jomarch Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 It became a pub, but can't remember the name. Had a couple of meals there but not for a long time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubydazzler Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 If you type 'Fiveways Motel' into Search, you'll get loads of threads that mention it. Including one by your very own self! We used to drive out there after closing time in Sheffield, it was ok as the 5ways but then it turned into Fannys (a poor man's Playboy copy) and became really naff. Nothing bettered the Nether Edge TurnUps, imo. The ideal pub cum disco for the slightly older crowd. We had some good nights in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike-s Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 Had some great nights at fiveways mid 70s, because of its location it did'nt seem to attract the yob element and always had a good crowd. Remember the pie & peas served through the hatch at 11.00!. Had a real good snog one night with a gorgeous girl who afterwards told me she had chicken pox- within three days I was bedridden!, still rather that type of pox than the other!!.

Fantasia X Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 It's the Moorlands now and in my opinion a load of tripe, wish it was still Fannys... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daftlad Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 It's the Moorlands now and in my opinion a load of tripe, wish it was still Fannys... i worked there when it was Fannys, but that when it was under the first owners, Gerry and Paula Palfreyman.

I think the barmaid was called Avril Ball...I remember the Palfreymans. i worked in the actual club itself, not the restaurant. The cocktail people in the club was Nigel, Mike and myself before the Vickers took over. They just wanted all female staff. i left there and went to work in the pubs in the town centre. Gerry Pafreyman was a good bloke, i liked him, he was a good man to work for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
