Fagan's in Sheffield

Such a lovely welcoming pub. The staff are all super friendly and happy to spend time talking to you. My husband absolutely loved the Guinness, we only popped in for a drink but we ended up staying for a few more 🙈. Not only are the staff uber friendly but so are their customers, we talked to so many people while we was having our drinks. We would definitely recommend this pub and would visit it again if we are in Sheffield again!

Walking into Fagan's felt like walking into a proper local. The warm and friendly atmosphere, the old-school feel, we just felt welcome. We ordered drinks and sat playing shut-the-box while happy, relaxed conversations went on around us. Would have been happy to stay longer if we had the chance. If you get the chance at all, pop in, sit down, and have a pint. You'll be more than welcome.

What a boozer. You don’t get many pubs like fagans anymore. Superb Guinness and even better atmosphere. I can’t wait to return and sample more of the black stuff ASAP.

I was in Sheffield to see the Rock n Roll Circus and we were told it was a must to visit Fagans! Well it was so fantastic we went again on Saturday night. It was a hit! The service was above and beyond and the entertainment was spot on. The bar supervisor, I think her name was Lucy, made sure we were all looked after as we were quite a big group. I would totally recommend this place again and will surely visit next year

Bar staff are great very welcoming. My friend won at close the box! His Viking roar bellowed throughout the pub, the place stood still as the dust settled, we rejoiced and drunk Guinness, the night was immense.

Plastic Paddy Guardian reader pub. Horrible atmosphere Dirty devoid of customers and atmosphere.. should be closed soon .. it would make a decent plot for a block of flats

Landlord thinks he's an academic. Extremely rude and only wants a small number of regulars. You will get banned for no reason. Even if you are disabled. Hopefully wont be around too much longer. Unhygienic.

Regularly come into this wonderful little pub, the landlords are always welcoming & chatty, prefecture kept beer & decent food served. A wonderful pub.

Fagans fue el primer puerto de escala para bebidas antes de la cena para mí y mi hija. Llegamos alrededor de las 7 pm para descubrir que éramos los únicos clientes. Aparentemente, el lugar se había vaciado al final de una sesión de música en vivo. "Un pub apropiado", le dije a mi hija. Tomamos un par de copas y pudimos discutir nuestros planes para la noche. Inicio agradable y relajante, dueños amables.

On a CAMRA real ale trip to Sheffield, came across this homely little pub. Well we came across the mural on the outside wall first, called “the snog”Pub served Tetleys on hand pump and a good selection of guns, all in large measures. The back room was full of locals with acoustic guitars, banjos etc. And we’re entertaining each other with folk and pop songs. Landlord came and sat with us and regaled us with many a story. We had a really good afternoon and were sad to leave. But we will be back

Nice old pub, friendly bartender who lent us cards and showed us how to play shut the box. They play live music Monday nights but we left before it started (about 9pm). There was a beautiful old doggo.

Una institución de Sheffield. Vengo aquí desde hace más de 30 años. Siempre una cálida bienvenida con cerveza bien cuidada, buena conversación y compañía. Entonces, ¿por qué la crítica del martes con un par de amigos decidimos comer allí? Todos nos decidimos por el pastel de la estaca y la cerveza. Fue enorme la porción más grande de comida de calidad que he servido en mi vida. Sólo por 8. Todo lo que puedo decir es probarlo. No es elegante, pero es calidad a través y por completo.

Todo el mundo que conozco quién vivió, estudió o trabajó en Sheffield ha elogiado este pub y recomienda tomarlo aquí. Así que me complace confirmar que no hay decepción y que se trata de tabaco. Un montón de carácter, no twittear o características schmaltzy. La cerveza está bien conservada, el personal es amable, amable, rápido y servicial. Hay una buena selección de comida de pub y tuvimos la suerte de compartir el espacio con una mezcla de músicos relajados pero impresionantes aparentemente regulares / espontáneos (si es posible). ¿Qué más se puede pedir?

Visitamos un sábado por la tarde y disfrutamos un poco de cerveza Abbeydale. Fuimos visitantes de Sheffield, y estamos muy contentos de ver que aún existen establecimientos como Fagans. Sin lujos, personal amable, gran valor. La gente simplemente se movía para tocar sus guitarras y sus violines en el cuarto de atrás, ¡y los gigantescos carcajadas que vimos fueron servidos al hombre en la siguiente mesa!

Huge food portions Cheap beer The snug Pub dog Steeped in history Best pint of Guinness in Sheffield Two lovely owners

He estado en Fagan muchas veces cuando estuve en Sheffield durante algunos meses, allá por 2006-2007. Fagan tiene ese encanto del viejo mundo, acogedor y hogareño. La gente es cálida, la comida es excelente y tomar cerveza en Fagan's es pura dicha. Después de estar en muchos pubs en los alrededores de Sheffield, debo decir que Fagan's es simplemente increíble. Algún día en el futuro definitivamente me gustaría visitar Fagan's. ¡Salud! !

Es como retroceder en el tiempo cuando entras a este pub. Tiene todo, lamentablemente, la mayoría de los pubs se pierden en estos días, ¡un gran ambiente! Visitamos el sábado por la noche y estaba zumbando. La gente tocando instrumentos musicales y cantando en el pequeño lugar sonaba genial. Un bar bien abastecido, grandes medidas y precios baratos, ¿qué hay para no amar?

Íbamos camino a la última exposición de Pete McKee y tomamos una foto de su mural en el lado de este pub en el camino. Luego aparecimos para tomar una copa.

Desafortunadamente, acabo de tener la oportunidad de escribir esta crítica. Después de visitar una bonita y "mundana moda, genial, moderna y francamente sin vida y aburrida en la azotea" fuimos dirigidos al Sheffield City Center en busca de un poco más de vitalidad, en el camino también estaba buscando una tienda que pudiera comprar una caja de cigarrillos, y después de encontrar un Tesco, y encender un Lambert & Butler fresco afuera, miré al otro lado de la carretera para ver una escuela muy vieja que se veía construir por el camino. Te contaré un pequeño secreto ahora, el edificio fue 'Fagan's'. ; )

Mi compañero me dijeron que este pequeño pub valía la pena intentarlo. Estaba un poco dudoso ya que nos acercamos ya que el exterior de los pubs no era el mejor, pero por dentro es un pub tradicional y antiguo. Cuando llegamos a las 5 p.m. estaba muy ocupado. La sala de atrás fue ocupada por personas que tocan música.

Called into Fagans first time, we were welcomed by a lovely lady behide the bar, it's an old pub and really down to earth don't expect any frills , it's really clean, and the atmosphere is great. We had a couple of drinks, but we will definitely be popping in again .

este pub es un lugar de música en vivo, así como ofrece comida casera, tom el propietario es una joya absoluta, y el personaje de primer orden, el lugar es pequeño y elegante, pero la bienvenida es enorme y la música después del almuerzo o cena en un fin de semana es definitivamente excepcional. Mi pub favorito en el Reino Unido sin ninguna duda

Después de haber pasado este lugar durante años, decidimos probarlo y fue grandioso: el propietario y la casera tienen un servicio al cliente único, pero siéntate a tomar una cerveza (Tetleys o Moonshine tirados a mano) y prueba algunos de sus alimentos saludables. El menú de comida es bastante limitado y no está cordon bleu, pero vale la pena el dinero y vale la pena ir.

La semana pasada me uní a algunos antiguos amigos de las escuelas Junior y Grammar, la mayoría de los cuales no había visto en alrededor de 50 años.

Acabo de leer la crítica más estúpida de este pub y pensé que simplemente escribiría una reseña rápida. Este es uno de nuestros pubs locales que está dirigido por una pareja genuinamente encantadora, con cerveza bien cuidada y comida casera que hemos tenido en numerosas ocasiones y siempre hemos disfrutado. Generalmente hay un grupo de cantantes folklóricos un sábado por la tarde que son un placer escuchar. Definitivamente uno de los mejores pubs tradicionales de Sheffields, nos encanta el lugar.

This is by a mile the worst pub I have ever been in. The landlord and landlady obviously have mental health issues. The pub is filthy, smells and the atmosphere is horrible.

Traditional pub that has been in business in some form since 1815. Owners make you feel like family. Food is awesome. Big portions. Good beer/ale and walking distance to Bramhall Lane (Sheffied United stadium). Enjoyed ourselves so much, the next time we are in England, we will be sure to stop in Sheffield so we can visit Fagan's again.

As we were with a rather big group (10), the food took quite long. When it arrived though, everything was forgotten. It was lovely and so was the hospitality. The owner/cook was so kind! Also really enjoyed the live Irish music (Friday night).

I chose Fagan's for my leaving do as I have been there for other people's. It's a good traditional Irish pub with good beers that are very reasonably priced, and food that hits the spot. The chicken and spinach curry and chilli went down well with my guests. But best of all is the friendly and relaxed atmosphere that you can't manufacture. An enjoyable evening that confirmed it was a good choice of venue.

Every Friday evening there's a few people that come in and play Irish music. Lovely! Fair prices and sometimes they let their dog walk around, even better. Very friendly pub! Love this place.

Mi hermano estaba de visita y después de una comida en la ciudad que queríamos un agradable pub por una pinta y un chat.

Generous home cooked food. Kept my son and daughter alive during their university careers in Sheff. We still visit, and are always guaranteed a warm welcome, top snap and good Tetleys

We went to Fagan's on a rainy Wednesday afternoon for some good traditional English food, both of us were looking for the best breakfast in Sheffield on google and we were lead to Fagan's a from a few various review sites. The pub is easy to spot due to the painting of the elderly couple on the side of the building and has a really cosy traditional interior which certainly added to the experience, I believe the owner served us on the bar.. He was very friendly and I felt this is possibly one of the most accommodating places I've eaten at in Sheffield. For a small pub, the menu was quite vast, lots of traditional pub menu food as well as some fish dishes (which I'll no doubt be going back to try again), All of the food also is cooked to order on the premises and there was no sign of anything being microwaved or anything like that... Just good honest food. A pre-warning before you visit however... The breakfast is GIGANTIC! - A very generous offering for the £7.50 we paid and nothing was missing, I'm a huge fan of the great English breakfast and I could possibly say that it's up there with one of the best breakfasts I have ever eaten!Complements to the owners and chef, a fantastic place to eat! - Will definitely return!

Excellent food and beer. Music most nights. A real community pub with very welcoming landlord and landlady as well as the regulars.

For the musician living in Sheffield, an evening trip to Fagan's for the jam sessions should certainly be placed on the "must-do" list. Every night, local acoustic musicians gather around to play through a set of (mostly Irish) tunes; it can be a bit cliquey to the casual attendee, but it is always good fun.Tom, the landlord, is always very friendly and welcoming; he introduced himself on our first visit and even remembered our names several weeks later. He keeps a nice atmosphere in his pub, with a small but decent selection of real ales to choose from. Prices are moderate for Sheffield, which in comparison to the rest of the country is fairly reasonable.

Tom the landlord and his wife Barbara always give you a very warm welcome. A nice old fashioned pub, serving a good pint. If you want food be warned the portions are huge and we'll cooked.

This is a pub that you have to visit in Sheffield, just off the city centre and it is just a great place to stop off at.They have beer, larger, wine, spirits and food, you are greeted with a smile and there is plenty of room to sit. They have live music here and even Richard Hawley pops in for a pint and to do the crossword.You cannot miss this pub as when you walk towards it you see the large mural of Andy Capp on the side of the building.

If I tell you that I waited for my husband before entering this pub that lets you know my first impression. Inside we were met with a smile and friendly welcome and yes they do stock ginger beer in fact 3 types . High on my priority list for a pub. All the hot meals were £7(I think) including monkfish in bacon but I couldn't resist the black pudding. My husband had the Cajun chicken. Yes the cushions on the stools are not the cleanest but then we were ready to experience the atmosphere that is why we went. I would certainly go again. The food was attractively presented,fresh and tasty. We think someone in the kitchen thought our orders were the other way round. There was less on my husband's plate which may be why he was not so impressed as I was.

So disappointed. Read the reviews on Tripadvisor and looked forward to a nice meal in a lovely pub. Arrived about 2.00 pm on a Sunday afternoon and the place was deserted and stunk of bleach. Were we at the right place?, we left after one drink, even though we intend to have meal.

Fagans is a traditional pub that relies on good beer served by friendly staffI the place hasn't changed much in decades and it's all the better for itYou won't find loud music or plastic tables here, but you will find a warm welcome by a family who are clinging on to traditional valuesSt Patrick's Day here is the best day of the year

yes lets have old world charm, but this is just plain tatty & smelly. Apparently Richard hawley cites this as his favourite Sheffield haunt? Hmm, I would get to ENT & check out those sinusus Mr H!

I first visited this pub in 1979, when it was still The Barrel, and the interior has barely changed since then! I have spent so many happy hours in this fantastic pub, and it has very happy memories for me. Visiting Fagan's is like stepping back in time for me, and I'm always a bit surprised that Tom & Barbara are not the 30-somethings I remember from years ago. Always a great pint, great crack, and a smashing little snug.

Fagan's is an old fashioned pub with some of the best food around. The pub is well known in certain circles for it's traditional ''Irish'' music and an assortment, if not rather random. selection of photos and pictures of the artists and locals connected with the pub, including Richard Hawley and Jools Holland.However, back to the grub, all that remains to say is that if you are looking for a traditional plate of Roast Beef and Yorkshire Pudding with a Pint of Beer you can't beat this for a Tenner(£10).There is a full and varied menu chalked up on the blackboard opposite the bar, including the biggest ''Allday Breakfast'' ever seen.Sunday lunch (12.00 to 2.30) and lunch times (12.00 to 3.00)and evenings Monday to Saturday (5.30 to 7.00) approx. You will probably be serenaded by background music usually Jazz/Blues or 50's/60's music.If you decide to give the Roast Beef a try give them a ring first so you don't miss out. Enjoy whatever you choose.

Good old Fagan’s. What is not to love about this place? Friendly, knowledgeable staff and a good beer make this a lovely place to visit if you prefer quieter, traditional pubs. Sadly, the Tetley’s has gone, the landlady told me that the Tetley’s brewery is now flats and the drink is brewed at the old Ind Coope brewery in Burton-on-Trent. I think I was drinking Thornton’s beer when I was there which was fine.All in all a good place and I hope it survives forever.

There are at least 500 pubs in and around Sheffield, but the number of unspoiled boozers can be counted on the fingers of one hand. Fagan's is one. It is one of those rare pubs where landlords stick around for decades.This is an isolated relic. It has a tiny snug and it isn't fancy. But neither has it had a pub kit of modern "relics" imposed upon it. There is genuine memorabilia on display. During the week you may well rub shoulders with some dignitary who was visiting Sheffield and had been taken to an authentic pub for lunch.My preference is a quiet Sunday. Sunday lunch is a massive plate full of home cooked uncomplicated food. Wash it down with a well kept pint of ale and chat with your friends. Your conversation not drowned out by Juke boxes or fruit machines. Tom, the landlord, will likely come over and chat and tell his jokes. He is a bit of a raconteur. Moderate prices and atmosphere. If you want tinsel and glitz go elsewhere. Please..

I couldn't fault either the food or drink. This is a typical Irish pub with friendly staff who have been resident here for many yearsIf you want a good pint of Guinness look no further.My only reservation about spending time here is that little has changed in terms of decor and it is looking a little tired now.

20 years ago we were regulars at Fagan's quiz, which we attended every Thursday evening. As part of a nostalgic trip back to Sheffield, we went back to Fagan's and we're delighted to find that not only were we welcomed as old friends by Tom and Barbara who are still the resident licencees, but there has been no discernible change in the pub. Two rooms and a very snug snug provide convivial space for a pint or three of Tetley's, Guinness or (and this is a change, added to the range some 12 years ago Tom says) Abbeydale Moonshine. The quiz is still fiendish, but a hidden theme always helps, and the food is satisfying, again to quote Tom "we don't do small"If you visit Sheffield and don't at least have a half in Fagan's you will have missed a treat, for the full monty, have one of the monster meat pies, followed by the Thursday quiz, or you could do the same on Sunday.

Firstly, this pub is fantastic - completely untouched by modern market forces that seem to encourage landlords and pubcos to fit a bland, modern identikit interior - probably hasn't changed since the 60s/70s, and it shouldn't - it should be preserved! Friendly and chatty old husband & wife running the place, and live music was on while we were there. The food portions are absolutely enormous, and all home made - I went for the steak & ale pie, and the meat inside was prime butchers-quality braising steak, absolutely delicious. Served with a mountain of chips and mushy peas... all of us were in food comas after the meal, such were the portions - great if you want comforting, warming food in winter. With the pie being £7 I expected it to be just the pie and no sides, but I was wrong - amazing value in a city centre location!

Lovely, friendly down to earth pub. The monk fish is amazing off the menu. Really good bar staff and the snug is brilliant.

Had read that this was one of the top 5 places in Sheffield for breakfast, so went to try it outFood was lovely - huge portion, but good quality and very nicely cooked.Landlord and landlady were both friendly and really helpful to a guy who came in to ask directionsWas a lovely traditional pub

This is as genuine as city pubs get - real nicotine stains on all walls and ceilings, out-of-this-world music most days (catch Pat Walker's sold-to-the devil fiddle playing, Shaun Hutch's guitar and vocals or Tecwen Whittock's angelic singing if you can). Eclectic clientele, great beer and a gent of a landlord who is as much of an institution as the eponymous Mr F himself. Try it if you haven't been, see you back there soon if you are a convert!

Landlord is hands down the rudest man I have ever met, and so was his son. Pub is smelly, small dark and unhygienic. Kitchen is filthy. If you are reading this and thinking of heading to this pub; don't. Same crowd every night and new comers are not welcome, come in on the wrong night you will be very rudely refused service.

Fagans is a proper pub. The fact that it has looked exactly the same for the last 20 or more years adds to its quality and their is no finer pint of Guinness in Sheffield !! It's perfect for the back room music sessions and you may get to see some Sheffield music legends enjoying a proper pint in a proper pub. Long live Fagans and may you never change !!

Popped into the famous Fagan's after being recommended by a friend. Had the pie and it did not disappoint; I was full for days! Great ale, great traditional feel to the pub and a lovely landlord and lady. As every good pub should have, a friendly dog to pet.

I regularly visit Fagans. The Moonshine and Guiness are to die for.The food is lovely, home cooked, giant portions of some of the nations favourites. Un-beatable value for money.Can't see how anyone could say its not a friendly place. Every time I have visited I have received a warm welcome and friendly service.

Great little pub, serves great real ales, and the steak pie is to die for, but it's HUGE so go with a big appetite. The landlord is scary at first, but under his persona he's a pussycat really...

Me and a friend dropped in for lunch after our dissertation VIVA's for a relaxing meal. The pub itself was family run and it had a lovely traditional feel to it which we really enjoyed. The owner, Fagan was lovely, friendly and outgoing who came over and had a lot of friendly conversations with us while we were waiting for our meal. We both had steak pie, chips and mushy peas- the portions were huge, but very tasty and gourmet. I would definitely recommend this to anyone.

Best full English in Sheffield! The pub it's self isn't fancy but good beer and food make up for that!

Always a friendly greeting from the landlord (so different to the Fagan after whom the pub was named!), and a small range of well-kept beers. Occasional folk music sessions, and a mixed clientele of old-timers, discerning students and the odd well-known musician. Try and get the Snug is you can, which has a door on the right as you go in.

If you drink ice-cold American Budweiser, and think a tofu wrap is lunch, then you need to get yourself down to Fagans, and sort your life out.A wide range of real ales and beers on tap, including one of the best pints of Guinness in Sheffield, plus the benefit of tasty, good value, home-cooked food, make this somewhere special to relax.The landlord and landlady, and their staff, are always ready with a genuine welcome, and a true Yorkshire quip if you take yourself too seriously!Trendy bars come and go, Fagans lives on, long may it remain so.

Its a nice pub that does nice beer (we didn't order any food). Unfortunately its a bit run down, with damaged furniture. And the toilets! Ugh! Lock broken, stainless steel sink you'd see in a municipal loo. Good job the beer was good, and I enjoyed the folk music.

Visited here with some friends from America to give them the feel of a traditional British pub and the place did not disappoint! Great beer, good service and possibly the best breakfast I have ever had! A huge traditional fry up which was perfect for our hangovers. Basic pub food but done well!

Do you like thick, creamy and delicious Guinness? Do you enjoy a fresh but hearty expertly cooked roast beef dinner? And, enjoy a warm, traditional pub setting? Fagan's provides that and more.. The service is friendly, genuine and efficient. The roast beef succulent, the fish and chips perfection, the Guinness just wonderful, and the environment ideal. A great, great place that should not change a single thing.Ps- Price wise it's bob on too.

Really friendly polite service. Had a all day brekfast it was huge! Fresh quality ingredients real value for your money!! Lovely :)

If you like a throw back to the old ways and an idea how a pub used to be get to fagans. Nothing much has changed here for a long time. And I hope it never does. I'm originally from Ireland and this reminds me of the little pubs in the country side when I was growing up. The food is plentiful and of a decent quality. The Guinness is the best in Sheffield. The live music and the atmosphere when you get a few in is buzzing. This is how it should be done and long may Tom and his family keep it that way.

This pub needs to be visited, its cool, its got good beer, its got music, on and on its just then place, just around the corner from Seven Spices.

I have visited Fagan's for many years, usually at lunchtime but also in the evening. It's an old-fashioned pub with great beer, food and atmosphere. Everyone I have ever taken there has loved it for what it is: itself.

Friendly old favourite pub a few mins walk from the city centre. Renowned for good beer and very reasonably priced menu of good home cooked food. Love going there, staff always friendly and welcoming.

A back street pub low on atmosphere with a landlord in true Basil Fawlty style who favours the few and ignores the rest. In times gone by the pub had a great reputation for traditional music however the current crop of musicians who attend the sessions are not inclusive, ignore new customers and are average performers.Gardners Rest and The Grapes are better options.

My grandpa's favourite haunt when he was alive and I can see why. Although only small, its relaxed environment creates a lovely atmosphere and is well worth a visit!

Stick to plain English fayre and you won't be disappointed, step off the reservation into owt fancy and your likely to end up wi egg on tha face, which is ironic as anything with egg in the menu is usually great.The staff are easy going and congenial and the all day breakfast is so big there should be a free tee shirt if you eat all of it. The decor is out of the 1960's but so what, if that breakfast turns up who cares. Don't change a thing.

Myself and my partner regularly top off our visits to Sheffield with a cosy few hours in Fagan's. The food is impeccable, if you're proper folk, the portions are not for the faint-hearted, but it's hearty, good quality home-cooked grub. On previous occasions we've had pies, vegetable curry and most recently a beautiful sausage and sautéed potato and veg dish which blew my mind, my partner chose the black pudding, bacon and apple.It's great value with lovely hosts and a homely feel, we just love spending time there!

This pub is wonderful. I discovered it when I was studying in Sheffield, and have been going back ever since. I now live in Manchester, but fairly often make the trip across the Peak District- sometimes I fill a car with friends and go over just for a Sunday evening to go to the pub quiz! This may sound ridiculous, but it's always worth it. There's a great community spirit (increasingly hard to find at pubs these days). The quiz is so difficult that we've never got more than half of the questions right, but it's fun to have a go. Tom, the landlord, puts out a wonderful spread of food on the bar when the quiz is over - things like cheeses and meats and bread. Delicious.The main menu of food is also fantastic, but I will warn you now... the portions are MASSIVE! Rumour has it there there is a fine for every item left on the plate if you fail to finish the Full English Breakfast. And the Sunday Roasts are so popular that you have to get your order in at least a day in advance! It's really great home cooked pub grub. Comfort food! Things like pie, curry, ploughmans, steak, but also some lighter options like hummus + pitta bread and fish dishes. And of course, you should always make use of the trusty bottle of Henderson's Relish nestled among the somewhat impressive tray of condiments. It's also unbeatable value for money, with some of the big evening meals priced around the £6 mark! Here you will find the finest pint of Tetley's that you ever did taste. It is very well kept beer. Or Moonshine- the light local ale. It's a lovely characterful pub. The brilliant artwork of Pete Mckee can be seen on the walls (and I notice there is now a huge new painting on the side of the building). There are two larger rooms and a very cute little 'snug' the other side of the bar. Some great folk musicians often grace the second big room with their music. It always appears like a quite spontaneous jamming session. I love sitting in the main room and listening to it- it's audible but you can still easily hold a conversation. I've spent many happy hours sitting there with a pint. Basically...this pub is perfection.

I've visited this gem of a pub only a couple of times but it is a splendid establishment with the Tetleys tasting like when it was brewed in Leeds. On my first visit I enjoyed a ploughmans (£5.99) which was enough for two people - It came with 4 types of cheese, a babybell and a dairylea triangle along with lovely bread, ham, a pickled onion and a pork pie. I went in on Saturday to look at the Pete Mckee mural on the wall outside and there was a couple of blokes playing Bowie songs on guitar, was very good. There's also plenty of Richard Hawley memorabillia dotted around. I imaginw if you went in on your own, someone would befriend you - it's a pub typical of Sheffield really, quite inquisitive, gentle and friendly.All in all, this an old fashioned pub ran by a landlord who cares about his food and ale, with a caring, pleasant atmosphere.

Went in for a quick pint and some food for lunch. Amazed by the quantity and quality of the food available for around £6. I had steak and ale pie with chips and my friend had the chilli.The pie was excellent. None of the usual tasteless pastry over a bowl of gravy with a few lumps of fatty gristle in. So much tasty steak I could hardly believe it. Huge chunky chips that were not greasy in the slightest.Nicked a bit of my friend's chilli too which was also excellent. Will definitely be paying another visit.As in the previous review, the décor is tired. If you go to this place it is for the food and beer, not for the decoration! But what does a bit of paint and a nice carpet mean when you can have pie like this :)

I have visited this pub many times over the years. It has been managed by host Tom for a long while.The decor can seem a bit tired to some tastes, but most of it's customers are unconcerned by this. The staff are friendly and attract a good mix of customers of all ages. There is usually a beer from the local Abbeydale brewery on tap.The pub is known for it's lunchtime blackboard food. Portions are generous, using fresh locally bought produce where possible and are very good value at £4 to £6.I would particularly recommenf the Cod Loin with chips, peas, bread and butterr. The cooked breakfast (served lunctimes) is huge and should only be ordered by customers with large apetites and consists of bacon, sausage, black pudding, tomato, beans, mushrooms, fried egg, chips and toast.
