Sheffield has a reputation for being the beer capital of England, so it's only right that you indulge in exploring it's offerings. The ale trail is a loose collection of pubs centred on the Kelham Island area of the city, a short walk from the city centre. Working your way out from the city centre, kick off at The Shakespeare on Gibraltar Street, then wind your way on to The Ship, the award-winning Fat Cat, the award-winning Kelham Island Tavern, The Riverside, The Gardeners Rest (tap pub for the Sheffield Brewery Company), Hillsborough Hotel (with on-site Crown Brewery), and a little further out, The New Barrack Tavern. Don't worry, you can jump on the tram back in to the city centre...or retrace your wobbly steps.

This is the best pub in Sheffield, without a doubt. A classic town pub. It is the brewerey tap for the Kelham Island Brewery and the beer range changes frequently. The food is excellent and very good value.

The Fat Cat, 23 Alma Street, Sheffield, S3 8SA

Just north of the City centre, next to the Kelham Island Industrial Museum
