About The Old Grindstone

On Crookes in Sheffield, The Old Grindstone is a pub with a pool table and TV areas alongside quieter Chesterfield seating for those wanting less noise. The kitchen runs pub classics and smokehouse plates, including smoked chicken and ribs with a noticeable smoke taste, plus vegan options such as sausage and mash with two bangers and gravy. Darkwoods coffee is served with a vegan milk option. The beer and lager selection is decent, covering a broad range of styles. Separate karaoke rooms are available for hire, giving groups a spacious space for private celebrations such as birthday parties. Dogs are welcome throughout.

Customer Review Summary

Karaoke rooms draw repeated praise, with reviewers calling the hire "easy to use", "spacious" and good value, and several saying they'd book one again. Close behind, the smokehouse food gets singled out, with the ribs' smoke flavor and the vegan sausage and mash (two bangers and gravy with gravy) both mentioned favorably, alongside the beer selection and a Friday night atmosphere reviewers describe as great. A few also flag vegan and alcohol-free options, including mocktails and darkwoods coffee, plus student night offers. Set against this, one reviewer describes a sharp decline, calling the pork tacos rubbery and overcooked and the slow-cooked beef too tough to pull apart on a fork, with the meal served cold, a contrast to the "good portions, good value" others report. Celebrations, including a birthday, are recalled as brilliant for food, service and atmosphere.

    “The foods terrible now literally inedible the pork tacos were so over cooked it was like eating rubbers, don’t know how you get chunks from pulled pork. The beef is supposed to be 21 hours cooked low and slow but I can hold it on a fork without it pulling apart, I’d have an easier time chewing through a table leg, not to mention everything was cold , A year ago it used to be good but it’s fallen off now.”
