neeeeeeeeeek Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Chimps on Eccy Road is going to be another Cricket Inn style place selling slightly over priced but good food and good beer. Got to be a good thing, Chimps was full of nobs on the few occasions I was unfortunate enough to go there. http://www.sheffieldtelegraph.co.uk/community/food-for-thought/time_up_for_sports_bar_as_sheffield_group_expands_1_4257406 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesogt Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 As Thornbridge already half own it, it is hardly a takeover! Basically Dave Harrison who already owns half is taking over the other half due to the retirement of Dave Wickett. Bit of a non-story really.

What's the wrong crowd? Seems bloody busy every time I go past or pop in for a drink. They seem to have found a winning formula so bully for them.

verona Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 I'm talking about before the Thornbridge takeover a few years back. It ended up with a load of meat heads in trying to cause trouble most weekends. Might have changed now as it seems more catered towards the student population.
