Hoyland Common Congratulations for Autumn Pub of the Season go to the Keys at Hoyland Common. This busy, large roadside pub is set back from the main Sheffield Road exit off the Birdwell roundabout near the M1. The pub and other businesses’ here are putting up with the major roadworks pretty well. The open plan rooms have contemporary seating areas for diners and drinkers alike, while there is private booth seating near the main bar. Tables near the bar are mainly for the drinkers along with the odd bar stool at the bar itself. Vic Bains became the owner of the pub back in early 2014 and after a transforming and extensive refurbishment the pub opened in December that same year. The pub quickly became a real ale drinkers destination with the offer of a discount for CAMRA Members of 50p off a pint of real ale and 25p off a half when you show your CAMRA Membership Card, for each member. The three real ales are sourced mainly from local breweries including the likes of Little Critters from Sheffield and Magic Rock from Huddersfield being popular at this time. The pub showcases extra cask beers during its two popular real ale festivals each year, one on the Spring Bank Holiday and another on the August Bank Holiday. Chris Hague joined the team as pub manager in July 2016 and made a few changes to the bar, reducing the cask choice slightly and adding the craft. Senior staff members here at the Keys go on cellar management courses which include stock control, looking after, storage and serving cask beers. Food here is very popular and can get quite busy at times, and it is always advisable to book a table, this is easily done through their website: thekeyshoyland.co.uk So, back to congratulating the Keys on its Autumn Pub of the Season. Barnsley CAMRA will be making the presentation to the team at the Keys on the evening of Thursday 16th November at around 9pm. Catch the 66 bus from Barnsley at 7.35pm. So again, congratulations to the Keys on this well deserved award.

Shaw Lane Sports Club Situated amongst the urban sprawl on the fringe of Barnsley Town Centre just off Shaw Lane is The Shaw Lane Sports Club. Occupying an 18 acre site that brings a touch of greenery and peace to the hustle and bustle of town life, the club is also an excellent venue for a great pint of cask ale. The club has won numerous CAMRA awards including in the past Club of the Year. The branch has also previously held a beer festival here. The clubhouse bar is warm and welcoming with views over the cricket field. The decor is modern and clean and there is always a buzz about the place.

Wortley is a village that is just over 8 miles away from Barnsley in South Yorkshire. The club is situated in the centre of the village at the back of the Wortley Arms public house. It is run by Nigel & Teresa Pickering, who said they were delighted to have won the competition again. The club is described in the CAMRA Good Beer Guide 2017 as: “Set in the pretty rural village of Wortley, near Wortley Hall and gardens. The opulent building features exposed timber frames, ornate ceilings, wooden panelling and a real fire.” Timothy Taylor Landlord is on sale regularly, and two guest ales are obtained from local and national breweries. A changing real cider is always available. The club runs an annual beer festival in July.” CAMRA’s Yorkshire Regional Director, Kevin Keaveny, said “This fourth win in a row shows the club’s continued commitment to high standards. It also shows that a club in a village can thrive if the management offer the members the products, facilities, and level of service that they require.” The Oakworth Social Club in Oakworth was the Runner–up in the competition. The club is situated on Chapel Lane in the village, and is run by Dale Walsh & Louise Shimmin, who were said to be “really chuffed” when they heard of the club’s success in the competition. The club is described on CAMRA’s WhatPub.com online pub and club guide as “Friendly and welcoming, an imposing Victorian building on the main thoroughfare. Originally built as the Liberal Club in the late 19th century, it has a comfortable lounge style front bar, with another bar serving room at the back with traditional games and TV. There is a third upstairs bar and function room.” The licensees of both clubs will be presented with framed certificates on Saturday afternoons in October. The date for the Wortley Men’s Club Presentation is Saturday 14th October at 2pm, the date for Oakworth Social Club will be announced soon as possible. The fourteen clubs nominated for this year’s prestigious title were visited by five judges over a three and a half month period. Each nomination was scored against strict criteria that included an emphasis on the Quality of Real Ale and the Temperature it was served at. Also considered were Atmosphere, Style/Decor, Service and Welcome, and Alignment with CAMRA’s Principles.

Cawthorne Village Club For this club scene article we revisit a great village club that offers the real ale drinker a superb pint and is situated in one of the prettiest villages in the borough. Cawthorne Village Club is located in the village of Cawthorne on Tivy Dale close to the entrance to the village Cricket ground amongst lovely period houses and in beautiful countryside. When the club was first formed the club was located in an old Army hut that came from nearby Cannon Hall. The hut was originally been used as part of an army camp there during WW2. The club now stands in an impressive stone open plan building on the same site. Outside is a lovely woodland seating area and to the front a patio area with wooden seating to enjoy the fresh country air. Inside the open plan main room includes plenty of seating, snooker table and main bar area. Major sports are shown on the TV. The club hosts a regular open mic and a monthly quiz night. The club offers the real ale drinker a choice of two cask ales. The first, Taylors Landlord, is a permanent beer whilst the second pump offers rotating guest ales sourced from local breweries. On my recent visit I enjoyed a great pint of Abbeydale Moonshine. Other recent breweries to be featured include the likes of Jolly Boys. The club offers a popular food menu including Sunday lunch and themed nights such as fish â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;nâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; chips.

FREE ADMISSION Sponsorship Available barnsleycamra.org.uk/sponsor Festival Subject to Approval
Festival Roundup The #ElsecarByTheSea event is now in its fourth year, and well established in the local Elsecar calendar with the Gala in the Park and events in the Heritage Centre and local pubs. This year’s festival was a success at the Milton Hall, getting more popular each year. Thursday is becoming an enjoyable quiet evening, with entertainment on the Friday night from La Fox and Dearne Big Band on Saturday night. You managed to drink your way through over SLQWV RI UHDO DOH WKLV LQFOXGHG some reserve casks we had on site, 350 plus pints of real cider, 350 pints of craft beer on draught and a small bottle mountain of world beers. I would like to thank everyone who came and enjoyed the fantastic atmosphere within the festival, and surrounding events, but we couldn’t have done this without the efforts of our unpaid volunteers who give up hours in the pursuit of making this festival a huge success. I also would like to thank Maison du Biere at Elsecar
Heritage Centre for sourcing the craft and world bottle range and running the bar and to our local breweries Acorn, Greeves and Jolly Boys and now the new 2 Roses, who always supply great local beers to the festival. Other sponsors quietly helped in the background with the likes of transport and programme adverts. Just an added note for our local good cause, Barnsley War Memorials Project, you managed to raise a massive £638.79 through the raffles and glass donations - Thank you!! Now as the doors close on the festival season in Barnsley for 2017, I am reflecting on both our festivals #ElsecarByTheSea and Elsecar Heritage Railway Beer and Music Festival, all the fun, laughter and tears, the plans that worked and others that didn’t, are all becoming distant memories. Those we wouldn't have without all the dedication and tireless hard work of the volunteers that came and made both festivals a huge success. As it’s a round up of our festivals a big thank you to all our volunteers,
the festival committee, our suppliers, concessions and all the people that attended. Plans have already started for next year’s events, the first will be the first bank holiday in May (4th - 7th May 2018) at Elsecar Heritage Railway, where we will keep the format of the double marquee which everyone who attended thought was fantastic and enhanced the weekend event. If you fancy helping out at the next festival(s) then consider joining the Campaign for Real Ale, CAMRA and we look forward to pulling a few pints with you in 2018.

:KDW 0\ 5LJKW $UP ,V )RU During the weekend of September 7-8,1974 (43 years ago) protest marchers descended on Barnsley in the bid to save Barnsley’s Bitter. Hundreds of members of the Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) from all parts of the country including Barnsley CAMRA who were founded on 25th May 1974 to plan the march, were handed maps on which 13 pubs which still served the Barnsley brew had been marked. The idea was to sample a pint in each pub before a march through the town. Police made a last-minute change in their destination, which was to have been the doomed Oakwell Brewery. A deputation from the local branch later handed in a protest letter at the brewery. A John Smith’s spokesman denied that a company policy existed to phase out Barnsley Bitter. In fact sales figures were alleged to have risen since “Smiths pubs were installed in many public houses”, he said. “Tadcaster brew seems to go down better than Barnsley Bitter because the quality of the product comes more to the customer expectations. “The traditional bitter in a wooden barrel requires more expert attention and consistent cellar temperatures. We are at a loss to understand why a campaign is necessary,” he added. On January 31, 1976, The Star announced the end of Barnsley Bitter was nigh. For the news tipplers had been fearing had finally arrived from Tadcaster – the last deliveries were to be made in April. Thus, from the week beginning March 29, the last few barrels of Barnsley Bitter were loaded and shipped out of the town’s brewery. As the brewery turned off the taps for the last time, the beer was taken to the few remaining pubs and clubs still serving the full-bodied brew.

Adam carefully knocks a venting PEG into the top of a cask of beer, then hammers the serving tap into the bunghole. An everyday event in thousands of pubs – but when you learn that Adam’s last name is Laszlo, you will appreciate that this is not the Dog & Duck on a Wednesday, but a bar in Budapest, the capital of Hungary. It’s called the Cask Ale Bar and it’s part of a remarkable collection of outlets that make up Élesztö (yeast) at 22 Tüzoltö, a former factory. An arcade feeds two pubs, restaurant, wine bar, Brew Studio for home-brewing courses, tea shop and hostel. The bar is at the end of the tree-shrouded arcade and Blue Cat is being pulled through two handpumps. Adam and his partner, Zsolt Kosztolanyibaji, are two passionate brewers with a tiny plant called Hübris where they produce lager: “You have to make lager to survive in Hungary,” Adam says. But they are also gypsy brewers, using other breweries’ kit to make more innovative beers. They met up with Tom Bolt of Signature Brew in London and Tom inducted them into the time-honoured rituals of making cask ale. Casks were brought to Budapest, pale malt was sourced from Belgium and a single English hop, Minstrel, was imported to make the 4 per cent ABV beer. It’s a fine beer. It has pear drop fruit, earthy hops and a fresh bread grain note on the aroma, with a fine balance of malt, hops and fruit in the mouth, and a finish in which hops and fruit dominate. It’s disappearing at a rate of knots in Élesztö. Hübris is part of a fast-changing beer scene in Hungary. I spoke to Daniel Bart who launched the first ‘craft’ brewery – Keserü Méz (bitter moon) in 2011, and he also organised the first ‘craft’ beer festival that same year. He explained

A.I. is too important to be left in the hands of machines. The A.I. we’re referring to isn’t Artificial Intelligence, it’s Ale Intelligence, of course. We’re not technophobes, we just don’t trust anything incapable of smelling, feeling or tasting to create something as delicately balanced as Landlord. That’s why we have five hands-on, Heriot-Watt trained brewers involved in every step of the process, from barley delivery to filling the casks. This way, we can make sure that every sip of Taylor’s is as delicious as humanly possible. Machines may one day take over the world, just be thankful you won’t be around to drink their terrible beer.

To do this we will be catching buses on the 20 and 22 route operated by Stagecoach Yorkshire. The day ticket to jump on and off their buses is £4.20 So let’s hop on a bus and pop to the pubs. The number 20 runs at 15 minutes past the hour from Barnsley Interchange until 1520 1625 1725 where as the 22 I can only say runs randomly approximately every 30 mins. So we head out and travel for 9 minutes going past the our first destination pub, the Dodworth Valley. After crossing the M1 on the bus, alight on Barnsley Road near Cost Cutters and walk back to the pub. This pub was built in 2008 on Jct 37 of the M1. Large rooms for the drinking public and large area for the food. The Toby Carvery pub offers a good value pint of up to 2 real ales, Acorn Barnsley Bitter and Leeds Pale are the usual beers on offer but can change, and do. Food here is, as the chain name suggests, a carvery and again is good value. The pub can get quite busy in the food area. The décor here is pine wood with the walls being adorned with photos of films and cartoons. The building is warm and friendly with a small beer garden. Once we have finished here we head back to the bus stop (it’s 5 mins away remember). You need to be on the 22, this will get you to Dodworth High Street, if you catch the 20, it’s a 10 minute walk from the train station bus stop. Our next call is the Thornely Arms. This three roomed pub is very much a community local, offering local chat whether you’re a regular or visiting, conversation here is king. The bar is the main drinking area for some regulars but they’re a friendly bunch and will move aside if it’s busy. The three cask beers here are usually two from the Marston’s range of breweries like Ringwood, Wychwood, Thwaites etc with one beer being a guest beer from outside the portfolio. All refreshed? Then off we go. It’s just a short walk to the Travellers Inn on Green Road. This pub dates back to 1782 and is rumoured to
have two ghosts, Mary, a Victorian lady and a Roman soldier. The three areas of the pub include the restaurant, the bar drinking area and the lounge. The pub offered the drinkers a beer festival on August Bank Holiday and the plan to do this again is well on the cards. The large beer garden is a must during the warm autumn days and the views over Stainborough are wonderful. The pub offers three real ales with Hobgoblin Gold being a permanent and the other two are what Steve the landlord decides, which so far have been met with approval from the regulars. From here you now need to make your way to catch the number 20 bus to Hoylandswaine (we will pick up Silkstone on another trip). Make your way to the bus stop near the top of Mitchelson Ave, near Dodworth train station. Now it’s just a 10 minute ride on the 20 bus to the Rose and Crown. This small gem of a pub offers the real ale drinker a choice of up to four real ales, with at least one being from the local area. Past Autumn Pub of the Season winner, and well deserved too. Open all day and a true village traditional. The pub opens at 10am selling tea, coffee, sandwiches and newspapers. Meals are served from noon onwards. Just a short walk from the pub is the Hoylandswaine Sports Club. The club is located in the heart of the village and popular with locals. The fast changing beers are sourced from local breweries. The terraced area with panoramic views is the ideal place to watch the world go by or a game of cricket. Ask if you can be signed in before buying any beer. Closed Mondays and opens late Tue to Fri (Open 12noon Sat and Sun) Note Winter hours for Saturday are 2pm till midnight. Now our last call is the Lord Nelson. This pub/restaurant has for many years been offering good quality food. The food area is most of the front of the pub, while the drinking area is to the left of the bar and the bar area itself. The beer here is quite often Timothy Taylors Golden Best. That’s six pubs/clubs on one trip, quite enough for one day I think. I will pick up Silkstone and Oxspring on the next trip out.

In July, Barnsley CAMRA made its Summer Pub of the Season to the Crystal Palace, Thurlstone. The night was full of entertainment from the Buskers evening and a great crowed were present for the presentation by Pubs Promotions Officer, Phil Gregg to Julie and Keith Riggett (Bottom left picture). Beers on offer on the evening were Acorn Barnsley Bitter, Jolly Boys Blond and Jolly Boys IPA. The pub was saved from closure three years ago and since then the new owners decided to introduce cask ale from local breweries. Congratulations once again to the hard working team at the Crystal Palace. Next time youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re passing stop and call in.

The Dearne Grove Inn – Does it have a First World War Connection? The Tasker Trust has accumulated a large collection of photographs of Barnsley and the surrounding area which are available to view on its website. While old photos help us understand the history of the area in which we live, sometimes they pose their own questions. This picture, from the Tasker collection, shows the Dearne Grove Inn on Pontefract Road at Hoyle Mill (now an Indian restaurant), and judging by the uniforms of the men, possibly around the time of the First World War. The name above the door is partially visible, “omas Plea”. Why would a wagon full of luggage, presumably belonging to the soldiers pictured, be photographed outside a pub? In the census in April 1911 Thomas Pleasant, aged 47, was listed as the publican at the Dearne Grove Inn. He was originally from Branton, which is a small village nine miles east of Doncaster. He had been in Barnsley for long enough to marry a local girl, Lavinia, twenty four years previously (the 1911 census gives us much more information about marriages than previous census returns) and they had only one child, a daughter called Ethel born in 1891. The pub had ten rooms, not counting the kitchen, and Thomas employed a local girl, Mabel Lofthouse aged 17, as a live in servant. Ten years previously the family had lived at 55 Brinckman Street, just off Sheffield Road on the outskirts of Barnsley. Thomas’ occupation then had been Glass Bottle Maker. In May 1911 Ethel Pleasant married William Palmer at Christ Church, Ardsley, which was the parish church covering the Hoyle Mill area. William’s occupation at his marriage was ‘Professional Footballer’ and although Ethel’s home address is given as the Dearne Grove Inn her father’s occupation is given as Bottle Maker suggesting that the running of the pub was supplemental to his main job in one of the nearby glassworks. Wood Brothers Glassworks had been at Hoyle Mill since 1872 but nearby there were also Redfearns at Old Mill and Rylands at Stairfoot. The previous landlord of the Dearne Grove had been James Hirst, who is listed in the 1891 census as a ‘Beerhouse Keeper’ telling us that he did not have a licence for spirits at that time. James was still running the pub in the 1901 census, and a report in the Sheffield Daily Telegraph in February 1910 tells of an application for alteration of the licensee. This narrows down the origin of the photo to after that date. By 1911 the Hirst family was living on Oakwell Lane, where James Hirst snr was a ‘Retired Publican’. He had two sons, Albert born in 1877 in Wombwell and James born in 1890, at the Dearne Grove Inn. Albert was the founder of the well-known Barnsley pork butchery business. James Hirst junior was in the Territorials before the war and was serving as a Lieutenant with 20th Battalion, London Regiment when he was killed in action in September 1918. Both boys had attended Barnsley Holgate Grammar School and more can be found about them in the book, “Great Sacrifice”. Many mentions of Thomas Pleasant’s professional footballer son-in-law, William Palmer, can be found in local and national newspapers. Originally from Barnsley, in 1912 he transferred from Rotherham County to Bristol Rovers, and in 1913 he moved to Everton. In 1915 he moved to back to Barnsley where he assisted ‘his father-in-law in the “public” business’ (Liverpool Echo 10 Aug 1915) and joined Barnsley at Oakwell for the 1915-16 season. In September 1915 it was noted that many of the former Everton players had either enlisted or were ‘engaged on Government work in other towns’ (Sports Argus 4 Sep 1915). Continues on page 19 Ź

The Dearne Grove Inn – Does it have a First World War Connection? Continued from page 17 Similarly nine of Barnsley’s players were reported as having enlisted by May 1916 (Star Green ‘Un 27 May 1916). By the time the 1918 Electoral Register was compiled he was serving with the Royal Garrison Artillery as Gunner 188607. His Service Records note that he attested in December 1915, probably under the Derby scheme, but was not mobilised until December 1917, arriving in France in March 1918. William survives the war and transfers back to Bristol Rovers in 1919 (Western Daily Press 17 Oct 1919). He retired from football in 1924. Thomas Pleasant’s wife Lavina had died age 49 in October 1912 and was buried in Barnsley Cemetery from the Dearne Grove Inn. This would have left Thomas short-handed in the pub, no wonder he was keen to have William Palmer’s help during the war. However a report in the Sheffield Evening Telegraph notes that the licensee in March 1916 was a Bernard Briggs. Thomas Pleasant died in 1923 and is buried at Barnsley Cemetery with his wife and two of his Palmer grandchildren who died in infancy. The photograph on page 17 had to have been taken between February 1910 and March 1916. It is of a very good quality and zooming into the image it is possible to see that the cap badge being worn by the men is very likely that of the York and Lancaster Regiment but there is no obvious connection between soldiers in this regiment and the pub during the war.
Close up of driver of the wagon’s cap. York and Lancaster cap badge The photograph on page 17 may show a group of York and Lancaster Regiment Territorial soldiers departing for a summer training camp just before the war. Maybe the men borrowed the pub’s wagon, or met up at the pub before setting off. Does anyone have any information that might help clarify this? Ainsworth, J.

Macaroni Cheese Macaroni cheese is a quick meal that is comforting and easy to microwave. But is also easily adapted into luxurious meal when served with a green salad or tomato salad. Even more lovely but unhealthy when accompanied with garlic bread.

Macaroni cheese has moved around the world becoming Mac n Cheese in the USA.

Pasta was brought to Europe by the Arabs through Sicily but there are as many conflicting legends as there are pasta shapes. Ancient Greeks occupied parts of Italy and they used macaroni in the broth that was served at wakes. The Normans brought pasta to Britain in 1066.The British Library has a recipe for a pasta dish called lozyns which is strips of flat pasta similar to lasagne but the sauce is made of cheese, powered ginger and cinnamon. It was served to Richard 11 around 1380. He was the king that died at Pontefract Castle.
Italians have carbonara and also macaroni with aubergine/broccoli, tomato and cheese. In the Caribbean macaroni pie is popular served cold. It is not a pastry pie but pasta in a sauce with black pepper, curry powder and chilli sauce. For a pastry pie then go to Scotland. In 2015 Greggs stopped selling the pie in Scotland and the resulting protest was supported by Nicola Sturgeon (SNP) In 1770 Elizabeth Raffold published a recipe Ruth Davidson (Conservative) and Kezia for pasta in a cheese sauce but Eliza Acton Dugdale (Labour).

A pinch of paprika of Hugh Laurie as the Prince Regent in makes the sauce more colourful. Make a Blackadder.
