The Blake Hotel towered (literally) above its North Sheffield rivals to win the Pub of the Year 2024 (North) on Thursday 18 July.
Situated at the top of one of Sheffield’s steepest hills, the Blake serves a range of six-seven cask ales to both regulars, and younger student drinkers. You can even take your pooch with you. There is also a large range of single malts and rums for the spirits connoisseur. Outside sees a nice beer garden to enjoy the sun.
In 2009, the pub was resurrected from it being boarded up. The cellar was dug out, the floor relaid and the décor revived. It is now a traditional local, without the usual trappings such as trinkets and horse brasses.
The pub serves a very good range of casks ales, at reasonable prices. There are also pork pies to accompany the beer.
