About Six and a half
Six and a half is a restaurant in Sheffield built around a sharing plates format, with dishes brought out for the table rather than served as individual courses. Seating looks onto the kitchen, so guests can watch the cooking as it happens, and the team explains each dish tableside as it arrives. The menu runs to 27 dishes, with squash among them, and a wine list runs alongside the food. The entrance is step-free, which helps visitors with mobility needs, and outdoor seating extends the dining space beyond the main room. Dogs are welcome on site. The restaurant opens Wednesday to Sunday and closes on Mondays and Tuesdays, and reservations are recommended given the table-side format.

Customer Review Summary
Sharing plates draw the most consistent praise, with reviewers repeatedly singling out the parmesan tart, beef rib, mutton, and cheesecake dessert, alongside standout mentions of the squash dish, lamb chops, and Teriyaki chicken skewers. Close behind, diners describe a well-chosen wine list, including a notable Albariño, and puddings praised down to a savoury black pudding variation. The open kitchen and fireside seating come up often, with guests enjoying watching the chef at work, and several describe staff as attentive and accommodating, including birthday touches like a table card and flexibility for a pram booking. The only recurring gripes are minor: one reviewer wished the background music suited their taste better and noted wine was left without a cooler to stay chilled. Reviewers describe returning or planning to return, with one detailing a bill of £171 including tip they felt was well deserved.

“Me and my girlfriend came here Friday evening and after trying pretty much everywhere can honestly say this is comfortably the best dining experience in Sheffield and by some margin. The food, service and the atmosphere is outstanding and we will definitely be returning in the near future.”

“Went last night, Thursday 21st. The staff were so lovely and accommodating. We had great fun, drinks beforehand,, really good value interesting wine list. The main event, the food , fantastic. Sharing plates full of flavours and interest. Great texture, puddings to die for with a nice savoury cheesy black pudding that I really loved.”
- Zane Cassells
“Excellent experience from start to finish. The staff were friendly, attentive, and made us feel really well looked after. The food was outstanding—attention to detail beautifully presented, made with top-quality ingredients, and absolutely delicious. Would definitely recommend and will be returning.”

“What a great place and the best meal I've had in Sheffield by a distance. Great atmosphere (somehow the Ibizan beats didn't overwhelm conversation) and great service. The food was excellent, especially the parmesan tart and beef rib, accompanied by a rather special Albariño. Sharrow Vale Road is now a bit of a good food enclave and this place is at the top of the pile, strongly recommended.”
- Lawson Smith
“We tried 6½ for the first time and, from the website and reviews, expected a nice meal. We weren’t prepared for such an amazing experience. The food is true fine dining – with some highly original and absolutely …”
