Delicious dining in Rotherham

“I’ve been coming to this Café for around 7-8 months now, and it’s become a weekly occurrence, great meals and awesome staff; with a great sense of humour. The menu’s great! It pretty much serves everything from breakfast to what you’d take home for Tea. Drinks are great; Coffee and Tea, soft drinks, juices, and milkshakes. Today I had a great Bacon & Cheese Burger with Chips, great meal. I would also recommend the Ham Salad sandwiches, such a nice thing to take home for tea. Always great service.”

“We decided to stop by The Big Smoke for lunch while out and called ahead to reserve a table. The staff were very accommodating, telling us we could arrive in 45 minutes, and upon arrival, they had already prepared a baby high chair, which was a thoughtful touch. The service was friendly and attentive throughout, with the team recommending the day’s specials and checking in on us regularly. Drinks arrived promptly within 5 minutes, though the mains took a little longer, it was nothing too concerning. Overall, we had a pleasant dining experience and would definitely visit again!”

“Large and friendly Asian restaurant, with speedy service. Vegetarian dishes are cooked with vegetable oil, so are generally vegan. I had the vegan Balti Palak Aloo Dhal & mushroom rice, which were absolutely delicious. Would thoroughly recommend.”

“Such a great kfc. Awesome food, quick service and easy ordering. The workers are really nice and are always polite. The toilets and the seating area is always clean.”

“Great service and foods amazing”

“Great and quick service, ordered the 'Chefs Special' Quad Beef Biscoff Burger, Mrs went with the peanut butter Burger, got a sharer loaded fries, so many options it was hard to make our mind up! delivery was quick and the quality beats any burger place around, will order again soon, I recommend Cali Cruz to every Burger lover, its a banger.”

“Went for Sunday lunch, but I chose from an extensive menu my partner had scampy. I had Scilian chicken, both were delicious and nicely presented at a very reasonable cost. Nice environment and friendly helpful staff. Can definitely recommend”

“Great place, fresh and plentiful food. Great staff always make us feel welcome and cook your food in the traditional cafe way. Decor is great with areas themed around movies, toys, games and nostalgia from the past (70's & 80's). Just make sure you take money as it is cash only.”

“Where to start? Absolutely brilliant food and service from a man who is passionate about good food and well being. Myself and my wife came by here today and we were blown away with how welcoming and full of life this place is. Thank you so much, we will be back!”

“Fantastic breakfast this morning while sat outside in the sun. Ordered the XXL breakfast and Tea. Good portion size served by very friendly staff. Spotlessly clean place and very prompt service. Thanks.”

“Nice food pleasant staff good place to eat or takeaway”

“Great food good price like the personal touch”

“Great and friendly service- didn’t take that long for food to be ready. Burger bursting full of flavour. The wings were good but could be better. Overall would go there again one of the best burgers I’ve had in Yorkshire.”

“There are not enough stars to rate this place. We had no booking, no plan, no nothing. We got a takeaway pizza, exceptional amounts of cheese and chilli, and a taxi ordered + a bottle of wine. 9000000% would return here for all occasions. The staff where beyond lovely. Just go here youll like it.”

“We’ve came for Sunday lunch as a table of 6. The service has been impeccable, very quick with bringing the meats out. All the meats were super tender, especially the minted lamb. However I did love the cinnamon pineapple. All the staff were really polite and friendly. I will definitely be coming back!”

“Honestly exceeded all expectations. Wonderful vibes. All the humans are friendly and welcoming. Good coffee. Pizza and baguettes were freshly prepared and delicious. Brilliant details - cloud lightshades against a bright blue ceiling, emerald tabletops, creative cakes, fab eclectic playlist, and rainbows everywhere. Serves Camden brewery beers, and has some cracking cocktail ingredients. Totally loved it.”

“You can see why this has been Rotherham’s Pub of the Year for 7 years running - a classic pub with a great range of Chantery ales, real coal fires, top tunes piped out which does not stifle good conversation.”

“Simply one of the best sandwich shops! Friendly staff, beautiful sandwiches! which ever choice you have hot or cold,”

“Very friendly ladies that work here, always welcoming. Food is really nice, sausages are not the cheap tasting ones like most sandwich shops.”

“Been ordering from here for few months now. Never had a bad dish. Food always amazing. Comes hot and is always on time. Best 1 around”

“First time in a long time was really pleased breakfast was excellent highly recommended.”

“The best pizza - Luigi hand stretches all the bases personally, unlike most of the pizza shops around here that use pre-made bases. The prices have barely increased in the 30+ years that this place has been open. He doesn't deliver, he doesn't need to, its that popular. If you want a Friday tea-time pizza phone it in or you will be waiting, it's that popular.”

“The best takeaways Chinese food . Deserve for more that 5 ⭐️”

“What an absolute little gem this place is! I’m a regular customer here and I have never been let down, the staff are an amazing bunch of ladies who are so welcoming and they make the best sandwich’s around! Our village wouldn’t be the same without this place, you can’t beat their price and I couldn’t recommend this place enough! If you haven’t already be sure to give them a try you won’t be disappointed!”

“Beautiful setting, food was excellent, staff are very professional & welcoming. We was recommended to visit by a friend, so glad we went & we will definitely be bad soon.”

“For me, best cafe in Rotherham town centre. I can't comment on it as a bar (never been on an evening), but it's my go-to for a Saturday morning breakfast. Independent, friendly, good food, reasonably priced. The staff have a good rapport with regulars. Decent music a lot of the time too, which makes a nice change for cafes. I recommend their full breakfasts - I'm not a small fella, and their large breakfast is too much for me! They take card payments, but cash is preferred if possible.”

“The team are always lovely and the food is consistently high quality.”

“We had a fabulous cream tea here today. A delicious selection of sandwiches with a salad garnish followed by delicious home made cakes and a cream scone. Served on pretty china crockery by friendly owners.”
