I came to eat here last week with my boyfriend and his family. I was especially looking forward to…read morecoming here as it had won Restaurant of the Year 2011 by Eat Sheffield! The drive to the restaurant was lovely and scenic, going down dark and winding country roads until suddenly we drive around a corner and The Devonshire Arms appeared! We'd got there a little early and we sat down by the bar for some drinks. The menu was displayed on a chalkboard by the seating area and it all looked yummy! The dining area was quite small but very nice and cosy. The kitchen was open and you could see the chefs chopping and cooking away which I quite liked. I chose the rabbit and pheasant terrine with grape chutney as my starter; it came with onion bread and the slice of terrine was huge! I really wanted to finish it, but I couldn't as there was no way I'd be have enough room for my main! For the main, I had venison steak served with new potatoes (usually served with mash which I couldn't have as it had milk/cream in it) and braised red cabbage. The steak was pink and cooked to perfection and the red cabbage was sweet but with a little tart edge to it. I didn't have a dessert but the rest of the party did - my boyfriend had a deconstructed banana cheesecake and his sister had a brownie (I overheard her saying it was the best brownie she'd ever tasted!). All of the staff were really nice, especially the lady who served us that night, she was really lovely and very attentive. The Devonshire Arms fully deserves it's awards and hope it gets more in the future. If you're ever around the Sheffield area and want to venture out of the city centre for some food make sure you come here. I couldn't have asked for a more perfect meal.

The Sunday lunch menu was both flavoursome and excellent value for money. The portion sizes are just right. The starter was not too small, nor too big. The mains were simply perfect. Tender roast beef with all the trimmings. Will definitely be back and would recommend it without any hesitation to others!

I went to DN One the other day to take my mother because she had a voucher for it, letting us have…read morebuy-one-get-one-free meals and two hot drinks (one each). As I walk past this restaurant every time I am in the town centre, I thought I'd give it a try. We carried the pushchair up the steps (there was no ramp and the porters inside did not offer to help) and it was deserted. A man appeared from the woodworks and showed us into a deserted restaurant area that looked like it had been decorated in the 80's. We sat on some uncomfortable couches, as we had a baby and no high chair. We were handed menus, and the man disappeared again. (Might I re-itterate that there was nothing other to be done as I found him sat with the receptionist having a chat). The meals themselves were expensive (£5.95 for a small 'starter like' portion) and the man who I assumed worked there but he didn't introduce himself as all waiters are trained to do in high-end restaurants. It took 30-40 minutes of entertaining the baby before the meals came. The waiter handed me the plate (?) and I took my mother's too as she was holding the baby who was crying and trying to play with the ornamental teapots on the windowsill. The meals were fine, except there was a lot of fat in my gammon. I had to scout around the lobby area (as it is part of Danum hotel) for the man to ask for our hot drinks. He gave us a pot of tea (strong-brew, it had four tea bags in and it was only around the size of two fists) and two tea cups, then disappeared again. I found him in the lobby again to ask for sugar and he seemed annoyed, went to the tea station next to the kitchen and roughly pulled out a drawer to find a bowl of sugar sachets, uttering the most sarcastic apology I have ever heard. The milk was room-temperature, and as I said before, the tea was strong-brew. As for paying, I could not find the waiter, just an impossibly ruder man that snatched my voucher and card from me and stomped into the restaurant to the computer to put the payment through. A very poor experience, I'd had high hopes from such a prestigious hotel.

Was it worth the 3 hour journey from London (2-hr train ride, 1-hr by car) to make our reservation from 6-months earlier? Absolutely. Courses are small, but plenty. Staff are immensely courteous and thoughtful (they made a custom menu for our dietary needs and even had the chefs sign it before we left). And the setting couldn't be more idyllic. I'd suggest getting the wine pairing as it really completes the meal. Go ahead and stay the night as breakfast is included the next day. Just make sure to work out your travel from the train station to the restaurant. It really is out in the sticks.

An absolutely fantastic experience enhanced by the charming and beautiful countryside that The…read moreBlack Swan at Oldstead is nestled within - an area that I wouldn't have visited otherwise but am grateful for having done so. Make sure to make a small detour to Kilburn to see The Kilburn White Horse which stands firmly in the hillside. The Black Swan is a beautiful picturesque old pub full of warmth and charm. Upon arrival you are welcomed into the bar area for aperitifs where a log fire crackles and glows. Make sure to notice the Robert Thompson mouse carved into the bar. Great selection of small batch gins - I enjoyed a glass of Sir Robin of Locksley from Sheffield with tonic. Amuse bouche are served here before moving upstairs to the restaurant. The Smoked Eel and Apple Tartlets were light and well balanced in their flavours whilst the Chicken Dumpling was rich, satisfying and would sit well on the finest of dim sum plates in Hong Kong. The restaurant is more modern in decoration with an "open kitchen" where some of the dishes are prepared with a clear artistic love and attention to detail. Service is friendly, knowledgeable and attentive without being intrusive. Good selection of wines for most palates and wallets. I had the 10 course tasting menu which, at £85, felt like a bargain compared to the price of Michelin starred food in major cities. To start, a Mussel with Oyster Leaf canapé - so perfectly decorated that it felt wrong to eat it, but so tasty. Next up Langoustine with Caramelised Whey, served like a lollipop with a twig to hold it with - lovely textures and cooked to perfection. Venison Tartare followed - a small dish but rich in flavour and beautifully prepared and decorated. Sour Bread and Sour Butter was distinctive and a good filler in preparation for the main courses. The Monkfish with Asparagus and Onion, although delicious, was probably the weakest dish. The sauce tasted like heavy sweet soy sauce and was a bit overpowering in its saltiness for the delicate flavour of the fish. Still very enjoyable though. The Slowly Cooked Crapaudine Beetroot was the star of the menu. Cooked in beef fat (I believe), the beetroot takes on a heavier composition and is chewy and almost glutinous with all of the accompanying decorations providing broad and bold flavours. Absolutely fantastic! Scallop Cured with Rhubarb was another standout with the smoothness of the slightly charred scallops countering the tartness of the rhubarb, all tied together with a rich and balanced sauce. Herb-Fed Chicken with Wild Garlic from this Year and Last was another amazing creation with a blanket over the chicken in the form of a garlic leaf. The chicken was more warm than hot but extremely tasty. The first dessert was ice cream (or iced yoghurt?) Lollipops which were wonderfully innovative with their unique flavours. The Sheep's Milk with Douglas Fir Oil was also an memorable dessert with natural tastes of the season. The final dessert, served with coffee was Cake made from Artichoke, Chicory Root and Thyme. The combination worked well although the chicory root (?) was slightly bitter. A great end to a fantastic meal and experience. For most who visit The Black Swan at Oldstead, a significant journey will be involved but don't let that put you off...It's well worth the effort and will be one of those great food experiences.

We got a voucher from the hostess and were able to park for free in the lot directly in front of the restaurant. We can back on a Saturday evening and the place was PACKED. Good thing our friends made a reservation or else we would have waited for at least one hour. The front of the restaurant has a lounge feel with some low seating and then there are a bunch of tables and booths in the main part of the restaurant. Our service was better when the place was packed, but that's a common experience I've had. I will definitely be back here in the future. Definitely a yummy lunch/dinner option in town.

I do love a good Relish night. The main point of this review to take away, is I can safely say that…read morein my opinion, Relish do the best burgers I have ever tasted - Handmade Burger Co. and Gourmet Burger pale in comparison! The staff at Relish are generally great people, especially the bartenders... only the glass collectors seem sullen and sulky doing their job but I can't really blame them. The place is always spotlessly clean, well-decorated and the chalkboards above the bar are a definite to-see! Personally, I go to Relish to watch live bands - a band plays every Thursday night (my biased favourite being Blues Armada who I have guested for at this very place). They don't take up too much space, and it's more ambient jazz/ blues than thrash punk but it can get a little loud (the bingo players upstairs like to complain a lot, haha). The only bad thing I can say about Relish is that it has no independent parking - only the East Laith Gate NCP parking. TIP - if you go into Relish and tell them you've parked in the NCP, they should give you a ticket that lets you park for a reduced rate. This used to be £2 all evening but I'm not sure of the rate at the moment. Great food, great-priced drinks, great venue!

When we come from the States and meet up with friends there and always have a great time. The bar staff is really nice, the place has a great layout. You have two areas inside to choose from and a large patio outside. Yes, the patio is in the car park essentially, but they have made a definite break between the car park and the patio with nice landscaping and even in ground lighting. The best night? Monday! Quiz night is a TON of fun here. Even though I know very few of the answers (I blame being American), I still have a great time. I've promised to do the quiz/be the quizmaster. The WiFi is the fastest around, and we're always looking for somewhere to use our American smartphones for free. The only thing I would definitely skip is the food.

It's not obvious to newcomers that there is also a bar downstairs, where the stage is for local acts and the toilets. Avoid the toilets if you can, as you can smell them from 10m+ away (my friend Loz was so disgusted by the smell that he got a can of air freshener from the bar, and he was stood in the crowd at the opposite side of the room!) Back upstairs, there is a dj booth and pool table. Vintage is the only place (probably) where you'll find Pink Floyd graffiti in the womens' toilet!
