Not great most of the menu choices had run out and food didn't come out at the same time some of which was cold

Been here a few times lovely food staff are all very nice allways make you feel welcome i also bring a eldly gentleman to monthy friendship meal and singer he loves it enjoyed every month

Been 3 times and food poor everytime. Food forgotten to be made, then things missing off plate not in stock but not told when ordering, garlic bread made in microwave and soggy, partially frozen curry, mould on bread, upset stomach after. Front of house staff seemed lovely but definitely a microwave chef.... if that. Been for a quiz before which is good.

Just undergone a total revamp. Beer and food are reasonably priced. Staff are polite and attentive.

This was our first visit. We simply randomly picked the pub on one of our usual car rides. I was quite hungry and I went for lamb's liver and onions served over fluffy potato mash. Actually, I was quite happy that something like this was on the menu as one can get bored with burgers and chips. And when my food arrived, by the look of it I knew straight away that I have made the right choice. It was scrumptious! And the venue itself was very enjoyable and staff made us feel very welcome. We definitely will go to Shepley Spitfire again and we will recommend it to our friends and family. Thank you for having us.

4 of us went on New Year’s Day for lunch. The place is beautifully decorated, nice furniture, felt very clean, very helpful young man who seemed to be doing most of the serving. Food was typical pub grub, very tasty, nicely cooked. Menu very comprehensive lovely view from back room, watched squirrels rushing about. Will def go again.

Good place to catch the football and feed yourself at the same time.

Fantastic Meal, Great waiter, waitress service, would have been a five star Apart from putting your life at risk with the glass iced up car park. no attempt to put salt down! even after seeing a number of people commented on it. but nothing was done. hope no one fell or falls or your in trouble, Totley Sporting Chatter Group

Very friendly pub. Good prices too.

Last night we went for the first time as my family recommended it. Lovely decor theme etc, then a staff member was shouting at someone for talking to someone else so we left. VERY unprofessional and driving customers away. 🤬 More like a “youth club” than a public house. I’d recommend Cross Sythes where we went instead. Left anxiously and shocked. First time at Shepley and the last. Just being honest.

Very friendly and helpful staff, Good food at reasonable prices. Good service as well. We will be back.

Friendly staff well served, good selection of beers wines and spirits ,a good night was had by all .

The food, when it finally arrived and actually was what I had ordered, was nice, as were the drinks.

We went in for lunch after a walk in the country, the pub is lovely the staff are friendly but the food was not good at all. We all felt rubbish after we had eaten.

Good food nice staff child friendly xx

Great service, this place does not deserve 3.5 reviews, the staff are really attentive , Jo was amazing and for the price the food was fab, we had, 3 adult meals including a steak, 4 rounds of drinks and 1 desert, £53, which I think is amazing, this pub maybe a chain, but its run by locals and loved by locals, it was on a downer some years back, but it's certainly on its way up again, xxx

Nice cosy place, , love sports. Always enjoy time spent there. Definitely recommend

I've known about this pub for a while now and has been on my to do list for a while. So what better time to visit than on Spitfire day the 5th March when the Spitfire first took flight in 1936. This was my Birthday today and was the final destination of the day and to finish the day with a nice drink and evening meal. The feel was modern with lots of nice hints of the connections to the famous plane. The food menu was good and catered for most people's tastes. I just went for a starter and main meal which arrived quickly and alot of attention to detail from the staff to make sure you were happy. Spent a couple of hours there enjoying the evening atmosphere from the locals and finishing my Birthday on a worth while high.

A great little pub. A great story behind the pub's name as well. Good food and very reasonably priced.

3 real ales on offer, plus the usual supply of beers from the keg tap. A smart eatery pub with plenty of space and smart a decor. Clean and friendly. The staff are friendly and helpful too. A little quiet on this Saturday afternoon. But during this recent heat wave everywhere seamed quiet. A limited food menu today, but I'm sure this is just temporary. Still a good selection of food though and of a good quality. 3 of us enjoyed it today. Worth a visit for both food and beers.

Beer, crisps, nice outdoor area, didn't want anything else.

Fabulous staff, food and value for money. Spotlessly clean. Gorgeous beer garden too.

Surprisingly spacious Greene King pub. My first visit in over a decade. Bright and clean and with a carvery on the Sunday we visited. Large beer terrace round the back. Friendly staff too. It was quiet for a Sunday lunchtime.

Had the mixed grill, came out exactly as ordered, in-laws and fiancé had the carvery And they said it was very nice. The beer garden is a great feature and really relaxing. The meals have improved so much since the end of the pandemic and service as always was amazing.

Only been a couple of times when visiting mates. Really nice little pub and the food is great!

Nice and quiet, enjoyed the food.

On Sunday 3/4/22 my wife and myself held our Diamond Wedding Anniversary celebration for family and friends in the separate function room of this establishment. We had a hot & cold buffet for 22 people . The food was excellent & plentiful & the service from the pubs staff was attentive &efficient they certainly went 'the extra mile '. A special mention goes to the 'supervisor ' on duty on the day.nothing was too much trouble for her to make sure we had a PERFECT DAY which we certainly did. I would strongly recommend this venue.

Lovely place , fab outdoor area , sat outside with our dogs .

We were able to use the WiFi for The Green Party conference, while eating great home cooked food in a spacious and interesting setting, while being looked after by a lovely group of staff. Very reasonable pricing too. We will be back.

Got my order wrong.white bread instead of brown sandwich that I ordered.didn't make much effort to offer a replacement, didn't seem to be bothered very much. Bad customer service. Can't recommend really.

We hadn't been there for ages and just happened to go nearby whilst on a good walk. It is dog friendly and on Monday's there's 25% off everything. Staff were helpful and friendly, food and service was excellent. Definitely going again soon.

Nice place does what it says on the tin

Amazing Christmas Day meal. Staff couldn't have been more helpful. Excellent food.

Nice atmosphere, friendly staff 👌

Have visited frequently and has been refurbished very interesting story good food very pleasantly served a big thank you to all all to Tracy and Staff xxx 👍👍😊😊 . At

Lovely ‘local’ feel to this pub. Beer wise there’s nothing stand out here but there’s always a delightful buzz to the place

Cask ale not the best, food inexpensive. Good atmosphere and a good live music act when I visited.

Lovely food ,friendly staff great service

Visited for the first time in over a year. The food was lovely and piping hot . The wine was also very nice . Good quality food and drink, great refurb . Will definitely be going again .

Spacious pub family friendly, with a large outdoor area .

Excellent service and friendly staff.

Great food. Lovely setting. Thank you. (This was from Sept 2020 and a few visits during covid). Came back July 2021 after calling ahead to reserve a table. When we arrived at 1900 the kitchen was closed....."they forgot to tell us when we called ahead". The five stars we gave the first time around still stand...but post covid look after your customers better than this!

Lovely little pub, good food nice pint

Very friendly staff and great atmosphere.

Top, friendly local with decent beer, food and service x

Went in today for a treat for my autistic son and was met with such warmth and the staff are amazing and my son is extremely picky with food but nothing with too much for them I would definitely go again brilliant place and the food omg amazing

Beautiful pub lovely atmosphere staff are lovely can't do enough for you gorgeous beer garden and kids friendly and is a dog friendly pub best lasagna I've had in a pub I'll be back my autistic son loved the food and he's picky

Fantastic beer garden, spacious, well maintained and surrounded by woodland. Plenty of room for young children to keep themselves amused without bothering anybody else. The food was great including the kids meals (aged 2 & 4). We had chilli burgers, nachos, kids fish and chips plus kids fries and nuggets. All really nice. Plenty of choice for drinks with very helpful and friendly staff. Will definitely be going more often. Clean and respectful of Covid rules also.
