| Stopped in on the way up the road because of the eye catching exterior and had an acceptable half of Thwaites Oktoberfest. The barmaid was friendly and served us quickly, but before long we moved on to The Devonshire Cat. littleredone - 26 Sep 2010 15:18 |
| Beautiful exterior, but that's all one can say. Dull and lifeless inside with Thwaites brews on offer, had the Lancaster Bomber which was just about drinkable. Interchange next door which is useful i suppose. nokegthanks - 4 Aug 2010 16:59 |
| I was disappointed with the interior of this pub after the promise of the exterior. Comfortable though. The landlady was a bit terse - one of those dragons who joke with you one minute and get on their high horse the next. The beer was ok if you like Thwaites - not one of my personal raves. Handy for bus and train. chick - 6 Apr 2009 10:20 |
| Thwaites Original, Lancaster Bomber, & topical ‘Red Nose Bag’. Central semi-octagon(?) wood bar with brass rails at counter & floor level. Bar surrounded by sectioned, but open, carpetted seating areas and fabric-wood banquettes follow around the walls below windows, old photos provide decoration. Behind the bar to the rt is a dining room with nice stone fireplace & coal grate, but it is unfortunate that the old full-length slat windows offer a view of only some picnic sets then a paved area where some bus-workers were having a smoke. Thursday’s blackboard specials were chicken & bacon pasta (£4.50) or lasagne verdi (£5.25) – both included garlic.. bread! Printed menus majored on cheap pub grub – eg fish&chips or steak&kidney pie were both £4, most wines were listed at <£10. Very quiet thurs 3pm and the 2 fruit machines may be invasive at other times, but most anoying was the music being neither on, nor off, creating the irritating tinny ‘bleed’ effect from cheap headphones of an inconsiderate walkman/ipod user. The pub is not all bad, the beer was ok, but even with a location handy for trains & buses it needs to try harder in this town, and the interior is hardly sympathetic to a building purporting to be one of the oldest in Sheffield. trainman - 8 Mar 2009 19:11 |
| Saturday March 7, 2009, afternoon. There was no decent beer on offer. This pub serves a range of Thwaites beers, which are insipid to poor, and can't begin to compare to the range of micro-brewed beers available across Sheffield, re taste, quality and price. Much worse though, the landlord was rude -- repeatedly rude if not nasty and even aggressive -- and this despite the landlady cajoling him to be civil; and I recall he'd been not dissimilar when I'd encountered him a long while back. The landlady took over serving me, but I said that I was no longer prepared to buy anything from the pub given the landlord's demeanour. I was with a group of friends, so I didn't react to the landlord's unpleasantness, but I'll make sure we never go in this place ever again. The pub seemed to have a few town soaks just to finish the experience off. stevemoxon - 7 Mar 2009 18:01 |
