April 2025. Sheffield. Since returning from Moldova 4 weeks ago I’ve published 65 blog posts, most of those from Wolverhampton. Mrs RM is still working on her first one, she’s Kate Bush to my Mark E Smith. Hers is going to be great, but she needs me to GTFO the house so she can discuss… Continue reading DISAPPEARING PUB LUNCHES IN SHEFFIELD

“When you were sweet 16”
Apologies to subscribers for the lack of a post yesterday. I’m currently in a field, in Wiltshire, like in the Pulp song. No e’s and whizz or WiFi. Except in the craft bar with it’s £7.50 pints from Lost and Grounded. Cunning, eh? A last pre-End of the Road pint with Will, who is a… Continue reading “When you were sweet 16”
HENDOS ON EVERYTHING
August 2023. Sheffield. Breaking news overnight, as it emerges that Dave “US” Southworth, on “vacation” (holiday) in Kansas, has never (zero times) seen The Wizard of Oz. Along with Ferris Buellers Day Off, I’d assumed that Oz was prescribed viewing for all Americans, along with baggy “pants” and the consumption of grits at Denny’s. You… Continue reading HENDOS ON EVERYTHING
WILL MAKES THE CASE FOR THE HEMEL HEMPSTEAD MAGIC ROUNDABOUT
1st December 2022. We should have called this little Sheffield pub crawl of unsung boozers something memorable like “Tipsy Thursday Trio” or “West Street Wobble” or whatever but then we’d breach CAMRA’s stringent rules on not taking the tutored tasting of ale and cultured exploration of public houses seriously and Mrs RM would be struck… Continue reading WILL MAKES THE CASE FOR THE HEMEL HEMPSTEAD MAGIC ROUNDABOUT

BAXENDEN – MORE THAN JUST THE HOME OF HOLLAND’S PIES
Let’s press on, the Black Dog was a bit depressing, and head to another tick in Greater Accrington. Apart from glorious countryside, Baxenden is best known as the home of Hollands. I somehow missed this post-retirement job opportunity; The Dog & Partridge is yet more proof that there’s more to the 2021 GBG than brewery… Continue reading BAXENDEN – MORE THAN JUST THE HOME OF HOLLAND’S PIES
PROPER BENCH SEATING AT THE DOG & PARTRIDGE
Having felt a bit depressed by the whole Meadowhell experience, I thought I’d nip into town for another Sheffield Beer Guide revisit. ALL THE PUBS IN SHEFFIELD ON FOOT No. 28 – Dog & Partridge The Dog & Partridge, a few streets behind the Cathedral, was rather quieter than on my first visit in late… Continue reading PROPER BENCH SEATING AT THE DOG & PARTRIDGE
ROLE PLAYING SHEFFIELD STUDENTS & “MANEATER” & HIGH TABLES
Well, I survived IndyMan for another year, thanks to the company of John from Donny and a lovely young couple from Stockport (yes, there are young people in Stockport). I bet you can’t wait for my detailed tasting notes for all those awesome beers. But first, more Proper Pubs from last week’s Sheffield saunter.… Continue reading ROLE PLAYING SHEFFIELD STUDENTS & “MANEATER” & HIGH TABLES
