Since opening in April 2021, The Pangolin has become a local favourite, including being named as Sheffield's best-dog friendly pub in its first year and winning the 2023 Exposed Award for Sheffield's best micropub.

As we firmly believe that this is a safe space for LGBTQ+ Owls and allies, The Pangolin are honoured to be named as our matchday hospitality partner and they will play a part in Rainbow Owls by regularly hosting pre-match social meets for us on home matchdays.
