Wisewood Inn in Sheffield

Had sunday roast,absolutely gorgeous food and generous portions ,highly recommend 👌

Waste of money and over rated food won't be returning

Call in for a mid week tea, and what a tea it was, expanding waist band needed, the mix grill was absolutely mega. The other meals were spot on and no complaints at all, very nice and very good quality. The beer was off the charts, I don't think I've ever seen a beer as clear and as bright as their pale ale. Stunning Top service, really friendly and welcoming.

Lovely pub with great food and you can take your dog so it's a win win 🏆

Great food, good selection of very good beers brewed on site, plenty of room, Alround good public house.

Lovely place for both indoor and outdoor dining. The food is delicious and the light lunch fantastic value.

Good pub for meals. Very nice food.

Delicious food. Very nice staff.

Visited for a weekday lunch , opted for the main menu instead and had the wisey pie , I've got to say not only was it the best steak pie I've come across but also the biggest, had homemade chips which were also plentiful and very tasty. Would recommend this pub if you want value for money and really nice food. I have been told their Sunday dinners are also highly recommended.

Brilliant pub with Fantastic Ales. We went for dinner, and the food and service were second to none. The beer selection is well kept and extensive.

Excellent food and service , would highly recommend. Can't wait to return to try their normal menu as all had Sunday Lunch.

11/08/24 We have eaten many times here and love it but so shocked today the food was so bad Sunday lunch beef was like leather and one of our party had pork just full of fat . It was a hot day and the staff didn’t really want to work . We sat down stairs half outside .i ended up taking our plates in the bar as the staff was sat down having her break eating crisp . Just shocked how bad it was .

Never actually been myself but the reviews look alright 👍🏼

Fantastic pub, great food and drinks - at reasonable prices.

Excellent beer and brilliant food. One of the nicest pubs in Sheffield. You can enjoy a nice walk then end it with a good meal and some excellent beer. Fantastic

This place has a bit of attitude when it comes to customer service. Visiting my son in Sheffield on a nice sunny evening, we chose this pub for its large beer garden. We tried to order nachos to share as a starter and burgers for mains, but were told the kitchen refused to do starters for customers sitting in the beer garden. The reason given – it takes too much effort to go and check if they’ve finished with their starters. That means they just don’t get bar food service. Table service, when an order is taken at your table, yes, typically if starters are ordered the kitchen may do a check before working on the mains. Bar service, you don’t do this – you simply time the mains to be ready some time later than the starters, allowing the time usually taken to eat these, and then some, to be on the safe side. Nobody minds if there is a five or ten minute gap between finishing their starters and their mains arriving. That’s what the likes of Wetherspoons do – they don’t check on every table that has ordered starters before cooking the mains. It’s simple, basics about running a pub food operation. Told the guy taking our order this, noting that I have professional experience of managing F&B operations, and joked that maybe they should sack whoever is running the kitchen, since this is clearly too hard for them. The look on his face – he asked if I was serious. Got the impression that if I’d said yes, they’d have refused to serve us! Told him it was a joke but that I wasn’t impressed. And may I say, as long as a customer isn’t ranting or raving, just allow them to express displeasure with something, their opinions. It’s part of the job description when your role involves serving customers. Just smile, thank for the feedback and apologise; it’s not hard. So… we had to order our nachos, eat them, then separately order the burgers. When the nachos came, the server asked if we wanted plates or cutlery, then went and got them – fine, as you’d expect. But when the burgers came with no cutlery provided, we were simply told (by a different person) to go back into the pub and get them ourselves. It’s the little touches like this (or not) that communicate whether a place gets customer service, or not.

First time being in for tea enjoyed it 😊

Love it, only been once but I'd definitely go back, lovely food, great prices 🥰

Great food and lovely staff. Would definitely recommend.

Delicious Sunday roast, good portion, loved being able to choose up to three meats! Decent price too, definitely will return!

Had some a couple of good meals here in the past but this today wasn't one of them. The chips turned up to the table all burnt as pictured. Another reviewer just recently complained about poorer standards here lately and the place's reply was if you'd let one of our lovely staff know we could have resolved it for you. Well, we had a satisfaction check and we told a member of staff the problem, showed the plate, said we were disappointed for the money paid, who then said 'sorry about that' and walked away. We then waited expecting a manager to come and discuss it and see the evidence and sort things out, but guess what... no! So we just ate what we could left. It's not cheap here and looking at these reviews it seems like basically you can get a good meal sometimes, other times you don't. I guess if you're thinking of eating here just hope you get a good one, and don't get served up what is pictured here!

Lovely proper country pub with some amazing food! Definitely recommend the pie, lunch menu portions were massive! Lovely staff aswell, came in last weekend for the beer festival and it was amazing just what we needed at the beginning of summer! Had a Sunday dinner too and was to die for! Good beers on draught too, as well as their own casks and kegs! Great value for money!

Food has been on a decline on my past few visits. Seems like a lot of things are pre cooked and then heated up. Fish and chips were very disappointing

Great food, good beer and friendly staff

Lush Sunday dinner. Everything nicely done and the cheese sauce accompaniment makes a difference. Very fast service.

Great food, great spot, there for lunch and driving but hopefully get to try the beers next time.

Lovely place to eat, at a reasonable price. Staff are very pleasant and great seating area round the back. There's even some land for kids to run around and play. We had 2 bottles of wine.

13 of us visited the pub on Saturday night for a birthday party, we did the same last year. The previous year was fantastic, hence why we returned this year. This year was spoilt by a very rude, ignorant and very uncaring member of staff. We believe he was the bar manager with ginger hair and a beard. We booked a table in the upstairs bar, but we moved downstairs into the cellar to enjoy a bit of sun and to order food. We were told that we could not eat inside and would have to sit outside as they had a function on Sunday! How ridiculous! The attitude was terrible and we are not sure why he is working in the hospitality industry. Anyway we ordered food, a selection of tapas and burgers, which to be fair was very good. We were told to clear own plates away, which again seemed very unfriendly and professional. We then moved back to the upstairs bar area and asked if we could use the tables next to bar where we were greeted with a shrug of the shoulder, it was a very unpleasant experience. We worked out that we had spent over £300 with food and drinks, so we would have hoped for a great experience, sadly disappointed. We shall not be returning and would suggest the Adirmal Rodney would be a better option. It is such a shame that a pub can have a tarnished reputation due to one individual’s horrendous attitude.

Nice little pub! Great for some proper grub

Quite quiet for a Saturday, but the food was tasty, highly recommend the Pollo al Pesto pizza. Meatballs & patatas bravas were also good. Lovely outdoor seating area

Took my mum here for Sunday lunch and she's still talking about how nice it was, 5 stars for earning me some brownie points 👍🏻

Busy place of an evening. Lovely out in the bet garden as the sun set. Food promptly served and very tasty. Will be back

Excellent reasonably priced food. Great selection of gins

Excellent food and customer service.

Such a wonderful pub! The lunch menu is good value at 2 meals for £16, the Sunday roast is also great value for money and large portions. the atmosphere is cosy and welcoming. Feel very lucky to have this pub nearby! The beer garden is lovely in the summer 🌞

I have been going to the Wisewood for Sunday dinner for a few years & have never been disappointed however when I visited on Sunday the dinner was literally 1/2 the size it usually is, the lamb was fatty the stuffing you could just about see if you use a magnifying glass the mashed potato although delicious was the size of a large egg! it was also just about warm, the yorkshire puddings have also shrunk. I did book in late afternoon as the early slots were all booked, I do wonder if this is why the food (which may add is normally the best in Sheffield) was not up to the usual standard. It definitely put us off and we will not go again!

The first time I went to the Wisewood was mid week for a light lunch inside it was busy but not crowded and staff were busy and efficient. Light lunch arrived quickly and delivered by pleasant, efficient and helpful staff ready to help with all any requests. The second time was for a Sunday roast with my grandson and his fiancée. Again it was busy as we expected and had booked a table in advance. Arriving early we notified staff we had arrived and ordered drinks which we took the outside seating area to pass the time until our booking time came round. There's a large selection of beers lathers and spirits with soft drinks for the children who are warmly welcomed as well. On ordering our meals I opted for a small roast meal still having a choice of at least three of the five options of joints. I'm glad I did as I definitely would need help if I'd chosen the adults full plate. On arrival which was very quick everything was hot and well cooked. The staff were happy to provide us additional sauce as we asked. All in all I would definitely recommend the Wisewood Inn to all and will definitely be going again.

Great ales and food, friendly local and welcoming staff.

Top quality pub food, great beer all in a dog and family friendly environment. Awesome Sunday dinners and altogether great value.

Quaint little pub. We've been a few times for Sunday dinner, we love it. Best to book in advance for food as it gets booked up quick. Great choice for meats for Sunday dinner, good portions, speedy service and the cheese sauce is to die for! Couldn't ask for more 😊

Went to a 75th party food fabulous really enjoyed.

Waitress was friendly and efficient, but steak was cooked well done, instead of medium rare as requested. Waitress exchanged, but the rest of the dish was cold when returned (must have been due left somewhere cold during the recooking of another steak). Informed the waiter when he came and cleared the plates at the end but nothing was done other than him saying he’d inform the chef. Really disappointing as we’ve had a few people recommend this place to us…

Parking was a bit of a problem to many tables in eating area to many people in the eating area uncomfortable at times nice food I must say.

We had a starter 3 soups which were all cold. I had a steak which was nice but my daughter’s pizza was not cooked properly. Disappointed as we had travelled to see my daughter who is a university student and the reviews were very good.

Great food and excellent service

Great pub , with a good selection of beers and food is excellent. Nice views over the Loxley valley. Will be visiting again for sure .

Delicious food and great selection of drinks, took a little while to get service but they were busy so that's totally understandable.

Nice food and beer at reasonable prices

Putting it basically, this has to be one of the top pubs in the area!

Really nice place. Good for families, the food was really tasty, good portions sizes and the bar and waiting staff were spot on 👍🏻

We've been before but now They've upped their game .So Good

Worst prawn cocktail I've ever seen, no lettuce, instead some green leaves? 2 bits of red pepper! Onion,and half a dozen shrimps (certainly not prawns) in a teaspoon of Marie rose sauce. For £6 awful!!

Just had a n Xmas meal. To be fair it wasn't very good, was expecting better. Not worth the money we paid. Quite disappointed with the Wisewood.

Nice friendly welcome, a varied beer selection. The food was very tasty & well presented. ( fish & chips, rack of ribs, meat & potato pie, chilly burger ) Great value for money. Will definitely call in again.

Brilliant local pub: 4 star food - the menus is too big 4 star service - can’t get table outside 4 star atmosphere - fantastic local but sometimes far too hot inside.

Fantabulosi. Not too expensive fish and chips. No skin on the fish. The batter was to die for. Chips were wunderbar. Will be going there again. The last time I went there was 40 years ago when I went to a party a couple of hundred yards away! How time flies!

Great selection of beers, excellent food - good value for money

Once again a good meal and friendly service.🍻

Great food, and atmosphere. Would highly recommend to anyone.

Will definitely be going here again. Sunday roast was outstanding.

We visited on Friday 17th of November. We had the 2 for £14 option from the menu. Our only complaint was the food came on cold plates and the meal itself was just warm. The staff themselves were pleasant and the place was clean.

The cheese sauce delighted my day🥰

Excellent food we had the 2 for £14 pound menu the steak pie was delicious

Amazing place and great value for money. Food was good, beer was good and the atmosphere was really friendly

First time visitors, drawn by the lovely Loxley beers and reviews. Arrived early lunchtime. Glad we did as the pub soon filled. Great service, food and beer. Very impressed by the care given to a table of customers with additional needs. Patient, caring and kind in a very understated way. Need to find a bus route. Those beers are so good

Absolutely brilliant friendly staff, quality of the food was superb, actually visited two nights on the trot. Had various meals from the menu from pizza to pub favourites sausage and mash, highly recommend the homemade meat and potato pie with mash and pea's. The curry dish was nice also.

Always a pleasure to drop in for a pint, or two, of black dog whilst walking our Black Labradors up Loxley Valley.

Fantastic food, beer and service, as always.

Very surprised first time visiting, will definitely do it again soon

Beautiful food. Generous portions, although the lamb balti was very hot, more like vindaloo. Service impeccable

Amazing food ,Brilliant value for money in this day and age ,great selection of local Ales and had a nice outdoor green for kids to run around will most certainly be returning 👍👍😀

Great food and portion size. Parking is a pain and drinks harder than it should be.

Great value food with very generous portions together with great service & in very pleasant surroundings. Would highly recommend!

Went for a Sunday roast and it was absolutely beautiful

Sorry to say but after coming here for their legendary pie, peas and hendersons gravy for many years, last nights was a let down. The chips which are normally delicious were more like wedges and dry ( thankfully they brought out extra gravy) and the pie crust seemed more like the crust of a pork pie rather than what it has been, seemed hard. We were all disappointed. Hoping this was a one off 🤞

Very disappointing fish and chips heavy thick batter and thick chips .

Came here for Sunday Lunch today and I can honestly say it was one of the best roasts I've ever had, certainly the best I've had at a pub. Pub roasts can often be a disappointing, low effort affair, but this was truly exceptional! They had a great range of meats, all well cooked, massive Yorkshire puddings, perfectly cooked veg, and the cheese sauce was to die for. Not to mention the giant roast potatoes and the REAL mash! I'd highly recommend a visit, the rest of the menu looked great as well, so we will certainly be back!

OK so this is our go-to for the best pub food in the area. Staff are efficient and polite and they usually have a good selection of craft beer and ale's on tap. Interestingly, they brew their own beer from a natural water spring within the grounds. Massive beer garden outside when the weather allows.

Called in for lunch, bank holiday Monday. Despite it being busy, we got a table and were served reasonably quickly. We fancied going to the quiz on Wednesday. One of the bar staff booked us a table. We were glad he did as the pub was very busy, with all tables taken. The quiz was really good, not too simple but also not university challenge level either. We came runners up which wasn't bad for our first go. All in all an enjoyable night

Great food ,good price, and staff very friendly great setting with a big beer garden to the back

Honest pub food at honest prices. Washed down with their fabulous home brewed ales, what else can you want?

This place is fab. Great food, lovely service.

Just had a halloumi salad! Sooo nice! Food always good here but this is down as one of favourites! 😊

Cannot be beaten on quality of food for the price, especially the afternoon 2 for £14 offer. Travel from Rotherham, there is just nowhere anywhere near as good near me. The meat & potato pie is a must. Even the locally brewed bitter and ales take some beating too. Recommended 100%.

We went for a family sunday lunch get together, so with our 2 nephews there was 7 of us. The food & choice was excellent, 2 of us are meat free. There was a sunday roast option available plus fish & a couple of burgers so a decent selection to choose from. Drinks & desserts were also very yummy so would highly recommend a visit here.

1st time me and my girlfriend went for Sunday dinner , it was stunning...really enjoyed it, could not fault it. Be back for sure .

Not much choices food run out and average food one of our parties food was over cooked didn't enjoy the evening at all £25 for a teebone steak quite pricey for a pub

Lovely food, generous portions, huge variety! And great range of locally brewed beers!

Lovely pub! Service was great and we LOVED the food & beer. Generous portion and fair price. Defo recommend the pie 10/10

Good food good price great dining experience

We booked a table for 7 Sunday 13/8/23 was looking forward to a good meal very disappointed where do I start we had lamb looked like it had been hacked off with a hammer and chisel really thick and we were unable cut it due to the ridiculous knives in the end we had to ask for steak knives to try to slice them my daughters gluten free Yorkshire puddings looked like flying saucers Rock hard on bottom sent them back got almost the same back vegetables I understand al dente but this was ridiculous looked like they had been introduced to a pan of hot water then served up raw I don’t usually post on reviews sites but we paid over £170 for a disappointment afternoon please take this in the spirit that if you don’t get feedback back good or bad you cannot attempt to improve your standards

Really good menu and selection of beers, only downside is that there is only parking on the road side but well worth a visit.

Garden out back has some stunning views

Lively Pub with lovely beer garden. The food looked good though I wasn't there for food. Friendly staff and pleasant clientele. Rather too many seats and tables reserved for eating and only a few high chairs and tables to sit at. Family friendly.

Lovely lunch time hot sandwiches. Busy.

Wow!! There's not many places like this around.. fantastic food, allow food swaps, amazing service at the bar, lovely views.. very fair prices! Wow wow wow 👌

Always amazing food and service

We come up most weeks for the quiz on a Wednesday evening. The staff are so friendly and food portions are incredible value for money!

Good lunch time menu good selection at right price

Very very busy Friday teatime no off road parking had to go elsewhere.
