Rocklegend Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 I frequent the KIT but had to laugh on Look North when Dave the barman said that there's always a welcoming smile to greet u when u get served.I take it he wasn't talking about himself...

BasilRathbon Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Does anyone remember the Kelham Island in its former incarnation as The White Hart? My dad used to take me and my brother there to play pool in the upstairs room back in the 1980s and, to say it was a bit of a dive, was putting it mildly. At one point they hired out the pool room for a heavy metal band to rehearse but still allowed punters to play pool around them - it was a bit inconvenient but at least it muffled the sound of the drunks fighting and glassing each other downstairs. How times have changed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, Dave does get service with a smile... And to be fair when he is serving others he smiles whilst insulting them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy C Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Yes, good to see the national winner in Sheffield. The Kelham is a great pub and ticks all the boxes - excellent and varied beer range kept in top condition, good friendly staff, a good cross section of customers who will chat to each other and help create a great atmosphere, consumer and community friendly, clean and well presented and a nice outdoor area. The Kelham was voted the Sheffield winner by local CAMRA members and it was then put forward as Sheffield's entry, which then won the Yorkshire competion and the rounds beyond that too. From county level upwards pubs are judged by mystery shoppers judging the pub against set criteria. Now the 2008 award is presented, the search now begins for a 2009 winner. First of all the Sheffield & District branch of CAMRA need to select their entry in the Yorkshire competition and Derbyshire competition. If you are a member of the local CAMRA branch you will receive a voting paper through the post in the next few days (along with an invite to the branch AGM). Eligible pubs are those that have won a pub of the month award and those in the Good Beer Guide.
