I'd forgotten how cheap this pub is. £3.30 for a pint of Deception. :drink:

The Wellington and Shakespeare's are both good down Kelham Island way (neither of them are actually on Kelham Island). Wellington's a Neepsend brewery pub. Obviously there's loads of good pubs and bars down there but I tend to rather unfairly file most of the others under either "hipster...

From a "is it a decent pub" perspective, I'd back up the Beer Engine and Sheaf View recommendations on that thread. Brothers Arms slightly further up the hill from the Sheaf View is good as well.

Ideal age to be doing paper rounds and learning how the world works. Cycling 300miles up the A1 to drop my ticket off would soon make them appreciate how lucky they are to be talented footballers.

I'd like them to give u-21s the job of going door to door delivering tickets to people who this isn't an option for. It'd keep them grounded. And it'd be funny.
