Visitamos para la exhibición del búho en una tarde de domingo. Fue fantástico. Los búhos estaban muy bien cuidados y el entrenador era brillante con ellos. Se acercan mucho a ti, lo que es increíble. Todo el personal era genial. Vine con mi hermana que tiene Síndrome de Down, el personal la hizo sentir muy bienvenida y todos fueron brillantes con ella. Ella estaba en su elemento absoluto y realmente disfrutaba. Tuvimos el té de la tarde grande y bebidas, todo era muy agradable y no demasiado caro. La comida era abundante y a mi hermana le dieron un helado gratis y una caja para llevar las sobras a casa. El lugar en sí es muy peculiar. ¡Gracias por pasarlo bien! Volveremos.

No puedo recomendar lo suficiente. Fui a ver a los búhos esta mañana. La exhibición fue divertida y Alba era muy conocedora. Fue increíble tener a los búhos acercándose tanto a ti. El lugar en sí mismo es peculiar y cualquier mago sueña con visitar. La selección de comida y bebida es fabulosa! Nos quedamos para que mi hija hiciera un huevo de dragón también. Cada miembro del personal es amable y realmente va más allá para que su visita sea mágica. Arabella era increíblemente acogedor y disfrutamos de los juegos de palabras huevo! ¡Volveremos!

What a fantastic place to eat. The decorations are varied and magical. The food was lovely. We had lots of afternoon tea and a wide range of their drinks. We all enjoyed going around the little shop and picking up a few treats. There is a car park around the back. We were not expecting to meet any owls but the beautiful Juno was brought out and we got to meet her. She seemed very happy to be there.

Vinimos el 16 de febrero. Tuvimos un buen tiempo en general. Mis padres compraron la experiencia como regalo de Navidad para mi sobrina. El show de búhos fue bueno. El personal es muy entusiasta y conocedor. El espacio necesita algo de TLC. Sé que está destinado a ser rústico y mágico, pero los accesorios de luz estaban colgando y sentí que mi silla se rompería en cualquier momento. Todavía se puede lograr una atmósfera mágica mientras se está limpio. Un buen polvo estaba en orden. La comida era buena. Y el batido de plátano estaba delicioso.

We visited with my LG who is Harry Potter mad (as am her aunty & I!) and had a fabulous time with The Flying Squadron followed by afternoon tea. The venue is super quirky and the staff are very enthusiastic and put everything into making your visit special. The owls were just fantastic and their owner was so knowledgeable and keen to share it with everyone. Afternoon tea was great and there was a wide range of magical drinks. We highly recommend a visit and will be back to try some of the other events! A huge congratulations to the team!

Tried out Little Wizards last week and our toddler had so much fun! She is absolutely in love with Plum the puppet who greets all the children at the entrance, and she was entranced by story time with the toy owls. This is a really magical and heartwarming place! It's just tricky to park in Broomhill so we'll be trying the bus next time. Will definitely be checking out some of their other events, and dropping in for a magical coffee some time 😁

Wands at the ready...🪄 This place is a dream come true for any fantasy lover! ✨ We sipped on sparkly potions, munched on snacks served in cauldrons, afternoon tea style towers, and even had chocolate frogs and magic beans! They are fab with gf & other dietary requirements too 🌱 ✨ We got creative making our own magic wands and painting adorable tea light holders. You can also make mythical creatures, decorate dragon eggs, the possibilities are endless! ✨ The staff are AMAZING! They're all fully in character, super helpful and so much fun. Just shout "Serviceio!" and they'll magically appear ✨ ✨ They even host parties with real-life owls and snakes! 🦉🐍 How cool is that?! ✨ The gift shop is overflowing with magical treasures. You'll definitely want to grab some souvenirs! ✨ This place is clearly made with so much love and passion for fantasy. It's the perfect escape for both kids and adults alike. Not an ad, just a 10/10 experience we couldn't help but share.

Magnificent experience. We took a 5 & 8 year old and they loved it. They are still going on about how the food was amazing, today. The staff are exceptional, good fun, fast, responsive and immensely inclusive. The afternoon tea plates are brilliant, and fantastic quality. I was full for hours.

Esta fue la segunda vez que visitamos y de nuevo tuvimos un tiempo tan encantador. Vinimos hoy al evento del Búho Escuadrón Volador. Todo estaba bien planificado y organizado por el personal. La señora de los búhos era muy conocedora y los búhos eran impresionantes. Las mesas se limpiaron en medio del evento cuando uno de los búhos se sentó en cada mesa. El desayuno era precioso. El personal es amable, atento y con excelentes habilidades de servicio al cliente. Este es un negocio fantástico y no puedo recomendarlo lo suficientemente alto.

Lunch With Santa - Family Visit! This is by far the most memorable and magical Santa encounter we have had to date! Booking is easy you can book online - if you want to go that little bit extra dress in your best witch / wizard/ Christmas outfit/ jumper ! We went to the steel cauldron - 2 family’s a total group of 11! We were greeted at the door by an elf who showed us to our table. They sat us on a large long table which was lovely near the fireplace - the next table across was a little close as you couldn’t go between the 2 for food service or anything but still very cosy. The whole place is so magic and has such a warm feeling to it from the moment you enter - the lunch with Santa it’s self is amazing! Santa does a great job making the whole experience magical for everyone involved of any age so this is a great place for families with siblings of various ages and for the parents and grandparents. I cant emphasis enough that the interactions with Santa - his mannerisms and his way of involving everyone in the interaction is superb! You will have the opportunity to take as many of your own photos with Santa as you wish ( obviously everyone is courteous ) - note they do not print photos or gifts. The only thing they could do to make things easier for Santa is to give the ( really young kids - name tags on entry ) so Santa can get their name straight away especially if they are of a really young age. You will be offered the option of doing various crafts whilst you are there - we chose Christmas baubles which were great! The kids loves doing these ranging from age 2-11. The menu is - Ok. I can highly recommend the soup. The pizza and the ice cream. They had a lot of things missing off the menu so this was disappointing as it was quite a lot of missing items. The potion drinks are great and kids will love them as they are very sweet! The wizards teas were great and the little wizards one but - they didn’t have the items that were listed and we were not made aware of substitutes - which I imagine could be very problematic for anyone with allergies etc They also have a wonderful little shop full of magic merch! Perfect for picking up any last minute Christmas gifts / something to remember the experience by! Or if you are a huge Harry Potter/ magic fan! If you haven’t booked yet you should you won’t regret it. Deposits are £5 pp!

Went to an owl experience. Was a really lovely day and the gift shop has some magical things. Only downside was trying to pay for things from the shop took a little while as a new group of people were coming for the owl show and the entrance/exit was a little tight with having a pram. Food and drink was all great though and the staff were really lovely:)

We haven't even left yet and I already feel the need to leave a review. We came here as a group of 3 adults and 2 children and it's been a fantastic trip. We had also booked the apartment for a night which was just the cutest experience. We were here for 4 different experiences and all were fab for kids and adults alike. As an adult I must say I loved the pottery painting. The staff are just fabulous and are always ensuring you're having a magical time! I can't even pinpoint a specific member of staff as they were all fantastic! The food is great and served quickly and the drinks menu is so extensive that we feel the need to return again and again. If we lived closer I feel like my wife and I would be here most weekends 😊 (we don't even have our own children haha!) Thank you to all the staff at the cauldron you have been great and we've thoroughly enjoyed it! Definitely 5 stars! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I came here with my 3 children as we are all huge harry potter fans and wanted to have a immersive wizarding experience and we were not dissapointed! From the moment we stepped through the door the staff were welcoming and engaging, really playing into the theme which we absolutely loved! The owl experience was fantastic! The owls owner really made an effort to make sure everyone got to have an up close and personal experience with each owl and was very knowledgeable on the birds, taking time after the display to go around, take photos and answer questions. The cafe itself is decorated beautifully with lots of Harry potter themed items and a lovely shop with merchandise that myself and the kids really enjoyed looking around. We came from Cheshire for the experience and we would definitely come back again as it is well worth every penny. A thoroughly enjoyable experience I can highly reccomend.

We LOVE The Steel Cauldron. This is our third or fourth time, and it won't be the last. We went for the owl experience, really informative and cleverly pitched just right, so not complicated for younger children but not boring for older kids or grown ups. Beautiful birds!

This place is MAGICAL! So much so that our kids wanted to stay, even under threat of being turned into goblins and made to clean the toilets. We are now being asked to turn their bedrooms into replicas of this cafe. It is so beautiful. The magic started from our entrance with the wonderful Sir Bazil welcoming us in and explaining the magical way to order drinks and food. We came for the owl display, which was wonderful. Where else do you get to sit in a gorgeous magical cafe and watch owls fly around you?! Our drinks were delivered quickly and it was explained to us upfront that we would have food after the owl display - makes perfect sense. The owl display was lovely though at times it was hard to hear Professor Alba as she moved around the room. We were all spellbound though and it was lovely to have the owls so close. Food was brilliant. Kids loved their nutella pancakes and apprentice tea, and our toasted sandwiches made a perfect brunch. We stayed longer to do crafts - youngest made a wand and eldest made a stunning potion bottle, and really enjoyed mixing their potion to go in the bottle. We adored Sir Bazil's magic card tricks as well. Good sir, you are brilliant! The only reason I'm dropping a star is that we were told by Sir Bazil, on asking, that our oldest could keep the cauldron from their apprentice's tea, but he had left for the day by the time we left, and the "owl lady", on clearing our table, didn't seem to accept this as truth and argued that this wouldn't be the case and normally they would charge. Our children are autistic (which we had advised when booking) and our eldest felt so anxious about being challenged on this, despite knowing it was true, that we had to leave the cauldron behind. Even offering to pay for it was too distressing as they felt they had done something wrong. These mixed messages are incredibly hard for autistic children to understand. So we left feeling a little bit sad about this. It was a very small thing, which would have given our child a lot of joy but instead caused them stress. I really feel like this could be an amazing safe space for neurodiverse people, with some care. I should also say that the service really dropped off after the owl event. There are a few young people serving who are not on the ball and really need to pay more attention to customers. This is a place that deserves to thrive. Board game nights, D&D nights, tarot evenings, mediums, cosplay events....just a few thoughts. if I lived nearby I would be here every day.

Booked with my kids and grandkids to watch the owl show and then had food. The owl show was amazing. The handler was very competent and knowledgeable and the show was worth the extra cost. The food is basic but tasty and there is something for everyone including vegan and gluten free. Very reasonably priced. They do crafts but I’d advise either booking crafts when you book or going for lunch as we were too late at 4pm for crafts. Also if you go late order cake at the time you order food as they looked amazing but we couldn’t have any as the kitchen had closed. Overall a lovely experience and will be back

Great place full at character and friendly staff. Did all they could to accommodate my grandson and I. Great little magic show with Ashton carter. Kids and adults alike. A tad expensive for a couple of hours max but still good fun.

My daughter and I loved the Owl show and wand making activity. Staff were all friendly and welcoming. Easy to find and convenient parking just above the shops. Will definitely visit again.

I took my best friend here for her birthday- nothing was too much trouble to make her day special. We picked from the menu, service was swift, perfect and with a wizards smile. We then did pot painting, again nothing was too much trouble. My best friend absolutely loved her special day - thank you to the wizards at the steel cauldron for making her day truly special - absolutely 5 stars xx

Had another lovely visit today. First the brilliant flying squadron display of owls, followed by a wonderful lunch. We even got to meet a stick insect. Definitely worth a visit.

Lovely afternoon out with children. They were really excited by their Wizard Tea and loved the crafts. They opted for a wand and a dragon egg. The staff were enthusiastic and friendly. Cool decor, too.

Went to the Steel Cauldron for my birthday and had the afternoon tea and owl experience. It was fantastic! Food was delicious and huge portions. The staff were lovely, and made the experience even better as they remain in character. The owl show was brilliant! Lovely to see all the owls and very informative. The place is really well decorated and they have a Harry Potter shop. Would definitely come back again.

Place was dirty and could do with a good clean. Staff were too busy talking between themselves to serve. Food was poor quality. Definitely overpriced

We had the most magical stay here, the attention to detail with decor was outstanding not to mention the available amenities (games, costumes, projector) that kept the children amused. The apartment was clean and had one of the comfiest beds I’ve ever slept in. Would also recommend trying the Steel Cauldron cafe below the apartment. The staff were exceptional at creating a whole experience for everyone including the adults and couldn’t have been more attentive or friendly. Food was delicious and my nephews loved their interactive drinks and lunch. Highly recommend and will definitely be paying another visit.

Attended The Steel Cauldrons first bottomless afternoon tea event and can’t wait for the next one! Excellent food and plenty of it, unique entertainment. This place is a must visit destination if you’re in Sheffield!

We had a lovely time as two students seeing the owls and enjoying tea and mead! Brilliant place to bring children, they all seemed to be having the time of their lives

you can have lunch anywhere but at the Steel Cauldron lunch is an experience: from a magical welcome, a fascinating and enjoyable menu choice ( mine was the Wizard's Wand Panini, cake and a cuppa) to good food in magical surroundings, this is a place to enjoy. The staff were great, the food was lovely and lunch was a lovely experience. A place to return to - I only wish I lived nearer

1st time here, and what a magical time! Stayed upstairs in the Wizards Rest and can honestly say it couldn't be better. Only 2 of us, so there was more than enough space, although a family would be easily as comfortable. Plenty of nice wizardly touches - even in the loo! The master bedroom is suitably decadent, with a very comfy four poster. The lounge boasts a projector screen TV - perfect for watching a HP film or 3. Downstairs at the Cauldron, the food and drinks were plentiful and yummy, and to top it off had a wonderful owl experience getting up close to the wonderful birds. All the staff were both pleasant and helpful, can't wait to go back. Carl and Hannah

I love, love, love this place! There is no place alike in the whole of Sheffield. I feel like I step into a whole different magical world every time I come in through the door. I bring my baby to the story telling sessions but i think I enjoy it as much or even more than she does…
