We recently went to a birthday meal at Smoke BBQ, which is at St Paul’s Place, very close to the Charles Street ‘Cheesegrater’ car park and near the Winter Gardens. (Incidentally, the Cheesegrater has just been voted the world’s number one quirky car park!) It’s your classic barbecue fayre, with lots of spiced, smoked meats … Continue reading
I went for a great works night out recently at the Cutlery Works on Kelham Island. The Cutlery Works describes itself as a food hall, with a mix of permanent and semi permanent independent restaurants, communal dining spaces, bars and coffee roasters. This makes it a great space for informal groups that can satisfy pretty … Continue reading
The new branch of Mediterranean chain Ego in the Dore Moor Inn is due to open very soon. The website suggests a provisional date of 28th February. Other branches of Ego I’ve been to have had a really extensive gluten free menu, so I’m really hoping this one will, too. Here’s a link to the … Continue reading
***Update – now closed*** I was very pleased over Christmas when my lovely mother-in-law arrived laden with these boxes from Baked, the new free from bakery at Sharrow Vale: I’d planned a menu for the day, which was a pre-Christmas celebration, but I wasn’t disappointed to have to squeeze these in as an extra course, … Continue reading
Update Feb 2026 – Pieminister Sheffield has sadly closed but look out for other branches as their pies are wonderful We were in town last night for one of the boys’ Christmas concerts at the cathedral, so we took the opportunity to check out Pieminister on Division Street for a fast feast beforehand. The … Continue reading
I’m late to the party on this but I just found out that pie company Pieminister have a cafe/restaurant in Sheffield, on Division Street. You can find Pieminister pies in many supermarkets, and their gluten free pastry is probably the closest to regular pastry that I’ve tried. I posted about them last year here. I checked … Continue reading
***Sadly closed down in 2022*** I generally don’t go out for Sunday lunch because, as a coeliac, what’s on offer is rarely as good as I can make at home. We tend to have a roast most weekends – usually chicken, beef or pork, sometimes with Yorkshire puds and stuffing (which are rarely gluten free … Continue reading
Yesterday we went out for a sneaky Tuesday tea as the boys are away for a few days over half term. I wanted to try somewhere new, and my search led me to La Mama on Abbeydale Road on the west side of town. The restaurant seems to have been around for years, having multiple … Continue reading
I’ve just come across a restaurant at the very, very edge of Sheffield (closer to Barnsley and Huddersfield, if I’m honest) with a virtually 100% gluten free menu! Bistro in the Barn at Millhouse Green is a good half hour outside of Sheffield centre, north of Penistone and Langsett, but judging by the 5 star … Continue reading
I had a useful recommendation recently from Mark Hetherington about Medieval Mayhem soft play near Kelham Island and Hillfoot, where he’d taken his daughter and had a good gluten free experience. The chef was able to do a variety of gluten free options including sandwiches, pizza and chicken nuggets! Although not all the staff were … Continue reading
