    Anyone recommend a nice place to eat. Our regular for Indian is the shapla or Aagrah in Sheffield. Quick meal it's the Elmwood farm or red lion at todwick.. Chinese we always eat at home cos the Mrs is a bit funny

    I was going to book the Venus at dinnington though it's a 4 course on Saturdays

    Anyone with a recommendation?

    Btw doesn't have to be local.
    Sheff/chesterfield/Barnsley/Donny/
    Clayton if your good lady likes Italian I can highly recommend Elupos on Effingham Street.

    Attentive service, great food menu and plenty of choice of drinks. Reasonably priced as well.

    Been going there for more than 25 years now. Simply cannot knock it.

    just returned from brins restaurant tip.. booked late (thursday) and all they had was a table for two (perfect) though we had to be done for 8pm which was ok..
    nice looking restaurant.. very friendly staff, leather cream seating with white table clothes.. views through to the kitchen where meals were being prepared. drink selection was ok though larger was peroni or a Italian brew ive never heard of so stuck to the peroni
    plenty of choice for starters and main meal. when its just me n the mrs we order what we fancy and put it in the middle of the table n share
    we had spicy meatballs with tomato sauce, garlic bread with cheese and buffalo mozzarella, tomato n rocket with balsamic vinegar/olive oil dressing for starters.
    main was ham n mushroom pizza, fries, chicken in white wine sauce with blue Stilton, roasted veg (beans,carrots, spuds)
    desert was crepe filled with vanilla ice cream, choc sauce and cream, and a banana split..

    really enjoyed the meal as its different to what we normally try.
    spicy meatballs were delicious. chicken with Stilton n wine sauce was also wow as was the banana split.
    everything else was nice. only negative was the crepe, pre cooked and served cold. was a bit rubbery and being filled with icecream it would have been nice to have it warm....
    3 pints, 2 soft drinks plus food above £75 solid 7.5/10

    Cayton glad your good lady and yourself found it to your liking. Drinks.... have they taken the boddington off?
    Always found their menu palatable and reasonably priced. As for the crepe, surprised it was served cold? Personally I would have sent it back which is something that Stephan or Nino would have dealt with swiftly as they pride themselves on a great customer service.

    Need to book in soon myself for a family birthday celebration that's pending.

    7.5/10 is a good score to give considering the crepe mishap. Glad you enjoyed it.
