The Shiny Sheff is one of those pubs that seem permanently on the edge of closing. Think 'Exciting business opportunity' sign stuck outside.
I think your insurance salesmen and various other penny millionaires, all moved to the Bulls Head at Ranmoor by the late 80s.The Shiny Sheff acquired a more 'diverse' clientele and became popular with the travelling folk from Redmires for a while. It could get 'interesting'. Lovely decking with great views as the sun goes down, but being Lodge Moor it needs to be a sunny day in July/August or you have to fight the polar bears off with sticks.
Rising Sun's main issue is poor service. Loads of staff, but somehow they are all a bit crap. Their other problem is occasional visits from Piggy Pearson who thinks he owns the place.
When l was there at least most of the Bulls Head drinkers had a few quid unlike the credit card kings in the Sheff.
