The Sheffield CAMRA monthly Walkabout - a led pub crawl - in August was in Broomhill, and started at the Fox & Duck, which is owned by the Student Union, and has just re-opened following a refurbishment and was looking very smart. An excellent range of beers could be found here, including some from Abbeydale Brewery. The pub was very busy inside due to a Sheffield Wednesday match on the TV, so we sat out in the beer garden.

Next was the Broomhill Tavern for a pint of Tetley’s Bitter (Marstons Pedigree was also available) and again we chose to escape the crowds and drink outside.

Moving on, it was The Place next. A choice of real ales were available,Beer Festival staffing form and a fun and lively atmosphere was enjoyed. The entertainment was a race night theme, with the DJ playing tunes inbetween of the Commercial Dance variety.

The final pub of the night was the Nottingham House, an ex-Firkin pub, with a much more basic interior. A band was just coming to the end of their set as we arrived. That’s about all I can remember of the Notty House as I was quite drunk at that point, I do remember visiting the rather popular Broomhill Friary afterwards for Kebab and Chips before getting a taxi home though...
