"After the refurbishment I 'm a bit disappointed with the place. It reminds me utterly of a wetherspoons, the country pub charm completely wiped out. It 's a shame as it use to be a pub with a bit of character. The landlord (not to be confused with the manager) is very rude. Him and his mates are very rowdy, takes away from the family feel. We were disappointed to be shouted at across the Pub when we brought our dog in, very rude the way we were spoke too. We live 30 minutes away and had come to see friends. We were shouted at that there 's a sign above the door. High up on the beams several feet too high for an average size person to naturally see. Forced to sit in a cold small room completely isolated from every other person in the pub. Valued this pub on it 's family and dog friendly atmosphere. I wouldn 't say this pub is dog friendly. I would say it 's token gesture , can 't even get into the bar area with a dog. I wouldn 't choose to come back after the refurbishment. With the basic Wetherspoon look and the lack of dog friendly bar space this pub doesn 't stand out from any other. I 'll stay closer to home where 4 legged family are better off and the atmosphere is more lifted."

We ordered beef burgers that were overcooked and dry. The staff was friendly and the decor was nice. Unfortunately, we will not be coming back.

called in for lunch and was greeted by very friendly staff despite being a little late. The food was nourishing, tasty and plentiful and piping hot and the choice was very good.

Saturday night, Sunday lunch, mid week lunch or teatime. The Blue Ball has it all, a lovely friendly atmosphere and great food at a reasonable price! Saturday night is always a good night out with live entertainment, dancing and free buffet, what more can you want!

After a long walk, we decided to stop by this restaurant. The variety of beers available was not very impressive. There was nothing particularly bad about it, but nothing really exceptional either. While it may be considered a good pub in other cities, compared to the incredible pubs in Sheffield, it falls short.

Had a meal out at short notice after kids stayed at friends. Hadn't been for a while but pub has had a refit and really nice interior. Staff were very welcoming. Both had pie, chips and peas and it was delicious. Good quality meat and homemade crust. For £8.95 each, it was a bargain. Would highly recommend it. Couldn't stay for the entertainment but was available if you had time.

Called in with a group of friends. After ordering drinks I ordered fried fillet of codwith chips and mushy peas, I declined the offered bread and butter. The portion size was ok for me, not to big or to small. The fish was very tasty with excellent batter, nice and crispy. Chips were very nice albeit slightly sell done, not a problem fo me, good mushy peas, very nice meal all round.

Visited pub Thursday evening about 7.30pm. Place looked newly refurbished and clean Fairly quiet Pleasant young girl took our order .meat and potatoe pie. Rodeo burger. Arrived in reasonable time. Both meals very nice particularly the meat and potato pie which was delicious. Dining experience somewhat spoiled by a foul mouthed gentleman shouting accross the room. Surprised to see that this was a staff member! Shame, the meal deserved a higher rating.

We visited The Blue Ball for a 3 course Christmas dinner on Thursday. I can’t recommend this place highly enough. We’ve eaten here before and the food is always excellent. We were given a warm welcome and served quickly and efficiently. The food was fresh, tasty, hot and plentiful! All three courses were delicious and included coffee and a mince pie to finish. What a great start to Christmas! I can also recommend a great Saturday night out with live entertainment, a free buffet and the chance to win a significant amount of cash with the golden cap!

We recently returned to this pub after a few years due to some previous mediocre experiences. We were pleasantly surprised by the improvements that had been made. The pub had new furnishings, updated decor, and a new menu. My wife and I tried the 2 for £10 menu and found the portions to be satisfying and the food was cooked beautifully (with real mashed potatoes). There is a wide selection of beers and spirits available in a clean environment. I recommend rediscovering this pub for those who have not visited in a while, as it deserves more business. We will definitely be returning!

"I was well impressed with this restaurant. I usually eat at F&B..and I really quick understand the differences between food and taste, between restaurants. I know also what is the standard for F&B. Bad service you keep to remember and will not make you a returning customer. This is the only restaurant in a 100 miles radius I never complained or my food was never raw. I also appreciated on my last visit a lady who was cleaning she looked more from management as she didn’t had an uniform, setting a good example in cleaning for her employees and customers by cleaning tables very thoroughly, all the spots covered. Well impressed by that especially as I work with Covid patients and I know how important is to be infectious free. The separation areas they build are important as well. The lady who was cleaning I didn’t manage to see her badge as she is a fast walker but she had a colourful mask , the only one who was actually wearing one and yes I know you can choose if you want to wear them but still for me was important as she was trying to protect others in a close environment with covid roaming around everywhere. I held myself for over 2 weeks to write this review as I was to busy but like I said I will be a returning customer.Kudos to her ! Kudos to all managers who are setting the bar high and lead by example! I eat here roughly every 2 weeks and I’m always very well treated. My favourite restaurant, if 10 stars were to be available, 10 stars from me! From the 3 restaurants that Sheffield has, this is by far the best one! Keep it up, guys!"
