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.

The Florist, Walkley Road is now open following refurbishment but no real ale available. Just round the corner in Palm Street, the Palm Tree Tavern is selling Tetley Bitter and a rotating guest beer, recently Draught Bass but now Bradfield Farmer’s Blonde. After 7pm Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday there is free snooker, open mic night on Thursday with live entertainment alternate Saturdays.
