My first possibility was “The slow, sad decline of midweek drinking“, a rumination on the emptiness of pubs outside the weekend rush (see also: Life After Football). Plenty of pubs round me, of course, and as you’ll know I intend to visit EVERY one of them on foot, even though that’ll muck up my GBG… Continue reading TREATED LIKE ROYALTY IN SUBURBAN SHEFFIELD

ALL THE PUBS IN SHEFFIELD ON FOOT No. 48
“Oooh, that looks nice” said Mrs RM, as we headed home from Perch past the Emergency Services Museum. ALL THE PUBS IN SHEFFIELD ON FOOT No. 48 – The Bar Stewards In truth, I’d had enough beer for one day, but Mrs RM never takes “No” for an answer does she folks ? So just… Continue reading ALL THE PUBS IN SHEFFIELD ON FOOT No. 48
PERCH – ON THE EDGE
Calm down, calm down. There’s plenty of Stella left. My next post, from the Saturday evening after watching City bash Arsenal 5-0 and still seeing our fans complain on Blue Moon, was a night out with Mrs RM to visit ANOTHER new Sheffield pub. Look how far I made her walk; Actually, I must have… Continue reading PERCH – ON THE EDGE
TOP 100 PUBS – THE BLAKE HOTEL, SHEFFIELD
It’s a year since we made an offer for our house in Sheffield, starting four months of house moving torment, mostly involving overhanging trees and solicitors who didn’t answer correspondence. Stay put, kids. On our house-hunting mission I’d noted the closeness of the Blake Hotel, one of Sheffield’s most celebrated ale houses. But Mrs RM… Continue reading TOP 100 PUBS – THE BLAKE HOTEL, SHEFFIELD
FULWOOD ALE CLUB
“Every Pub In Sheffield On Foot” sounds easy, till you look at my next pre-emptive trek. See how the blue dots eat up 2:27 hours but barely scratch the surface of the city. Fulwood is a suburb on the western edge of the Porter Valley, just shy of the Peak District boundary, home to Hallam… Continue reading FULWOOD ALE CLUB
‘ROUND MIDNIGHT, IN THE CROW
The WHOLE world (except the Southworths) is descending on Sheffield at the moment, drawn in by tricky GBG ticks, artisanal burgers and obscure football grounds. Luckily, Sheffield is cheap, with £31 Travelodges and free camping in our garden if you bring your own potty. In contrast, these were the CHEAPEST rooms available in That Manchester… Continue reading ‘ROUND MIDNIGHT, IN THE CROW
TOP 100 PUBS – THE GARDENER’S REST, SHEFFIELD
The only problem with the thirds sampling at Heist is that you’re always going to want to finish the night afternoon with a pint in a Proper Pub. Luckily, the Gardener’s Rest is literally next door. ALL THE PUBS IN SHEFFIELD ON FOOT No. 45 – Gardener’s Rest, Kelham Island I’d been walking over Rutland… Continue reading TOP 100 PUBS – THE GARDENER’S REST, SHEFFIELD
IT’S A HEIST !
Sheffield has another new destination beer place in Kelham Island. ALL THE PUBS IN SHEFFIELD ON FOOT No. 44 – Heist, Kelham Island I’d been walking past Heist‘s premises, next to the Gardener’s Rest, for months, desperate to bring you a report from a large industrial unit with thirty (30) keg taps and a shuffle… Continue reading IT’S A HEIST !
HIDDEN SHEFFIELD
Matthew moved into a new home in Manchester today. I’m helping him bring his vinyl over tomorrow, and will no doubt get some visits to a new place in, possibly Wigan. He’s just sent me this pic of his lunchtime curry, which could be a bit too smart for This & That, Dave will know.… Continue reading HIDDEN SHEFFIELD
ALBION
You left me with a tummy full of curry, contemplating a long walk into Norton Woodseats, but then noticing Stockport John’s tweets from his own recent tour of Sheffield; Oh, why not. Got to be done some time, a possible pre-emptive tick, and the Railway Hotel near the United ground doesn’t look like it’s opening… Continue reading ALBION
