The Three Cranes

You'll find The Three Cranes tucked right on Rotherham's High Street, exactly where a good local should be. This is the kind of place where regulars have their spot at the bar and the landlord knows what everyone's drinking before they ask. It's traditional without being stuffy—exposed beams and character aplenty, but the vibe is relaxed and welcoming whether you're popping in for a quick pint or settling in for the afternoon. The real ale selection is taken seriously here, and the food's the sort that actually tastes like something, not faffed about with unnecessarily.
