Any ideas? Need somewhere to meet a friend one evening that's really easy for directions (and pretty close to the M1) and does good food.

Thought of Tankersley Manor but the food's a bit chain-y.

Anyone know of somewhere smaller, not smoky, that does proper home-cooked food?

search bbc sheffield website for sillymoo, it gives feedback on tons of food places.

The Miners Arms on Warren Lane is a lovely little pub with excellent food. Easy access off Sheffield Road or Junction 35a

Norfolk Arms in Chapeltown, on the corner of Warren Lane and White Lane does lovely food.

Very close to M1 too.

Thanks everyone for all your suggestions. Can't someone just say 'Right, this one is BEST!" ? I'm spoilt for choice, somewhat.

Good position to be in, tho. Appreciate the input from fellow forumers!
