Norfolk Arms, Sheffield

My first visit to the Norfolk Arms after nearly a quarter of a century living in Sheffield. At first the doorway was blocked by a couple of smokers, but after that I got a friendly welcome from customers and staff alike. Several women were dancing to Tamla Motown records and everyone was having a good time. No real ale (WhatPub says they have some on from Thursday each week, but this was a Sunday), so I had a choice of Stones or John Smiths, just like Alan did more than a decade ago. My half of Stones cost only £1.15, so how could I complain about it being pretty disappointing? What's that? I should come back on a Thursday to check if there really is any real ale? Maybe next year.

The Norfolk Arms used to be a Stones tied house. This pub is close to the markets and opens earlier than other pubs in this area. Once inside here the bar faces you and i could only see the one room which was very busy just after 10.00 in the morning,there were no real ales on here i had a drink of keg Stones bitter which was'nt that good there was also the usuall John Smiths smooth crap.
