The Three Merry Lads in Sheffield

We had a lovely evening with friends here on a busy sunny Friday evening. The food was great, staff were friendly and all in all a great atmosphere. Service was slow and food was about a 45 minute wait, but we were well warned and had good company. Having a park to keep the kids entertained was brilliant- though food can only be ordered to tables with table numbers (therefore not the ones surrounding the playground area). There are some outdoor tables that overlook the park but none close enough to run after younger kids if they have a tendency to sprint. (The park isn’t enclosed and there is access to the main road through the car park, or on the other side there’s access to the valley). The food when it arrived was great! Staff were friendly. The place was nice and clean.

Lovely cosy pub , just stopped for a beer but food looked good too

Friday night for food with friends. Good food but a bit salty for me. Good service, friendly and attentive but not in your face. It felt really warm in the pub, unnecessarily so which wasn't pleasant! Would I go back? Yes. Would it be a regular thing? No.

Lovely staff. Food fantastic. A good place with great views over the valley. :-)

Simple menu but extremely good in every respect

We visited here with as a family for lunch after a lovely walk around Redmires reservoir. All the staff were amazing, the children were made to feel really welcome, as was our four legged friend. Food was lovely, I had a fish finger sandwich with fries which was delicious, kids had pizza and the hubby had a burger. We were served by a lovely young lady called Emily, couldn’t fault it, we’ll definitely be back next time we’re in the area.

Great boozer for ending a walk at. Fantastic location next to some of the best walks in Sheffield (Stanage Edge/Rivelin valley etc) Hearty food inc good pies and decent range of ales. The garden is pretty epic, in that it just runs out into the wilds of the valley below. It does get busy at weekends -we went on a sunday lunch, but the staff seemed pretty on their game, and we never had to wait long for service. They also love dogs here, I mean, really love dogs. - they even serve a doggie portions of Sausage and mash!!

We love the Three Merry Lads for family occasions. We've had a few big gatherings there over the years, and also Sunday roasts after a dog walk. Emily is a super waitress, always friendly, and makes you feel welcomed. The food has always been delicious and reasonably priced. A lovely friendly pub!

Visited for lunch having heard it was much improved under new licensee. It did not disappoint! Roaring fire and lovely beer. Really enjoyed the food and the staff were friendly and clearly happy - served by Emily. So glad it’s reopened as it’s a great location with a huge garden and fabulous view but never previously seemed to fulfil its potential. We will return.

Great little pub to call into after a lovely walk in the area of Redmires and Wyming brook. Friendly faces behind the bar, Emily. Nice to see Damien and his staff looking after the place.

Pop in for a drink after my long walk. Not a bad place for drink. Nice atmosphere but slow service. Even some people were complaining about their food after long await. I just finish my drink and move on.

The food was excellent I had fish and chips and my wife had the roast. I would add the fish was probably the best I have tasted, perfect nice even crisp batter and thick firm fillet.

We visited the Three Merry Lads for Sunday lunch and it was delicious. Damian was really welcoming, keep up the good work on socials as I was able to recognise you as I arrived. They have a great selection of good real ales, service was excellent and the pub was packed which was great to see. Everything looked really well organised from reserved tables with all condiments and cutlery there as you sat down. We enjoyed apple crumble for dessert and the portion was very big, definitely a portion for 2 people. They also allow motorhome stopovers which was perfect for us. Lovely views over the back and really quiet overnight. Thanks Damian and team we would highly recommend your pub/restaurant and good luck with it all.

Lovely dog friendly pub great food good service will definitely go again and recommend to others

Lots of gluten free and vegan options. Tasty food, will be going back!

We had a very enjoyable Sunday dinner just over two weeks ago. The food was all very nicely cooked and presented. The chicken portion was generous, the vegetables were just right and not over cooked. Roast potatoes and Yorkshire pudding and extra gravy were very good too. The service was excellent and all good value for money. Thanks.

Great location and nice atmosphere inside. Food was terrible and had to ask for the table to be cleared and wiped down. It was cleared but never wiped down and it was filthy from the previous sitting! I struggled to eat my burger with the bun having to be cut with a streak knife it was so tough! Everyone else left the majority of their food as well. Really disappointed as we were all really hungry. 29th Sept - return visit under new management. Lovely pub and atmosphere with log fire. Food tasted excellent! Great improvement over previous owners. However, small portions for the price. Great Sausage and mash but it was one sausage and one Yorkshire pudding. The beef was not rare as stated on the menu, it was very well done, even a bit tough in places. Was left feeling a bit disappointed and hungry.

Recently reopened after a few months so we decided to try out their food offering. Please to say it is very good. We had different pies of the day which come with optional veg and either chips or mash (had to be chips 😉) Glad this is back open, I was starting to miss it. Looks like the same choices of beer so happy days.

Visited after my dad had a medical appointment in the area. Lovely pub. Open fire, varied menu. Wonderful, polite and helpful staff. The portions were huge. Wish we lived nearer.

Nice spot for Sunday dinner. Fish pie was good. Glad it's re-opened.

I had the gammon, it was cooked right ,nice big piece ,peas were cooked right ,not hard ! Chips ,right amount, not too many ,but could have been cooked a bit longer for my liking .service was good .

Great food. Great staff. Nice surroundings.

Always a pleasure to visit this pub. Never eaten here before but it was absolutely lovely. Very nice burgers and chicken. I’ll definitely return.

The Three Merries hosted a wake, for around 40 people, following my dear 99-year old Dad's funeral earlier this week. Heather, Rowan, Chris and Damian did a great job - they were responsive, helpful, sensitive and delivered just what we needed with a varied finger buffet and an open bar for guests. Superb location, overlooking the Rivelin Valley. Wishing them every success in the future. They're only too happy to chat through options for hosting events - give them a call!

Poor service, waiting time for a bowl of chips 3/4 of an hour definitely cooked in old fat / cooking oil, queues at the bar when really not that busy.

Great spot after a long dog walk. Lovely views on a sunny afternoon and we ended up staying for food which we all ordered the pies and loved them. Very dog friendly too and very friendly & helpful staff.

we arrived 1:30 pm on bank holiday, it was busy and meal waiting time was near one hour. the dishes ordered were not disappointed. three full chicken wings was in a starter portion. club sandwich, fish and chips, hunter chicken, burgers and squids were all tasty.

Good for gluten free choices, amazing views.

Had a fantastic meal (hunters blue chicken). The food is clearly freshly prepared, home-cooked, and arrived hot and well-presented. The staff were amazing, very attentive (including in-meal courtesy checks), and are clearly happy to be working in this establishment. The prices of food, and at the bar are reasonable (particularly the £9.50 lunch menu), and are comparable (if not slightly below the local competition). There is a huge assortment of lager, amd hand-pulled/ draught ales. Furthemore there is a very large selection of non-alcoholic beers, ciders and spirits (alongside some premium soft drinks). Parking is wholly adequate, seating is available inside and outside, and the views from the outdoor seating areas are absolutely stunning (day and night). All-in my visit was excellent and I will certainly be returning in the near future! VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Love this pub, but need to get their act together. Arrived around 5:15 was told food was served until 6 and they gave us menus. Tried to order about 25 minutes later and was suddenly told they weren't serving food anymore. And yet another member of staff came out and was surprised we didn't order any food so clearly mixed messaging from staff. Later overheard the member of staff who denied us food mention how she need to relax with a drink and saw them sitting around drinking moments later so appeared they just couldn't be bothered. It's a kid friendly pub and we had hungry children. If you want to stop serving food early, fine, but don't change your story last minute. Not a good experience this time around.

Great little pub. Went after a long morning walk. Great value and quick service with food

Lovely food , plenty of choice. only waiting about 40 /50 mins for everyone to be served their food . There was 11 of us while we waited we sat on the pubs decking looking out onto lovely views ,drinking & talking to each other . There was one minor niggle & that was the staff where unsure of their vegan menu ! Would we go again ,hell yes .

Great service and very nice Fish and Chips from the lunch menu!

Good food. Friendly helpful staff. Nice location. Slightly unfinished feel. Worth another visit.

Excellent small place lunch. Very helpful staff. Highly recommend the pub very clean large drink selection. Good outside seating and childrens area. Excellent views.

Lovely quiet pub with friendly staff, amazing food and table service

First visit tonight , very nice pub 👌. Very friendly and helpful staff and the food was great ! . Nice outdoor seating area with a play area and spectacular views , thankfully it's also dog friendly . Happily Recommend.

What a lovely pub , first visit and really enjoyed it . Food was yummy and plenty of it the staff were very helpful and friendly . Has a great outdoor area with fantastic views . Very happy to recommend the place

Cracking family pub with good playground and beer garden. We always call in when passing after a walk up this way. Just been taken over and all seems as good and food came out quickly. 100% recommended for family visit

Great place to eat after a walk in the Peak. Brilliant views from the beer garden

Glad this place has reopened but got charged £7 for two tiny cups of tea, and it didn’t even taste like Yorkshire.

Great food great staff, new landlord and landlady will get this place back to its best!

Came here for a family meal and we were all happy with everything. The Buffalo burger was incredible and will be back to try out more things. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Top marks from us

Lovely pub lovely staff lovely place to sit out in. The views are amazing. Been a good few times now. Will keep coming back.

Been up recently as it is under new ownership and it was great. Nice pints. Outside area great and kids enjoyed it on play area. Will definitely go again.

Amazing views from beer garden food is lovely and staff are amazing and so friendly

Since being taken over it has become quite run down, the toilet are particularly disgusting - womens toilets had only 1 of 4 taps working the rest were broken, since we're filthy, none of them flushed, horrible festival type smell and to top it off, a lovely amount of flies. Inside is in desperate need of a lick of paint, carpet is very worn and it seemed very dark even on a glorious summer afternoon. Staff seemed a bit nervous when serving. Outside feral kids were running about screaming, literally screaming, running inbetween tables, rubbish under tables, older children throwing woodchips all over and down the slides, running up and blocking the slides so none of the younger children could go on anything. For some reason the lawn was being mowed right next to the playground so bad times for any hay-fever sufferers and anyone sitting near it as the grass was flying everywhere. I used to come here quite a lot but can't say I'd come back any time soon given how it was today.

Came here with my family for a drink and to keep the little one entertained however on arrival we saw some kids around 12,6 and 7 throwing woodchips on the slide to the point you couldn't slide down it properly, climbing and hanging on the tops of the smaller slide making it unusable for the others (not the staffs fault but thought I would mention it.) We also went to get a ice cream, asked for a couple of different ice lollys until they finally had one, you'd think they'd tell you before hand but nothing. Went into the bathroom also and that was dirty (now this is for the women's bathroom bare in mind) but none of the toilets flush leaving a fowel smell of fermenting pee and the toilet roll was completely used up and on the floor. The taps we're unusable, one of the taps didn't work for seemingly no reason and one of the caps came off and didn't screw back on, there was soap all over the sink and the floor was dirty.

Great day out, beautiful location, good beer and food

Called in after work after noticing its newly reopened, really friendly staff ,, great food , nice pint ,,,, will definitely be re visiting 👍

Brilliant traditional pub in a beautiful location with a brilliant garden. Staff really friendly and helpful with any requirements. The food was amazing aswel and definitely value for money. Will definitely be going back! Lovely place for a sunset view also 🌄

Been looking forward to this place reopening. Great atmosphere and friendly staff. Family enjoyed food. Very decent pub. Will recommend to friends.

Lovely food and very family friendly with a great outside area for kids to have fun. Staff all polite and professional, will come again

Great to see this place back open and under control of someone who understands what it means to run this type of venue. Great food and fantastic space outside to enjoy the sun when it appears. Will be visiting for a few winter walks followed by a beer by the fire in the winter months as well.

First time we have visited since it has reopened. The children had a lovely afternoon playing on the park area, making friends with other children there. We enjoyed lunch on the terrace as it was such a lovely day. The cauliflower wings and chicken burger were my favourite. The grass was being cut and other areas of maintenance were ongoing but this did not distract from a delightful time. We will be back soon.

Excellent food. Great selection of drinks and Ample parking. Reasonably priced. Cannot fault anything. The staff are really friendly. Will definitely be back.

We decided to visit here after seeing it was under new management on Facebook to which Me and my family had a great experience. The food was cooked perfectly and presented really well. They were very busy and the food was still brought to us In a good time. We sat out on the back were there was a playground for my 4yr old daughter to play on while we took in some of the amazing views. A final praise for the staff who were very friendly and couldn't be more welcoming. I will be revisiting very soon 👍

First visit under new ownership food and drink was excellent great choice of food

Recently re-opened, apparently has been renovated but seems to be exactly the same inside. Drinks selection pretty boring and similar to as before, food average. Unclear why food can’t be served in the beer garden (only on patio/decking), isn’t much further to walk. Beer garden also reconfigured so benches are all crammed together next to play area, with an area of grass now left unused, shame as used to be well spaced out. Prices are extortionate for food and drinks for what you’re getting. Hope it does well as it’s a great setting, but not the best start.

Stopped for a drink in the sun today. Nice beer garden, plenty of seating outside. All clean and family friendly. It’s always been a great location near us but it’s never filled their potential. Grace is great and spoke to Emily up there today. Nice staff who want to engage. Will try the food next

Awful. V disappointing. Dirty. Looks like its closing down. Toilets disgusting. Polite service by young girl...

What a vast improvement the new owners have made! Nice and clean and a refurbishment has made a huge difference. My wife and I had Pie of the Day and they were both amazing! Friendly staff and swift service, will definitely be back!

Under new management and this is going to be a hidden little gem. Fabulous food, great friendly staff and lovely beer garden. Looking forward to sunday lunch menu going live.

What a difference! New Landlord & Lady has made. A fantastic new team and menu . Can’t wait to come back and sample their Roast dinners soon.

So glad this place has reopened. The new owner is brilliant, the food is fantastic. Can’t wait until they offer the full menu so I can try some more of the food. We will definitely be back!

Just been here and it seems to be closed down with a notice saying the landlord has re-taken possession. Can’t find any mention of what's happened anywhere on line.

Nice pub with a big beer garden and good facilities for kids.

Fantastic views, a lot of the menu had sold out for Sunday lunch and we were there at 12.00 and had already press booked. They said they had a busy day Saturday and sold out of stuff. So why take a pre order. Totally pointless

Looked at the reviews and the menu online beforehand and it seemed great, so we decided to visit. Upon arrival, no drinks menu available. It would have been nice to be informed by the bar staff that we had to order at the bar, instead of us sitting at the table waiting for someone to take our order like a couple of lemons. The menu was only half the size of the one we viewed online. We are both gluten free and they had many options from the online menu. The lamb shank was missing from the menu. The calamari was missing from the menu. My girlfriend settled on halloumi fries and was told that they don't have any so she went without a starter. The bar man was very good at huffing and puffing. My starter of chicken wings said it came with lime creme fresh.....it didn't! The wine was a little sour. My girlfriend ordered a gluten free burger and it arrived without bread. We asked where the bread was and was told "we don't do gluten free bread!" So basically a gluten free burger is a burger with no bread which in my opinion, you can't call it a burger. The main meal tasted alright but it was £20 and the portion was tiny with a lack of potato's and vegetables. Such a huge disappointment and will not be returning. I am looking forward to some nice soup and bread in the motorhome later 😋

Don't bother if you are gluten free, the menu online suggests there is a great choice but the menu in the pub is seriously stipped back. No GF pie, hardly any GF options. We went early (6.30pm) and half the stuff wasn't available. Wine was sour (malbec). Staff had a "not bothered" attitude, a lot of huffing and puffing. The view is good from the back of the carpark though 😂 In the end after 4 things I wanted were not on the menu I ordered what was advertised as a GF burger... what came was a dry patty and chips. When the waitress asked why I was looking at it funny I asked where the bread was... she looked genuinely confused and said... we don't do GF bread. At this point I just laughed. I will not be returning

Went for Mothers Day lunch, roast dinners were nice but very small portions, 2 roast potatoes and a single Yorkshire pudding just not sufficient I'm afraid, all diners in our party said the same 😧Many options for dessert weren't available and what was ordered was underwhelming, fruit crumble was watery with very little crumble topping, brownies were tepid at best. Paid £230 for a forgettable Mothers Day lunch, will not be returning and would advise others to look elsewhere for better value.

Stopped for lunch, had the mini fish and chips. Very tasty and enjoyable. If I didn't live so far away I would have it as my local. They also served my favourite beer - Doom Bar.

A really random visit not planned. Decided to walk some of the Rivelin Valley and found the Three Merry Lads listed on Google maps! What a surprise!! Parked up in both our Motorhomes, as it was Sunday we enquired whether we could book a table, lovely service and response. We arrived early as it was a miserable day so didn't walk far. No problem accommodating us even though busy. 4 of us with three dogs - VERY dog friendly - even met Dave the huge Great Dane!!.... Food was excellent, freshly prepared, hot and tasty. Drinks with choice of cask ales also excellent having Taylors Landlord and Bradfield Brewery's ales too. Can't fault it and will be back. Average prices and GOOD value for money.

Lovely staff and a lovely atmosphere. We had Mac and cheese and stew and dumplings and a portion of chips. It was lovely. Will be back

Went there for a family lunch. Food and drinks very good but the staff seemed very stretched. Would go again certainly.

We were disappointed with the food at this country pub. The menu was large but the quality was not great. Meals don't come with any veg unless you pay extra, but the are not cheap, typically £15. My strogonoff had tough meat and was bland. My wife's stew was very thin, also tough beef and not very tasty. The location in the peaks is great, staff were friendly but the food needs to be better. A smaller higher quality menu would be better.

I have never been here before but I like to walk around here so I thought I'd call in for dinner, barman was lovley, food was fast but really tasteless I had fish n chips great size but taste really let it down, my sons burger wasn't very nice either.

With Nearby Pub. Closed due to a Bereavement. Called in for a Drink. Before Walk back to the City centre. Sunday Lunchs aplenty. Que for Drinks. But Quick Service. Large & Good Selection of Beers. Sat outside in well Appointed Garden. Families with Dogs. Enjoying the Autumn Sunshine. Enjoyed.

Haven’t been to the Three Merry Lads for years. Was staying at my parents while they were away and we decided to go for Sunday dinner. Staff were friendly and welcoming. The pub was clean and there was a nice atmosphere. Food was delicious. I had roast beef, my sister had roast turkey and my son and nephew both had burgers. We also had cookie dough for dessert with was also delicious. Reasonably priced, especially for the quality and quantity! Will definitely return and would recommend. Thank you!

We visited this place while walking from redmires on Bank Holiday afternoon. It’s extremely welcoming to all dogs and muddy boots and the car park was full which is always a good sign. I noticed the were 2 motor homes hooked up in the car park which is ideal when you consider the location. There was a full hog roast cooking which we opted for along with roast potatoes and veg, all cooked perfectly and highly recommended. There’s a good selection of beers on offer and looking around at what other people were eating all of the food looks excellent. We will definitely be returning in future.

Pretty good wine choice and a tasty whitebait starter. Ordered tacos for main, one beef one chicken. Both very tasty but cold. Brought this to the attention of the staff. We were offered a replacement but turned this down as we did not want to see the food go to waste. However we did think an offer of a discount in acknowledgement of our complaint would have demonstrated good customer service. On mentioning this before leaving, still no offer of recompense. I suggested £2 as a token offer and put it in the charity jar which I am hoping was honoured.

Although there is a wide range of good ales, those wanting a night out will be disappointed because the time the bar closes depends on the whim of the bar staff. If they've made their money in the daytime on food, they can't wait to get you out. Their website says 10.30, but on a recent visit it was 10.00 and the lights went out. If this early closing is due to only a few drinkers being in after 9.30, perhaps that's because they close early. In any case, the customer comes second and I doubt I'll waste my time going again.

Visited last weekend to celebrate a special 90th birthday with family. Fabulous food and service. Staff were very friendly and couldn’t have been more helpful and accommodating of our requests. Even though it was busy, the food arrived promptly and was plentiful and delicious.

Visited for Tapas Tuesday, the food was great a really wide selection and everything we tried was delicious. Will definitely be returning for Tapas again. Friendly service too.

This location is wonderful - we booked a room for a family get together for 25 of us. The room was private, the service we received was second to none and the food was absolutely superb. We set up a tab and paid the very reasonable bill at the end. The host served us well with courtesy and a smile and both courses of the meal were served and cleared promptly and quickly. Thankyou - we will return.

Visited for lunch this weekend but fortunately we called ahead and booked a table so no issues there. Food was excellent despite how busy it was. The kitchen staff must have been ran off their feet and everyone who ordered was advised of a predicted wait on orders. For anyone who expects processed microwave crap served in a few minutes when it’s busy, your in the wrong place. See you soon.

We came here after a trip to the Peak District, it was rather busy however managed to get a table and got told the food would be 40 mins - 1hour wait. We thought this was fine as it was bank holiday so understood some delays can happen. We had an autistic child and a 1 year told therefore after 1hour 20mins, we asked how long it would be, to them be told it’ll be 15 mins and offered us a free drink as an apology. We then got our food 1 hour and 50 mins after ordering, for it to come back either not cooked or too overly cooked. The fries with the burger meal, the kids meals and on its own were barely cooked - quite hard and the steak (ordered medium) came well done , very tough and was dry. Along with this the vegetarian burger meat patty was crumbling apart because it was burnt. We called a member of staff over who rudely advised we only had been waiting 20 mins over the expected time as a response, therefore we asked him to get the order ticket and he corrected himself. He kept apologising for the food, and advised he couldn’t re fund us and could only re cook the steak(nothing else as there was various other errors) - he did even say himseld he wouldn’t pay for what we had given him. we asked for a refund instead as we had had a pregnant lady, two unrested children with us - as one is Autistic, it isn’t easy to wait much longer. We felt the staff knew the issues around the meal, as we had paid £96 - the wait was unacceptable and the meal placed infront of us was appauling. On top of this, the lack of understanding for families and the rudeness displayed when questioning a customer on their wait time was certainly not good service. I would not waste your money coming here again

Called for drinks and food, the views are great and the pub was quite busy. But the food was really poor, around £14 for a burger and chips ..it looked the part but wasn't very nice and the inside of the burger was totally raw(I know beef can be served pink) Would go again but just for drinks and the views

Birthday meal Friendly staff, delicious food (though fet obligated to take home the second linguine which came to our table home since there had been one too many ordered and order not clarified. Half the seafood missing from the take home pack) Family over from Australia enjoyed the food. The only thing that spoilt it were the kids from that table next to us running in and out and had to be asked to watch were they where walking and banging into

Thoroughly enjoyed the food, presented lovely and definitely would recommend eating here, atmosphere warm and inviting and staff pleasant and friendly.

We were recommended to come here by a local and we weren't disappointed. We had lunch and the storefront was wide, from standard pub grub to slightly more exotic (pigeon croquette anyone). The portions were large and piping hot and delicious. Their beer selection is also wide. Highly recommended.

Really friendly staff , excellent food and service. Prices absolutely reasonable - very happy. You can bring your dog and muddy boots. The staff are friendly and the chefs know what they are doing

After not going to The Three Merry Lads after a porr experience, we went after walking our dogs. We we sell welcomed, from walking through the front door bring greeted with a table with towels on it to dry muddy and wet paws and clean...

Family party for a birthday. Staff were very accommodating and couldn’t do enough for us. Food was fab and good variety of choices - dietary requirements all met. Will go again.

Excellent ambience, service and food. An extensive menu and at reasonable prices. Good walking country, Around nearby Redmires reservoirs there are excellent walks

We had a small wedding party and booked our table for lunchtime. The food was excellent and all arriving at the same time. All the dishes were exactly as advertised. The staff were really friendly and gave us enough time between courses without us feeling...

Spot On! Good choice on the menu. Pub was warm and cosy and staff were really welcoming. Fire was lit and nicely decorated. We had the salmon and beef stew and both were perfect. Found room for a dessert and they were lovely too -...

Staff were really friendly and provided good and prompt service. One of them gave some great drinks advice. But the food was really bad. Veggie Wellington contained half cooked mushrooms with far too much rosemary, no other flavour. The meat in other dishes was really...

Popped in here yesterday for Sunday lunch & I have to say it’s the worst meal I’ve ever have & the first time I left no tip. The roast beef had obviously slipped out of a packet, with no taste & nothing more than hospital...

We regularly visit - the staff are always really friendly and helpful. Food is lovely with a great menu and specials. Recently went for bonfire night - had a fantastic time. A band , few stalls and brilliant fireworks. Thanks to everyone who arranged it.
