Local Amenities
The Climbing Works is well served by all sorts of different local amenities, most of it in walking distance though you will need a car for some of them.
Cash point: Just around the corner on Abbeydale Road (LloydsTSB) or a little further up Abbeydale Road at the big Tesco (less than 1 mile).
Supermarkets:
Up Abbeydale Road, heading out of town towards the Peak you have a Tesco 24 hour (less than 1 mile). Up Abbeydale Road then left at 1st lights (Archer Road) and follow round. Sainsburys (about 1 mile). There is also a Lidl near here
Down Abbeydale Road, towards town. A few Spar type places past the Broadfield. A Waitrose at the bottom of London Rd on the Inner Ring Road.
You can view a link to a Google Map with most of the supermarkets marked here>>
Petrol Station:
Up Abbeydale Road, towards The Peak. Tesco 24 hour (less than 1 mile). There is also one at the Sainsbury’s on Archer Road.
Food:
Lots of sandwich shops on Abbeydale Road, nearest is 100 yards. Various takeaways as well with the best being a proper kebab shop opposite the Broadfield which also offers good veggie pakora.
Restaurants:
Well you pays yer money and you takes yer choice.
Curry houses – lots on Chesterfield Road. New India Garden is cheapish but not so good. Everest is pretty good but you might need to book. Mumtaz is apparently also good. Lots and lots further a field, ask the staff for what they think. Most of them are experts.
Italians. Bragazzi’s Deli - Abbeydale Road towards town, also a few on Chesterfield Road.
Vegetarian. KumQuat Mae, amazing vegetarian food. Most curry houses do lots of vegetarian stuff as do Italians etc.
Others. All sorts of random restaurants around but mainly back into town or on Chesterfield Road. Nearest (but also pretty good) is the Shiraz, Persian restaurant, just around the corner on Abbeydale Road (booking essential). There are also lots of places at the bottom of London Road (back towards town) including noodle bars etc
Pubs:
The Broadfield is probably the closest, down Abbeydale Road towards town. About 0.5 miles on the left. The Millhouse, maybe just as close but on Abbeydale round out of town. Various pubs on Chesterfield Road (the A61), again about 0.5 miles (further if driving). The Sheaf View, maybe a mile away and a common pub hunt of local climbers, excellent beer, no food though. Go left out of the gates, follow Little London Road until the lights, turn right, go to T junction and turn right then first left under the railway bridge.
Hotels:
Sheffield isn’t as well served by hotels as many big cities. All of the budget chains have hotels but they are generally in the city centre. There is a Marriott a couple of miles away (Kenwood Road, S7). There are numerous small independent hotels, guesthouses and B&B’s in Nether Edge, particularly around Washington Road S11 (do a google search)
Off licence:
Threshers - even closer than the cash point. On Abbeydale Road. Oddbins about 0.5 miles down Abbeydale Road. Real Ale off licence on Archer Road (up Abbeydale then left at 1st proper lights – on the way to Sainsburys).
Climbing shops:
The nearest climbing shop is at The Climbing Works!! but if you want nuts, ropes, harnesses etc we recommend a trip to either Crag X at The Foundry or Outside at Hathersage. For cheap deals there is also Decathlon in town and Go Outdoors (aka CCC) near Bramall Lane.
