Reviews of Thyme Cafe

We visited on a friday evening and had requested for the set menu, which ends at 18:30. We had booked a table for 18:30 and although the set menu had officially finished, staff were great in allowing us to use the set menu. It was quite crowded and cramped however food was lovely, staff were so nice and helpful and attentive. We had been recommended this place by a few people and it was lovely. Will be recommending to other people, great food, great staff and great value for money!

We arrived at a Saturday lunchtime, it was very busy but we were given a table straight away. Very nice ambiance and extensive blackboard menu. The fish & chips were excellent, the fish was superbly cooked. The vegetarian salad was nice with many ingredients, although I expected the roasted butternut squash to be warm. The halloumi was slightly warm, but I would have preferred the other ingredients to be closer to room temperature than fridge cold.

We came here for lunch on a Sunday. I do recommend booking in advance because it fills up quick. They had lots of vegetarian options, which seemed to be their forte, but also some for us non veggie. Portions size was great, I almost couldn't finish mine. Few but good kiddie options. I wasn't a fan of the menu on the wall, which was written a bit small and if it wasn't right in front of your table you had to stand around to read, but that's just me. Someone else might find that delightful.

Great small restaurant in Broomhill with a lovely atmosphere, good selection of quality homemade food and craft drinks with very welcoming and lovely staff on arrival, who take care from start to end to enjoy my time there. Highly recommend for lunch and dinner time or any occasion :) Thank you. I will definitely be back again :)

Call me old fashioned, but all I ask from a bistro/restaurant is... serve me hot food, in fair portions that appears to have had a little effort put into it. I've been to Thyme twice now, and on both occasions, they've excelled in each metric. You might laugh, but lukewarm food seems to be a trend nowadays, but not for Thyme — always piping hot, fresh and bearing the hallmarks of 'made right now, entirely from scratch... just for you... no warmed-up nonsense here.' On each visit, I ordered form the set menu; going for the burger both times. Good lord. Huge! Huge, piping hot & tasty. The presentation is quite something, too... and that is what I mean about 'effort' — these guys excel in the areas other restaurants often overlook; final execution. Everything is so beautifully arranged/assembled on the plate (or board if you order a burger). Today, I ordered the Crispy Cajun marinated chicken burger and it looked majestic — not just huge, but meticulously presented. In fact, such was the display, that I felt as though eating it would undermine the chef's diligence and craft. I did eat it, of course, and the taste matched the sight — elite! For dessert, I ordered the apple & blackberry crumble. In a word... otherworldly. Top 3 crumbles of all time, easily. The topping had bite and crunch, while the filling was chunky, smooth and sweet... but crucially, not sickly sweet. Beautifully balanced. Of course... it was hot, now warm, hot! Bravo. Finally, the team — always friendly, always attentive, always make you feel at home. Love this place — a real gem.

11 of us went here for a family celebration and amongst us we had some special dietary needs i.e. gluten intolerant, vegetarian, a seafood allergy. They had a varied menu that offered options to accommodate the dietary needs. The portions were large and inviting and whilst it was not cheap, it was value for money. I have added a few photos of the three meat Sunday lunch, the salmon etc that we were actually served up so you can judge for yourselves.

This place has existed for as long as I've known Sheffield and the turn over in Broomhill is generally high for eateries, so that's a good sign in itself. The food is always tasty and interesting. Today I had something off the specials board. It was a huge ham hock with black pudding and potatoes. Friendly staff, but they did leave us with the bill a bit too long considering it wasn't that busy. Disabled toilet available towards the back, seats are quite packed in though. Overall good, will go again.

In Sheffield for a few days on holiday and was recommended this place so thought I'd give go<br/><br/>Wasn't disappointed from start to finish<br/><br/>Even through you can't book a table here we didn't have to wait long to get one<br/><br/>Friendly greeting on arrival to a well fitted out vibrant restaurant that was buzzy but not over noisy <br/><br/>On sitting down your presented with a massive menu nicely presented on black boards on the wall, great choice across all courses making the choice rather difficult <br/><br/>Service is efficient and friendly with drink and food orders coming up quickly<br/><br/>Food across all courses was well presented, fresh and very tasty and plenty of it and at good prices<br/><br/>We left the there happy, content with full belly's and having not burnt a hole in our pockets<br/><br/>Would definitely go back if ever in the area

Wonderful!. Having walked passed a few times, always to see it packed my girlfriend and I decided to give it a go after not being able to get a reservation at The Milestone. It has a great atmosphere, no need to make a booking but on a friday or saturday, get there early or you might have a a bit of a wait. <br/>Really lovely atmosphere, families, couples,a great mix of people. Service was excellent (if a little rushed - it was very busy!) and drinks orders were taken soon after we had a table. A great wine selection and some great local ales and a big range of the normal beers and soft drinks. The menu is ever changing, and offers a great range for all tastes, from between £11 and £22 for a main. This is really great value, as the quality of the food is so high and the portion sizes are very generous (we had a main and a pudding and were stuffed!)<br/><br/>All in all it was wonderful and cant wait to go back.<br/><br/> 2 courses each, + side dish, wine and beer £52

Highly Recommended. This is the most reliable restaurant in my neighbourhood.<br/><br/>The service is great, not snoooty, not disinterested - but friendly professional and warm.<br/><br/>The food is just great. Tasty, generous portions.<br/><br/>You can't reserve a table, which means if its full you might not get a seat.<br/><br/>Actually why am I telling you this? I want a seat! Stay away!

Good choice of English, American, European dishes serves in a pleasant relaxing atmosphere. Food is always good and the staff eager to please. It can sometimes get a bit too busy but the staff are honest and will always tell you if your order is going to be half an hour. Good place of business lunch or after work social.
