Some birthdays are quiet. Others come with dessert cocktails and a playlist that keeps getting louder. Whichever you’re planning, Sheffield’s birthday restaurants can deliver, especially if you know where to look. We’ve put together a list of the best spots in town. You'll find Broomhill bistros with warm lighting, city centre spots that handle big groups like pros, and many more. Tagvenue’s booking tools make sure you spend less time Googling and more time toasting.
Sheffield’s birthday restaurant options cover everything from large party-ready spaces like Revolution and The Botanist, which have large capacities and flexible bar menus, to stylish sit-down venues like BEJU Restaurant and Bar or Thyme Cafe for smaller celebrations. Broomhill has popular choices if you're looking for a slightly quieter area with unique vibes, while Central Sheffield offers the highest concentration of venues, many with lively nightlife nearby.
For more private or smaller gatherings, you can book venues with event packages at around £10–£40 per person. For larger groups or private room hire, expect a minimum spend from £100 to £5,000 per session, depending on location and capacity. Full-day hire fees tend to range between £150 and £750, especially at hotels or larger venues. (Based on Tagvenue data.)
You can rent various options, including private dining rooms, full restaurant takeovers, bar-restaurants, and hotel restaurants with event space. Various choices are available, starting with... seated dinners for 10–40 people to standing receptions for up to 950 guests, giving you enough flexibility depending on your guest list and party style.
Booking midweek or during off-peak seasons can lower costs, especially at central venues. Choosing a restaurant with event packages like those at El Paso or Isabella's Bar & Restaurant, can help you better manage your budget. Smaller spaces in areas like Broomhill or Mosborough may also offer lower hire fees than high-demand central spots.
