We spent a fabulous hour and a half at The Steel Cauldron. Sir Basil really made us feel important with special attention to our birthday girl and we really appreciated the jokes, demos and magic tricks. Everyone loved it. Perfect food platter as well! Would very much recommend. Magic all around 🎉

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! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Located on bus routes with parking near by. We went with my son and 4 of his friends (with family) to celebrate his birthday. All the children were neurodivergent, the staff went out of they way to accommodate and adjust, ensuring each child had a brilliant visit whilst ensuring the rest of whizarding school had the best time. The staff are amazing, keeping in character at all times. We love visiting here.

Absolutely delightful experience! There were 4 of us. Myself, my husband, 6 year old daughter and 3 year old nephew. We all loved it, the little ones decided to paint pottery and they thoroughly enjoyed it. It kept them very busy and entertained throughout! They had the apprentices tea which was well priced with lots of sweet treats! The staff are lovely and friendly, we enjoyed seeing the owls and the lady shared lots of interesting facts and answered any questions we had. Pre-book to avoid disappointment! You can redeem the £5 per person paid at booking on crafts/ food. We went on Sunday and my daughter is already asking to go back to do more crafting! Thank you for such a lovely time. We will certainly be back!

¡Dale rienda suelta a la magia y deja fluir los misterios! Asistimos a comer y beber con un escuadrón de búhos increíbles! No puedo exagerar lo informativa y cautivadora que fue toda la experiencia. Brillante para familias, niños y adultos por igual. Comida, ambiente y experiencia en general era muy razonable con una vasta tienda de regalos también.

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! The themed teas are yummy, and we LOVE the milkshakes. The ambience is amazing and the staff are all lovely. It's not the cheapest afternoon out, but we love it for a holiday treat.

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

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

It was absolutely amazing my son who had it as a birthday present could not stop smiling. The attention to detail is above and beyond. They could not be any more helpful and accommodating throughout our experience from the day I booked it till when we left. As for sleeping we had the best sleep and I was even in a single bed. Birthday boy got the 4 poster and slept like a king. They truly thought of everything!! I could not recommend it highly enough. We also had breakfast in the cafe and did the owl experience. Another fantastic experience and you got to get up close to them, the food is lovely and perfect start to the day. My son absolutely loved the potion drinks and we even brought one home. He’s planning to collect them all. It’s so worth a trip a must visit to Harry Potter fans and if your like me not at all it is still a magical experience and we will certainly be booking in for more experiences as well as the the accommodation. The amazement and smile on my son’s face is priceless one of the best things I’ve ever done with my kids. We need to support this amazing family run business

They offer a range of weekday, weekend and half-term activities, including craft days and owl shows. The food and drinks offer a selection that is pleasantly different enough from your usual eateries (and ofc more magical), but can still find your usual favourites. Don't forget your spell to order!

First time going, lovely place that is filled with harry potter inspired/magic décor. They have small gift shop filled with little things from key chain's, art, bags. Some being Harry Potter merchandise. They food and drinks were lovely. The only unfortunate thing was some of the items weren't available but staff apologised and offered alternatives. (Hopefully I will get to try what I wanted on my next visit) The Owl show was amazing. There is a room where you can see them before the show and a table full of books on owls. They had 5 different Owls and 3 got shown in The Flying Squad doing flight around the room, while being told information about each owl. After the show we got our food and we were allowed to see Franklin one of the owls close up to take a photo and to ask any questions. The staff was attentive and full of personality. I would say the only thing for me is that it was quite noisy due to having two kid parties that day. Other than that it was a great time and I think I'll definitely come again.

Saw this on tiktok it looked great with the owls, etc. Turned up to find the owls are only on Sundays, and you have to book in advance. I'm very disappointed. The food I order ed they didn't have, so ended up with a sandwich, which was more bread than filling. No napkin or cutlery to eat the salad. The staff were great but I won't be going back. There's no free parking either.

The staff were lovely, friendly and very welcoming. The food was delicious and very well presented (my pictures don't do it justice , I didn't take many of the food and drinks!) We adored the owls and thought it was something interesting and different to enjoy. I have to say they all were very well behaved! The place is very well decorated and aesthetically pleasing! You pay for an experience with real owls and their handlers and also enjoy some lovely food and drinks. They also offer a separate place to eat without the owl experience. There is also a small little shop that they sell gifts and bits and bobs. What a lovely cute little experience, Thank you for a great day!

Rainy day in Sheffield? Looking for a spot of magic? After some yummy treats whilst the kids craft? Then the Steel Cauldron is the place to go. We went today for Eat, Drink and Owl with Flying Squadron, my 5yo daughter and 60yo mother both love owls so having the opportunity to see them flying round the room whilst finding out so much information about these beautiful creatures was a wonderful family activity. And to top it all off my daughter got to stuff her face with pancakes, what’s not to love. This little gem in Sheffield is full of magic and wonder with parking round the back at a reasonable cost. The staff put so much into the story telling that even as a grownup it’s hard not to feel under the spell of the steel cauldron and I’m already looking forward to my next visit.

A cute little find in Sheffield. Something different to experience. The Steel Cauldron It was our first time coming here to The Steel Cauldron in Sheffield. We absolutely loved it! Great experience. The staff were lovely, friendly and very welcoming. The food was delicious and very well presented (my pictures don't do it justice , I didn't take many of the food and drinks!) We adored the owls and thought it was something interesting and different to enjoy. I have to say they all were very well behaved! The place is very well decorated and aesthetically pleasing! You pay for an experience with real owls and their handlers and also enjoy some lovely food and drinks. They also offer a separate place to eat without the owl experience. There is also a small little shop that they sell gifts and bits and bobs. What a lovely cute little experience, Thank you for a great day!

Visually this place does look really cool and has a nice atmosphere. We visited today for my daughter’s birthday. The host made our daughter’s day by getting everyone to sing happy birthday to her and let her choose a treat, that was a nice touch. We went to see the eat, drink and owls. The children enjoyed the show but it was a shame with the table that we were shown to, it was right in the corner (near the toilets) and the lady with the owls had her back to us a lot or kept walking further to the back of the room, obviously to show the owls flying but where me and my husband were sat and the position of the table we struggled to see, which was a shame as that’s what we came to see the owls. My 3 kids said at times they couldn’t really see 3 of the 4 owls that came out. Food wise it sounds a lot more exciting on the menu than what it actually is, it’s filling by the amounts but nothing special. We had the apprentice tea’s and the wizards tea’s. Drinks my husband enjoyed his milkshake but everyone else had a mocktail and it pretty much was just lemonade in flavour wise. The place felt really cold as well and one of my kids kept his coat on the whole time being there. Over all the kids said they enjoyed it but it’s a little expensive (just over £110 for 5 of us for 1.5 hours) for the quality of food and the experience, is a shame because it does sound like they do a lot here in terms of activities and events, just not sure if we would come here again, when you compare the price to a full day out somewhere instead.

Very jolly staff, fantastic vibes for children or adults who are still obsessed with children's books about wizards. I saw lots of real owls at real owl breakfast and would strongly recommend to anyone who loves owls.

The staff were attentive and helpful. The food was lovely. The flying squadron was wonderful and the handler was very knowledgeable. The room was decorated like a mystical lair, perfect for potter fans. Excellent day, we will return. Thank you guys.

First visit to the Steel Cauldron as a surprise for my mums birthday. Had a fabulous time, Excellent and friendly service and enjoyed the brilliant Owl display. Whilst it may be considered a more child focused venue, we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Having owls land on your table was mesmerising! Highly recommended!

First time visiting and what a fun and exciting place for all ages not just kids. There is excellent attention to detail, from the decor to the menu where nothing is ordinary. Friendly staff who couldn't do enough for our party today. Would definitely return.

My daughter booked for myself and her brothers and sister to come for a treat before I start my chemotherapy next week, its the first time weve been, ive never even heard of it before but thought it sounded good and something a bit different, when we arrived Arabella (i think thats her name) greeted us at the door, showed us our table and made the effort to make us feel welcome, she took our food and drinks order, there was a little boy on the table behind us making a wand so my 6 year old daughter wanted to make one, I asked another member of staff and she said she would bring the things over, a bit of time went passed but nothing had been brought so I went over to her at the bar and asked again and she said sorry she had forgot and will bring it over, she still didn't bring anything over then about 20 minutes later Arabella came over and said that they don't do crafts on event days, meaning with the owls, she couldn't apologise enough, she was lovely and the lady with the owls, but I felt the rest of the staff didn't have a clue what they were doing, I found it very expensive for what we had and went away feeling like I had been over charged and disappointed, we travelled approx 45 minutes each way to come, I wouldn't come again or recommend the place

We came for the Eat, Drink & Owl session, it was fabulous. Great seeing the owls up close and very informative. Lovely little place with so much interesting deco and friendly, engaging and entertaining staff members. Good was good too, worth a little extra for the local support.

Came here last saturday with my friend and her daughter, cannot say much more other than it was an amazing experience. The young waitress with the flower crown was incredible during our visit and made us feel so welcome, she always had a smile on her face and never once dampened our experience. Would definitely recommend to friends and family, and will definitely be returning!!

This is just an overpriced coffee shop with crafts which you can get else where. I was told I would have a magical experience however I had a horrible experience. The service was slow, staff were rude, food missing from our order, (which we found out from the kitchen it was never ordered) I ordered multiple crafts which never came, I had to chase the wand which should have taken 15 mins but took 45, then I was over charged when I purchased items from the shop which I had to show the price to the servant who had to give me cash as they could not refund my card. I received an email asking for feedback when my visit was over which I gave however I am still awaiting a response from my visit on 23rd Feb. When I emailed again I was told the head wizard was away and would be in touch yet I am still awaiting a respond. I openly tell friends and family to avoid and save their money.

We first visited 2 or 3 years ago and had a lovely time. The staff were lively and in character, the music was good and there was a visit from owls/eagles (I can't remember which). We visited today and we're very disappointed. The room felt much emptier than last time, may have been because we were the only ones in that half of the cafe while the other half was full making a very awkward atmosphere, but I am also sure that there was more to see last time. The staff were OK but nothing special. We had to shout out the magic serving spell 3 times to get any attention from staff and they didn't put on any panazz like last time. It's a shame this place has lost its magic.

Absolutely magical place. The owls fly right next to you and are super cute. The food is good and the drinks are great. The crafting experience is for anyone at any age. The staff are super friendly and knowledgeable too! Great for dates or even going alone. Asian-approved.

Came for the owl experience. Had an amazing time, it was really informative. The owls got really close which was brilliant. I'd only suggest some low carb options for the breakfast menu. But that really would be nit picking, the atmosphere and effort for the staff is top notch! Can't wait to return.

I was really looking forward to going. I'd heard the great reviews and friends rated the restaurant. Lighting is quite bright and the floor needs a better finish. (Napkins are tiny!) Starters came but not my spoon for my soup so it was lukewarm by the time I got to it. My main course was too salty and the single carrot was undercooked. Dessert was also disappointing, as it was basically ice cream and chocolate sauce when it had been described as a mousse. However my dinner guest enjoyed his terrine (though no bread was offered and had to be asked for), his beef and dessert. £4 was deducted for my disappointment. I'll give it another go sometime.
