Serving breakfasts and traditional pub classics they make a point of welcoming children.

The Ridgeway Arms is another family friendly pub which serves food. Alongside their traditional pub food, they have mixed things up a bit by adding their 'food challenges' to the menu. Perfect if you're into 'Man V Food'!

On a different vibe, Mosborough Hall is ideal if you fancy eating somewhere a bit special. Originally a 12th century manor house and now a hotel, Mosborough Hall offers home cooked cuisine in Darcy's Brasserie for lunch and dinner, and afternoon tea in Darcy's Bar.

Damon's is a bit of a Sheffield institution, and most people who grew up in Sheffield would have at some point had a birthday here. If you bring along some form of I.D the birthday person receives their meal for free! It has everything you would expect from an American Diner.
