Which was the best pub that closed in Sheffield and why?

The Magnet and the Five Arches, also the Shiregreen Hotel when Derek Darby had it

And the Sportsman in Stannington when Phil had it.. Before it was full of Chavs, and were thus forced to get rid of the Pool table

Is the Market Tavern still open?

No -

I'd suggest the Mad House (Hallamshire, top of Lydgate Lane) though

You knew Derek Darby?

Good and bad are subjective.

Gossips at Arundel Gate, on the corner, near Berlins.

Its a real shame the Pinegrove burned down.

Gossips was ok but not a pub. The nosh that was served to gain an extension was a bit iffy if you happned to be sober.

Now that was always an interesting clientele...

Indeed, thing is though, I used to go there for lunch back when I was at Loxley College (cos I got the runs once from eating dodgy sausages from the College canteen! ), but the service was always better in the Robin Hood back then, I mean OK it took twice as long to get there (I was a slow walker), but like I said, the chip butties were better, the Beer was cheaper, and the service was better and not full of students.

gotta be the Wappentake for me
