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.

The on-site accommodation provides a comfortable and spacious home for the incoming publican. You’ll find three well-sized double bedrooms, a modern family bathroom, a generous lounge ideal for unwinding after service, and a practical kitchen with plenty of room for everyday living. It’s a great setup for anyone looking to run a pub in Sheffield while enjoying the convenience of living right above the business.
