The old Moorlands at Owler Bar do a lovely carvery on a Sunday :)

Thanks for that,anybody else

Tony

The Black Bull in ecclesfield is a place to give a very WIDE berth mate.

trust me, i know the owner

Couple of places ..... dependant on where you can travel.

The Toby Cavery in Beauchief
The Monks Bridge Farm near Dinnington

Both ok and of course do carvery all the time and not just on Sundays:)

angel at eckington is very nice.
star at tideswell

Anymore, I will get my friend TOM TOM to guide me

don't the rising sun on fulwood road do one?

Out of interest what is the attraction of carvery?

Not to put them all in same category but veg is overdone and sat for hrs as is the meat. Surely fresh cooked and ordered is far better?

try the conyers at conisborough 5 mile from doncaster,
car park is heaving at dinnertime that speaks volumes.

Castle Inn at Bradway or Cricket Inn at Totley.

If you're towards the North of Sheffield you could head out to the Button Mill at Worsbrough or the Horseshoe at Harley (just over the hill from Chapeltown).

For value for money, beautifully cooked meat, large portions and a real country pub feel, I'm hard pressed to find a better place for a Sunday Roast than the Sportsman at Lodge Moor.

Their Sunday carvery is a sell out week after week. You either get there early or book in advance. It's worth it. You can always settle for hot roast sandwiches if you can't manage a full dinner.

Drinkwise, there's Taylor Landlord served as it should be and on my last visit it was supplemented with cask Tetley and Greene King IPA. Even their keg Magnet is a decent drink.

It's a small pub which fills quickly. If you can't make a weekend, go midweek and enjoy huge portions of food (albeit not the carvery) and excellent ale.

Never been but was told the Admiral Rodney at Stannington was good

Definately the Bowshaw @ Dronfield

I'd recommend the Toby Inn and Parkhead (S11) Great food, good service and a nice setting. It's either £6.50 or £8.00 on a Sunday.

Parkhead

345 Ecclesall Road South
GB - Sheffield S11 9PW
Tel: 0114 236 2735

try the rivelin its not carvery but you wont get a fresher sunday lunch all fresh veg, home made yorkshire pudds. they sell out early your better off booking 2333247 you will not be dissapointed

I had Sunday lunch at the milestone last week, best sunday dinner i've ever had, everything about it was spot on, it was £9 which is a few quid more than a lot of places but it was superb and totally worth it, I'll be back there very soon... and no i don't work there...

Thanks everybody for your input

I will re-post after the event

Well Guys and Gals

We finally finished up at the Button Mill.

My verdict:

When we went in there was nobody who seemed to know what was happening apart from, a small blonde haired waitress and a bloke in a shirt and tie.

I asked can we have a table for two, I was told get your drinks and we will find you :loopy:

So I purchased a bottle of wine.

So while we are stood at the bar, and despite there being several tables, we were offered a table for four right next to the carvery, I said no can we sit over there (table for two)and she said yes.

So we went and sat down and waited and waited then she arrived with the menu, we both ordered salmon, we waited and waited and waited then when it arrived, she was carrying both plates with a grubby teatowel and explained that the plates were hot, said nothing else then left.

So while we are sat there, with two pieces of salmon about 5" x 2" x 1" thick
(get a tape measure and check this):loopy:

I picked up my plate that was warm and went over to the carvery.

The following were on offer:-

Sprouts:- as big as malteasers
Carrots:- long and stringy
Cabbage:-tired,limp and had seen better days
Roast potatoes:- some good, most bad and burnt

There was no-one serving at the carvery table it was a free for all.

We were then offered a selection of sweets.

I had apple pie, my partner had sticky toffee pudding

Then two coffee's

The bill £29.85

For several reasons I will not be going back

Price is not one of them, I will leave to draw your own conclusions.

This would not have happened if you'd gone to the Sportsman at Hallam!

The good news is, the only way is up from here!!

The Stag on Psalter Lane or the Milestone. Neither are Carvery's but both very good Sunday lunches. The Milestone is not so good if your veggie or want something other than a roast (limited sunday menu) but the roast is always very good. The Stag has a great selection of other things and is cheaper and the roast is also excellent. Only thing I don't like about it are are the amount of people who go there with babies and very small children.

Whilst you're in that region, neeeeeeeeeeeek (I haven't counted the e's) the Psalter Tavern further along Psalter Lane has never disappointed when it comes to excellent food and - that rare thing - value for money.

The food is also served quite quickly so is ideal if you're in a hurry.

Their burgers with curly fries are fantastic. Decent range of ales too (Abbeydale Brewery IIRC).

How disappointing for you. I can highly recommend the Rivelin - not a carvery - just great homemade food. If you like yorkshire puddings this place is a must !!! On a good day you can sit outside (great view) and have a drink while you wait.

Rising Sun Fullood
only place to go for value and quality
happy eating

I enjoyed food at the angel at eckington

Bohans Irish Kitchen (the deli on London Road) are taking over the kitchen at The Harley on Glossop Road from March, so that's gonna be one of the best Sunday dinners in Sheffield.

Cubley Hall out Stocksbridge/Penistone way used to be really nice but not been for a while though. You didn't have to have the carvery meats and could order other things and then just have veggies from the carvery. I had wild boar last time but we are talking a year ago.
