The Three Tuns, Sheffield

A good looking pub that upon entry we were disappointed to find the solitary cask beer on offer was Titanic Plum Porter, a beer that divides opinion and the opinion of the bulk of our small group was it's not for us so we swiftly moved on without taking a drink. The pub though on a very quick inspection is worthy of a visit and will rate it with 7/10 as such.

Classic flat iron pub, long thin place with counter to rear right. Six pulls, only a poorer than normal Bradfield plus two reversed and three blanks. Victorian style interior with banquette seating and Britannia tables. Apparently under new owners so it might improve.

This iconic pub has been through some sticky patches in recent years, but I caught it in vibrant mood on quiz night, bringing back memories of when I used to work just around the corner from here in the 00s. There are seven hand pumps, with a cider and five real ales on the go at the time of my visit: Wychwood Dirty Tackle, Abbeydale Moonshine, Theakstons Old Peculier, Ossett Blond and Titanic Plum Porter. My half of OP was a little tired but with no off flavours; I imagine the Wychwood would have been pretty weary too, as the Rugby Union Six Nations was long since over. However, this is nit picking, as the pub was as lively and pleasant as I remember it in the days when I used to finish work at around 5pm rather than 10. C'est la vie!
