Mixing good music with good…read moredrinks that are only slightly towards the expensive end of the spectrum, the Common Room is never anything less than welcoming and enjoyable. The quesadillas are damn tasty and the athmosphere during big sporting events is one of the best I've experienced. Watching Jessica Ennis win gold in a packed Common Room was a massive highlight of this year's Olympics for me, glad I experienced it in such a communal and friendly place.

They do sell food, although I've never eaten there, it looks pretty standard fare. There are a couple of very busy pool tables. The majority of seating is in small booth type set-ups. It is never that busy (apart from the pool area) and generally a pretty standard pub with little to either recommend or condemn it.

The boyf, brother, and I went here to meet the boyf's brother for a quick drink and the conversation was quickly on all variations of sport; rugby was on initially, followed by a spot of football and sport headlines, then the F1 took over. As I am not personally inclined to follow sport, other than when suitably hungover or paying the boyf back for making him watch Don't Tell the Bride, I took in my surroundings minus the screens. Bar staff? Friendly, efficient, offering a top up to the ale drinkers if the head was too big. Other Champ-ers? Predominantly men, dotted with the odd couple, but even a few family's enjoying their Saturday afternoon together, seemingly undistracted by the never ending sport (though I'm sure the men had seated themselves appropriately). Non-animated surroundings? Photos of sports people, predominantly Sheffield born around our table, and astroturf outside for sunny days. Actually quite a good spot for a relaxed drink but somewhere I would avoid on proper sports days or any attempt at a sedated evening.

However…read morerecently under new management the direction has changed to that of a Sports Bar, a brave decision when situated in a small village, where the main clientele had always been locals and passers by looking for a stop off to have a relaxing drink and enjoy a quick bar meal. Today the pub houses large TV screens providing a non stop opportunity for drinkers to view football matches etc. This is great for a certain sector of the clientele however not so for those not interested in sport or the constant chatter of the large groups crowding round the screens. The menu is different but it is too early to say whether successful.
