The carvery is undoubtedly the star here; the four choices of roast meats and copious vegetables leave diners spoilt for choice. Diners often rave about the Yorkshire Pudding Wrap, a unique twist that offers a delightful combination of flavors.
The atmosphere draws praise for its casual and friendly vibe, serving as a great backdrop for conversations and laughter. Many love the outdoor seating area as it extends into a lovely garden, perfect for sunny days.
The welcoming staff, particularly Elliott and Toby, receive commendations for their attentive service, ensuring that every visit feels special and catered to. Guests appreciate the value for money, especially given the generous portion sizes.
Most Disliked
Occasionally, guests find the dining space quite busy, especially on Sundays at peak times, which might lead to longer waits for food and service. Some visitors recommend booking ahead to secure a table, as walk-ins may experience delays during busier hours.
While the letting rooms promise a comfortable stay, their refurbishment has temporarily limited options for overnight guests, which can be disappointing for travelers planning to indulge in a local meal before resting.
Lastly, a few diners have suggested that certain dishes could benefit from additional seasoning or personal customization. While the standard menu excels, the need for more flavor in some plates has been noted, although this varies from visit to visit.

Great little place with a very popular carvery.. easy to see why the taste and presentation is fantastic. Brought back memories of going to Grandma's for a Sunday roast when we were kids Elliott was a great host and the staff are polite and welcoming New outside bar / seating is another little gem which overflows into the garden area, ideal for family gatherings On the whole a very enjoyable visit and the food is Definitely worth a little detour if visiting the area. The letting Rooms are not currently in use and are going to being refurbished shortly so best to check availability with site when works are completed.

Had an excellent Sunday carvery, one of the best ever .4 choices of roast meats and 4 other dishes with copious variety of vegetables. You can sample all the choices . Everything was cooked to perfection.Second helpings available but I couldn't eat any more. Staff were friendly and efficient Advise booking . Great to see the "Shef" thriving again . Was happy to see the WW1 photo of the men going to war (including my great grandad) is still on show 👍

We stayed at acorn Woods small caravan site. Wonderful place and they recommended The Sheffield Arms...what a wonderful find. All you can eat carvery and if you're not quite full you can re fill. They do a lovely breakfast too and other meals. Superb and the staff are friendly and welcoming. Definitely worth a visit.

Went for a meal last night, first time been in since 2015. Steak and ale pie peas and chips, credit to the chef. Lovely ambience within, pure country pub, very relaxing and friendly people around. Prices are very reasonable, absolute value for money. The staff go above and beyond to ensure you have everything you need, always smiling and at hand if you require their service. We’re at a campsite on Darby road, and use regularly, now we will be using Sheffield arms even more on our camping trips. 100% going more often for our meals .
