I go here occasionally at week-day lunch times, as I work nearby. Its nice, clean, basic pub with bar room, smaller dining room and snug. Small beer "garden" at the rear. You pass it as you travel out of sheffield on the A61(N) penistone road.
I like this pub. The food is always nice and fresh here, and reasonably priced. Always a good range of well-kept cask ales.
Some thing reliable in a world of so much crap.

We go in there each season when we're playing at Hillsborough (I won't mention the team!) I love the pub, a wide range of real ales and ciders. Good food, big portions! Well worth a visit.

We went here after the game at Hillsborough yesterday (CUFC). It must have been only about 10 minutes or so walk from the ground. About 10 or 11 hand pumped ales were available for our visit. The pub is owned by the Nottingham brewer - Castle Rock. The pub was friendly to away fans. One of the staff helped arrange us a cab back to the station. Although the cab arrived early he kindly agreed to wait until the time we ordered it for. This allowed us to finish the ales we had only recently ordered which were lovely. We tipped the cabbie for kindly waiting for us.

Called in following the Don Floods, and found it quiet so had a meal with my excellent beer. The hot chilli was certainly that, and I will put it down for a meal again. Brilliant.

Yet another great pub on the N. Sheffield crawl. Good food-good choice of beers-excellent for away fans as Hillsborough is only 10 min walk away
|
Great pub mixture of home and away fans very friendly

Great Pub, went to visit when Blues played Wednesday up there...Fine section of beer, and food OK , ( cheap and filling )
|
A very busy pub that I enjoy visiting on my crawls as the beers are in good condition and a good selection too. Never managed to eat here yet as I have never managed to get in when there is a table free, but one day....

Nothing has changed since the last posting a year ago. Magnificent range of beer - 10 bitters and 8 lagers, all real, on handpump and a huge range of bottled beers and whiskies. Decent, cheap and quickly-served food. Real atmosphere, crowded, but very friendly on Sheff Wed matchdays, but I suspect very popular at all other times as well.

What a superb place to drink, eat, listen to music, meet people etc.....
I have been drinking there for 2 years and worked there for 1 year and as I am leaving the area and will no longer be a regular I thought I'd do it justice. This is a pub which is underrated (thankfully) which means you have a chance of being served all week. Apart from matchdays (Sheff Wed), saturdays in the interlude between band sessions and the evening of last sunday of the month (Dizzy club play).....Arrrggghhhhh Get em in early! Quiz night is really popular but I hate quizzes with a passion, so can't give it a 10 due to it having one.
80% of custom is from regulars (at a guess) and they are a really friendly bunch. It's a popular place with young and old alike as long as you like beer and interesting people.
Finally, the best landlord i've ever met has gone, but the new one seems great too. Phew!

Excellent range of beer, interesting and well served (if v slightly pricey) food, slightly offset by the loyalty card - buy 8 drinks get one free.

Also - food lunchtimes and evenings, non-smoking room, huge range of continental lagers and Belgian beers.

Don't be put off by the shabby exterior - this is a great pub with an excellent range of beers. The food (especially Sunday lunch) is good too - some of the best veggi pub grub I have ever tasted.

Good place to visit before seeing Sheffield Wednesday struggle through another season. Very trad, with lots of rooms and central bar with corridor. Live music sometimes - good mixed crowd. Also has very good range of real ales - try locally brewed Abbeydale Moonshine.
