Branch members attending the November branch meeting received a warm welcome from management at the Lord Nelson on Arundel Street. Fanny’s as the pub is affectionately known, is a small traditional pub a little off the beaten track. It is very much a Sheffield United pub situated fairly near to Bramall Lane. By coincidence United were playing that evening, away at Coventry, the match being televised. We were allowed use of the upstairs function room, and those of us interested could follow the match on the big screen.
On the night 4 traditional ales were available including Osset White Rat and draught Bass. Members also enjoyed some very nice pork pie compliments of the management.
All in all, a very enjoyable evening, apart from the football, as the Blades lost 3-1!
Notwithstanding that I am sure that many members will be making a return visit in the near future.
