The Bottom Welly, Shalesmoor

So tomorrow looks like it will be an end of an era......I'll miss Harley.

It has become a "League of Gentlemen" pub...."Are you local...?" The owner treated everyone other than a few favoured cronies with ill-concealed contempt. The cronies, likewise. Thank Heaven for Gary behind the bar. There is no way this place should have come to such a sorry pass, given the flourishing Fat Cat and Kelham, and revived Hillsborough Hotel. I guess it reflects the inevitable consequence of a "people business" being taken over by someone with the interpersonal skills of ...well, any League of Gentlemen character.

Funnily enough when Neil and Sheila owned it they had a League of Gentlemen NYE party. I went as Papa Lazarou...."'Ello Dave".

Does anyone know when it's re opening?

Going past on the tram yesterday, there was some activity - i.e., a van parked outside and doors opened. I have fond memories only of Harley the dog, and the always pleasant Gary behind the bar. The place could not survive ownership by someone (and cronies) who made Neil and Sheila look in retrospect like Bruce Forsyth and Tess Daly. Let's hope for better times ahead.

Apparently mid September

Saw on Twitter/Facebook today that it's being taken over by the same folk who run the Sheaf View.

 

"As many of our customers already know, we have just taken over The Wellington at Shalesmoor, S3. It is presently closed for renovations and is due to re open Mid September as our Neepsend Brewery Tap. We are currently looking to build a team of enthusiastic and hard working individuals and have various positions available.

It's going to be easier for me than traipsing across town to the Sheaf!

If you read the start of the thread, that`s what I said over a year ago.

Well silly me for not spotting that nugget of information amongst all the name-dropping and insider cliquey chat about who knows the Sheffield pub scene best.

 

Apologies for trying to be helpful to people who might not have read the entire thread from over a year ago.

Apology accepted.

Has this reopened yet?

[jemson 10]

No. This week I think, Wednesday or Thursday unless the date is put back again.
