Cross Scythes, Sheffield

The Cross Scythes has been in different hands for a while, so I thought it was about time I called in. There was a bustle of preparation for a music event in the evening, and a pizza van had been set up to the left of the bench seating in the area in front of the pub. (There's a more secluded garden behind. Children are allowed except in the Tap Room, which is on the right on entering.) The bar counter is on the right and has four hand pumps at the far end; there's a serving hatch to the tap room. I went for the Purity Mad Goose, which was in decent condition (NBSS 3.5, £4.4/pint). Service was friendly and efficient, and I got a feeling that the people involved here are putting a real effort into making a go of this pub.
