Indian street food chain Mowgli has been on the list to go to for quite a while, having had some good recommendations from friends. (If you’ve ever been past, you’ll know it as the place with swings in the window.) We managed to get there in half term as one of our staycation treats and … Continue reading

Nue delicatessen
We’ve been very excited about the opening of this fully gluten free deli in Sheffield by the owners of Akentannos. Last weekend we had the chance to check it out, and bought a few bits for a picnic in Endcliffe Park whilst we were on a family walk. It was such a lovely feeling to … Continue reading
The Broadfield
I’ve only ever been to The Broadfield in Nether Edge for drinks. When I was invited to a work leaving do there for a meal, I figured I’d probably find something I could eat and I didn’t have particularly high expectations – there’s nothing marked on the online menu. But it turns out I was … Continue reading
Tonco
Last weekend we ended up with a child-free day, so we made the most of it by treating ourselves to a nice lunch. We were intending to try the highly recommended Rhubarb Shed but it was fully booked, so we ended up going to Tonco, a small restaurant, hidden away in Dyson Court, just off … Continue reading
Simply Chinese
I haven’t had a take out Chinese meal since the wonderful Hue Wei closed a few years ago. I do like making my ‘fakeaway’ meals like hoisin duck, beef in black bean sauce and special fried rice, but it’s a lot of work. Sometimes you just want a dirty takeaway. I recently found out about … Continue reading
A few minutes of fame – Radio 4 You and Yours
I was really excited to be invited onto Radio 4’s You and Yours consumer affairs programme today to talk to Winifred Robinson about the cost of living crisis and being a coeliac. The increasing cost of food in general is a worry for many people, and if you add to that the high price of … Continue reading

They have excellent gluten free options at the new chippy as well as the pub. The strapline on the website is “Not your usual chippy” … Continue reading
Joni at Abbeydale Industrial Hamlet
I went to a stained glass workshop before Christmas with a good friend at Abbeydale Industrial Hamlet. At lunchtime, we popped to the new cafe for a bite to eat. I was delighted to find that the cafe is Joni, who used to sell the most amazing macarons at the Christmas markets pre-Covid. There is … Continue reading
Yay! Flapjacks
If you’re looking for loaded gluten free flapjacks, there’s only one place – Yay! Flapjacks on Abbeydale Road. I called in here one day when I was driving past and picked up a selection to try with the kids. They look amazing and what a treat. They have a great website with all the flavours, … Continue reading
Mavi Ruya
For years, there was a little-used supermarket on Abbeydale Road in Nether Edge. Having changed hands at least once, it was eventually closed for good. We were incredibly surprised to hear it was being converted into a Turkish restaurant and couldn’t see at all how it would work. How wrong we were! Mavi Ruya is … Continue reading
