Service 257 Bus is Up & Running

The 257 service to Bakewell is up and running, with a better timetable!

That’s great news for local travellers!
The 257 service is now operated from Monday to Saturday by Andrew’s of Tideswell, using former Hulleys buses. The updated timetable is available on Travel South Yorkshire, Derbyshire County Council, and Andrew’s websites.

A New Restaurant Opens in Crosspool

The recently openedValencia Restaurant,located at 34 Sandygate Rd., S10 5RY, adds to the thriving culinary scene in Crosspool. It complements an impressive lineup of local favourites, such as the beloved Papa Ciccio’s restaurant, the Sportsman and Crosspool Tavern pubs, and eateries like Hudson’s Kitchen, Aesthete, and Crosspool Social, all offering delicious meal options.

The kitchen equipment, furniture, and bar area of the former Varanasi restaurant have undergone a complete overhaul. By removing partition walls and upgrading the windows, the dining space has transformed the Valencia Restaurant into a bright, open area. Here, guests can relish a vibrant Mediterranean menu, a long-standing favourite since its debut in 2015 at their much-loved Selsey location.

Opening hours: These times may vary. Call 0114 322 9376 to book a table

– Tuesday–Friday: 5:00 PM – 10:00 PM 

– Saturday: 2:30 PM–10:30 PM 

– Sunday: 4:00 PM – 8:00 PM 

During the day, savour the finest Mediterranean dishes in a warm and inviting setting. When night falls, Valencia evolves into a vibrant hub of tapas, offering the ideal backdrop for memorable gatherings with family and friends. The excitement doesn’t end there! A unique addition is on the way—an exclusive cocktail bar upstairs, designed to host private events and take your evenings to extraordinary new levels.

Why not treat yourself? Grab your family and friends and discover the Valencia experience, delight in exquisite flavours, and embrace the warm hospitality that’s just a visit away.
