Wellington, Sheffield - Shalesmoor

An old favourite haunt of mine, The Wellington, previously the 'Cask' after changing name from the original 'Welly', back to its original name now. Confusing? Shouldn't be...
Cracking beers in a cracking pub. Little Ale Cart brewery is out the back and produces (mostly) very pale and hoppy bitters, but has also produced some very excellent darker beers too, particularly stouts. Whatever, the quality of their own ales (at least 2 on at any one time) and guests, usually 8 or so ales on the bar plus a real cider, is always spot on.
In addition, you do get some amazing craic at the bar, if you like pubs that sell excellent ales together with 'characters' and 'eccentrics' both sides of the bar, you shouldn't miss the Welly!
The photo above was sent to me by a friend trying to make me jealous on his visiting from Scotland, worked. I am now looking forward to my own next trip to Sheffield, and the Wellington will be one of my first ports of call. Looking forward to it, Happy New Year to all!
