Came for a few drinks after being to Graves Park. It's like being in a nursery with the amount of games scattered round the pub. Getting served was a nightmare, one member of staff on, then a woman came behind the bar and served a family and stood chatting to them while others were still waiting to be served. Her face looked so angry at having to help the man that never stopped smiling.
If you want overpriced drinks served by a misery in a children's play area you will enjoy it here.

We went to the pub and ordered steak and ale pie and fish and chips. The fish and chips were absolutely divine, the batter was really crispy and the fish melted in my mouth. The steak and ale pie was full of meat and the mashed potatoes were really buttery. Proper home cooked food. Definitely on the go back to list.

I have been in the Church House loads of times and I have never experienced any problems with anyone. It's a user friendly pub. Good mixture of age groups in there. Great live music. Had coffee and cakes in there, but no other food. Staff are fab. It's my favourite pub. :)

Captain Angelo is legendary behind the bar.

Didn't like it. Too many girls, not enough boys. Disappointing.

I was surprised & disappointed to receive a parking fine following a visit to Bowshaw Inn. Have been coming here for years with no parking enforcement. Staff didn't mention the new rules and signs were far from obvious. A lengthy notice period would have alerted infrequent clients things were changing rather than overnight implementation. When the situation's been a certain way for years you don't look for, or expect changes.

Worst service I've ever experienced in Sheffield. Used to be a great place to grab lunch with workmates. Do not waste your time or money here. Such a shame what's happened to this pub.

It's a disgrace why the pub is stopping shut. There is no danger to the public. I don't know why the police would come out with that for. The pub isn't rough, I've been in a lot worst and they're still open. This is a place where people meet up who haven't seen each other for a while. Police have made a lot of this up.

If you barred the little would be gangsters from the vape shop there would be no trouble. They spoil it for the genuine people that go in.

Just been for a lunchtime meal with my mum and her brothers and sisters. They're all in their 80s. The food wasn't too quick to arrive (as it was obviously cooked to order) but it was worth waiting for. They have clearly addressed the negative comments from earlier this year. Service was good. The waitress was obviously new to the job but made a good job of it, checking everything was OK, did we need anything else etc...
Prices are fair. 2 lunchtime meals for £15 and they're definitely good value at that. The "full price" mains are comparable with other pubs.
Good pub, good food, nice atmosphere.
