Hide AdWork to convert the distinctive round building close to Crystal Peaks shopping centre started in August and has now been completed.


JD Wetherspoon said its newest venue, which will be managed by Emma Walker, had created 100 new jobs.
Ms Walker said: “My team and I are looking forward to welcoming customers into The Scarsdale Hundred and we are confident that the pub will be a great addition to the Beighton community and social scene.”
The pub takes its name from the old administrative district which the location used to fall within, when it was part of Derbyshire rather than Sheffield and was one of the 71 places recorded in the Scarsdale Hundred in the Domesday Book of 1086.

Hide AdPlans for a ‘high-level’ roof sign were rejected, however, as Sheffield Council’s planning officers thought this would detract from the distinctive curved roof.


The pub chain has since applied to make a ‘minor variation’ to its licence for the venue as it wishes to amend the layout, ‘rotating’ the back-of-house set-up and providing a smaller entrance lobby.
The new pub’s name is derived from the late Saxon period when counties were divided into administrative districts called hundreds.
Planning permission has also been granted for a drive-through Taco Bell restaurant on part of the existing Damon’s car park.
