Worth a mention !

Went to the Phoenix on Friday evening for a meal. Really busy ! Very courteous and helpful staff. Only had to wait 30 mins for meals arriving ( 7 of us )
Pity the weather wasn't ideal for sitting out on the verandah at the rear and enjoying that lovely view. Very extensive menu.

Give it a try !

Not eaten there myself. Preferred how it was years ago when it was a 2 room local serving Ward's real ales, with stone flags on the floor and local blokes playing dominoes and smoking.

Phoenix was the first "no smoking" pub in the whole of the Sheffield area if I'm not mistaken? They were pioneers at the time but I bet they never thought the rest of the country would follow them.

Nice Pub
They kept the old low beam. I was the Cellarman there when it was
converted. When Pete and Jean Had it.

You might remember me then, I used to come in on Sunday lunchtime after playing footy and drink half a bitter?

We had a meal at the Phoenix on Monday and to be honest I thought it was mediocre. We had a much better meal tonight at the Arena Square.

What are the prices like there for food? Reasonable?

Used to go to The Phoenix most saturdays with a few friends for lunch. Never had a bad meal there and was always a very nice place to go when the weather was nice. Not been for a while though so could have changed, good pubs that do decent food seem to be getting less and less.

We actually ended up going tonight and it was very nice. I'm in love with the chocolate cheesecake. Nice place, good food and reasonably priced. Would go again.

we used to walk there from Gleadless (when Gleadless was a nice place to live), so we made a point of stopping to eat there when we were househunting and returning to sheffield. It was overpriced, overcooked microwaved mush!

I'm glad it seems to have recovered from that phase

do they allow dogs?
