The Wentworth House - Sheffield

Staff was too busy on their phones, manager was rude and too busy picking his nose at times. Glasses was dirty and wasn’t even washed. AVOID

First time we have been here and loved it , took my Husband for a birthday Sunday dinner and we both enjoyed it very much! Staff are very friendly We shall return!

This pub is a little piece of yesteryear surrounded by modern stuff. I presume it is listed otherwise it would surely have been knocked down with all the other historic pubs in the area. It is an old Wards pub and still has the old Wards neon sign outside. Inside was really nice; quirky and a lot of the original features are preserved and it seemed to have a nice outside sitting area. Sadly the beer offering was poor. Only 2 hand pulled beers and one of those had run out. Inexcusable! The food menu was very limited most items had been crossed out as not available though the place did seem to have a decent sized kitchen. I had a club sandwich which was enormous and pretty good with fresh ingredients but slightly spoiled by the chicken being from chicken nuggets. At the back is what looks like an eating area/function room with large speakers. Rather out of character I thought but there again I could not quite see what market the place was aiming at. Would be interested to visit in the evening. If the place got a decent range of cask ales and improved the menu I think it would be great. If only they could bring back the original pint of Wards Best Bitter i'd be there every week. I'd like to give it another chance anyway.

I have been coming into this pub since the early 1980 's so have seen a lot of changes. The beer was always the attraction, being a former Wards house. Just prior to the refurb and the change in ownership they used to do really good pub food but since the change they don 't seem to do this anymore. This is a shame as the only other eating place is the eighteen ten which if you read my review of that you wan 't want to go there. The welcome is good here and you can strike up a good Sheffield chin wag with most of the clientele. Beer quality is excellent but can be pricey. This is probably due to having a captive punter with no other pubs in the area. I paid £3 for Bradfield Belgian Blue which at the Nags Head in Loxley is £2 a pint. Admittedly the Nags is a tied Bradfield pub and the brewery tap so will be a bit cheaper. The Wentworth has had a really good refurb and is very clean compared to what it used to be like. Please start doing the quality food that used to be served here and we will call in for a pub lunch now and again. Can not fault the quality of beer and this is a hidden gem in Sheffield and will go down in my book as part of the real ale circuit!! Full marks apart from the beer prices.

We were made to feel very welcome here during our short visit in Sunday. Lovely pub, good beers at decent prices. Will definitely return. Handy for drinks prior to DSA arena events.
