A short distance from the National Centre for Popular Music, and the Showroom cinema, this traditional pub needs no themes or gimmicks but is a popular meeting-place for convivial drinks and conversation. A light and airy conservatory area (decorated with nineteenth-century handbills from Sheffield theaters) has recently been added to an already spacious interior, so it is usually possible to find seats to chat with friends in comfort. Bar meals are available at lunchtime.

The Wick at Both Ends pub has charm and originality, with an antique looking bar, quirky lighting, and a nice menu of beer, wine, and cocktails. Besides the drinks, the best reason to come to this pub is the local cuisine of pub food classics, like creamed mushroom, lamb shakes, and Sunday roasts.

Serving a classic British fare, The Milestone is a popular dining spot in the city where guests can relax and have a whale of a time. It is tucked away amid old factories. The dining spot has a rich and upscale decor with lots of wooden features. The food is classic British like Pork tenderloin, Venison Burger and Gressingham Duck. Beer goes well with the food.

The standard of both food and service in Rossi's is very high, but its most unusual feature is that it is housed in a former bank. This creates a great feeling of space - and eating between marble pillars certainly adds something special to the evening. You can choose from the usual range of pasta and pizzas and even this section of the menu makes you feel that what you are getting is the real thing. At the more expensive end of the menu, expect some interesting options, such as a casserole of fish and vegetables with saffron rice - a dish for two people to share. Service is excellent, and as street parking is available outside, the doorman will even keep an eye on your car while you eat.

This country pub named after a local hero, George Brydges Rodney, who defeated both French and Spanish ship fleets in the 18th Century, is spacious and exudes rustic charm. The seasonal pub fare here is unerringly British, and the cask ales and wine available rounds out the homey atmosphere.
