The Plough-sandygate

[Ade65]

have to check this out......used to be a lovely place once

 

Still very quiet apart from Thurs and Sun for the quizzes; both good nights, rest of the time it's almost dead, sadly.

Given they have been successful in the application to have the pub listed as a community asset, I don't think it will be a supermarket anytime soon.

 

Does need work to get people in though.

 

The community asset thing will cause a delay of the inevitable but rarely amounts to the intended result. As soon as the local activists are asked to chuck some money into the purchase it all becomes very real and they retreat back into the background.

I would think needs a lot of investment a good manager and some luck to make it work.

 

If they just opened the doors again then I would say very little chance of success.

 

How many times has it opened and shut in the last few years.

 

Also there's hardly a shortage of good pubs not too far away.

 

Wish it luck though.

I disagree with the fact that there's a lot of other decent pubs round there. I think crosspool / lodge moor is crying out for a good drinkers pub. Maybe with some bar food.

 

I'd go down the rising sun at nether green route and try and get a good bar selection and maybe some live music / events on there.

 

There's never owt happening in there - you go in and it's got a sad feel about the place.

A group of local businessmen tried to buy it some years ago but got the runaround from Enterprise, so don't be too surprised if the locals do buy it (given the chance).

 

Enterprise have started sending in surveyors, electrical engineers, etc., so I think they know the only option is to actually spend money on it, for once, and do the place up.

Three Merry Lads have good beers on but too far away from Crosspool, The Top Sportsman only have a couple of beers on (good little pub though), the bottom Sportsman (Manchester Road), good beer selection but no atmosphere, feels like a hotel bar, Crosspool Tavern is awful.

 

Bulls Head is good, Rising Sun is good, Ranmoor Inn is going downhill fast.

 

The Plough now have pub food on, they will be having live bands on, and the beer is good (usually three or four ales on), just needs a makeover.

Can you confirm that the Plough, Sandygate is still open. I am planning a trip to Sheffield to get back to my roots (family history) and the Plough is part of that history with Sam Lovell one of the landlords being my g.g.grandfather. Didn't the plough also give a start to Hallam FC by allowing the matches on the pubs field.

Hi,

 

The Plough is still open.......but things could always change.

Looks like we are related through the same grandparents. Tried to message you privately but couldn't, I think you have to have at least 5 open messages before you can send private ones. As I only joined a couple of days ago, I need to get one or more sent.

I've been told this evening that the Plough has closed down.

Please does anyone have any information ...... Is this temporary for refurbishment or ...?

If permanent closure, does anyone know what future use, if any, is planned for the building?

Thanks.

There is a rumour I've heard that the owners of the York in Broomhill might be taking over. Let's hope it's going to be the Crosspool equivalent of the Rising Sun in Fulwood, great beer at a cheap price, good food, good variety of entertainment ... it's a lovely pub in a lovely area with lovely people ...... why couldn't it be !
