See more about this pub on WhatPub, CAMRA's national pub guide.
A Wetherspoon pub, named after John Flamsteed, first Astronomer Royal, who was born locally. Unusually, this is a pub converted from a supermarket. The large bar, which looks out onto the Market Place through the large glass façade, dispenses seven cask beers. Upstairs is a smaller eating and drinking area and an outside terrace. It is a short walk to Wharncliffe Road for all bus routes.
