The Broadfield Pub Review

 

The Broadfield Pub in Sheffield is a place I have been many times in my life. My family often visits throughout the year and have also made it an annual tradition to go for their fantastic Christmas dinner on the 27th of December to see the season out. I wanted to review this place that has been the source of many a tasty meal and recommend it to others who live or want to visit Sheffield as I think it is truly one of the best possible examples of how delicious British food can be when done correctly. Also for my beer lovers, this pub specialises in craft beers and frequently rotates and features new guest beers throughout the year. 

My favourite thing to get when I come to The Broadfield is a pie. Overall, I would say I am generally not a huge pie lover, I don’t dislike them but unless they are made by my mother I could take them or leave them. However it is my own personal ritual that I absolutely have to have a pie when I come here (except for at Christmas) Usually I opt for some variation of the beef pie but this most recent visit of mine I decided to try the chicken and mediterranean veg pie. The special Sunday lunch menu is constantly rotating and usually includes 5-6 different pies including vegan and vegetarian options that are equally as tasty if you are someone who chooses not to eat meat. I have tried a couple of the vegan options in the past and as someone who isn’t vegan but isn’t against eating more plant based, they were incredibly tasty, something I think a lot of people aren’t willing to accept when it comes to veganism. 

My pie was gorgeous. The pastry they use on their pies is my absolute favourite. It is just so flavourful and moreish. The filling was also delicious, the chicken came in a tomato based sauce, and whilst I couldn't identify all the vegetables included, there was definitely some courgette, a vegetable I think is very underrated and one of my most loved. All pies come with mushy peas and the most wonderful triple cooked chips you’ll have ever had. 

I really want to stress the greatness of this gastro pub, it's truly one of the best I’ve ever been to. With a variety of options available you don’t just need to stick to the traditional, you are able to branch out and explore other dishes if that's what you wish. I am particularly looking forward to attending some of the theme nights that are offered. A set of themes are picked for various dates throughout the year and extravagant tasting menus are created around the ideas. Themes such as James Bond or Dungeons and Dragons are just some of the supper club experiences available. I’m sure I will enjoy them immensely and can't wait to do another review when I do.
