The Plough pub consultation deadline extended to Friday 9 September
The consultation deadline to comment on proposals for changes to The Plough pub has been extended to Friday 9 September.
After the pub closed in April, Sainsbury’s announced plans to turn it into a convenience store.
The Save the Plough group has been coordinating the campaign to keep the building as a pub and save the sporting heritage of Sandygate. The group has raised several specific concerns over the proposals and is encouraging residents to give their views.
Some residents are also in support of the the idea of a convenience store opening in place of the pub.
If you have views either way then consider making them known to Sainsbury’s, Sheffield Planning Committee by commenting on the website, our local MP and councillors:
- Adam Hanrahan, Liberal Democrats – Sandygate Sainsbury’s survey page
- Anne Murphy, Labour – Crookes and Crosspool branch page
- Craig Gamble Pugh, Labour – Crookes and Crosspool branch page
Last year The Plough was listed as an asset of community value.
Residents campaign to save The Plough pub
Crosspool residents are fighting to save The Plough pub.
After the pub closed in April, Sainsbury’s announced plans to turn it into a convenience store.
The Save the Plough group has been coordinating the campaign to keep the building as a pub and save the sporting heritage of Sandygate. Together with local councillors, they have launched a survey to gauge public opinion on the issue. They’re also raising money to support the campaign.
Ideas include turning the site into a multi-use community facility and a visitor centre for the world’s oldest football ground, which is opposite.

Sainsbury’s announce plans for The Plough pub
Supermarket chain Sainsbury’s is to submit a planning application to turn The Plough pub on Sandygate Road into a convenience store.
The people running The Plough, which is opposite the oldest football ground in the world, called last orders in April.
There had been speculation over the future of the pub for many months. Regulars launched a Save the Plough Facebook campaign and it was registered as an asset of community value, with the hope that a community ownership model could be explored.
Sainsbury’s are now leasing the property from Enterprise Inns and will submit planning applications to Sheffield City Council in the coming weeks to adapt the building.
We’ll post links to them as soon as we see it on the council website.
Last orders at The Plough pub?
The Save the Plough campaign group are reporting that The Plough pub on Sandygate Road will be close after today (Tuesday):
After Tuesday of this week, the Plough will be closed. There’s no information about what is going to happen after that.
Whether Enterprise have another tenant lined up or are considering a sale is anybody’s guess at the moment.
Last summer, the pub was listed as an asset of community value.

New manager launches new ale and menu in Crosspool pub
The Sportsman in Crosspool has teamed up with Yorkshire brewery Black Sheep to launch an exclusive new pale ale.
From Good Friday, 25 March, customers at the Crosspool pub will be able to enjoy a pint of Ember Inn Pale Ale, a 4% ABV beer with a crisp, bitter finish.
Easter also marks the launch of the new brunch menu – the latest addition by pub manager Samantha Chapman. Celebrating six months behind the bar, she has brought in a new team and relaunched the weekly quiz night.
Samantha said: “With 11 and a half years’ experience in the industry, The Sportsman posed an exciting new challenge for me to develop its reputation in the local community. I won an award for Manager of the Year in a previous role in 2014 as I helped make the pub a social hub for residents, groups and clubs in the local community – that’s something we are hoping to replicate here.”
“Introducing this exclusive ale will add to our already extensive cask ale range and is just the beginning of our plans for the pub. From our pub quizzes, to our new seasonal menus, I am hoping to build great relationships with our locals, evolving the pub to become a part of everyday life in the community.”
Live music at The Plough on Saturday
Local covers band The Burnt Stones will play their annual Christmas show at The Plough on Sandygate Road this Saturday.
Expect covers, including Christmas songs!
