Maggie Mays, Sheffield

We came here on a real ale tour of some of Sheffield's lesser known pubs. I knew there was a hand pump on the bar, as I had been in here about a year ago having heard a rumour to that effect. On that occasion there'd been no beer on, it being the quiet part of the week, but this time we were in luck: Bradfield Farmers Blonde was on! This really is a bar for people less than half our age, though the beer was OK and the music was not too loud for us to continue our conversation: we were in fact the only people there at 6.30pm.
