The Devonshire Cat

Fantastic real ale pub in Sheffield. Went last weekend and the selection of ales, draughts and foreign beers is exceptional. Great pub grub as well. Recommend to anyone if you're looking for somewhere to go this bank hol!

 

One of the few town centre pubs worth a visit. I always pop round to the Washington round the corner after I've been to the Dev Cat. If you like real ale Kelham Island has a couple if cracking real ale. Pubs.

Have to give them both a try this Sunday then.

 

One of my favourite pubs, they do very nice burgers as well.

I'll be at the Barnsley beer festival on Sunday though

 

Any particular drinks you'd recommend at the cat?

 

Not been for a while so depends what they have on. Last time was just before Christmas and I had Acorn 11th Noel, I normally don't have Acorn beers there because I can get them easily enough but as that was their Christmas ale so not available for long, and bloody gorgeous, I had to have some while I had the chance! Always like the Abbeydale beers though, particularly Moonshine. The Hop just across the park is worth a visit as well. Pie, mash and mushy peas and a pint of Ossett beer for a fiver!

Some great real ale pubs in Sheffield, can do 2 or 3 pub crawls taking in different areas.

 

Try the Fat Cat And Kelham Island Tavern with food at the Waterside that's a good little run. Looking forward to beer festival at the weekend though.

 

Good call - decent grub at the Waterside. The Harlequin nearby is worth a visit as well.

 

The Devonshire Cat is everything a city centre pub should be. Big and spacious with a huge bar and good food, and a stunning selection of ales, both on tap and bottled. I wasn't impressed with The Washington last time I was in Sheffield around this time last year. Empty (on a Saturday night), stank of piss, and the only ale on tap was John Smiths iirc! Seemed to be getting by on reputation alone.

 

I like The Rutland Arms in Sheffield. It's a bit shabby, but there are plenty of real ales, cheap good food, a walled outside area for when it's warm and it's only a couple of minutes to the train station.

I'll give The Devonshire Cat a go when I'm next there though.

 

A nice real ale at minute is stancil - Barnsley bitter or acorn - pride of ringwood

 

Was in the Rutland last night fantastic place. My head was a bit fuzzy this morning note to self crisps are not food

 

Have you been down kelham island? If you like Rutland arms you will really like it down there. Fat cat, kelham island tavern and riverside all very good especially fat cat. Fat cat food tremendous with great bar snacks, proper pork pies etc. Milestone serves very nice more upmarket food too.

 

Thanks very much for the tip. Will give it a go.

 

Nice one. Pint of pale rider or easy rider in there - never tasted a better pint.

 

I find it rather bland, I also had the Stancil Blonde today and that was bland as well.

 

Nice place. Handy for gigs at the Leadmill as well. Cracking burrito place just around the corner as well.

 

I really liked the Stancil Blonde - not so keen on their other beers though.
