All About our Pop Up Dining Hall (Come Dine With Me/Us!)

Tuesday, May 18th, 2010

Let us ponder carefully about this… would you 1. Love to get all of your coolest friends and dearest pals, colleagues together in your home or 2. Love to get all of your coolest friends and dearest pals, colleagues together in The Chimney House?

So far the polls have come back rather fondly in favour of the latter.

So lets Dinner Party!!!

We’re hosting some amazing dining events at The Chimney House… this is what happens…

The Meeting Room is transformed into a dining hall… ambient and sultry lights down low add in a stack of candles and beautiful stems of the most divine florals and you are catching the vibe.

Cool tunes naturally. Food which is tailor made to measure… menus which are created rather than printed out. We’re interested in doing nice things for you… and what better place to start than how to eat your way through the next 3 hours.

We’re into gastro feasting and work with the best chefs who make the most of the best locally produced and sourced delights that our Yorkshire can kick up at us. We especially love working with The Milestone as they get our crazy musings about what is possible. They source local and their food is not only multi-award winning – and Jay Rayner holds them in super high esteem as well!

The Front Room is the first port of call for a boho little drinks reception – room to circulate the room and of course to admire our lights (everyone admires the lights) You’ll probably get snacks as well… others call them canapés… we don’t – purely for that reason.

Onwards and upwards up a candle-lit stairwell for your grand entrance into your dining hall… the rest they say can’t be told… more to be experienced.

There is the small matter about guests leaving… they don’t ever seem to want to go… I guess we could do a pop up campsite as well as pop up dining… we’ve got a heated floor…. Mmmm deluxe camping….

The other point worthy of a tinny mention is that we’re rather booked up… I take it as a sign of appreciation for our zany lights… maybe everyone wants a peek…

Dinner Parties at The Chimney House start from £45 per head and are based on a minimum of 20 guests. For an informal light viewing (and a bite to eat) drop a line to info@thechimneyhouse.com

Happy Feasters from Irwin Mitchell!

It’s all about us!

Wednesday, March 24th, 2010

Me me me… well at least Chimney Chimney Chimney… everyone’s talking about us…It seems there are Chimney Lovers EVERYWHERE!!

Here’s what they say…

We held one of our away days at The Chimney House and from organising to delivery, it was a real pleasure to work with Sally. The attention to detail and flexibility was great and everything went without a hitch. The feedback from the delegates was fantastic and absolutely everyone commented on how good the venue and food was. I have already passed on Sally’s details to a number of colleagues and will not hesitate to recommend this venue!

Claire Green PA to Ivor Lawrence – Director of Marketing Sheffield Hallam University

I just wanted to compliment you on your superb venue, it really made our day much more interesting and inspiring, what a difference it  makes not being stuck in a stuffy hotel conference room all day. Us
marketing types need to be surrounded by such creativity! it was a great day all round, service, venue and food was top notch! you’ve raised the bar for our conferences, im not sure how we’ll top this one. can’t wait to come back again.

Samantha Moore.   Faculty of Development & Society Sheffield Hallam University

Many thanks for hosting us all last Saturday evening.  Everyone really enjoyed the relaxed yet sophisticated atmosphere.  A real pleasure to spend an evening dinning in the middle of Sheffield’s industrial past!  I’m sure everyone will looking to hark back as soon as they possibly can.

Roger Pearson, Sizer

We held our first ‘out-of-office’ seminar at The Chimney House and the results were tremendous- the attendance was far higher than we experience doing ‘in-house’ talks and the client feedback was nothing short of ultra-positive. The décor, ambiance and service were first rate and we will undoubtedly become regulars!

Toni Cross, Coda Architect Studios

We had our Northern Area Sales Meeting at the Chimney House on Thursday 3rd June

We are a National creative paper company and strive to get our sales team motivated and inspired to go on and deliver to targets and perform in the market place

In the past we have had meetings at our HQ (in Hull) and have also used various hotels but The Chimney House is something else

Carefully restored a fabulous space/room to relax unwinds and opens up those creative juices

Every member of the team really enjoyed the setting, the lovely food and the very helpful staff that are passionate about their building and its history. I ended up asking Sally to give a brief talk about the history and the whole process they took to get the building to be what it is today as the team really wanted to know…

Would defiantly recommend this venue to anyone but not on the dates I want…!

Nick Rowley, GF Smith

The measure of a great venue is when your colleagues ask, ‘when are we going back?’! From start to finish, our Chimney House experience was exceptional! Sally was on hand both before the event and throughout the day, ensuring that everything ran smoothly. The catering was sublime and showcased Sheffield’s finest – great for entertaining out-of-towners! We ended our day with a gastro-feast, fit for a king and everyone thoroughly enjoyed the feed and felt very well looked after. We feel extremely privileged to have The Chimney House as our neighbors and we can’t recommend you highly enough….when can we come back?!

Kate Senter, Irwin Mitchell

Everything in the Chimney House shouts unique. It’s one of those rare finds where someone with an excellent eye for the eclectic has brought together styles and ideas with a level of panache that’s rarely achieved.

Luke Dawson O’Neil, A4e

Many thanks Sally for such a brilliant place to hold our event! Great facilities with lovely touches like candles in the toilet! The food was amazing and great to be able to eat it outside with the ducks for company! Sorry I didn’t get to say goodbye but rest assured I’ll be back soon as soon as I find an excuse…

Melanie Parker, Irwin Mitchell

What a great location! We had one of our best Customer Days in years. We all felt that the style and quality of The Chimney House contributed to the relaxed but professional atmosphere and with a superb lunch we couldn’t have asked for more.

We will be returning.

Philip Brown. PCI Systems

Sally Clark and The Chimney House surpassed all our expectations! We had a great day, and it was the perfect setting for our brand workshop – the surroundings helped stimulate some healthy, creative debate!

Samantha Royle Head of Marketing A4e

A memorable day!

Our group loved the venue and the food. The care and attention we received was first class. If you are looking for somewhere special… look no further.

Forward Ladies networking group.

What a great night, the Chimney House is very impressive and gets away from the stuffy boardroom/conference feel I detest so much – a great addition to the Sheffield scene. Congratulations.

Paul Cocker, Regional Magazine Company

Fabulous venue with 1st class food and hospitality!

BOHO Events

It is good to know that Sheffield now has a venue with pzazz.
Meeting facilities to be enjoyed, not just endured.
And so well rooted in its location. Tipping its hat with respect to its heritage, while looking forward to what lies ahead.
Where better to be inspired for creative business?
Or add a seasoning of fun to whatever the day’s work?

Jed Fraser  Comagogo

What a venue, exquisite attention to detail & fantastic taste!

Jonny Douglas

Wow! What a great night! Fabulous food – how amazing did that table look?! Groovy gang – where did all those gorgeous people come from? And host and hostess with the most and mostest!
Thank you so much – you must be delighted ( and exhausted!)  it s a super winning formula and another example of reinventing Sheffield! May your inbox runneth over and let the bookings commence ( or continue apace!)

Jill White and Andy Hanselman Compete or Get Beat

You have a fantastic venue and I’m sure word of mouth will soon be ringing around Sheffield.

Paul and Linda Frewin The Legacy Group & The Business Network, Sheffield

Thank you for a super evening last night. You put on a fantastic spread. The building looked amazing, great testimony to your creative talents. Rob and I enjoyed meeting you and will certainly spread the word about “The Chimney House”.

Fab venue, great event and amazing food from The Milestone. Really lovely event, great vibe – congratulations!

Wonderful launch event last night, Sheffield has been crying out for such a quality venue for an age.

Simon Cookson rckt

Just a quick note to thank you and your team for a wonderful launch party yesterday

The rooms were stunning and the food was outstanding! The location is very convenient but set in quiet surroundings.  I will certainly bear them in mind for future meetings

Paul Gregory, Legal & Business Affairs Limited

Yes everything went very well for us thank you very much, including the food, which was greatly praised (the freshness of the bread and the fillings). People definitely liked the room, the building generally, and the facilities such as being able to make coffee were greatly appreciated.

The frame around the screen received a lot of favourable comment! No doubt partially as a result of all this our meeting went very well too… no fights or even significant conflicts of opinions.

It was nice though to be able to celebrate the establishment of our new team under our staff re-structure by using the Chimney House for our inaugural team meeting

We would definitely use the Chimney House again

Jamie Lang. Finance Manager – Sheffield City Council Schools Statutory and Strategic Team

What a great venue, recommend it to everyone who needs a stylish space to hold a meeting or event in Sheffield!

Ben Hall Senior account director  Iris Associates

All the best with an amazing venue, I hope that the Sheffield community appreciate such a fine venue.

Ben Sequerra Chief Executive at Pro Sheffield

The Chimney House cleverly provides a creative, innovative and forward-thinking space with a clear nod to the heritage of the building and the city. The meeting room was therefore the perfect setting for our needs and topic of conversation. Everyone was impressed by the attention to detail. It is clear that a lot of effort and hard work has gone into make the Chimney House a unique meeting experience. We particularly loved the horn!

Creativesheffield

The Chimney House was a great place to shoot(film) A beautiful main room with its lovely design, layout and stylish mix of modern and old design perfectly captures the modern style of the city of Sheffield. It’s also very quiet and the shortbread’s yummy.
