Next up should have been the micropub in Brough which I know you’re desperate to read about, but on “Freedom Day” I have to bring you a report on my first trip to the bar in what seems like years. I was going to have a day off the beer as I mentally prepared for… Continue reading BACK TO THE BAR

HEAVEN IN THE HALLAMSHIRE HOUSE
Seven months in Sheffield, and there are STILL famous pub I’ve yet to (re)visit. After a few days recovering from BRAPA (3 months is recommended but 3 days had to suffice), I wandered down to Commonside for a 4pm Monday pint. Mrs RM was still in her “I’m tired of pubs” phase (it didn’t last),… Continue reading HEAVEN IN THE HALLAMSHIRE HOUSE
MORE GREAT SHEFFIELD PUBS TO AVOID THE FOOTBALL IN
A short diversion from the never-ending Scottish catch-up to be topical. “Oh look, there’s still tickets for the theatre at the Crucible tonight ! Shall we go ?” “Oh yes, perfect for avoiding the football on telly“. So THAT’S why there’s tickets left. A night out at the theatre, preceded by tea in a chain… Continue reading MORE GREAT SHEFFIELD PUBS TO AVOID THE FOOTBALL IN
IT’S COMING HOME
I don’t watch football on telly much, you can’t see the whole pitch and you don’t feel part of it, so tonight I found the pub in Sheffield that wasn’t showing the game; ALL THE PUBS IN SHEFFIELD No. 32 – The Kelham Island Tavern Goodness the Sheffield ring roads were busy tonight, everyone rushing… Continue reading IT’S COMING HOME
MADE IN SHEFFIELD
The last day of the in-laws’ fourteen (14) day stay, and as promised the Kelham Island pub. Kelham is an essential stop on any tourist’s trip, not just for the 37 varieties of pale beer but also to see proper industrial heritage. Look at that “&”. Luckily the Kelham Island Museum had just re-opened, so… Continue reading MADE IN SHEFFIELD
“Yes. Of COURSE we know how to eat Eritrean food”.
Having your in-laws over for fourteen (14) days leaves you on edge, as you have to be available at all hours to hoover, clean and provide taxi services. I’d been encouraging Mrs RM to take them out to Sheffield’s many authentic ethnic restaurants serving pie and chips or fish and chips. On Monday evening, after… Continue reading “Yes. Of COURSE we know how to eat Eritrean food”.
The Bessemer, No.1 pub in Sheffield (on What Pub)
Tonight’s bonus blog post is about search engine terms. I always wonder how some folk reach my blog through Google. Do they type in “Great pub blogging“, or “DIY tips“, or “unlistenable modern music suggestions” ? Apparently not. These are the four largest discrete search terms on retiredmartin this month; I like the idea of… Continue reading The Bessemer, No.1 pub in Sheffield (on What Pub)
NATTER WITH THE HATTER
Some more nice pubs exteriors, and interiors, for you, as I continue my attempt to do all the pubs in Sheffield as well as all the pubs in the Beer Guide. I won’t get very far if I keep making return visits to the same pubs, though. But as I mentioned yesterday, I’m focusing on… Continue reading NATTER WITH THE HATTER
INTO THE EYE OF THE STORM
Before we start, I thought you’d like to see a Sheffield sunset from the top of the hill outside our house next to the Blind Monkey. If you’re lucky I’ll bring you a “hill and pub” guide to all the locations used in “The Full Monty“. My in-laws certainly got the best of the Great… Continue reading INTO THE EYE OF THE STORM
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
