Another yuppie bar. It was 100 times better and busier all week 20 years ago when Steve and Tracey ran it, full of Sheffielders that travelled from all sides of Sheffield to frequent. People like Jack Wasden from Hunters Bar, propping the bar up telling his tales of travelling the UK with Brendan Ingle assembling boxing rings for demos and bouts to playing football for Sheffield FC to working lifelong as a joiner, a character worth a 100 yuppies.

Read moreGreat pub. Great atmosphere. Small bar but staff always on hand to serve. Real ale served as well as largers.

Great selection of beers, wines and especially ciders. Very friendly and welcoming staff. Thanks Ship Inn we hope to come back and see you...
