Forty Foot

The Forty Foot stands proudly at the centre of its neighbourhood—a true community pub with a loyal local following. Set on a generous plot just three miles north of Sheffield city centre, this well-loved venue has long been a social anchor for residents looking for great pub experiences close to home.

Brimming with atmosphere and activity, The Forty Foot is known for its vibrant programme of events. From live sports screenings and charity fundraisers to social clubs and pub games, there’s always something happening. Its location near the Sheffield Wednesday football ground also brings a fantastic surge of footfall on match days, making it a hotspot for fans looking for pre- and post-match pints.

Inside, two distinct trading areas create flexibility and broad appeal. The main bar is perfect for sports lovers and those who enjoy the buzz of pub games, while the lounge offers a more laid-back setting for relaxed drinks and catch-ups with friends. This combination gives the pub the rare ability to cater to multiple audiences at once—making it an ideal choice for anyone searching for a lively community pub in Sheffield with strong footfall, local engagement, and year-round trade potential.

They intend to support the successful applicant by improving some of the internal trading areas. Examples of some of the projects they undertake in the pub estate can be found in the Investing in Your Pub Brochure here. A more detailed specification of the intended works for this specific pub will be provided to interested parties during the application process. The aim is to undertake the works at the expense as soon as practicably possible once the tenancy has commenced.
