The Yard Canteen And Grill - Sheffield

After our spa visit, we were in search of a quick meal before heading home. We seated ourselves and found the staff to be very friendly and approachable. The menu was simple and easy to navigate. The Yorkshire Pie was absolutely delicious, I would highly recommend it. We will definitely be returning, as we thoroughly enjoyed our experience.

Staying at the Hotel decided to eat there. Just booked it expecting the quality of the food to match the standard of the hotel (which was fab However, the menu I would describe as pub food I honestly thought it would be a la...Carte or of that standard. Shame really as the staff (esp the manager was fantastic). The food was average and whilst it didnt spoil our stay it certainly contributed nothing.

Five of us old school friends met here for only our third reunion in 45 years . The bar and waiting staff, I need to say from the outset were very friendly and well meaning if not very knowledgeable.However the meal we had was very...poor. The restaurant (named the Yard for no apparent reason) was almost empty so no excuses for the rather long waits we had for each course. The fish cake starter was quite good but the half a dozen calamari were coated in very thick batter.Having just returned from Spain, it was impossible not to compare them with the real thing. They were served in a little cutesy metal basket. Why oh why do we have to put up with this style over substance approach in this country?! The mains were the real let down. Three of us ordered Tiger prawn linguine which I could have made better myself. Too much oil, too much chilli,slimy bland prawns and a meagre portion. We asked for bread and got four flabby slices of Asda White tiger loaf! Really! nor even decent bread?! The worst was the Butterfly chicken, brought out as a starter in error and returned as a main reheated and dry with cold hard oven chips. Awful! Sadly there are too many places like this in the UK where the staff have barely an amateur grasp of what constitutes a tasty plate of food. Send your chef on a training course please! Special mention must go to Owen however who made every effort to give us a good experience.Thanks Owen.

Just had a lovely meal at the restaurant , a lovely gentleman called Owen served us and attended to all our needs , very informative and friendly , I had meat pie with Sheffield’s Henderson relish , chips and minted mushy peas absolutely beautiful ,...followed by hot chocolate brownie and ice cream , will certainly be returning , beautiful and clean surroundings too ! Thank you Owen and complements to the chef xxx

We had a reservation for lunch, but upon arrival, the staff seemed confused and motioned for us to sit in the bar area in the foyer (even though the restaurant appeared empty and closed). We were left feeling cold and ignored by the waitress. When I asked for parmesan, she seemed puzzled, as if it should have been offered automatically. The tuna dish my wife ordered was dry and overcooked, while the salad was simple, with just tomatoes, lettuce, and too many olives. It felt like something you could easily make at home. Our friend's shrimp salad didn't arrive until she was almost finished with her meal, and our side of fries came 20 minutes before the main dishes, making them cold by the time we got them. Overall, it was a disappointing and embarrassing experience, especially since we had brought guests to treat them to a meal.
