Sheaf View
, Gleadless Road
Previously a failed, closed and boarded up Marstons pub, James Birkett bought the pub in 2000 and transformed it. Two rooms, both clean and simple, good range of real ales and continentel beers at reasonable prices, knowledgable staff and an outdoor drinking area. There have been few substantial changes to the winning formula in the last 19 years, the most notable is that the house beers are now from Neepsend Brewery, which is owned by the same people.
