Stannington Sheffield S6 6BG Tel: 0114 2344565 Winner of Sheffield CAMRA's "Pub Of The Month" award September 2005. Robin Hood Pub ReviewsRobin Hood Pub News16/9/2005Local members of the Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) have voted the Robin Hood at Stannington as the September winner of their monthly award, which highlights examples of great pubs where you can enjoy good beer in comfortable and friendly surroundings. More information about this pub is in the article below, reproduced from Beer Matters, the Sheffield CAMRA magazine distributed free of charge to many pubs in the area. The certificate was presented on the evening of Friday 9th September. Two hundred years ago when the Rev. Thomas Halliday built a pleasure garden (park), to mirror the scenery of Matlock in Derbyshire, the house he built was offered as a Pub, School or domestic residence. Luckily for us, the option was to open it as a Pub. Now, as in most of its existence, it is a family owned and operated establishment caring for its customers with good food and drink. A good time to visit this secluded gem, at the end of Greaves Lane (just passed the former Pinegrove) would be for the Sheffield CAMRA Pub of the Month presentation on Tuesday 9th September at 9PM. It was here that I first tasted the new Bradfield Brewery - Farmers Bitter, just one of a selection of Real Ales always available. The Sunday carvery is worth going again for and home made food is available during weekday lunchtimes. Match all this with the Beer Garden and childrens play area, the surrounding Loxley valley and you have the basis for a good outing. Why is it called The Robin Hood? - well because Robin Hood came from Loxley! - didn't he?? Robin Hood Pub EventsRobin Hood Pub Special Offers |
