  • Pub of the Year 2019

     - Following suggestions that followed a motion at our branch AGM last year, we’ve made some changes to our Pub of the Year competition for this year in order to give a better chance of recognition to pubs outside the most visited locations (ie the City Centre and Kelham Island). As always, the qualifying pubs are … Continue reading Pub of the Year 2019 →

  • Pub of the Year 2018

     - It will come as no surprise to many that the winner of our Pub of the Year award for 2018, as voted for by branch members, is the Kelham Island Tavern on Russell Street. The pub was previously known as the White Hart and until Trevor and Lewis opened it in its current guise back … Continue reading Pub of the Year 2018 →

Diary

Here are the details of our branch meetings, socials and other activities for members coming up over the next month or two.

Branch meeting

8pm Tue 7 Jan

The usual monthly meeting where members get together to discuss branch business, share pub, club and brewery news and catch up on what is happening in the campaign. This month’s venue is TBC (possibly Rutland Arms).

Trip to Chantry Brewery

6pm Fri 10 Jan

We catch the tram-train from Sheffield Cathedral at 6pm through to Parkgate for a visit to Chantry Brewery. After visiting the brewery there is the option of a beer at the Little Haven micropub before jumping on a bus or tram into Rotherham town centre to visit a few pubs (depending on time) before heading back to Sheffield on the tram.

Tickets: for travel, there is a choice of Tram Only Dayrider (unlimited tram travel), Silver Dayrider (tram and Stagecoach buses) or South Yorkshire Connect (tram and any bus). They are available from tram conductors, bus drivers and the Stagecoach bus app. Please buy as appropriate for your needs! You do not need a ticket for the brewery visit, just pay for any beer you drink whilst there.

Festival planning meeting

8pm Tue 21 Jan

We start work planning our 46th annual Steel City Beer & Cider Festival. If you are interested in joining the organising committee please come along and meet us! Venue is the Gardeners Rest on Neepsend Lane in the upstairs room. Bus 7/8/8a stops outside the pub or Infirmary Road tram stop is about 5 minutes walk away.
