Please read through this thread carefully as almost all, party/room/function questions have already been answered here!!








anybody know of any pubs with a room to hire out for an evening, preferably in the South of Sheffield.

Thanks

It's not in the South, but from what I remember, the Earl Marshall on East Bank Road (not far from town!) has that facility (Tel: 272 8812) (they use the smaller bar!), and if you wanted a big place you could try working mens clubs...

The Pitz Soccer Stadium on Woodburn Road near Attercliffe. We've had 2 parties there in 3 months. You pay a £50 deposit but you get it back if there's no damage etc. So, really it's free. Decent size too.

Big Tree at Woodseats has an upstairs function room, OK for about 50 - 75 guests. Don't know how much it costs to hire ?
Also 'Stars' (part of the ice rink) on Queens Road has two different sized function rooms but is a little more central than South, and is not a pub if that counts it out !

Yes I can vouch for Stars, it's good. not sure on pricing though.

Try Prince of Wales at Eckington or the Miners Welfare Club at Mosbro'. Both have decent rooms with a bar and are on the SE side of Sheffield. Don't know about the cost though. :)

The Red Deer(back of West St) has a room upstairs, they charge £10.
Its very good but they have a lot of regular bookings.

Does anyone know of a good sized room that we can hire and prepare our own buffett for our sons wedding.

Tried loads of places but all do their own food and its costs a fortune.

You could try St Phillip's Club on Radford Street, just off Upper Allen Street. I hired it last week for a quiz night / fund raiser and we supplied our own food. There were about 80 of us and it was about 1/3 full. There's a dance floor, disco lights and everything you might need.

Opposite a tram stop and with loads of parking.

Very reasonable rates but you need to ring on Sheffield 2722678 to get a price.

:D

I am also looking for a room for a fundraiser.

I have just rung Don Valley Stadium as they have a room that holds 250 with a bar. It costs £30 and you can bring you own food and DJ if needed or they can arrange for you.

The other one I know is Brincliffe Oaks room holds 175 and they charge £50 with no food but if you want food you do have to take their food.


Anymore ideas as I am looking
any big church halls anywhere?

Michael_W
25-04-2003, 17:29
Try Stars on Queens Road, they have two different rooms the largest of which cost me about £200 (last year) including the DJ and you can provide your own food. Contact the Ice Rink for up to date details.

Try Ridgeway Sports & Social club. Lovely room with dance floor,kitchen so that you can do your own catering and a lovely little bar area.

Rich
20-11-2003, 14:03
Yeah, The Office is good, we had the place for Mum's 50th, not THAT many years ago...

Good place, cheap enough at the bar, and good entertainment.

Classic Rock
21-11-2003, 15:23
Erm, not wishing to state the obvious, but how about the Classic Rock Bar? Room 2 holds up to 70 people. Room 1 is bigger. DJ can be provided as can food, or you can bring your own.

ROOM HIRE WILL BE FREE - just drink loads at the bar!

any suggestions for room for rent for party ? Just a room, no food, no horrible discos so people can't talk.

I am leap year baby and will be 10 leap years old next year. ( 40 to the rest of you !)

I would like to invite friends and family, and a pub room wouldn't be suitable as they freak out about under 18s.

I'd like enough space to play some party games.

any ideas appreciated !
TIA

Congratulations :D

Have you tried searching the forums? This question about rooms for hire has been raised a few times in the past. I did a quick search for "function room" and found around 4 different topics.

The search feature can be accessed from the menu to the left of your screen.

Good luck

Bangin' illegal raves :D

But seriously, when we used to try put on parties for our mates with decks and a sound system, the choice of venues was seriously limited, especially anything with a remotely late license.

The last place that was any good was the basement of the Mango Tree, and that only stayed open 'til 12.30ish.

You need something 'specialist' really I reckon - something that would pull people in for a specific reason that isn't on elsewhere.

Design a leaflet on your computer, describing in detail the facilities you have i.e. size of room and the no of people it will cater for etc and E Mail or mailshot all the businesses in your area. All businesses at some time throughout the year need a private function room for seminars, conferences, leaving party’s etc.

Rich

Try The Office in Upperthorpe, loads of space, and you don't HAVE to have the Disco or the grub there.

You know the Safeway on Infirmary Road? It's literally right behind there, just round the corner from the Upperthorpe Baths.

I know it's a good place cos we had me Mother's 50th there 5 years ago, and it were a great night :)

You should go and check out the Earl on queens rd (opposite halfords ) they have a nice big room you could use there and I am sure they would be more than happy just to put some subtle background music on for you...

the Manager there is called Greg I am sure he would love to help you ! goodluck! x and happy 40th

Where are you coming from?
Try the Lomas hall or the church hall in Stannington, I used the church hall for my birthday once, it has all the amenities
and if you do want to go to a pub after there's 4 in close range of each other.

I can pm you the tel # if you like.

Hello

Any body got any ideas of where we can go for a nice meal for about 70 people and a good party, not necessarily the same place. The reception venue doesn't have to have catering, we can sort that out, but it'd be nice if there were pleasant grounds/gardens. Somewhere we can have a live band would be good too.
We're not looking for anything too formal, just fun, but other than stuffy hotels we've no idea where to begin looking.

All help gratefully received!

Try Wortley Hall, it's not far from Sheffield and it's licensed to hold weddings.

Wortley Hall wedding page (http://www.wortleyhall.com/weddings.php)

odette
02-03-2004, 12:58
Cheers for that it looks nice. We're getting married in church (only thanks to Iamanant for remindining us we should do that!) so it's just post nuptials fun we're looking for.

They do receptions too, you don't have to get married there.

Good luck with wherever you choose.

Rich
02-03-2004, 13:41
Good place for the post-wedding do is The Office at Upperthorpe, you know where the Safeway on Infirmary Road is? The Office is behind there... One of the best things about The Office is that it's FREE to hire, which leaves you and your spouse more moolah left over for the BEER! And the nibbles and entertainment of course.

A.B.Yaffle
02-03-2004, 14:15
my fiancee and i are also planning a church wedding, and we have been looking for somewhere to hold the reception. We may have a look at The Office.. its not far from where i live! It will be funny telling people we are just popping back to the office for the reception!

We're having our reception at The Cutlers Hotel (www.cutlershotel.co.uk) which is a two minute walk from the register office. Champagne and canapes for 40 people, followed by a hot oriental buffet with DJ, license extension, two bars and two function rooms is costing us £1100 with a complimentary bridal suite and full english brekkie thrown in!

I'd definitely recommend it, but don't know about them having room for a live band...

Geezer
02-03-2004, 15:33
Went to a wedding and reception @ Norton House Country Club this weekend, near the water tower, decent place.

About 40 for the meal and about 70-80 at night.

Hello,

I'm getting married next year, and need to book a function room for the reception.

Does anyone know of any decent pubs or clubs in Sheffield with function rooms for hire?

I'm looking for somewhere with cool/modern decor, where we can fit a band and a DJ. We do not want white table clothes and sugared almonds on the table, so the more off the wall the better.


Any advice would be really appreciated. Please save me spending my big day/night in a big bright village hall.

Cheers

The Office at Upperthorpe is free.

Decent size dance floor, free bar... You just have to provide your own food.

hello everyone

does anyone recommend anywhere for a wedding party venue (not a hotel) that can cater for about 40-50 people with some good food and good music afterwards - Must not be cheesey!
preferably indie and dance music etc. somewhere with a bit a class if possible.

thanks in advance for any advice!

Can def. recommend Wortley Hall - we got married there a year ago and it was fantastic, very laid back, let you do as you want (we had a ceildah and a bouncy castle!) As the bride and groom you get your room free to stay in. The food is good too!

Hi gswift

We can probably help you at the earl.
We've held receptions before and they've gone well.
We can do food or not - music or not - decorations or not - whatever you want.
Best to come see us so you can see what we can offer and we can see what you want, or you could call peta on 0773 292 5209.

Depends what you're looking for I guess but we have quite a large unique space, good soundsystem and an easy atmosphere - but we're not Wortly Hall posh!

Hi,

Our initial venue for my daughters christening has cancelled!!!

I am in desperate need of a venue/function room to host a small and certainly not rowdy party(!)...we were initially going to have it in a pub that doesn't usually open on Sundays...(in the afternoon)...but the pub has decided to open it's doors to the general public on the Sunday...which we didn't want - moreso as it is a christening - we didn't want loads of strangers and smoke wafting our way!

So to summarise...
WANTED IN SHEFFIELD
Sunday 2nd January between approx 2pm-6/7pm
Nice venue/function room - preferably with bar
Catering facilities would be nice (i.e somewhere to keep meat and potato pie warm!) and possibly cook mushy peas and gravy...
For about 50 people...who like a drink!
and closed to the general public!

If anyone can help/knows anywhere nice - please let me know...


MANY THANKS...

They have an upstairs room complete with dancefloor / bar and seating area.

They also have a chef if you want a buffet too mate.
Mid week shouldn't be too much of a problem for a booking mate!

Noose and Gibbett opposite the Sheffield Arena has a good function room with a DJ box / bar n stuff.
I think it's free for 100 people and a small charge for 50 people so you might be in luck.

Hi...

Just to update...the couple of venues that I have been to (and I still have to come and have a look at the Classic Rock bar at some point this week...) are not prepared to corden off an area...i.e the general public would be able to use the same area as my party.

I can't believe this...but if it was my pub...and I had the choice between chancing my business being busy or guranteeing 50 people, I know which route my business head would take!

Anyway...thanks to all for your suggestions...I am following up methodically each link! The church we are using is in Attercliffe...

If anyone still thinks of anymore...let me know!

Wishing you all a nice and stress free week before christmas!

22-12-2004, 09:45
Thanks roger! Yes, our room 2 is totally apart and can be kept private.

We are also close to town, have very good prices on drinks and catering can be available if required also for a good price. The room is still available on the 2nd January at the moment.

Try Sheffield Ski Village on 2769459. They're great for functions, and would close off the bar for you and give you a late licence.

I used to work there behind the bar and in the kitchen and had some great functions.

I think Darren is the bar manager.

Classic Rock
22-12-2004, 15:37
Late licences have to be approved in advance by the courts for one off events. As there isn't a licensing session again until well into the new year, it's not really possible for this to happen....unless they have a late licence available for every night of the year.

Help! My venue has just let me down for my wedding reception - it is not til August 05 but because this is such a popular time, everywhere i have tried so far is already booked.
I'm wanting a function room - in a pub/club/hall somewhere with reasonably priced beer (no extortionate hotel bars!) where we can take a buffet in or food can be provided!
I wouldn't have thought this was too much to ask but we are struggling!!!
Any ideas!?!

in the sheffield 6 area you could try the old Gas club at Malin bridge they have an upstairs room that is on a par with the george iv room that you had or try the stannignton community cente in the grounds of the college opposite the old pinegrove.

other places you could try the farm road sports club near to the ice skates or the companions club at firvale.

was the venue providing you a DJ, as they also get booked up at that time of year, I do know a few of them if you need one

good luck finding a room.

Are you having a church wedding? Can you hire their hall? they usually have some kitchen facilities, but you should be able to provide your own buffet. Bar equipment can be hired, and you'll just need somebody to hold the licence for the bar.

You can hire a room at both Bar Matrix and Empire bar.

There is an upstairs room at the Old Queens Head, Grapes and Three Cranes.

Dempseys Bar at foot of the Moor? Is it still called that?
Well their upstairs roomwas free last time I used it and I've been to someone elses reception there, years ago, I admit.
Cheap n cheerful back then though rumour has it that its changed a lot since I last went.

Thanks for all your help and suggestions. We finally opted for St Philips Social Club off Upper Allen Street: very friendly, helpful, a HUGE room, we can go in the day before to prepare, we can bring our own food, they have a decent bar, loads of parking, right next to Upperthorpe tram stop.... all for £50. OK so not one of the most picturesque parts of Sheffield but at that price I'm not arguing! Anyway, who cares when you're inside having the time of your life? :D

Theres a place on Ecclesall road that always seems to be doing functions.. its roughly opposite Nonnas, but I cant remember the name - but yeah it seems perfect for a smallish do. Maybe that'd be worth a gander.

Yeah, Its the polish working mens club or something!! Nice big hall- they hold northern soul nights in there so it seems about the right size!

I was trying to remember the name of that place, I'll try them in a minute, thanks.
As for what part of Sheffield, not really sure, people will be travelling from out of Sheffield mainly so they're going to have to get taxis anyway.

I'm also going to need caterer - any suggestions there? Looking for nice but cheap!!

Hi

We are getting married abroad in August and want to hire a function room for our return on August the 20th.

We would like somewhere quite "cool". Not some dingey hole or place where your Aunty would do the conga on the dance floor! But it also needs to be reasonably priced and around central Sheff or S10/11 type area.

I can't find anywhere that fits the bill!

Please help I am desperate!

Thanks!!!!!!!

Hi

I am looking to hire a function room in August for 50-80 guests. (We are getting married abroad with family there and want a reception for friends when we get back). - so not somewhere dingey or where you would take your gran. At the same time it can't be too pricey.

PLEASE HELP!!!!

(I tried to post this yesterday but I don't think it worked, if its duplicated sorry!)

What area of Sheffield are you looking to hold your function? The Ridgeway Arms has a function room upstairs which I have attended a wedding reception at, it was very nice.

There's also Spanky's which is a function room in Beighton/Sothall which is joined to a snooker club so depends on what your particularly looking for. It holds quite a large number of people, has it's own bar and a dance floor too.

Hi

Thanks for replying & your suggestions!

Ideally Sheffield 10/11 or the city centre to make it easy for everyone to get to.

There doesn't seem to be a great deal around!

Thanks again!!

I'm not sure that this would be exactly what you're looking for, but I had a party at Green's Gym (just off Ecclesall Road) for my 30th. You can hire the bar out and they clear an area for a dance floor. If you are a member, room hire is free, if you're not a member, room hire is £50 but the DJ is free if you have over 50 guests.

The food was fab and the staff were brilliant. My birthday was in July so they also opened the doors to some outside seating.

15-01-2005, 15:14
Thank you, my Mum is a member there so I will pop down and have a look.

Are last orders 11 or can you get an extension?

Thanks again!!!!

Vegasgirl
15-01-2005, 17:40
Yep, you can get a bar extension, but only until 12 midnight as it's classed as a residential area. You have to put your request in writing and give them 3 copies and then they apply for the extension to the council for you.

I would really recommend them. My party had a hawaiian theme and they were having a caribbean night the week after and had bought some decorations which they offered to put up for my party.

Thanks.

A friend & I went down yesterday to have a look at it. (How neurotic is that? - I just want to get something sorted! I am driving my other half mad). Anyway it does look good thank you so much for recommending it. I have provisionally booked us in, and will confirm once we have both seen it.

I just wondered: (I hope you don't mind me asking all these questions)

- Did it bother you with the reception not being split off. (It looked a bit open and they said they couldn't shut the lights down in the reception til 9).
- Can you get the main are (bar/dance floor bit) quite dark, it looked a bit bright.
- How many people did you invite? We are probably looking at 70/80. Do you think that is too many or few?
- Did you use their disco? Was it good?
- Any recommendations on the food etc?

I didn't think of having a theme. thats a good idea. Although with us getting married in Cyprus I don't really fancy greek theme.

I did speak to one of the managers there and he seemed really helpful & nice.

Anyway, thanks again & sorry for all the questions!

Vegasgirl
16-01-2005, 09:53
Hello again - I don't mind the questions!!!

I only had 50-60 guests and there was definitely room for more. The reception area didn't bother me at all, in fact I only realised the lights were on now that you've mentioned it. The doors are closed and your guests will be on the dance floor!

The lights were definitely dimmed over the dance floor, in fact it was quite dark and the dj had set up loads of flashing lights. I have to say that the DJ wasn't fab, but we just ended up telling him what to play. I have learnt from this experience and will be giving the DJ at my wedding a playlist!!!

With regards to food, I didn't want the 'action' to stop for a buffet, so I just had nibbles. I basically said we have £x to spend on food, can you sort something out. It really was lovely and not the normal nibbles you get. It was quite fancy!

Have you been on www.hitched.co.uk? That's a wedding website and has a fab planning forum. If you pop on, my userid is lochnessymonster.

Thank you, thats really kind.

I just had a quick look from your link and it looks good. Shame I didn't go on before! Everything is sorted & booked for ours now and I have my dress. We are bridesmaid dress shopping in a couple of weeks so except for the party thats it. The party is a last minute add on. We decided to go away just with immediate family (more intimate/costs less/less fuss/less politics/can spend more on honeymoon/holiday and less stress etc) but I later had pangs and wanted some kind of celebration with our friends & extended family. Because we are still desperately trying to save up for the holiday bit of the wedding (parents paying fo the ceremony etc) there is no way we can put on a big flash party. My less neurotic other half has just gone down to look at Greens now after too much nagging! (I hope you are calmer in planning yours!) I don't know what stage you are at with planning but we went to a couple of weddings this summer and Whirlowbrook Hall and Hassop hall are brilliant (the later is v expensive but really classy). Infact having had 3 best friends weddings here so recently I am a font of knowledge on decent people to use etc if you need any help. (Shame I am so hopeless in sorting my own!)

Thank you once again! Your help has been much appreciated!

We are getting married in June in Las Vegas - Similar reasons to yours really and having a party at The Beauchief when we get back. I've got most things sorted, just need jewellery, OH's suit and need to pick a cake (but his mum is making it). That's about it really!!!

The Market Hall in Chesterfield has a function room upstairs which is let out, and you can I believe take in your own caterers.
you could give them a ring on 01246 345345.

I know that Sheffield United Conference and Banqueting have allowed Asian weddings before as part of their on going links with the ethnic community. They allowed the use of outside caterers to use their kitchens etc providing it was left as it was found.

Give them a call on 0870 787 1960.

Upstairs in Vodka Revolution, West One complex is available to hire for private parties- they don't charge there is just the proviso that a certain amount is taken on the bar during the evening. You will have to provide a deposit which you would lose if the bar didn't take enough.

A nice venue though upstairs and very private with its own DJ, bar and dance floor!

Not sure what sort of style venue you're looking for or about the kids bit but Bar Abbey on Abbeydale Road are very accomodating for private parties. It's part of the old cinema complex.

My boyfriend and I hired Vodka Rev for our joint 21st and had a brilliant time. Staff were excellent and were very tolerant of me considering I was so hammered!

You could lie and say it's your 21st? I don't think any bars would let 17 year olds in when they know they are 17!
