About The Sheaf Island
The Sheaf Island is a Wetherspoons pub in Sheffield, on Ecclesall Rd, with large windows and brewing memorabilia on display. It opens in the morning for breakfast, with the Traditional Breakfast and pancakes with bacon on the menu, and hot drinks are unlimited. Curry Club and Steak Club set meals each come with a choice of a soft or an alcoholic drink, so one order covers both the main and the glass. The full menu runs to 56 dishes and also lists scampi and fresh-made pizza. The bar pours Guinness and cask ale. Orders are placed at the bar, or through the app.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often praise cheap food and drink, with a fresh-made pizza and a pint singled out as great value, plus a decent pint of Guinness and a cask ale described as well kept and about as cheap as any. Breakfast comes close behind, where one diner enjoyed pancakes with bacon and unlimited hot drinks, and several mention quick ordering, swift service, a bright airy room and plenty of seating inside and out. Service draws a split verdict. One reviewer says a bar worker looked after their group and remembered their orders each time, while another found a server miserable. A third left without buying a drink after a staff member told queuing customers they were not behaving like normal people. Another reviewer reports an app order that never arrived until they chased it at the bar, with staff carrying out one drink at a time and leaving used glasses and plates on the table. One diner also found the portions small, receiving only four scampi pieces.

“Lovely modern Spoons, well situated. Nice outdoor seating on the front and air-conditioning inside. Great value and very decent food offerings (you'll get a fresh-made pizza and a pint for the cost of a McDonald's burger and chips). Don't listen to the snobs, there's nowt wrong with a good spoons.”

“I have just walked out of this bar without buying a drink due to an absolutely appalling incident with a member of staff. Due to there being one person serving on a busy hot day a queue had formed naturally so everyone got served in order. A short black haired male member of staff pushed passed us and in a loud voice demanded we queue at the bar “like normal people “ while we were all speaking to one another trying to work out why a member of staff had just insulted us he returned and once again spoke to us as if were idiots , again accusing us of being abnormal, I was too angry to stay in the building and won’t be returning”

“The bar service is awful, takes so long. So decided to use the app, its taken over 40mins and had to go to the bar to chase it up. Staff coming out with 1 drink in hand at a time, instead of being more efficient and bringing multiple out. On top of that they don't clear any of the glasses/plates when they have just delivered the drinks.”
