Ranmoor Inn, Sheffieldback to pub details please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
The barmaid poured us samples of each of the 4 local ales (and Taylor's Landlord) on tap as soon as we showed interest, and all 5 were on good form. A nice touch was the spotlessly clean glasses used for our choices - not a point you might normally notice but it adds to a good drinking experience. This is a well-kept, neat and tidy pub which deserves its obvious popularity. The guvnor was also present, and he told us a little about the other pubs in his group as well as his history in the drinks trade. A place where things are done properly and I look forward to calling again when in the area.

I would totally agree with the last reviewer about this pub which was worth the bus ride out of the city centre. Nice pint of beer (Farmers Blonde), comfortable surroundings and a good feel to the place. Spotlessly clean and tidy. Food available and it looks as though they a piano player on occassions. A good pub!!

Stone-built traditional pub in the leafy suburb of Fulwood, about 2 miles west of the city centre. It's an attractive pub and this is enhanced by the impressive Ranmoor Church which towers above it. Inside, it's relatively opened out but not without character, with the feel of separate drinking areas due to some remaining partition walls. As noted it is not difficult to imagine the original layout of the pub. It also has impressive original etched windows and a real fire at the front pictures of old Sheffield and the usually pubby stuff to add character.
It's a clean, well-looked after place without being clinical, and seems popular with all ages.
The beer selection was good, although it doesn't match that of the Rising Sun up the road. Nevertheless, like most Sheffield pubs local microbreweries are well represented, with Abbeydale and Bradfield plus Timothy Taylor's Landlord. The Bradfield Farmer's Blonde was a good pint as ever.
Not a must visit, but if you're in the area it's definitely worth popping in and combining with the Rising Sun up the road.

Cosy, friendly, traditional local virtually next door to Ranmoor Church in the suburb of Fulwood and only a shortish walk away from The Rising Sun.
It's a largish open plan interior, much larger inside than you would expect when looking at the pub from front on outside.
It's an Enterprise Inns free house, listed in the 2009 GBG, and was serving Bradfield beers and Abbeydale beers, inter alia, on my recent visit.
The Bradfield Farmers Ale is a fine malty pint, worth sampling.
The pub retains some original features including etched glass - "smoke room"- and - "Tennants Ales" - and a Ranmoor Inn floor mosiac in the entrance and it is clear that this was once a multi roomed pub.
If you're doing The Rising Sun down the road, you should call in on this one as well if you can

Pretty much the perfect pub. Fantastic setting, friendly staff and locals. great real ales, chilled white wine (a big plus for my wife).
The seating is comfy and a nice outside area. Newspapers provided.
My current favourite pub.

Depending on your viewpoint you may feel that the Host is somewhat standoffish or you may feel he is a landlord of the old school. I will leave it for others to decide. What I do know is that the beer is excellent and generally a nice selection to choose from. The atmosphere inside and out, is tasteful and convivial. The setting is fantastic being overlooked by the local church. Clientelle are a friendly good humoured bunch. Food when I went - please check this still stands - was lunchtimes only but was very well presented and realistically sized portions. Expect to mingle with students in term time.

Lovely pub, I just moved down the road and am quite happy having this as one of the locals!
Great range of beer and very well kept. Decor is beaut, spot on example of a Victorian Yorkshire drinking palace. Friendly staff, it's spotless, and the clientele are pleasant. Dunno about the food but the rest of it is pretty good

Nigel the landlord has and continues to do an excellent job as host, the atmosphere is freindly and it greatly benefits from not having amusements and crappy music....
Keep it up!

Good selection of lagers, and a nice pint of Staroparaman.
|
the best preserved pub in the whole district, good selection of draught beers, with good atmosphere. Now the student staff/trade has diminished it's back to normal!
