We asked The Star’s readers to name their favourite beer garden at a pub in Sheffield, and we had hundreds of responses. Recommendations ranged from traditional pubs with sweeping views of the countryside to more quirky offerings, including hidden sun traps and riverside spots, as well as beer gardens with plenty of space for the children to run about. It wasn’t all about the location, with many of you recommending them based on the quality of the food and beer.
We couldn’t include all your suggestions but here are some of those which cropped up most often.

The Strines Inn, on Mortimer Road in the pretty Sheffield village of Bradfield, is Grade II-listed and according to Historic England dates back to the 17th century.
