Thornbridge & Co is to open a new site, The Fargate, just across from Sheffield Town Hall as part of the new developments taking place throughout Sheffield city centre.

“The Fargate is going to be one of Sheffield’s most prominent pubs, with over £1 million of investment being made on the new bespoke interior,” said Thornbridge director Jamie Hawksworth.
“This is going to be a wonderful showcase for the brewery, and its beers will be served over a beautiful polished oak island bar surrounded by hand-crafted oak panelling and leather banquet seating.
“We think it will be a great boost to the great work already been made to make the city centre great again. Work is expected to start on the fit-out later this year, with an opening date yet to be announced.”
Fellow director, Simon Webster, added: “We have been working with Sheffield City Council for over a year in identifying this site and then working together to offer outdoor seating as part of the new Fargate development. The views from both inside and out of this prestigious building will add to the customer experience.
“Thornbridge & Co is delighted to be able to invest in Sheffield City Centre and is delighted to be part of the new development of Fargate and create a great gateway to Heart of The City”
Ben Miskell, chair of the transport, regeneration, and climate policy committee at Sheffield City Council, said: “I’m delighted to welcome this fantastic addition of Thornbridge & Co to our rapidly transforming city centre.
“The Fargate will breathe new life into a beautiful building across from the Town Hall and will fit in brilliantly alongside the many new shops, offices, and other hospitality venues that are opening up throughout the city centre.
“The addition of outdoor seating, made possible thanks to the improvements to the surrounding area, along with the bespoke interior, will add The Fargate to the list of must-visit places within Sheffield.”.
Just what the doctor ordered — this is Stancill’s first time brewing with the Dr Rudi hop from New Zealand. It’s known for excellent bittering qualities and fresh grassy flavours. With lemongrass and pine notes, it comes in at 4% ABV.
Brew York has collaborated with Ossett Brewery on Splinter, a 4% ABV yuzu pale. “This citrus twist adds a burst of tangy, aromatic freshness that complements the malt and hop profile,” say the brewers.
Borderline (4.8% ABV) is a New Zealand lager from Overtone. Clear golden, it offers delicate floral undertones from Wakatu and Motueka hops. Also new this week is Colossus, a 10% ABV triple IPA hopped with Nelson Sauvin, Mosaic, and Cryo Pop.
