5th February 2023. A tip for all you pub bloggers out there. Let your posting slip for just a moment and you’ll be a week behind again. Three posts daily does it. Another top tip is “Don’t worry about there being more than a thousand pubs in your Top 100 pubs“. No-one can prove you… Continue reading TOP 100 PUBS – THE WHITE LION, SHEFFIELD

TICKERS’ DILEMMA AT THE TWO THIRDS
5th February 2023. Back in Sheffield from the Peak District, I was just about to turn my attention to the state of the garden (honest, Mrs RM) when fellow ticker Jim B (not the Beach Boys song messaged to say he was touring the area and would I like to join him for a pre-emptive… Continue reading TICKERS’ DILEMMA AT THE TWO THIRDS
COBS, BAPS, BREAD ROLLS etc etc
3rd February 2023. Mrs RM was still hungry after her Sheffield Bao Bun, so we popped in the Wellington for a beer. Oh no, the strong one. Now, the Welly is probably the least likely place in Sheffield for a gourmet tea, but the new menu seemed pretty much perfect. Can that really be a… Continue reading COBS, BAPS, BREAD ROLLS etc etc
…AND A NIGHT OUT IN SHEFFIELD (PART 377 – THE CIDER HOLE)
3rd February 2023. Mrs RM has just sent me this photo from the first night of her IT assignment in Eindhoven. Yes, I am jealous. Back home in Sheffield for the first time in a week I thought I’d better drag the hardworking IT consultant out for a night on the town; it’s what we… Continue reading …AND A NIGHT OUT IN SHEFFIELD (PART 377 – THE CIDER HOLE)
CRYSTAL CLEAR
25th January 2023. My eldest lad lives mere yards from one of the UK’s best pubs. I reckon he could get to the Blake Hotel in a minute from his front door; another five would see him inside the Blind Monkey. If I couldn’t say the same myself, in reverse, I’d be jealous of him.… Continue reading CRYSTAL CLEAR
A MUSICAL EDUCATION IN KELHAM’S HAPPY BAR
25th January 2023. There’s much discussion of pub and brewery closure on CAMRA’s Discourse (think MumsNet for beery blokes) at the moment. As the thousand or so CAMRAs (or is it Camras, or CamRAs ?) who descend on Sheffield in April for their AGM will find out, pub numbers seem to be holding up OK.… Continue reading A MUSICAL EDUCATION IN KELHAM’S HAPPY BAR
GOOD NEWS FOR CURRY CONNOISSEURS AHEAD OF THE SHEFFIELD CAMRA AGM
22nd January 2023. A curry special for the Southworths, who appreciate this sort of thing. As does Curry Heute, whose take on Sheffield hasn’t had great things to say about our curry scene over the years, bar the little Apna Style. We have great Asian food here, and proper pub food under a tenner, and… Continue reading GOOD NEWS FOR CURRY CONNOISSEURS AHEAD OF THE SHEFFIELD CAMRA AGM
LOOK WHO’S COME TO THE BLIND MONKEY !
20th January 2023. Yes, ANOTHER Friday spent at home; what is going on at 2023. But I had good reason to stay put, and in any case Sheffield was now the most popular place on earth according to Time Out, which I appreciate none of you have read since about 2002. To be honest it’s… Continue reading LOOK WHO’S COME TO THE BLIND MONKEY !
A DEYA IN THE LIFE
17th January 2023. As the song goes, “Sheffield, so much to answer for“. I’d never have moved from Cambridge if I’d known there were pubs on every street corner here, pubs that will probably never grace the Good Book, but are are as essential as anything in the rest of the UK. And I still… Continue reading A DEYA IN THE LIFE
THE UNION HOTEL HIGHLIGHTS SHEFFIELD’S STRENGTH IN DEPTH
17th January 2023. Late last year Boak & Bailey visited Sheffield and lauded the Union Hotel, making it their Pub of the Year. I’d never heard of it, but then it hasn’t graced the GBG in the 25 years I’ve been visiting the city, and I’ve made only steady progress walking out to the unheralded… Continue reading THE UNION HOTEL HIGHLIGHTS SHEFFIELD’S STRENGTH IN DEPTH
