Snow Opening Times · 237 days ago by Neil Bentley

Currently (Friday lunchtime) most major main roads in Sheffield are clear of snow/ice, so if you can get off the residential side roads you should have no problems getting to us. For those sticking to public transport we are on the 53 bus route, or just a 10-15min walk from city centre.

We have every intention of remaining open as normal during this winter period, however if we get more heavy snow please phone before travelling. If road conditions deteriorate considerably we may close slightly earlier than normal to ensure staff and customers don’t get stranded.
