Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Broadfield

Attractive pub with a less appealing extension on the right-hand side, but once inside, all parts have traditional furniture and decoration. However, the large general seating area was completely full early on a Friday evening (so I had to find a spot to stand), although the restaurant area to the left of the U-shaped bar was yet to fill up. With a total of eight handpumps on different parts of the counter, there was a good choice of cask ale including my 'house' Broadfield Gold from Triple Point.

My second visit to the Broadfield this year - I think it has improved, with a line of six hand pumps on the right hand side, and two solitary ones: one selling Abbeydale Moonshine tucked away in a corner, but "it sells itself" according to the barman; the other with Pedigree, which another drinker was going for his second pint of soon after I arrived. And there were four "changing beers", or one-offs, plus a house beer from owners True North. The general layout, with dining room to left, and an area to the right with a series of booths or snugs made up of glazed screens and with a railway carriage theme remains the same as for a number of years. The music is at a reasonable level, with a connectivity that suggests the involvement of Spotify. I'd probably come here more often if I didn't have so many great pubs nearer to me. This is a good distance for me to walk though, for the exercise, or for the pubs in Heeley across the river, and if the weather is poor there are buses.

It's now 10 years since I last reviewed the Broadfield, though I've probably been here on average about once a year. But this was my first visit since the Covid lockdowns, and I don't think much has changed. The right hand side is still divided into smaller areas which have been done up in a fashion reminiscent of old railway carriages; many hand pumps are still spread in small clumps around the horseshoe-shaped bar counter, with no consolidated list anywhere; the smell of fried fish still pervades the air; and most tables have four or more sets of cutlery. I think there may have been about six beers on, and I'm pretty sure they were all but one of them pale - I went for Acorn Gorlovka 6.0%, an old favourite that I hadn't seen for quite a while.

The background music was particularly grungy, and eventually resolved itself into one of those live albums by Jimi Hendrix that would never have been released if he had not died at age 27. This was somewhat redeemed by the full length version of I Heard It Through the Grapevine by Creedence Clearwater Revival, which I adore, and it's probably the first time I've heard it in a pub. If I could be sure of hearing it again I'd be back tomorrow.
