Leah-Lacie Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Flyer says 'bar snacks available every day and pork sandwiches Saturday' - no full food service though and no Sunday lunch. Posted from Sheffieldforum.co.uk App for Android Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alas_alas Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 They've done a great job with renovating this place. Although it's not a departure of any kind from the Thornbridge blueprint, the pub building itself has tonnes of character. Residents fearing the worst should probably rest easy that the kind of punters that gravitated towards the place before will most likely be very much put off by the floral wallpaper for a start! The family-friendly mini play park in the back should also attract in a new clientele. Maybe the other pubs in the area will eventually follow suit and up their game? Someone mentioned further up this thread that the Prince of Wales has been taken on by new management, but from my last visit it still comes across as completely off-limits to a peaceable beer-drinker! I'd be interested to know what others think of the official opening tonight... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jemson Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Thought it looked pretty tidy and the floral wallpaper worked for me, but I`m no expert. And beer seemed better than Beauchief upon opening! Craven Silk, Bro Rabbit, Wild Swan, Jaipur, Bath`s Barnsey and Dark Star Espresso. Quite a few bottles (Goose Island, etc) but not the `top end` Thornbridge. And a dart board!

Shame about Prince it could be great It was refurbed just before the take over, and a very cheap beer deal brought in, and TVs with sport and all that attracted a younger crowd. The landlord hated it and left. When it was taken over by the guy who owns the Chantrey and white lion big changes were expected but never happened.

Posted from Sheffieldforum.co.uk App for Android That's a shame, Chantrey, it's an OK pub, but like Prince it could be a great pub. They don't seem to realise that not everyone wants a group, singer or disco. I understand they make them money, but it alienates real alers, it come to something when you'd rather drink in a Wetherspoons!! The owner should look at Thornbridge as a template for what makes money, and it ain't multiple TV's,radio or even pool tables. Even real alers have standards.
