The Plough featured in Sheffield CAMRA magazine

Crosspool pub The Plough on Sandygate Road gets a mention in the May edition of Beer Matters magazine. Thanks to Sheffield CAMRA for letting us publish it here:

It is just over a year since Andy and Cheryl Clay came to The Plough on Sandygate Road and they have just overseen the refurbishment.

There is a main bar area and two raised levels, the surrounding woodwork has all been varnished and the bar has been polished and has a new set of hand pumps.

There is a pleasant mix of decor in the different areas and with a new lighting system mood and ambiance can be crated for different occasions.

Monday night is vintage TV with Julie, Thursday is quiz night with jackpot and there is also a quiz on Sunday night, both with free buffet. A pool table is tucked away to the rear of the pub.

Where possible all ingredients for the home made dishes are locally sourced, these include speciality dishes and deserts. Up to five beers are available, Tetley Bitter, Farmers Blonde and guest beers mainly from local breweries.

The magazine is available to pick up for free from Sheffield pubs.

Two new floral tubs confirmed for Manchester Road

The space outside Crosspool Tavern where two new planters will be located

Two new planters will be installed at the former entrance to Crosspool Tavern on Manchester Road.

The location will allow for continued pedestrian access to the pelican crossing, the pub entrance and the pavement in front of the pub.

The tubs will be delivered with soil and planting already prepared and Crosspool Forum will take on their future maintenance. An exact date for their arrival has not yet been confirmed.

This former entrance to the Tavern’s car park was earmarked for landscaping as part of the S10 corridor scheme in 2005, although this has not yet happened. The two new floral tubs are expected to make access to the pelican crossing safer.

In 2010 and 2011 Crosspool received Sheffield in Bloom awards for the quality of our floral displays in the precinct.

Bell Hagg Inn to be converted into seven bedroom house

There are plans to convert the The Bell Hagg Inn into a house

Plans to convert a derelict Crosspool pub into a seven bedroom house will be considered by the council planning board on Tuesday.

The Bell Hagg Inn on Manchester Road has stood empty for years but the new proposals would see the two buildings turned into a single dwelling and extended. A two-story structure would also be demolished. Planning officers are recommending that the new scheme is approved.

Loxley Valley Protection Society is critical of the plans, but Rivelin Conservation Group has welcomed the proposal.

The former pub is located opposite the entrance to Valleyside Garden Centre, and its position offers commanding views over the Rivelin valley.

The Plough pub temporarily closes

The Plough, Crosspool — The Plough: will reopen at the end of the month

The Plough on Sandygate Road is no longer open for business – but should reopen before the end of the month.

The pub is one of several leased and operated by Hawk Inns North Limited. Glenn Thorpe, Director, said: “Due to administrative errors in all our Premises Licences we have had to temporarily close all the pubs operating within the Sheffield Licensing District.

“This is not a particular problem specific to The Plough as all our pubs will reopen with Temporary Event Notices on the 28 of July for periods of four days at a time and then will be fully open again from 11 August.”

A sign in window of the pub (pictured below) states that an alcohol licence was re-applied for on 15 July 2011.
