Sheffield City Council has approved planning permission for a revised proposal from Sainsburys to demolish the
Bradway Hotel and replace it with one of their local stores. The initial refusal of planning permission was because the external design of the store wasn’t an appropriate replacement of a landmark local building and didn’t fit with the area, councilors have declared the revised design acceptable. The pub has spent the last couple of years closed and boarded up after failing as an Enterprise Inns lease. This leaves two other pubs in Bradway, the
Castle Inn, also an Enterprise Inns pub and the
Old Mother Redcap, a Samuel Smiths tied pub.
An application has been submitted to transform the
Pheasant on Barnsley Road into a KFC outlet. The plans include a 49-space car park behind with access from Hatfield House Lane. The new building would have stone walls and a red aluminium entrance, plus large windows.
Beer Central is a new company and open along with all the other traders in the new Moor Market on Nov 25th – located in the very impressive main entrance (easy to dip in and out for a quick beer). It’s a small shop/stall (3m x 3m) but will have up to 2,000 bottles (400 different beers) at full capacity and customers will be able to walk in and browse. We’ll also have a commercial website for sales and delivery.
The range will include bottled beers (loads of bottle conditioned), 5L mini-casks, beer books/guides, beer branded clothing and some branded glassware. The beer will cover local brews (pretty much all of the dozens of breweries in and around Sheffield/South Yorkshire including Steel City, Imperial, Bradfield etc.), national UK beers to include Kernel, Magic Rock, Thornbridge, Buxton, Elland, Saltaire, Kirkstall, Bristol Beer Factory, Camden, Blue Monkey and loads more. The international stuff will mostly be from Belgium, Denmark, Norway, USA and a bit of craft stuff from Italy and anywhere else that fits the bill. We’ll have a small but select choice of cider. We’ll not be selling any drinks you can typically find in a supermarket, apart from maybe one or two bottles at the most.
Open as per the normal market hours 8.30am – 5.30pm six days per week plus Sundays and late nights seasonally.

Building work has finished on the conversion of the
Alexandra Hotel, at the junction of Exchange Place and Castlegate into a 23 apartment complex, complete with gym.
The
Wharncliffe Arms at Wharncliffe Side now has two regular Bradfield’s (
Blonde and
Brown Cow), a third Bradfield plus a random guest, recently Abbeydale
Absolution.
An extra hand pump will be installed in the near future. Gina and Simon who now run it are real ale converts and have also recently taken on The
Sportsman in Stannington, installing Bradfield
Blonde.
Sheffield Council’s planning board has approved proposals for the
Crossfield Tavern, (Mortomley Lane, High Green) to be converted into a house. The applicant said the pub’s owners, Punch Taverns, had struggled to find a tenant to make the venue viable.
Planning officers said: “The plans show no alterations to the building and, as such, it is considered there will be no impact on the street scene. As a single dwelling, it would have less impact on the locality than the current pub.”
The Old No7 in Barnsley hold their next beer festival from Thursday 28th November-1st December. Featured are over 20 cask ales, 10 cider/perry, kegged beer and bottles from around the world.
