The Yard Canteen And Grill - Sheffield

As it became dark and began to rain and the candles were illuminated at the tables, the yard must have looked very inviting from the outside. unfortunately the foyer side layer is cool. in the Mercure hotel, it benefits from the quality of customer service. even though there was some confusion sometimes. eating was good, menu limited and like the drinks it is hotel prices for eating.

Staying at the Hotel decided to eat there. Just booked it expecting the quality of the food to match the standard of the hotel (which was fab However, the menu I would describe as pub food I honestly thought it would be a la...Carte or of that standard. Shame really as the staff (esp the manager was fantastic). The food was average and whilst it didnt spoil our stay it certainly contributed nothing.

Took my wife for her birthday. Wished I'd looked at previous reviews first. When we arrived, first impressions were we were the only two in a 60 seater restaurant. Food arrived in 5 mins. Fish looked liked it was out of a packet. Chips were...undercooked. Steak was fatty. Staff were far too attentive. Won't be returning.

Five of us old school friends met here for only our third reunion in 45 years . The bar and waiting staff, I need to say from the outset were very friendly and well meaning if not very knowledgeable.However the meal we had was very...poor. The restaurant (named the Yard for no apparent reason) was almost empty so no excuses for the rather long waits we had for each course. The fish cake starter was quite good but the half a dozen calamari were coated in very thick batter.Having just returned from Spain, it was impossible not to compare them with the real thing. They were served in a little cutesy metal basket. Why oh why do we have to put up with this style over substance approach in this country?! The mains were the real let down. Three of us ordered Tiger prawn linguine which I could have made better myself. Too much oil, too much chilli,slimy bland prawns and a meagre portion. We asked for bread and got four flabby slices of Asda White tiger loaf! Really! nor even decent bread?! The worst was the Butterfly chicken, brought out as a starter in error and returned as a main reheated and dry with cold hard oven chips. Awful! Sadly there are too many places like this in the UK where the staff have barely an amateur grasp of what constitutes a tasty plate of food. Send your chef on a training course please! Special mention must go to Owen however who made every effort to give us a good experience.Thanks Owen.
