alchresearch Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Visit the beer shop on Monday, I should be taking over some new stock this weekend. My personal recommendations - Peerless Oatmeal Stout and Peerless Red Rocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cuttsie Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Why? They moved it to the end of the city where shopping takes place. Castlegate is dead. Its not a viable retail area any more. Over the next few months/year the rest of the stores will follow to the opposite side of town. The hub of the city retail will be centred around Fargate, Pinstone Street and the Moor. The new shopping/leisure developments are going to be built in the streets linking those said areas. If there is genuine belief that markets are supposed to be integrated into a shopping hub as they are in every other city - why on earth would they leave it around Castlegate or even worse on a piece of land off park sq just in the middle of nowhere. All this talk about sacred trading sites and traditions is just nonesense. Cities evolve. The purpose of Castlegate/Snig Hill/Dixon Lane is changing. Time to get with the times. In almost every City on Earth the Market area is sacrosanct to the area where it was established at the time that the area were first populated. We all know these area's as we travel through life from Barnsley to Benidorm From Turin to Torquay the Market area is the Market area. Except in Sheffield that is! where a load of nut cases would rather look at a pile of rubble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanielBlade Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 It's alright. 17 butchers and 2 fishmongers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taxman Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 No cabbage and potato pie from the Russian stall today, but I did pick up a Tripple Chocolate Stout and Hazelnut and Coffee Porter, both from Saltaire brewery. Who needs food when there is beer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alchresearch Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Exactly, especially when the heavy dark malty beers are a meal in themselves! If you can, try and get hold of a beer called Kitty Wilkinson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vincentb Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 There's a chinese lady at a stall selling fresh portuguese-style custard tarts (still hot from the oven). Highly recommended! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lil-minx92 Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Ok been through today and for the people that wanted to know about the beershop. 1. Confirm he will not even attempt to compete with Sainsburys or the supermarkets. He has plenty of range of less well known beers and stocks what they do not. 2. The couple are friendly and receptive to ideas. There was someone grinning in the shop which was a bit odd and offputting....3. He will have a fully interactive website in the new year. That should mean you cna order and pay for online as well as pickup. Not sure about order and delivered from online. 4. His email address is sean@beercentral.co.uk and the phone is 01142 755990. ???????????????????????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feline01 Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Does anyone know if the Market is opening on a Sunday on the lead up to Christmas? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEDROCK Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Does anyone know if the Market is opening on a Sunday on the lead up to Christmas? Thanks Yes it is but don't know the dates, I think it is week before Xmas, why not ask them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReginaldD Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Yes it is but don't know the dates, I think it is week before Xmas, why not ask them? Not very helpful is it BEDROCK According to this https://www.sheffield.gov.uk/business-economy/markets/moor-market.html the markets are usually closed on Sunday so I'd assume it'd be closed the Sunday before Christmas too.
