The pub usually has four keg and five cask beers.

Andrew Cater and son Jack took over in September 2022 after previously running another pub called The Railway, on Bramall Lane, where they also won Pub of the Month, in November 2017.

Kevin Thompson, Sheffield CAMRA press officer and social secretary, said Andy and Jack had worked hard to make the pub “a fun place to be”.

He added: “The pub also hosts home and away fans on match days, peacefully may I add.”
