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
APNA STYLE – VERY HANDI
Enough pictures of beer. Let’s do a curry. As always, let Glaswegian legend Curry Heute be your guide. His website is to Chicken Dhansak what BRAPA is to John Smiths Smooth. But he’s little positive to say about Sheffield, and to be honest there do seem to be far more Chinese than Indian/Bangladeshi options in… Continue reading APNA STYLE – VERY HANDI
BAD KITTY, ITCHY PIG
A Tuesday without a new GBG tick, felt like a Tuesday wasted. And who know how many more Tuesdays we have, eh ? I went for a long aimless walk through Crookes cemetery and unexpectedly found myself outside a GBG pub just as the showers started. Simon hasn’t made the Itchy Pig yet, so treat… Continue reading BAD KITTY, ITCHY PIG
PUNK’S NOT DEAD
Stop No.2 on the Sheffield Tramlines Festival Fringe was the Frog & Parrot which I’d skipped to avoid embarrassing myself in front of BRAPA in June. BRAPA would never embarrass himself while drunk, right ? Oh look, there’s a bloke reflected in the mirror taking surreptitious photos on his phone in a pub. The Frog… Continue reading PUNK’S NOT DEAD
NERVOUS PILLS AT THE WASHINGTON
I have two main rules for choosing my gigs; Where possible, only listen to music written that very morning. Give bands that play their old stuff a wide berth. NEVER watch a band that starts songs “1, 2, 3, 4”. Avoid any gig where the audience members are wearing “Friends” T-shirts, ironically or not. So… Continue reading NERVOUS PILLS AT THE WASHINGTON
CASK KIDZ
If you can’t use your children to promote your own blog, what use are they ? Both of our lads came over for the Sheffield Tramlines Festival last week. They must have been desperate for something to do, as the line-up struck me as old skool. In a bad way. Mrs RM went with the… Continue reading CASK KIDZ
THE BAR IS THE HEART OF THE PUB
You’ve heard about Monday the 19th, “Freedom Day”, spent on my own doorstep at the Blind Monkey. It was wonderful to get back to the bar to but my own pint and then not be disturbed by people continually coming over to my table to bring drinks, take cask, bring change and ask if I… Continue reading THE BAR IS THE HEART OF THE PUB
HAZY JANE
Unfortunately this blog doesn’t yet come in a Scratch ‘n’ Sniff version that tells you the temperature, so as the rain returns today you might not believe how hot it’s been ‘oop north this month. After declaring our totals for the Bear Hunt, and deciding to save the rest of those ticks for a cooler… Continue reading HAZY JANE
