About this Pub
Why it's great for Matchdays
Only about a 10-minute walk (≈0.6 miles) from Hillsborough, the Horse & Jockey is a convenient pre-match spot. The pub has long been used as the away-designated venue near the ground and has stated both home and away fans are welcome. Multiple sports channels (Sky Sports and TNT Sports) mean you can catch early kick-offs or the late game around the match. The kitchen serves food Thursday–Sunday, which suits lunchtime fixtures and post-match meals. Recent pours logged at the venue include Wainwright, Barnsley Bitter, Stonewall Inn IPA and Murphy’s Irish Stout. It’s also handy for transport, with the Middlewood tram stop around 700m away and several bus routes nearby.

Supper club time! Tonight we took ourselves off to the Horse and Jockey as we had heard great things about their Supper Club. November's edition was focused around a craft beer pairing theme which we couldn't resist and we weren't disappointed! Every course was ridiculously good, and expertly cooked. The beers paired perfectly and you could tell how much thought had been put into the pairings, with most courses including the beer in the cooking too or inspiring the flavours. I won't waffle on about what we ate as there's a photo of the menu, but I will say that the flavours of each dish were amazing, the pork was so tender you could have cut it with a spoon, and the pudding .... Dark chocolate ganache covered in marshmallow with a tinyrebel marshmallow porter was I think the best pud I've ever eaten. There is some serious skill coming out of this kitchen, and @chefalexdevaney 's passion and talent is clear. And for £25pp for 4 courses and 4 paired drinks it's an absolute steal. Food is served here every night , but the next supper club is back next on 🥃🏴26th January with a burns night and whiskey theme, and again on 🧀🍷 23rd Feb for a cheese and drinks night (We have already booked this one! As soon as we got home tonight! Let us know if you wanna join us!) Bookings for these nights would make great Xmas gifts too! 🎄 throughout the lead up to Xmas there are loads of events and offers on too including breakfast with Santa and a bottomless brunch I'm dying to try! (Last pic) Can't get enough of this lovely cosy pub. Get yourself down and booked on to these exceptional foodie nights. - not an ad we just loved it ! Thanks to the team @horsejockeys6_ .

Had Sunday roast dinner, food was great and the staff were very friendly and willing to go the extra mile to make you feel special. Will definitely be going back 👍
Love it in here all year round! Lovely seating area outside for when it's nice, yet super cosy inside when it's a little cooler. The Sunday dinners are excellent, as are the burgers and both great value if you get them in the deals. Fantastic range of drinks and snacks, plus really lovely and welcoming staff, including the landlord who is so friendly and always happy to chat.
We were visiting Sheffield Wednesday and advised this as an away fans pub.A uphill walk to the pub that we found very busy and difficult to get a beer. With not enough staff to serve. In the end gave up
Amazing Sunday lunch. Perfectly cook meat, top-notch toasties, huge selection of vegetables including cauliflower cheese, home-made Yorkshire puddings, stuffing and lovely gravy....all arrived piping hot and amazing value at two for £20.00. Couldn't recommend highly enough
