Very occasionally, Steeliac gets me a treat. I’ve had the odd free meal when a new gluten free menu has been launched or trialled, but 99% of what’s on the blog is just my own experience as a consumer. However, this week, a pleasant surprise dropped into my inbox, from Rosie at Magpie’s Secret, asking … Continue reading
I’m really getting into the swing of going out for tea again! I recently went with some friends to The George in Hathersage – somewhere I’ve been meaning to try out for a while. It’s a relaxed, traditional-style bar and hotel in a 500 year old stone building in the Peak District – but only … Continue reading
Now, I’ve decided to break a golden rule. The rule was to only write about places to eat in Sheffield, mainly to avoid confusion. But the discovery of a 100% gluten free restaurant in Leeds is too good to keep to myself! I discovered The Oxford Place because I went on a girls’ shopping trip … Continue reading
We went for a pre-theatre meal at Bill’s in the centre of Sheffield. It’s a chain restaurant and bar with a good gluten free offer of European style food. The interior of the restaurant has a slightly industrial look and feel with exposed pipes and cable trays, mixed with fancy chandelier light fittings – very … Continue reading
I was delighted to find out that The Summerhouse on Abbeydale Road has re-introduced a gluten free menu. The restaurant has been expanded, so I assume they have a much bigger kitchen with the capability to avoid cross contamination. It’s also got a lovely atmosphere, with lots of nooks and different kinds of spaces with … Continue reading
I recently discovered this little gem in the Coop – king prawns in a coconut and chilli crumb, which is great for a quick lunch for two with a bit of salad. The Coop have several breaded items in their standard range that are gluten free, which is great, and means the price is reasonable. … Continue reading
We met some good friends for tapas at La Mama on Abbeydale Road a few weeks ago when it was still warm outside. We haven’t been here for a long time but remembered it being great. The atmosphere on a Friday evening was buzzing. With the music, decor and summer warmth with the patio window … Continue reading
August marked our first meal out in Sheffield in quite a while. We’ve hardly been into the city, but as a gift we had been booked on a CluedUp mystery game, where you have to solve a mystery by interrogating virtual suspects in various geolocations around Sheffield. It was a fun way to spend some … Continue reading
This focaccia might just be my new favourite gluten free bread. The texture was wonderful and softly chewy on the inside, the outside had a lovely crunch, it had amazing flavours on the top and the trademark focaccia dimples. It even met with approval from the house’s gluten eaters. The only drawback? You have to … Continue reading
It’s been so nice to get the odd takeaway during lockdown, but we’re generally limited to Indian, and there’s a Thai not so far away. So although it’s a bit of a schelp from where we are, we recently did an online order for Pho Cafe in Leopold Square. I have missed this place a … Continue reading
