Silkstone, Sheffield

The Silkstone is a fantastic opportunity following on from a huge investment of £240,000 in late 2024. The pub is a large 1960’s style detached property located in a residential area four miles south-east of Sheffield town centre. It is very much a wet-led community pub and is positioned on a busy road with great transport links to and from the city. As well as lots of housing, this suburban area has many amenities including a supermarket, pharmacy, petrol station, school and a parade of shops all within minutes of the pub. Sheffield is linked into the national motorway network via the M1 and M18 motorways. The M1 skirts the north-east of the city, linking Sheffield with London to the south and Leeds to the north; the M18 branches from the M1 close to Sheffield, linking the city with Doncaster and the Humber ports.

Pub Layout

The Silkstone is a single room operation with an open-plan layout with two distinct trading areas around a central bar servery. The bar is prominent and services all areas and is carefully positioned for ease of service on those busy nights, it has a varied product range featuring a great selection of category leading products, complemented by numerous regular weekly promotions, customers can expect exceptional value for their money. To the left of the main entrance is a dedicated sports area, home to a TV screen, pool table and state of the art darts board. The décor of the pub has been revamped with new fixtures and fittings, stylish lighting and modern flooring, ensuring a warm and welcoming environment for all the locals to enjoy. Externally the pub features a raised drinking area at the front of the pub with bench seating, a great space to watch the world go by on a summer evening, as well as a small car park to the right of the pub with approximately ten spaces.

The Silkstone should be a vibrant community pub with something for everyone. With four well placed HDTV screens, it’s the perfect spot to catch all the action from your favourite sports, thanks to full SKY and TNT Sports coverage. The pub also boasts a pool table and darts board, offering plenty of entertainment beyond the screen. It currently supports a pool team, darts team and is backed by a local football team with great potential to grow even further with additional teams. Inside, a mix of fixed and loose seating creates a relaxed, social environment that’s ideal for meeting friends or settling in to enjoy the game. Beyond sport, the Silkstone offers strong weekend entertainment, including DJs and live music, which are always well received. There’s also plenty of opportunity for the new operator to build on this, perhaps by introducing popular community favourites such as quiz nights, Play Your Cards Right, or bingo all of which are a big hit in our Proper Pubs
