gularscute Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 ... the Newsagent on Derbyshire Lane... Does the Asian fellow who looks like Dracula still run it? I used to go in there a lot in my Norton Lees Rd days but that was 15 years ago and he was getting on a bit then. Nice guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zanylany Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 I always fine Wetherspoons O k too. Nice food in general and very reasonable priced Camragirl and I have just moved into the S8 area and are on the hunt for decent local pubs for the odd evening when we are not decorating. Our nearest decent place appears to be the Mount Pleasant on Derbyshire lane, which is friendly and has at least two beers in it we would drink. We know and like the Sheaf View and have just found the White Lion which had a good selection. The Ale house on Fraser is a bit of a hike for us, but it was friendly and had also a good beer range. Are there others we have obviously missed in walking or short bus distance? For us a good pint will not have come from the Tetleys or John Smiths stable, but will either be one of the local independents (Kelham, Brew Company, Steel City etc) or the slightly larger, but still independent, such as Thornbridge. Basically, somewhere committed to the beer they sell rather than food or Sky sports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only think you mean Mr Khan:hihi: Yes, he's still at the corner convenience shop but the Newsagent in question is a few doors down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have the wrong shop, its the one further down the row of shops not the one on the corner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravity426 Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 +1 for Mount Pleasant. Nice little boozer with a good, changing range of ales, eccentric locals and landlord, but always welcoming. A good old pub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerbyTup Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Buxton Imperial Black IPA is even better then their imperial stout IMHO! I have bottles of Axe Edge and High Tor waiting to be drunk at home. Buxton is my favourite too. I like Wild Boar and Axe Edge best. Have you/anyone found any pubs selling Buxton beers on draught? I'd be really interested to know. I'd travel up to an hour each way just to go drink some. The Rutland Arms in Chesterfield used to have it regular - but they seem to have stopped doing it now - guess there must have been some fall out with the brewers or maybe a new owner? The other place I've seen it is the Devonshire Arms at Beeley. But never in Sheffield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dada Bar are quite keen on Buxton, have had their beers on cask before and also have some of their bottles in the fridge. Sheffield Tap have their stuff on once every so often. The bottles I have were purchased at the Beer Parlour in Chesterfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gularscute Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 You have the wrong shop, its the one further down the row of shops not the one on the corner. Of course. A youthful dalliance with barley wine does nothing for the memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
