Showroom Cinema - Sheffield

Called in for breakfast as a one off. A tenner 2.40 for a pot of tea that filled one and a half of the cup provided. So 12.40. Thats plenty enough for a northern town in my book so why not just get it right? 'Bacon, sausage, eggs, mushroom, tomato, beans, hash brown and toast ' is the menu and all this was delivered in a fashion. 'Eggs ' implies two at least, but they were difficult to quantify as they came scrambled. I was not given an option how how the egg(s) were cooked. I would have thought fried egg(s) would have have been the default option and one I would have preferred. Bacon x 2 was decent quality and nicely done. Sausage x 2 were dreadful like 10 for a quid from Iceland. Toast was bizarre; two pieces of what looked like nice white bread, but was toasted in a flat grill machine that left stripes all over the slices. The striped indentations were burned and they tasted burned too. Worse thing is no butter was provided. With no dippy egg to use the dry half burned toast, it was left on the plate. Attention to detail is what makes average into classy, and it 's so easy to do here. I think if if you can 't find a way to cook a simple decent breakfast then I wouldn 't trust them to do anything above that.

Always a good spot for a coffee break. Good coffee.Delicious choice of cakes and pastries too. Spacious and airy. Free water on tap. Clean toilets. Staff helpful. Perfect.

Friend and I wanted a light lunch, very limited choice, no quiche, no baked potatoes, sandwiches looked tired, ordered fish finger sandwich and chips Chips almost burnt to a crisp, didn’t eat them, dry white bread totally boring and unappetising meal with inedible chips that cost £12 a total waste of money Complained to waiter, vague response, second time asked if he had conveyed my complaint to chef, received some kind of mumbled apology but no action taken, suggested refund and he replied ‘out of my hands’ won’t be returning

Booked a table to eat before going to a matinee performance at the theatre. There a bit early (12.15) but waited til 12.30 to order. Took 40 minutes to come, during which time the place got more and more busy. We were offered a refund if we didn't want to wait, but decided to stay put. And we were glad we did! Delicious warm goats cheese salad with tasty dressing. Excellent fries. Good coffee, as per normal. Worth waiting for....

It is such a shame that this place has changed so much from....well, a long time ago. Bring back the Sunday Jazz lunches. Ate here with friends and it was utterly disappointing (again). Poor wine selection and very unpleasant, over-priced food. Chose one of the very few vegetarian options on the menu and it was utterly tasteless. Couldn't even identify most of the ingredients as being present. I ordered a burrito but it was just a flour wrap stuffed with rice and the odd kidney bean (no idea where the other ingredients were but I was assured they were in there) with a few chopped tomatoes on the top. Utterly tasteless and a waste of time saying that there is cheese, avocado, lettuce, beans and soured cream if you can't actually see or taste them. The vegan hot dog was, I hear, just as disappointing. £10 each for these meals. (Do yourself a favour and head to the Street Food Chef around the corner. THAT place knows how to serve a taste-filled burrito and is several pounds cheaper. The saving grace is that the manager was really lovely and offered a refund. Wouldn't return here, though unless the menu changes significantly in options and taste. I hope that it does because it is a lovely atmosphere and a place to which I would like to bring my custom but, as it stands, my return won't be any time soon.
