We had a rather soggy trip out to Castleton recently to meet some friends, and I had a good meal in The George Inn. Sadly, I forgot to take a photo of it, so we’ll have to make do with one I took of the outside in the rain. This is a really traditional, cozy … Continue reading
I went to the Coeliac UK Food Festival in York at the end of June. It was a great event, with about twenty food stalls/catering outlets, some fun cooking demos and great speakers. There were lots of nibbles on offer, to try and buy some new and some familiar gluten free products. Notably, one of … Continue reading
I love cooking, but sometimes it’s nice to slack off and take the easy option. I have deployed these gluten free profiteroles from Rule of Crumb a few times now for a Sunday dinner pudding, a birthday treat and even on Boxing Day. They are the perfect cheat dessert, as you keep them in the … Continue reading
We had a lovely meal at the new Ego at The Dore Moor Inn recently. It’s a new restaurant, which used to be the Dore Moor Inn, on the way out to Longshaw and Hathersage – right on the edge of Sheffield, where it becomes the Peak District. I’ve been to the branch in town … Continue reading
I discovered a great little cafe on Sharrow Vale Road last week, called Sebastian’s. I went to find a spot to have a coffee and breakfast whilst our boys were at their Saturday morning sports activity. And I think this place is a little gem! They have a separate toaster for gluten free bread so … Continue reading
The Rising Sun pub in Fulwood has launched a new menu and I was pleased to be invited to try it. The pub, owned by the local Abbeydale Brewery, had a refurb a couple of years ago, with an extension and full catering kitchen, which has allowed them to be quite creative with the menu. … Continue reading
We had a family weekend break to Centerparcs recently, which inevitably involved a fair bit of eating out. We prepared our own breakfasts and lunches in our cabin, but had a couple of evening meals out and one takeaway delivered to the cabin. I have to say, the Centerparcs team seem to have a very … Continue reading
I had a tip off about a new place called Amaro last week, which has a gluten free menu. So when our plans fell through on Friday and the kids were away for the night, we decided to pop down and give it a try – and it turned out to have only been open a couple of … Continue reading
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
