And the Shiny Sheff, even with major investment, is still not doing well as it still can't get in enough people to make it a realistic ongoing business. Shame, as the pub is nice to go in, the staff are friendly, and the beers aren't too overpriced.

I can appreciate that. Just looking for a one off tomorrow with a mushroom mad friend.

Hi, does anyone know any good places for picking edible mushrooms? Some of our local woods must have them I'd think . Any advice appreciated.

Try Beat The Bandit - they are quite local, very good, and easily contactable via their website or facebook page.

Hi, The Plough is still open.......but things could always change.

Still very quiet apart from Thurs and Sun for the quizzes; both good nights, rest of the time it's almost dead, sadly.

Absolutely agree - he will make sure that whatever beers are sold will be in good condition. Looking forward to trying a few with you

I think it's going to be pretty much opposite the Nursery Tav.....I was told, but was concentrating on my booze at the time!

I need to try Taco Hell and see if it lives up to its rep

No Dunkin Donuts?! No Krispy Kreme?! Sheffield is in a terminal decline....... May be time to emigrate.

Closed last night. Hope that was just a blip.

Sounds good - hoping to get tickets for this.

No, got a cover manager in at the moment - still open as normal.

I believe so - though it seems the pub is run by the Bermondsey Pub Company; but that looks to be a company owned/run by Enterprise

Sounds like they weren't prepared to accept the way that the regional manager wanted to treat them. Glad they stood up for themselves, but a shame they are going as they were nice people who made an effort to get the pub going again. ---------- Post added 08-07-2015 at 00:42 ---------- Yup, nice people, but early days for the pub. Shame they felt they had to leave.

Shame the managers of the Shiny are leaving tonight (Tues, that is) - I'll be in to have a pint with them.

Even if they were being used to feed a child?

I don't think the big pharmaceutical companies would be happy if we let that happen now....

With friends last night trying to get a City taxi; the unhelpful operator said there were no taxis in the area (Lodge Moor) and that my friend would have to phone back in about 15 minutes. They managed to get a passing black cab instead......but City's operator was a great advert for using someone else.

Given they have been successful in the application to have the pub listed as a community asset, I don't think it will be a supermarket anytime soon. Does need work to get people in though.

I still think they need some extra work to get people in; karaoke on Fridays seems to be getting a few less in already (a good thing, IMO, as I don't like karaoke - but if it works for the pub, good for them); the live entertainment on Saturdays is really dire (apart from Chris Johnson) - the 'acts' they have had on are very low grade, not bringing people in at all. But it's still early doors, and they have time to change this....the people running the pub are nice and making an effort, which is to be applauded.

Sounds a bit troll-ish; any fool can kick and punch, but not very well. ---------- Post added 12-06-2015 at 00:33 ---------- That gym has a good reputation, so no harm in trying it and see if it provides the exercise you want. No pressure on you to fight competitively, and a friendly atmosphere from what I've heard, so could be good for you.

Anyone know what's happening. Looks pretty closed tonight when I went past.

Totally agree - a very friendly environment for someone new to martial arts, and where you can work for your own goals, whether that's to lose a few pounds and get fitter, improve your confidence, or to fight competitively.

Muscle Madness are underneath Sheffield Thai Boxing gym; despite their website saying they are open 7 days a week, they often seem to be closed when I go past......
