Assembly Bar & Bistro - Sheffield

Luke M

A promising new Resturant, cafe, bar business in a fantastic location within the beautiful Bradfield valley just behind the cricket pitch.

I called in for dinner last night. The risotto was ok but not too exciting. The service was a little wanting, everyone was perfectly polite, but the new business is is clearly aspiring to provide an exceptional customer experience. It has invested heavily in the interior, the presentation of the menu and the online presentation, but the staff are quite young, probably quite inexperienced and as such the feeling is that you’re being served by people just doing part time work from the local area, which can still be great, but train the team and set the benchmark. Playing pop hits like Wetleg in a Resturant where you’re charging £20 a dish and in this setting just doesn’t fit. A senior manager who is able to set the standard and build a great team perhaps!?

Still it is a new business that has only recently opened and I’ll certainly come back, particularly as they offer a Sunday roast.

Definitely worth a visit!

Lovely meal, great menu, really tasty. Just a little cold inside which affected atmosphere. Will go back!

Delicious food and a wide range of gluten free options. An overall great experience! We’ll definitely be back.

We booked to come to the St Patrick’s Party. I have to share my disappointment , I felt that perhaps the chef could have made a special for the occasion ie Irish stew, champ and bacon etc and the entertainment certainly wasn’t Irish . We left at 9o’clock due to disappointment of what could have been an excellent night with just a little thought ☘️
The food that we did have was delicious and our waitress was great .

Had such a lovely evening at the Assembly bar & bistro, the new addition to the Schoolrooms which is also lovely! Loved the food it was so tasty and even better than expected you could really tell it was of a high standard along with also having good portion sizes! Staff and service was excellent and my whole family were so impressed. It’s such a beautiful setting and the newly decorated interior looks amazing! Thank you we will definitely be back xx

1st time at the Assembly Room as a local we welcome this addition to the area . Food was delicious and well presented staff friendly and attentive drinks a little pricey but it’s only a small bar. Decor and atmosphere spot on a great Saturday night out without the truck in to Sheffield centre…. We will be back!

As a weekly visitor to the school Rooms I was thrilled about the opening of The Assembly so booked for last weekend.
The food was excellent and the staff were lovely but still learning. Service was slow but apologies were made.
The decor is wonderful but upstairs was incredibly warm even with all windows open hopefully some air con installed for warmer weather. The upstairs room ceiling is quite low contributing to the heat and how noisy, music was too loud, it was. The dark turquoise bench upstairs is too high and even the tallest lady was laughing as she was looking down on her husband and giving him orders. It was very uncomfortable, needs removing.
Worse still one of the directors children was kicking a football around in the restaurant, though chastised he continued elsewhere in the building and hit one of my party as she came out of the ladies toilet.
I was so disappointed as being reasonably local we were looking forward to being regulars. Won't be ordering wine again as a mediocre bottle of Sauvignon was over £30.
Will give them time to learn before trying again.

A very cosy and welcoming atmosphere with very nice traditional pub/ bistro food. We had the supper menu and prices were reasonable for the quality. The french onion soup was very nice ?. Will be coming about again in future
