Sorry for any forum etiquette faux pas if I've done one, but I read Pistonheads a lot more than I post here.
Christmas is looming and I need to organise a good meal out for ten near Sheffield, English style food, not too budget but not too pricey either. £10-15 main meal methinks, and I have no idea where to go.
I know a busy forum who generally knows about such things, even if I risk looking like a tool posting this question there/here.
Any Sheffield Pistonheaders willing to help me please biggrin

Why is it that I can think of tons of Restraunts in Sheffield, yet none of them are English food! Only place I can think of would be a Weatherspoons!

The Cross Scythes at Totley has recently won a national award for its food:

I've not eaten there myself yet but I have heard good things about it.

What about that place that was on Ramsey recently? Looked very appealing to me and a good take on English cuisine.

Milestone it's called.

HTH & please let us know if you go.

Probably my favourite Sheffield restaurant – last time we went it cost over £50 a head once we'd raided the fabulous wine list!

bookings are up 80% since being on Ramsey's so I think you'll struggle. The o/h has been to Christians a couple of times and said its brilliant

Milestone is good but as said above very busy.

'Taste' is quite good, either the one at Broomhill or at Cross Pool. Really good atmosphere as well. The one at Cross Pool is a tad quieter might be your best bet.

Up-market.....Rafters is excellent, at Hangingwater traffic lights.

Milestone is very nice....a gastropub is how they refer to themselves I think. However my misses tried to book a table recently for 12 and they said they didn't take bookings for over 6 (i think) at weekends.
Christians is also very nice, but I reckon you'll be at the top end of your price list going there.

As others have said, it's difficult thinking of somewhere good that's "English"...Italian, Tapas, Indian are all easy. However, I've not been myself recently but I've heard a lot of people rave about the food at Napoleons on Eccy Road. I think they do a set menu which is very reasonably priced and if you're going in the week, they throw in a free 10 quid bet too (so I've been told)

Oh and the place he went to a couple of years ago was Silversmiths, formerly known at Runaway Girl.
