Thornbridge & Co announces new Fargate pub

Thornbridge & Co, a joint venture between Thornbridge Brewery and Pivovar, which already runs three pubs, has announced it will open a new site ‘The Fargate’ just opposite Sheffield Town Hall as part of new developments taking place in the city center Sheffield.

Work on “The Fargate” will begin later this year, with an opening date yet to be announced.

Director Jamie Hawksworth explained: “The Fargate will be one of Sheffield’s most prominent pubs, with over £1m of investment being made in the new bespoke interior.

“This will be a wonderful showcase for The Brewery and its beers will be served on a beautiful polished oak bar, surrounded by hand-crafted oak paneling and leather banquette seating.

“We think it will be a tremendous boost to the great work already done to make downtown great again.”

Fellow director Simon Webster added: “We have been working with Sheffield City Council for over a year to identify this site and are then working together to provide outdoor seating as part of the new Fargate development.

“The views from both the interior and exterior of this prestigious building will add to the customer experience. Thornbridge & Co is delighted to be able to invest in Sheffield City Center and is delighted to be part of the new Fargate development and create a great gateway to the Heart of The City.”

Cllr Ben Miskell, Chair of Sheffield City Council’s Transport, Regeneration and Climate Policy Committee, said: “I am delighted to welcome this fantastic addition by Thornbridge & Co to our rapidly transforming city centre.

“Fargate will breathe new life into a beautiful building opposite City Hall and will fit in brilliantly with the many retail, office and other hospitality venues opening up downtown.

The addition of outdoor seating, made possible by improvements to the surrounding area, together with the bespoke interior, will add The Fargate to Sheffield’s must-see list.”
