PUB OF THE SEASON SPRING 2019

Congratulations to the team at The Wentworth Arms, Mapplewell for picking up Spring Pub of the Season from Barnsley CAMRA. The pub opened in May 2017 after a local couple bought the former restaurant on the site and extensively refurbished inside and out, exposing the original stone and brick both externally and internally, making it more in keeping with the rest of the village. The large building, just set back from the main road on Greenside, is now back to its original name and again a popular traditional, community pub, albeit with a modern twist.

There’s a large beer garden to the side and rear and a large car park to the front - though Mapplewell has a good bus service with the Number 1 and X10 running well into the evening each day. And remember that Stagecoach have an Evening Plus ticket that costs just £2.50 for unlimited travel after 6pm.

The Wentworth Arms team have a passion for real ale and craft beers. Almost all of the cask beers are Locale, with changing cask beers from the likes of Nailmakers, Acorn, Jolly Boys, Revolutions and other Yorkshire breweries. A fine range of changing craft beers is also on sale. Beers currently available as well as those

waiting in the cellar are frequently updated on the pub’s website, wentwortharms.co.uk plus Facebook, Untappd, Twitter and Instagram. In January the pub hosted its second successful four day Tap Takeover, with North Brewing Co from Leeds taking over all four cask lines and three keg lines for the event. At the same time neighbouring Talbot Inn hosted a Tap Takeover

by Thornbridge Brewery, who similarly took over the four cask lines and three keg lines for the event. The previous takeover was hosted by Magic Rock brewery. For the non-ale drinkers there’s a wide selection of lagers, cider, gins, wines, cocktails plus coffees and tea, so no reason not to call in.

A bar menu was introduced in late 2017, consisting of a mix of traditional pub classics and modern alternatives such as pizzas, burgers and sharing plates. There is also live music every Saturday and Sunday evening.

Barnsley CAMRA will be making the presentation of Spring Pub of the Season to Paul, Tracey and the team at The Wentworth Arms on Thursday 4th April, meeting up at around 8pm for the presentation at around 9pm so please come along and congratulate the team for being a fantastic village pub.

Opening times: 4-10pm Monday & Tuesday, 4-11pm Wednesday & Thursday; 12 noonMidnight Friday; 10.30-Midnight Saturday; 10.30-10.30pm Sunday. Food times: 4-9pm Wednesday and Thursday; 12-9pm Friday; 10.30am-7pm Sunday.

PUB, CLUB AND BREWERY NEWS Potentially good news about the long-closed Fountain at Ingbirchworth – owners Enterprise Inns (or Ei Group as they’re now known) claim to be ‘in discussions with a number of interested parties about taking on the Fountain and would like to reassure the local community that we plan on reopening the pub as soon as possible.’

Since 2014, Barnsley Council has been working on its new Local Plan which will set out the local planning policies for our area. This is very important for pubs because if anyone wants to turn a pub into something else, they need planning permission and the Council will use these policies in deciding whether or not to grant it. In the Autumn 2016 BAR, we grumbled about the Council’s decision to completely ignore our suggestions for including within the Plan a policy giving protection to pubs in appropriate circumstances. We pointed out that this left the Plan in apparent conflict with national policy. The Plan then went to the government for examination by a planning inspector and, fortunately, she agreed with us that the policies on protection of community facilities like pubs were inadequate. Thankfully, the Council accepted her recommendation.

The final Plan therefore states that pubs will be protected from development unless it can be proven that they’re no longer needed or there is a suitable alternative nearby.

Another Barnsley pub bites the dust. Planning permission has been granted to convert the Marlborough Arms, Dodworth Road into flats.

As mentioned in Hops on a Bus, the Milton Arms, Elsecar has reopened under the ownership of True North Brew Co. Since Nigel visited, improvements to the kitchen have been completed and a full food menu is available.

Well done to the Temple of Muses, Barnsley for being highlighted in the i newspaper’s list of the country’s twenty best new/refreshed pubs.

Central Barnsley has another new real ale outlet. Bar Ruelle on Regent Street South occupies the former Cafe Ruelle premises and is now in the hands of Debs and Darren.

The tapas-based food offering hasn’t really changed but the drinks side certainly has with three rotating real ales and a real cider all on sale. The beers normally comprise one from the Marstons stable and two from local breweries – all at £2.80 a pint or 30p a pint less for CAMRA members. There’s also a goodly selection of gins. Internally, the décor will receive a refresh and the drinking area at the front will be further developed; use will also be made of the outside area opposite, possibly including live music. Bar Ruelle currently opens from 5pm on Thursday and Friday and from 11am Saturday and Sunday.

The Tipsy Cow micro-pub at the Gateway Plaza, Barnsley was sadly out of action for several weeks around Christmas following two instances of flood damage from the flats above. Happily, it’s up and running again with the beer and gin selections as good as ever.

Opening times have altered though – now 5pm Wednesday and Thursday, 4pm Friday and 2pm Saturday and Sunday.

The Packhorse, Royston has changed hands with new licensees Bryan and Paula keen to increase the community focus of the pub.

Initiatives include a ‘silver surfer’ afternoon on Wednesdays with good-value lunches and discos/karaoke on Fridays, Food is served lunch and evenings except on Thursday and the Sunday carvery (£7.95 or two for £15) is already proving popular. A smart, contemporary colour scheme has brightened up the interior. The single real ale is Caledonian 80 Shilling, badged as Royston Drift Cask Ale. Over at Pilley, resident John Thornton is still pursuing plans to create a multi-purpose bistro/ bar in a village which has lost both its pub and

Welcome Inside Barnsley CAMRA’s BAR - Page 6

club. He has identified the old village bowling green as an ideal site but Barnsley Council, who hold stewardship of the land, say the use of the site must be for ‘public benefit’ and the proposals don’t fit these criteria – which sounds completely daft.

The Victoria, Cudworth isn’t currently selling cask beer. The Keel Inn, Castle Street, Barnsley has also taken off its hand-pulled ales – it still has Acorn bottled beers.

Latest on the projected Penistone Community Alehouse is that plans are being progressed to establish this in the old Post Office building off Market Street.

In Barnsley, the freehold of the Hoyle Mill Inn is on the market – offers around £275000 are invited.

Also in tarn, the Tykes Bar, Sheffield Road has gone back to its old name, the Manx Arms – still no real ale though.

Barnsley CAMRA has presented a special award for commitment to real ale to James Taylor who

started Two Roses Brewery in 2011 and five years later, with wife Sue, opened the brilliant Arcade Ale House micropub in the town centre, twice our Pub of the Year. Tragically, at that time, James was struck by a devastating illness which he’s struggled with since. This forced him to sell the brewery and he’s now decided also W ’ hugely h l grateful t f l to t to let go of the pub. We’re James for all that he’s done for the real ale scene locally and wish him improved health in the future.

Speaking of Two Roses brewery, it has now been rebranded as Nailmaker Brewing Co., the new name recognising the nail-making heritage of the Mapplewell/Staincross area.

THE BEER FESTIVAL IS COMING The eighth annual Barnsley Beer and Music Festival takes place from 3-6 May at the Elsecar Heritage Railway. Opening hours are Noon10pm on the 3rd, 4th and 5th and Noon-7pm on the 6th. Entry is free.

Our beer marquee will feature over 80 real ales, ciders and craft beers.

As most readers will know, the venue is a working heritage railway located behind the Elsecar Heritage Centre. The 66 bus from Barnsley Interchange serves the Centre and

Elsecar railway station is only eight minutes away. If coming by car, follow the brown tourist signs for the Centre – parking is plentiful and free.

The Heritage Railway will have steam locomotives in action for rides along the line and there will also be live entertainment on stage in the yard. Food stalls and the CAMRA tombola stand will be open all weekend.

RANDOM RAMBLES No.3 - Worsbrough Dale to Barugh Green So, how this works is that I draw from a hat the names of two places in the area and visit pubs there and at two places in between. As last time, we start in Worsborough, but the Dale not the Village, then head east.

Our starting point is the Boatman’s Rest. I hadn’t visited on a Sunday lunchtime before and it was rammed – the attraction being the carvery, which certainly looked a bargain at £7.95 (and on Wednesdays it’s just £12 for two.) Food is very important here and the standard menu offers plenty of choice with most main meals between £6.95 and £9.95 plus a selection of steaks from the grill. There’s also a Fresh Fish Friday deal at £8.50.

The rambling interior includes two restaurant areas, a big L-shaped one at the back and another at the side. The bar itself is heavily hung with miners lamps, horse brasses and other memorabilia. A plaque on the bar counter says it was opened by Alan Green MP in 1963 so I guess that is when this area was constructed.

Left of the bar is the Box Hoyle room with a pool table, impressive trophy cabinet and a few tables and chairs. Last time I was here, the only real ale was the less than inspiring Greene King

IPA (bus-hopper Nigel would disagree – he likes the stuff). However, an extra pump has arrived and my choice was Marstons Pedigree or Black

Sh d and d ttasty. t Sheep Bitt Bitter – th the fformer was good The route then took us via Staincross to Dodworth and somewhere I’ve never been before – the Fairway ‘Bar, Grill & Carvery’ which is on the ground floor of a modern hotel just off the A628. The open-plan interior is absolutely vast but attempts have at least been made to break up the space with a variety of partitions, pillars and archways. It’s all perfectly comfortable if entirely anonymous. The only real ale was Sharps Doom Bar. This isn’t a beer which tickles my own taste buds but it is, by some distance, the biggest-selling real ale in the country so lots of folk clearly love it. Most people evidently come to the Fairway to eat and the menu, though largely comprised of ‘pub favourites’, looked very good value, especially the two-for-one options.

Next to a pub I didn’t expect to be open and, indeed, the large boulders across the car park entrance told their own tale. The Engineers Arms, Higham closed temporarily last year after

Welcome Inside Barnsley CAMRA’s BAR - Page 8

long-serving licensees Tony and June retired.

After owners Sam Smiths had carried out a refurbishment, it reopened on 21 November and shut again two days later!

Sams are, to say the least, an eccentric company. At the present time, many of their pubs are closed – York Branch reported nine Sams pubs in their area alone were shut – and there is much speculation as to what is going on at the brewery. Head honcho Humphrey Smith has a reputation for ploughing his own furrow regardless of the consequences. In 2017, for instance, he introduced a swearing ban in his pubs, then visited pubs unannounced and sacked managers on the spot if he heard any naughty words. Last year, he and the company were fined over non-disclosure of pensions information and, for whatever reason, he seems to be taking this out on his own pubs and staff. Managers (all the pubs are managed) are recruited mainly by notices in pub windows (and there was one such at the Engineers) and working for the company is not something many people find easy. As the collective efforts at selfharm continue at Sams, the good folk of Higham remain bereft of their pub.

an intriguing offering from a Sheffield-based operation currently cuckoo-brewing at Wincle in Derbyshire. This is a regular Good Beer Guide entry so quality is to be expected here – a wide selection of bottles and cans from the likes of Beavertown and Magic Rock plus some Belgian beers can also be sampled.

The pub was attractively refurbished a few years back and now has three distinct drinking areas at the front then a large eating space further back. Everything is very tastefully appointed as you’d expect in a True North pub (the Milton, Elsecar is also now one of theirs). On the food side, main meals are mostly in the £12-£14.50 range but there are a number of good-value offers available e.g. on Monday nights the acclaimed pies are only £7 and True North beers are £2.60 a pint. Weekdays between 12 and 4, burgers and pies are just £6.50.

Where will the hat take us next?

By now, I was in need of a good beer so the Crown & Anchor, Barugh Green was a welcome site. A choice of five real ales greeted me – two from True North brewery (who own the pub) plus Black Iris Rise & Shine Porter, Acorn Yorkshire Pride and Brew Foundation Pop. I tried the last,

BARNSLEY CHOMPS Jane and I are partial to Thai food so when we heard about great reviews of an operation in Shafton – a 5.0 rating on Trip Adviser – we had to try it out. Prissana is based upstairs at the Fox and Hounds; although the two businesses are separate, they work closely together as we were to find out.

We studied the (extensive) menu then chef Ana came down to take our orders. There was a bit of a delay while our choices were freshly prepared but we were comfortable and the wait was well worthwhile. We both had soups at £5.20?

Jane’s was spicy (and sour) with lots of whole, large prawns in a rich coconut, lime and chilli sauce, while my Po Tak was a flavourful seafood affair, well populated with prawns, mussels and battered fish. Both were delicious but decidedly at the hot end of the spectrum; not having cast iron gobs, next time we will take Ana up on her offer to tone down the chillies.

On to the mains and my choice was Kiew Woan Gai (£6.95) with egg fried rice (£1.60). The truly scrumptious, creamy, spicy and sweet green chicken curry had lots of juicy chicken cooked in coconut milk with chillies, sweet basil and aubergine. Again it had quite a kick but then a) this is Thai food and b) adjustments will be made if requested.

Prissana opens at the rather strange hour of 3pm but it suited us to eat at that time on this bitterly cold January day. Ruth, the landlady, gave us a very warm welcome and, when we enquired about the restaurant, explained that she had been upstairs but it had not yet heated up. We readily accepted her suggestion that we eat in the pub close to the seductive open fire.

Ruth had two ales on handpump, Charles Wells’ Bombadier Burning Gold and Sharps’ Doom Bar. I plumped for the former but, as it poured, Ruth gave it a quizzical look then a taste before asking what I though. It was certainly a little on the sharp side but most pubs would have had no qualms selling it; it was greatly to Ruth’s credit that she decided it wasn’t up to standard and off it came. Doom Bar isn’t a personal favourite of mine but it was as good an example as you can get and I’m in a minority it’s now far and away Britain’s biggest selling real ale.

Jane’s Goeng Massaman Neva (£6.95) was a relatively mild, rich curry from southern Thailand; it had beef pieces cooked in coconut milk with potato, onion and peanuts. She accompanied this with Pod Thai Jay (£2.95) which was stir fried noodles with egg, bean sprouts and spring onions served with crushed peanuts. (In truth the very generous portions of rice and noodles meant that we could have easily managed with just one between us). Jane loved the perfectly tender, lean thinly sliced beef in its flavourful sauce and the whole ensemble prompted her to ask “can we come back tomorrow?”.

In fact, what we will definitely return for is the buffet served on the last Sunday of the month, which sounds like a real treat and an opportunity to sample lots of different dishes on the menu.

Prissana has been open two years now with

Welcome Inside Barnsley CAMRA’s BAR - Page 10

Ana and her partner, local boy Andrew, at the helm; they are building quite a reputation. For the aforementioned reason we didn’t get to see the restaurant itself but photos (and Ruth) suggest that it is a perfectly pleasant space and you can take drinks up from the pub.

The Fox and Hounds has a single, opened up L-shaped bar. We sat on comfortable bench seats in front of a window and benefiting from its proximity to the open fire. It was predictably quiet on a weekday afternoon with just a few blokes playing pool but it is clearly a great community local with a standard of customer care that couldn’t be faulted. The model of two businesses in the same building is unusual but here they complement each other and both work well thanks to two extremely friendly and accommodating women.

HERITAGE PUBS ROUNDS HERE Compared with our neighbours in Sheffield, we’re badly off for pubs which retain historic features. The Market in Elsecar still has four separate rooms and a drinking corridor but, apart from some bench seating, hasn’t much by way of old fittings. Elsewhere, it’s mostly a matter of surviving fragments at pubs like the Spencer Arms, Cawthorne, the Bridge Thurgoland and the Cross Inn Royston.

A pub whose interior does seem to offer historic interest is the Wortley Arms, Wortley, with its extensive wall panelling and revolving door, suggesting perhaps that little had changed since before the war – so research was called for.

The first planning application which turned up dated from 1960, submitted by the Earl of Wharncliffe for ‘new toilets, bar, entrance hall,.

The accompanying plans suggested that the ‘pub’ then comprised just two rooms – the lounge, where the left-hand bar is now, and, to the right, a tiny snug. No bar counter was shown, meaning either that there wasn’t one and drinks were ‘fetched’ or that another pub area existed further to the right but wasn’t shown on the plans because it wasn’t affected. Anyway, it was at this point that the current entrance arrangements were put in place with the revolving door and the toilets on each side. A curved bar counter was installed serving both the lounge and what

was now called the ‘cocktail bar’ - this is in the same position as the present counter but much shorter on the right hand side.

The next plans are as recent as 1990. The ‘existing’ arrangements are, on the left hand side, as altered in 1960, though p room and the smaller the lounge is now the tap room has reverted to being the snug. To the right is the lounge with a bar counter at the car park end. The alterations involved removing the wall between the snug and the lounge, extending the bar counter to its present length, removing the other bar counter and creating the small back room we have now and, also, front right, knocking through into former living accommodation to form a ‘snug’. It may well be that most of the panelling dates from this time.

All the changed areas still exist but a new dining room further right, in the former kitchen area, is now a kitchen again.

Between 1991 and 1996, the Wortley pub brewery operated in the cellar, with a capacity of seven barrels a week. Anybody remember what the beers were like?

Further changes and renovations took place in 2007 including the creation of Montagu’s restaurant upstairs, presumably displacing the downstairs dining room.

Regardless of how old the interior is or isn’t, it’s a very attractive pub, popular especially for the excellent food. Three real ales are on offer – Bradfield Farmers Blonde, Acorn Barnsley Bitter and a changing guest from a local brewery.

OUTRAGE IN STAIRFOOT

As this is being typed, demolition work is underway at the historic Black Bull in Stairfoot – so, unless something dramatic happens (and that seems highly unlikely) the site will be cleared by the time you read this.

Up until July 2017, planning permission wasn’t needed to demolish a pub like the Black Bull.

All a developer had to do was to apply to the Council for consent under the Building Act, which was basically a formality and to which no public objections could be raised. After vigorous campaigning by CAMRA and others, the law was changed so that planning permission is now needed for any pub demolition. Sadly, our Council didn’t seem to realise this – despite CAMRA writing to all Councils last summer reminding them about the new legislation.

The Black Bull in Grange Lane was, until 2017, a popular pub which had been run by Darren and Karen Webster for eight years. Then, the owning pub company, Ei (formerly Enterprise

Inns) made the sudden decision to close it. As so often with this company, they clearly felt they could make more money, in the short term, by flogging it off as a ‘development opportunity’ - which duly happened. Last September, the new owners applied to the Council for Building Act consent to demolish. The Council should, of course, have told them ‘you’ll also need to get planning permission’ but evidently didn’t – hence the developers assuming they had the green light to knock the place down. As soon as we learned what was happening, we wrote to the Council pointing out that the demolition was unauthorised and asking them to take action. The Council has the power, in these circumstances, to serve an Enforcement Notice which could have stopped the demolition in its tracks. However, they declined to use these powers, presumably well aware that the developer would have correctly claimed that the Council had given them the go ahead in the first place.

Welcome Inside Barnsley CAMRA’s BAR - Page 14

Because no planning application was submitted, the public had no opportunity to express opposition to the loss of the pub. The many sorrowful comments on the pub’s old facebook site suggest that such opposition would have been pretty fierce – and you’d like to think that the Council would have taken due notice before making its decision. National planning policy is to resist the loss of valued community facilities like pubs unless there are very good reasons not to.

At the time of writing (just before we went to press) we were considering our next step. As the Council isn’t willing to act, our options are limited. We can submit a formal complaint that the Council has been derelict in its duties and it’s hard to see how this could not be upheld – and at least we would hope that the Council will learn from its mistake. We could also apply for something called Judicial Review which could oblige the Council to take remedial action but this is a pretty extreme (and potentially expensive) way forward.

In the meantime, Barnsley has lost yet another pub, one which could certainly have been viable in the right hands. Local residents and local pub lovers generally will feel very let down by their Council.

As our farmers know all too well: no pain, no grain.

They say nothing worth having comes easy. Unfortunately for our farmers that’s true of the barley we use to brew our beers. We use a classic variety called Golden Promise, grown to our own unique specification. The biscuity, golden malt it produces is the perfect partner to our natural spring water, and is vital to Landlord’s depth and delicate balance of flavour. It’s also a type of barley that’s notoriously hard to grow, and our exacting specification makes it even more difficult. Which makes it a costly ingredient and a real challenge even for experienced farmers. Luckily we can offer some liquid therapy.

All for that taste of Taylor’s

16TH MARCH DONCASTER ROVERS Local derby game so you may have your own preferences but I’d recommend the Leopard on West St, 5 minutes from the rail station or the Draughtsman Alehouse on platform 3B of Doncaster station. Both pubs have a range of beers including local ones.

of pub entries and local breweries. Rovers play at the Memorial Ground on Gloucester Road which also, close by, has Bristol’s first micropub the Drapers Arms and its five changing beers.

The Drapers is popular with Rovers fans but away real ale fans are welcome. Alternatively, the Wellington on the junction of Gloucester Rd and Muller Rd is also recommended. Thanks to Glen, Andy and Matt from Bristol CAMRA for the local advice.

Let’s hope all goes well for the rest of the season, home and away. Come on you Reds.

23RD MARCH WALSALL The Black Country Arms on the High St is a large, historic old pub on three levels with 16 handpulls and 11 changing guest ales. Should be something for everyone there.

6TH APRIL BURTON ALBION The Burton Bridge Inn on the town end of Trent Bridge (A511) is the brewery tap with its range of Burton Bridge ales. At the heart of a major brewing centre so a must for beer fans. Barnsley CAMRA had a trip there once and it was well worth it.

22ND APRIL PLYMOUTH ARGYLE The Dolphin is a Plymouth institution in the Barbican area on the waterside. Eight ales gravity fed from the cask. A pub I remember fondly from a stay in Plymouth.

HOP ON THE BUS So with the cold weather set to disappear and evenings becoming lighter, it’s time for a Hop on a Bus through to Elsecar’s pubs, and to help us with our journey we’re using the Stagecoach 66 bus from Barnsley Interchange.

Some of the day tickets have gone up in price by a few pence, but the Evening Plus, known as the Evening Rider, is still priced at £2.50 and valid on all Stagecoach buses in Barnsley, and a bit beyond, from 6pm each evening.

We catch the 6.35pm 66 from Barnsley and arrive at Elsecar Heritage Centre at 7.05pm. It’s just a couple of minutes walk round to Maison du Biere where we start our crawl.

Note that to try Maison du Biere on an evening you need to call Thursdays to Saturdays. This very popular Beer Shop and Tap is in the heart of the historic heritage centre, serving up over 400+ bottle and canned beers and ciders, ten taps off craft/draft beers and real ales and up to four real ciders. The knowledgeable staff can navigate you on a taste experience through the ales on tap. The real ales are clearly marked with “CAMRA Says This Is Real Ale” signs.

We won’t be catching a bus for a while so once you’ve finished here head, on foot, to the Market Inn, five minutes walk via the exit onto Wath Road.

Guide time depart 7.45pm.

The Market Inn is one of Elsecar’s most popular pubs, with its multi roomed layout and a popular drinking corridor. The constantly changing real ales are from micro-breweries from all over the country as well as at least one LocAle beer from within 20 miles. The large back room is for games and where the music is loud. To the rear is the beer garden.

Out at the fromt of the pub, above the front window, look for the ‘Horse and Gig for hire’ sign. The Market is popular for meetings of various clubs, societies, and walking.

It’s a short walk to the next pub, guide leaving time is 8.25pm.

We now arrive at the newly refurbished Milton Arms which reopened in December 2018 following extensive refurbishment by its new owners, True North Brew Co. The purple/brown and cream

colour scheme is very tasteful giving the pub a vintage feel. The snug just to the left on entering the pub is thankfully still in place, while the main lounge bar is cleverly divided by a low screen.

Three new rooms have been created upstairs and can be used at any time, not just busy evenings, and not to forget the popular beer garden. The bar offers up to three local real ales as well as a selection of craft ales on draft and in bottle and can.

The pub offers a wide menu for food and also now allows well behaved owners and their dogs.

It’s up the hill, on foot, to the Crown Inn. Guide suggested departure time, 8.55pm The Crown is a lovely stone built roadside pub, its two rooms having quite different feels - the front room having the community atmosphere with the lounge to the back being a little more formal. The conservatory leading to the family beer garden has also added a much warmer feel to the pub.

The new owners took on the pub from the local, popular licensees over a year ago and are making few changes to this popular community local that everyone enjoys. The guest beers here are all local and food is served each day except Mondays. Time to drink up, and another walk up the hill. Guide says leave about 9.30pm.

It’s just a couple of minutes to the Fitzwilliam A Arms and our last pub for today. Situated near the train station this pub underwent some changes about five years ago with new bar and fantastic restaurant. The furnishings are of a high standard and comfortable. The bar serves a plush lounge/ dining area and the popular games room. The guest beers are local with White Rat from Huddersfield’s Rat Brewery being nearly always available. The large family beer garden is something else, great for the kids with its play area.

We have about run out of time and the bus stop to get back to Barnsley is just 100m up the hill so leave at 10pm as the 66 bus is due at 10.05pm - or if you’re staying out late 11.05pm and 12.05am.

See you on the bus.

SHEFFIELD’S REAL HERITAGE PUBS In October 2017, the Sheffield Pub Heritage Book was made available as a free download. The outstanding success of this download led to a second edition which also came out as a limitededition hard copy. The book quickly sold out but Sheffield CAMRA have kindly given us a small supply which will be on sale (£5.99) at the Elsecar Beer Festival in May. If you can’t get along to the Festival but would like a copy, please contact the Editor.

Paul Ainsworth, Chair of CAMRA Pub Heritage Group (who he? - ed) states: ‘Over the past 25 years, CAMRA has developed its national and regional inventories of historic pub interiors.

These highlight the crème de la crème which have either escaped much alteration or contain features of exceptional interest. We are aware that below these top tiers can be found a host of interiors which still offer a great deal worth seeing. The pioneering work carried out in Sheffield to locate and record these pubs has been an inspiring exercise. This publication portrays the rich tapestry of Sheffield’s pubs: from the nationally important to those where what remains, even if fragmented, should be cherished. A bonus, of course, is that many of these pubs sell great real ale.’

It really is an excellent book and the author, Dave Pickersgill, is to be congratulated on both the production itself and the huge research efforts behind it. As mentioned elsewhere, it’s a pity that the lack of heritage pubs in our own area prevents us attempting anything similar.

BACK IN STYLE

The Rose & Crown, Hoylandswaine reopened in late November after an extensive refit which has successfully retained the traditional feel of the pub but overlain it with attractive contemporary stylings. New licensee Brendan was previously at the Old Post Office, Haigh so, unsurprisingly, food now has a higher profile here but not at the expense of keeping a proper pub atmosphere.

The décor is generally brighter and more modern, the fabrics on the bench seating being especially striking. The flooring has been changed c to make m it more dog-friendly – walkers and dogs are still d very welcome. v A new doubleburner stove b serves both s the lounge and snug; the latter is now even snugger and a great feature is a huge OS wallmap of the area (showing the ‘old’, much bigger, Hoylandswaine).

On the real ale front, Bradfield Farmers Blonde is always on (and is the pub’s biggest selling drink) with two changing guest beers alongside.

There’s also a fine selection of gins and wine.

Given Brendan’s previous ‘post’, the presence of various steak options on the menu was to be expected but the offerings are wide ranging with fish and veggie dishes also specialities.

A £15 two-course meall deal d l is i available il bl from f 12-7, Monday to Thursday (and also on Sunday for £17). The enhanced menu is proving very popular with locals so booking is advised for evenings and for Sunday lunch.

Congratulations then to all involved on an exemplary upgrade to an already fine pub.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Dear Editor, Your competition in the Autumn/Winter edition of BAR, which I picked up in the Corner Pin in Doncaster, brought back many memories of the Blacker Hill pub to early members of Doncaster CAMRA. In the days before there was a Barnsley Branch of CAMRA, and those at Wakefield, Scunthorpe, Gainsborough, North Notts and Rotherham come to that, Doncaster covered a very large area.

In an effort to distinguish which pubs sold real ale in those far off days we set about visiting as many of the pubs as we could, targeting one area at a time. When it came to the Barnsley area we soon discovered the Royal Albert and would always finish off there after an evening of discovery. We became regulars and were made most welcome by the licensee, Ernest and his wife as well as the locals. Ernest would ask “Why’s tha come all this way to drink beer, in’t there no decent ale in Donny?”

Wards Bitter was the tipple or “Waaads” in the local dialect and the beer was always in good condition. When we had checked every pub in the area, over a period of weeks, except the Elephant and Castle at Hemingfield which we couldn’t find, we arrived early at “Our Albert’s” as we knew it and asked Ernest for directions which he gladly supplied. We left early in pursuit of said Elephant and didn’t return to the area for some time, having tried all the pubs by then.

We then turned our attention to the Retford area. We often wondered if Ernest thought we’d preferred that pub to his which we hadn’t of course.

There were two rooms and a snug and one lasting memory is the juke box where Albatross was always spelt “Albat Ross”.

Life seemed so much more fun in those days of discovery, or is it just rose tinted glasses?

HANNAH AT THE HOB Norwegian-inspired Salmon Soup At this time of year I want food that is light but well flavoured. I am not a fan of what I call baby food, basically sweet and soft mush such as rice pudding and custard. But on holiday, in Bergen, I did try the local hot porridge which is a white sauce made ade with wheat flour and sour cream sprinkled with sugar, cinnamon and pieces of Parma ham. (No oats) OK but odd.

Salmon soup was widely offered. By offered I mean for sale. In Norway we travelled by train to a small town/large village on a fjord.

Unfortunately a cruise ship with about three thousand passengers had disembarked; they were wandering around the quayside stalls and the bar but not spending because food and drink was provided on board. I was becoming annoyed and I wanted some soup but the quayside stall was charging £12 for a large disposable cup of soup. I waited until the next day when we went to a café in another town.

I had a lovely big bowl with quality homemade bread, for the same price. Talking money, beer was about £8 a pint and a bottle plonk, with a meal, £40. The fjord-side orchards produced lovely fresh apple juice but again expensive. We were told that the basic wage in Norway is 35K. We went to a cybercafé in Oslo and I had homemade soup. It was different but equally lovely. I asked the barman about the ingredients and he translated from a notebook next to the

till. I assumed he was ready for queries related to food allergies.

The soup is full flavoured but not dominated by the lemongrass or the coconut milk. It confirms the principle of less being more in cooking. It serves two people as a soup meal.

SALMON SOUP 200g potato peeled & cut into chunks ½ onion finely chopped 2 cloves of garlic crushed 1 stick (10g) lemongrass crushed (it can be woody if not well crushed) 30g peeled ginger crushed 400ml tin coconut milk Salt & pepper to taste 150g skinned salmon cut into large cubes Fresh chopped dill or parsley to garnish Cook the potatoes, drain and put aside (they need to hold their shape and not fall apart).

Cook the onion in oil or butter until soft, add the garlic, lemongrass, ginger & coconut milk.

Season.

Simmer for 20 mins until soft.

Add the potatoes and cook for 5 mins.

Add the salmon and cook covered for approx. 5 mins. Adjust seasoning.

Garnish and serve with bread and a glass of beer.

(Road-tested by the Editor and pronounced delicious)
