Yes, it's still opening on Thursday as far as I know. Exciting times for Derbyshire Lane.

Anyone wondered where the Sheffield Telegraph would be without Thornbridge / BrewKitchen ? They'd have nothing to write about!

Lets hope they make a better job of it than before which wont be hard.
Maybee this time the licencing laws might be followed to the letter which wasnt the case before .
I know some local residents who have gone through hell living near there before anybody jumps down my throat.

They're keeping a play area but very different from the old one. Will include a wendy house and some giant games like Jenga apparently. Interior is lovely, no TV, pool table or fruit machines in any more though.

We thought Thornbridge had Tweeted 16:00 for the opening, but at 21:30 last night as we drove past the place was in full swing, although that could have been a pre-opening party. We aren't popping alomg until 18:00 in any case.

I went last night and asked that same question. They're planning platters - selections of meats and cheeses and the like - which will go lovely with a pint!

Flyer says 'bar snacks available every day and pork sandwiches Saturday' - no full food service though and no Sunday lunch.

They've done a great job with renovating this place. Although it's not a departure of any kind from the Thornbridge blueprint, the pub building itself has tonnes of character. Residents fearing the worst should probably rest easy that the kind of punters that gravitated towards the place before will most likely be very much put off by the floral wallpaper for a start! The family-friendly mini play park in the back should also attract in a new clientele.
Maybe the other pubs in the area will eventually follow suit and up their game? Someone mentioned further up this thread that the Prince of Wales has been taken on by new management, but from my last visit it still comes across as completely off-limits to a peaceable beer-drinker!
I'd be interested to know what others think of the official opening tonight...

It should indeed be a very different pub, for the better. I will miss the Sunday lunch though!
The Prince was taken over a while ago but not much changed x

Thought it looked pretty tidy and the floral wallpaper worked for me, but I`m no expert. And beer seemed better than Beauchief upon opening!
Craven Silk, Bro Rabbit, Wild Swan, Jaipur, Bath`s Barnsey and Dark Star Espresso. Quite a few bottles (Goose Island, etc) but not the `top end` Thornbridge. And a dart board!

It was refurbed just before the take over, and a very cheap beer deal brought in, and TVs with sport and all that attracted a younger crowd. The landlord hated it and left. When it was taken over by the guy who owns the Chantrey and white lion big changes were expected but never happened.

That's a shame, Chantrey, it's an OK pub, but like Prince it could be a great pub. They don't seem to realise that not everyone wants a group, singer or disco.
I understand they make them money, but it alienates real alers, it come to something when you'd rather drink in a Wetherspoons!!
The owner should look at Thornbridge as a template for what makes money, and it ain't multiple TV's,radio or even pool tables.
Even real alers have standards.
