***Sadly now closed*** While the boys were away at their grandparents’ for a few days over half term, hubby and I took the opportunity for a hard-earned night out. A little bit of research on somewhere new to eat brought us to Otto’s Restaurant on Sharrow Vale Road, followed by a Last Laugh Comedy night just across … Continue reading
Before Christmas, I was promoting a BBC show being recorded in Sheffield, as they were looking for participants to take part in a gluten free trial. Very intriguing. The trial has been done now, and I’ll be interested to see the show… However, I recently heard, from a friend who took part in the trial, … Continue reading
We took the kids for a well deserved pub tea with some friends last week. We chose the Norfolk Arms in Ringinglow. Partly because I was previously tipped off about their gluten free menu and partly because they could accommodate eight of us at short notice. Yes, they have a separate NGCI menu (no gluten containing ingredients), … Continue reading
I went out to Ashoka on Ecclesall Road for a Christmas meal last week. And I’m very pleased to report that it’s another good option for gluten free food on Ecclesall Road, as there don’t seem to be that many at the moment, particularly individual places that aren’t part of a chain. I called the … Continue reading
I went back to Carluccios recently. I was looking for somewhere interesting to go on Ecclesall Road with some family friends at the end of the summer holidays, and given the range of eateries on Eccy Road, it’s surprising that so few have much in the way of a gluten free offer. I’m yet to thoroughly … Continue reading
My youngest boy’s absolute favourite meal in the world is fish and chips. Which is why I was delighted when somebody on Twitter let me know that there is a chippy in Sheffield that serves gluten free fish and chips. As it was small’s birthday this week, there seemed no better option than to take … Continue reading
Hubby and I celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary this week! What a decade it’s been: we moved to Sheffield and made it our home, we got cats, kids, moved house twice. Lots to celebrate. Obviously, a swanky meal out is called for, and we had a lovely meal somewhere we’d been keeping for a special … Continue reading
The long(ish) awaited and much publicised Summer House near Dore and Totley train station has opened this month. I popped in earlier this week for a coffee with a friend, which gave me a chance to check out the menu. Folks, the initial reports are looking rather good if you’re a coeliac. There is a rather … Continue reading
In the summer holidays, I went with my family to a restaurant called Ego in Lytham St Annes on the Fylde seaside. I don’t normally write about restaurants outside of Sheffield, but Ego is a small chain of ten restaurants, and it just so happens there is one right here on our doorstep, in Sheffield town centre. … Continue reading
I took hubby to Lokanta in Broomhill for some Turkish tapas on his birthday this weekend. Having seen their website earlier this year talking about their response to the allergen laws (see my previous post), I figured this place would be a fairly safe bet for gluten free food. It was a Sunday evening, but when … Continue reading
