Belfry Pub

We recently visited The Belfry for a meal with my son and his wife.

We were very impressed with the politeness of the waitress and her service was 100%. The food did take a little while to come but it was well worth the wait.

Impressed and will go back again soon.

Have just returned from the Belfry.

Firstly, two members of staff absolutely shone, Jess and Joe (that's when you could actually see Joe, I am sure his surname is blur!). As for Jess, a nicer and more polite person you could not wish to meet. Alas, that's where the platitudes end.

After waiting some 30 minutes for our meal, it became somewhat tiring. However, it did eventually arrive. Similarly when we ordered dessert, again after 20 or more minutes we were faced with the same dilemma, only this time my dessert, including ice cream, arrived on... a hot plate. Not a good recommendation. However, things were amicably resolved.

Look out for these two waiters, attendants or whatever fancy names pubs give them, because they will make your evening more pleasurable.

Nice decor, relaxing atmosphere, helpful & friendly staff & food was really tasty.

Worth a visit.

The Belfry pub in Beighton has officially reopened following a major revamp backed by a six-figure investment from owners Greene King.

Located on Eckington Road, the updated venue now boasts a modernised restaurant, new indoor televisions, and an expanded outdoor seating area with 60 additional seats.

To mark the relaunch, long-time regular and patron of 15 years, Beryl Fitzgibbons, cut the ribbon at the reopening ceremony.

However, not all of the pub's plans have received the green light. A proposal to install a 65-inch outdoor television is still awaiting approval. The pub submitted the application in April, describing the screen as a "valuable amenity for patrons" that would "enhance the public house's role within the community." A noise impact assessment was also provided, concluding that the screen was "unlikely to be an additional adverse impact" on nearby residents.

Despite this, some locals have raised objections. One nearby resident expressed concerns about existing noise levels, particularly in summer when sporting events are shown. "The foul language and loud voices that are often experienced make it impossible to sit outside in our own garden," they said. "Anything that increases the number of people outside the pub will only add to this."

They added that the proposed outdoor screen could "exacerbate this behaviour and create additional noise, particularly during warm weather."

For now, The Belfry is back in business with its indoor upgrades complete - but its outdoor entertainment plans remain up in the air.

The Belfry pub in Beighton is seeking planning permission to install a 65-inch television screen in its outdoor beer garden - a proposal that's stirring debate among local residents.

Submitted to Sheffield City Council by the pub's owners, Greene King, the planning documents detail the installation of a large TV mounted on a black metal stand in the pub's patio area. The application describes the setup as a way to allow patrons to enjoy televised sports and other programming in the open air while socialising.

According to the design and access statement, the TV would be "undertaken in a way that minimises any negative impact on the building's appearance" and is intended to "enhance the pub's role within the community," helping it remain a relevant social hub.

But not everyone is onboard.

A formal objection has already been lodged with the council, raising concerns about increased noise levels. The complaint claims the noise tests submitted with the application do not accurately reflect how loud the area could become during televised sports events.

The letter argues: "By having a TV outside this will increase ambient noise from customers who will be shouting in response to the sports being played at the time. At present noise for any sports is limited to inside the pub."

It further criticises the impact assessment as inadequate and suggests the outdoor screen adds little value, given the existing TV facilities inside the pub.

The council will now weigh the potential community benefits against the noise concerns raised by neighbours before making a decision on the application.

We have renamed The Belfry pub on Eckington Road in Beighton to it's new incarnation, The Flaming Grill.
