The York in Sheffield

Used to be one of the best pubs in Sheffield which somehow the new owners have managed to ruin through a carefully planned combination of butchering the layout, a tacky sounding quiz and an American Diner style menu (although can’t comment on the actual food as we didn’t eat there).

Love it from SJA building and roofing services

Ate an anniversary dinner here and it was fantastic - the new menu is excellent, and the food was unpretentious and perfectly executed. Particular highlight was the warm banana bread dessert with rum caramel and coconut sorbet - delicious! Great service as well and a lively and bustling atmosphere - highly recommend.

Good selection of beers, great food and service.

This was my first visit to the pub and I was thoroughly impressed. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the food was excellent. I had the onion bhaji and paneer sandwich with chips and it was delicious. I would recommend everyone to visit this pub.

We have been in three times since the new owners took over (Kirkstall and Five Points), beers are nice, food is great and good value for money, staff are friendly and helpful.

Only there for an hour so can't really give much comment, but the food was very good as was the service.

Good pub, great and idiosyncratic quiz

Decent pub grub menu. Decent range of beers. Selection of reasonably-priced cocktails on an additional offer. Background music (interesting stuff too!) at a reasonable level I could spend a whole day in here There's the list. I shall add that the Currywurst was my food selection (which had lovely chips included). It was very tasty indeed. I would have had the banana bread dessert, if it were anything but coconut sorbet that accompanied it. However as it stands, I have 2 halves of even more of their ales in front of me and the temptation of an old fashioned in my mind and on their menu. Polite staff too.

This place changes lives. The beer selection is something created by the old god and the new. The food seems to be curated by angels. The interior is quaint but with a modern twist and the music was the greatest selection I've heard inside. The staff are all beautiful and caring, they made my visit here undeniably the best experience I've had since 1988!

Staff couldn't be more helpful. Nice clean pub/restaurant. Food excellent. I had the best steak pie ever! Happy to recommend.

Service was exceptional, very friendly and attentive. And the food was absolutely fantastic, definitely worth the price it was delicious and nice big portions. Good range of food on the menu and nice atmosphere. Would absolutely recommend!!

Food was amazing, was not expecting the presentation or taste to such high standards from a pub. We all had different things and it was superb. I had sea brea and banana bread for dessert and it was all faultless.

This an updated review since ownership changed. Great selection of real ales. Food looked decent, although I didn't partake. Nice terrace for a cigar also.

Nice and cozy pub, with nice atmosphere. Friendly staff and nice beer garden in the back.

On a visit to my son who lives in Sheffield we ventured in !! Great selection of beers and will be back 👌 Mike.

Only called for a drink ,friendly comfortable not too expensive

This is one of my most favourite pubs in Sheffield. Friendly staff and good drinks. We came in for a Sunday roast dinner and it was one of the best roasts I’ve had in a while! The apple and rhubarb crumble was also delicious.

Was really unimpressed with the beer last time I was here in COVID. Complete turnaround now. Everything was good, beer, food, atmosphere, service, prices. Well done, York.

Great quiz! Love all the staff there, Luke brought a great atmosphere to the quiz!

Only let me know on the morning of Mother’s Day I had not been given a table. Thanks

Definitely not like it used to be 'back in the day' but still a good pub. About to be taken over by a new brewery. So hopefully will remain a stalwart of broomhill.

Came here for Sunday lunch today with my pooch. It was quite quiet on arrival, but soon became very busy. Met at the bar by a friendly staff member who showed me to a free table, handed me the menu and took my drinks order. Great range of both cask and keg beers, I chose the Cryo craft beer, which was delicious. Waiting staff were attentive and friendly not just to me but to other diners around me too. The bar/restaurant had a great atmosphere and the great teamwork of staff was evident. I gave my order of Calamari followed by the Roast pork dinner and I also ordered a side of Cauliflower cheese. The starter arrived promptly with a sweet balsamic glazed salad and a flavoured mayonnaise. I decent portion of delicately coated and fried calamari was a great start. Not long after followed a huge portion of Roast pork, crackling, Yorkshire pudding stuffing, roast potatoes, parsnips, carrots, braised leeks and delightfully spiced red cabbage. Needless to say, I didn't really need the delicious side of Cauliflower cheese, but It would have been rude not to eat it! The generous portion of pork was too much for even me, so a certain pooch gleefully chomped on a deliciously tender slice, in addition to some Yorkshire pud! All in all a lovely experience and will definitely be back soon!

Had a family meal for 8 on Sunday. Selection of roast meals. All served hot well presented. Food was very good and tasty. Friendly staff. Welcoming and nice atmosphere. Would re commend.

I love this pub, lucky to have it as a local. Always going to give it 5 stars as nowhere in the vicinity comes close to the ambience here. However I was a bit disappointed by the beer and food on last visit. Less impressive range of local beers and my dinner was a small portion of burger and fries. I don't have a big appetite and I was hungry when I got home. It was like a small childs portion of fries.

Sides were nice but meat was inedible and had to be sent back. Service was fine but hard to get attention when required outside of ordering. Not a great experience especially for the price.

One of my all time favourite pubs in Sheffield. Wonderful atmosphere, amazing food (such good pie 🤤), and incredibly welcoming to all.

Had to ask the staff to take our order after waiting over the average waiting time, with two small children I don’t find this ideal. The calamari was overly cooked! Cheap horrible salad. The Sunday roast arrived at a temperature that wasnt right it was on par of been cold. The Yorkshire puddings were burnt! Bill came to 91.00 and the server asked if we wanted our change 🤣 urgh yes! Will never come here for a Sunday roast ever again! So glad I didn’t go for the three meat as the the chicken was horrible (the children had a chicken dinner) we had to ask for condiments I just can’t believe he asked if we wanted our change 🤣

Very nice Sunday lunch from a very fussy eater!, have tried a few places in Sheffield but I go here every two weeks to meet my brother highly recommend.

Our evening started well. Friendly attentive staff...good service. Food was fine with great size portions although it was slightly over salted. Vegan option had a weird combination of flavours. However our waiter was nowhere to be found from about halfway through our meal. We wanted deserts and liqueurs and a doggy bag at the end of our meal but just left having paid at the bar. We always tip but didn't this time.

The family went for Xmas day lunch at the York .A party of 11 of us at £80 per head. The food was well below average ,indeed the beef was inedible .we did discreetly complain that the beef was undercooked and had large chunks of unrendered fat running through it.The manager on duty was rude and verging on aggresive and refused to acknowledge any problems with the food. Please see the pictures of the beef we were served. We had a response from management who gave us a cookery lesson on how they cook their beef and an apology regarding the attitude of the duty manager ,apparently he had a migraine the day before so wasn’t feeling one hundred per cent We were offered free drinks as recompense for the food being inedible. But on reflection we should have insisted on our money back but who wants to be aurguing on Xmas day 😢

For this chain the food here has been consistently poor. Broadfield and Kelham much better.

We had Christmas lunch at the York today and must leave this glowing report. We had an excellent time with great food and excellent service . Such thoughtful staff who even helped my disabled Mother in Law cross the road to get in our car . Thank you again we will be back next Christmas.

Had a society Christmas meal, with about 100 people, and food and service was great! Decorations were really festive and made for some really good pictures. Christmas package was a great deal and would definitely recommend!

Local pub with good food menu. Not a bad soundtrack. Real ales.

Ate Sunday lunch here a couple of weeks ago. Kitchen staff (except for the guy wearing a blue hir net) looked scruffy Food arrived Luke warm, veg so burnt 1 on our table thought they had a bone in their mince pie, the “bone” was actually cremated parsnip. Two lunches had dirty long grey hair in clearly from a kitchen guy who had long wifey grey hair protected by an unhygienic beanie hat. Waiting staff were lovely & appologetic. Never again

Large group of us arrived for Sunday lunch. Ordered roasts, food arrived luke warm with totally burnt vegetables, I mean cremated and inedible. The stuffing was in 'tablet' form, flat as an after eight mint but smaller! Mash potato was utterly tasteless, SMASH would have been better. Limited to 2 very small roasties which were overdone but edible. Not wanting to cause a fuss we ploughed on until 2 of us found a very long, wiry, grey hair in our food. This belonged to one of the kitchen staff who had 'said' hair and nothing but a beanie hat on, no hygiene protection at all. Lots of staff in the kitchen looked like they needed to take a shower, most looked like they'd fell out of bed on a Sunday morning and gone straight to work! Our waiting person was very nice and apologetic, they looked really embarrassed but this wasn't their fault. We didn't pay for the 2 'hairy' meals. Sorry to write such a damming review but you really need to up your game in respect of hygiene, staff uniforms, food quality and kitchen staff personal hygiene.

Fantastico sitio donde ir a degustar una cena de alta calidad y buen surtido de vinos y cervezas. Tienen un equipo fantastico. He tenido una sorpresa al visitar el pub, su plato de cerdo me a enamorado. Animo seguid asi.

Loved our pie and chips, the portion of peas were in a tiny sauce pot. Would return but order an extra side of peas!. Great vegetarian options.

Good food, friendly vibe, excellent service (Mark N from the bill!) Always appreciate helpful and attentive service, hence my review. Enjoyed the 2for £12 cocktail offer too!

It's the place I Go to See old Friends after Hair cuts! Lovely Pint of Stones Bitter and a Good selection of Real Ales

Nice atmosphere, decent wine and service

Not there for long it is ok but was getting increasingly noisy

Lovely bar staff, great vibe and looks like awesome food offers too!

Terrible meal here yesterday evening. We bought a visitor from overseas here to enjoy a traditional pub experience and couldn't be more disappointed. The staff were friendly but disinterested. The food was awful, burnt fish and chips! Burnt onion rings! Cold peas! Then the pub quiz which was advertised online as starting at 9 began just after 8, so we attempted to eat our unpleasant meal to the sound of the booming PA. I asked the barman if I could leave some feedback as we paid our £90 bill and he suggested I'd be better scanning the qr code on the receipt, completely disinterested in our experience. We used to enjoy The York for the good food and the friendly efficient staff. Really sad to see what it has apparently become. *Edit After 2 months I'm very surprised to find that the establishment hasn't at least acknowledged this review. Sums up what The York seems to have become...

Had fish and chips which is usually a safe bet. Thinnest driest chewiest most over cooked fish I have had in my life. Real shame. Have eaten here before and no problems.. our other meals were fine . Service was great. They comped my meal but that's not the point.

This did used to be a terrific pub and place to eat, but has recently gone really down hill recently with ‘surly rude staff’ that spend most of their time on their phones openly bitching about others instead of giving great service… It does have a large turnover of staff for what ever reason and managers (latest one doesn’t even look like she can be bothered) which is a shame but it’s not the only place in the area…

Food was poor, but staff were great

Came after work for a drink and decided to have tea, as it was a Wednesday it was £12.50 for a pie and a pint which was lovely! We all had the chicken, mushroom and leek which was so good!

Drinks are nice, staff are great. Don't bother with the food

Always a friendly place. Good people. Happy vibe. Inclusive, safe space for all & vegan friendly too.

Great experience there as part of a big group. Excellent, friendly service, fabulous atmosphere and incredible onion rings!!

Fantastic pub with amazing atmosphere. Highly recommend.

Lovely place, positive, diverse and welcoming. Much recommended.

Had a wonderful family meal at the York, great food, nice beers and fantastic attentive staff.

Care about customer safety and don't tolerate bigots in their establishment. Well done!

Marvellous place, great food and drink. Happily inclusive 🤩

Anti-discrimination, provides a safe space for all, except the intolerant, very happy atmosphere and service

Fantastic family pub! Great atmosphere and menu. Lovely kind staff. Very LGBT friendly. Highly recommended! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Had some space reserved for a party - food was great, the environment is lovely and the staff went out of their way to ensure everybody felt comfortable. Would highly recommend.

Booked half the pub for my 40th birthday party with friends and family and it was brilliant! Wonderful atmosphere with attentive staff, and they coordinated with our cake shop directly so we didn't have to worry about that on the day! Absolutely brilliant day, highly recommended!

Absolute kip. Wouldn't like the place at all. Staff where very rude.

Good food, good atmosphere, lovely staff and they take good care of their Guinness lines

Awful atmosphere, very unfriendly staff , as a female party we felt intimidated, I wouldn’t go back

Excellent establishment. Kudos for being inclusive and very LGBTQIA+ friendly!

A great place to have a drink with friends, very welcoming and sweet staff

Super pub, super food, super staff, super atmosphere. All in all? Terrific place, we'll come back.

Wonderful establishment, made even more wonderful because they’re not afraid to take a stance and ban transphobic patrons. 100% top experience, thank you everyone in the team for being so great. Will be recommending to everyone I know.

Kicked out a bigot and barred them. Fantastic! Thankyou for not tolerating intolerant people. Wanted more places where everyone feels safe.

Excellent friendly place with fantastic staff and great food and drink. Highly recommended.

Lovely place and as i've heard a safe space for queer people too 💕

Excellent pub. Very friendly staff who go out of their way to make sure their customers feel safe and comfortable. Highly recommended.

One of my favourite pubs. Gets it right. Atmosphere, drinks, food, all top notch.

Great food, good selection of beer, amazing staff.

Nice staff, nice ambience, good selection of drinks, good pub grub

Excellent service and friendly staff, who dealt well with a disruptive and rude customer haranguing staff about a supposedly trans customer.

Great food, excellent staff. Tried a variety of the cocktail selections and was not disappointed by any of them.

They let men enter the women's toilet. Not as progressive as they think and definitely not women friendly

I heard that a woman went into the restroom and there was a man in there dressed as a woman, and when she complained, they banned her. Ladies, go somewhere else unless you want a bloke peeping on you in the bathroom!

Avoid if you are a woman. The staff not only allows, but encourages men to enter the womens toilet and intimidate women. If any woman raises a concern, the staff ban her. Despicable.

Never ordered any food but the cider they had (think was an apple/mango kind) was very nice and the place was very clean and friendly atmosphere.

This is a nice light pub with a sunny beer garden to the rear. I was impressed as they also made a great alternative milk decaf cappuccino, which is rare for a pub. In a nice village called Broomhill - which is also popular with university students. Staff friendly & helpful.

Good value cocktails at 2 for £12.

Good spot. Great gravy and hummus!

Dropped in for a bit of Sunday lunch. Was steadily busy but seemed to have lots of seats free. Ordered from a set menu 2 courses for £20, or 3 for £25. Friend is a gluten free vegetarian and they were able to accommodate with their menu. Food was tasty, beef was nice but was covering the veg below, like the tats, leeks and broccoli. The food comes with gravy already poured over it, this also meant the waiter had his thumb in my gravy when it was delivered. Not the waiters fault, but it should be served in a jug as standard. Toddler had a mini roast, the beef there tasted garlicky which ours didnt. i was jealous! Make sure to download the True North app for discounts. The kitchen did offer us a free brownie, i think as they had overstock, which was lovely and a nice gesture and capped off a lovely afternoon. Staff were friendly and interacted with our toddler nicely. Only marked down as the plating/gravy could have been better. Perhaps offering to put in a jug as a standard.

Fantastic gastropub. Good range of beers and excellent food. Had a table of 20 midweek for my 30th recently and the service was brilliant.

Helpful staff and excellent real ales.

Haven’t been here for about 5 years. It used to be excellent, but it has obviously changed hands and is not good. The calamari starter was chewy, and the fish and chips was very unappetising. Shame.

Worth another visit! We, a family of three, went there for lunch on a Saturday. Arrived just after 1200, it was very quiet. It was busy went we left. The food was good, portions decent. Perhaps a bit pricey. £45 for lunch plus drinks. The house burger was very tasty and well cooked, the fries very good, the bacon needed to be either trimmed better or cooked more to melt the fat. The fish and chips went down well too, fish being fantastic, chips ok. Children menu has decent options.

Lively relaxed pub with fair choice of real ales.

If you want to be blown off by a stuck up waiter who's decided you don't look English enough to satisfy his sense of propriety whist you watch patron after patron who arrived after you get their food, then do drop in here. I didn't see a sign that said locals only anywhere in the establishment, but they'd be doing folks a favour by warning them in advance....Oh and half the menu wasn't available to boot. YMMV.

Had a great lunch .The pie was to die for

Not sure why there are some negatives here ( suppose you can’t please everyone !!) we love our Sunday roasts and often travel around trying different places. The York did not disappoint , amazing tasty veg, not the cheap rubbish some pubs pile on your plate, lovely quality…. And that pie !!! Oh my word, rammed with melt in the mouth steak! Staff from walking in were lovely and polite. Very reasonable priced. I’ve paid more for far worse! Don’t hesitate to visit. Loved it!! As a build ( even though your sticky toffee pudding was a delightful treat, it would be best served on a long plate vs the bowl, so that delish sauce can soak into all the sponge rather than just the middle as the sponge was quite long.

Visited with family for a Sunday Roast of beef. Awful tough meat and soggy Yorkshire puddings. Won’t visit again.

Couldn't fault Sam and the staff more. Not was he was he smart looking but he knew how to keep a pint tasting like smooth bubbles in my mouth

I've rarely felt so welcome in a pub. The service was warm and convivial, and I truly felt like I belonged there, which as a ginger person, is rare. Would highly recommend to anyone, redhead or otherwise.

Called in on a Saturday evening nice place with a decent selection of ales and spirits unfortunately it's looking very tired and in urgent need of a makeover.

Lovely pub, very helpful team 👍

One of my favourite local pubs and always serving great food - try the Pie Sunday Dinners! A very impressive range of local ales and lagers, with the guest beer changing regularly so you can try someone new! My recommendation is the Sheffield Pilsner… very easy drinking (too easy in fact!). Quiz is a good laugh and gets pretty busy especially when the students are in town. Make sure you book for food… especially on a Sunday as gets very busy.

A standard pub serving Sunday roast dinner.Quite busy and crowded resulting in having to shout to keep a conversation.Probably poor acoustics? Noisy environment
