A Little Bit About the Sherwood Restaurant

Family owned and operated by Dennis Duce, the Sherwood has been a Brantford dining landmark for the last 47 years. Throughout those 47 years, the Sherwood has had only one goal in mind; to serve their customers good quality food at reasonable prices in a friendly, relaxed atmosphere. Every detail of the Sherwood's operation comes under Dennis' careful scrutiny, from the meat lockers to the sugar bowls in the front booths. You'll often see Dennis working in or around the dining rooms. He might even have been the very friendly carver who sliced your roast beef for you.

Not everyone wants to eat fast fried burgers; people are more health conscious nowadays. For these discerning diners, the Sherwood is an excellent alternative. There are special nutritional diet meals that are cooked without oil or salt. Be sure to try one for your heart's sake! The Sherwood is fully licensed by the LLBO, so if you prefer, you can enjoy a mixed drink or a glass of wine with your meal.

The Sherwood offers an excellent menu in our main restaurant featuring a wide selection of steaks, seafood, schnitzel, chicken and roast beef, at reasonable prices. Diners have a choice of seating arrangements, depending on their state of mind. In both the booths and the dining room (right) the menus and service are the same. The booths are very bright and surprisingly comfortable, but the dining room is still the location of choice for many of the Sherwood's patrons.

Plentiful seating arrangements, amid classic chandeliers provide a restful and relaxing environment. While enjoying the Sherwood's fine cooking, most patrons enjoy the many paintings which adorn the walls. Both the paintings and the large mural at the end of the dining room were painted by the Sherwood's builder, Mr. Ernest Duce.

The foyer to the Nottingham Room also leads to the two handicapped rest rooms. The entrance to the foyer leads from an exterior ramp which leads to the pavement. This informal area is the perfect place for guests to congregate before entering the Nottingham, as it leads to a cloak room for coats and footwear. Bright and cheerful, it is a perfect entranceway leading to the full elegance of the Nottingham Room. A life-sized Robin Hood (painted by Mr. Ernest Duce) welcomes visitors with folded arms, as if to say "Eat Hearty".
