The Rivelin Hotel pub is located at Tofts Lane in Stannington.
The Rivelin Hotel, a popular pub on Tofts Lane near Stannington, is closing its doors. Managers Abbie Mullen and her business partner Simon shared the news with "great sadness," saying they are "absolutely gutted" to be leaving.
The closure impacts around 18 staff members and marks the end of what has been a meaningful chapter for the team and the local community. "We are absolutely gutted not only for us but for all our lovely customers and the friends we have made here," Abbie wrote in a public message on Facebook.
She thanked patrons for their support and kind words, noting how much the encouragement has meant to them. "We are so sad to leave," she added, "but also got a fire in our belly for what is to come at our new home."
The Rivelin will host a farewell party on Saturday 31st May starting at 7PM, with a free buffet for guests. The final meals will be served on Sunday 1st June.
Abbie and Simon won't be out of the pub game for long. They're set to reopen the Bulls Head on Fulwood Road in Ranmoor, with opening day planned for Friday 6th June.

Been for tea tonight and it's the first time we have been, however it will not be the last.
The food was delicious, freshly cooked and hot. Yes we had to wait but not unnecessarily long and enjoyed every morsel.
Will definitely recommend and be calling again. Thank you x

Just had a lovely Sunday lunch in the Rivelin. Nine of us including three kids.
Nice, comfortable place. Food excellent, good beer, and Sky TB for the footy!
Would recommend highly.
Thanks to all the staff.
Will be back to try the famous "2 for a fiver".

This pub happens to be my local and I've been coming for a tipple here for about 16 years. I've been bringing our lass down more recently and she loves coming for a booze as well. If you are looking for a top quality boozer that sells top quality real ales, stop looking, you've found it.
Not only do I go for a booze every night when our lass lets me, I also tend to go for my dinner a couple of times a week. Superb value on the 2-for-a-fiver meals. They serve loads of pub classics like fish fingers and chips.
I would highly recommend my lovely local!

A very welcoming pub with friendly staff and very sociable regulars.
Delicious home cooking - the best Sunday lunch in Sheffield.
Homemade proper Yorkshire puddings and fresh vegetables served with a smile.
