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

Bistro in the Barn
***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
La Mama
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
Coeliac UK research talk – Oct 2018
At the weekend I attended a fascinating talk about research by Coeliac UK chief executive, Sarah Sleet, as part of Coeliac UK’s 50th birthday celebrations. It was hosted by the Coeliac UK Sheffield Group at their usual meeting venue, St Mary’s on Bramall Lane. Sarah started by telling us about Sheffield’s leadership in coeliac disease … Continue reading
Bistro in the Barn – gluten free specialist
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
Gluten free at soft play!
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
Gluten free at Mr & Mrs Cod
Thanks to @jessellenmunn on Twitter, who let me know that the rather fabulously named Mr & Mrs Cod in Greenhill is offering gluten free fish & chips on a Monday & Tuesday. https://www.facebook.com/plugins/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fpermalink.php%3Fstory_fbid%3D2033676256949788%26id%3D1956888471295234&width=500 The chippy seems to be under new ownership according to an article in the local Active magazine. You can find out more … Continue reading
GF banana fritters at Hui Wei!
I was very, very excited to hear Hui Wei have started doing gluten free banana & pineapple fritters – what a treat. Their gluten free offer is going from strength to strength! We took the boys for a quick tea in the week so we could try them. We chose lychee ice cream with the … Continue reading
Craft & Dough
A trip to Kelham Island for history, beer and pizza seemed like a perfect Fathers’ Day outing. We spent a couple of hours looking round the fantastic Kelham Island Museum with my parents and the kids, finding out about Sheffield’s industrial heritage. We even managed to time it so we were able to watch … Continue reading
Thai Thai Ka
***Update October 2019 – this is now closed, but they have opened in the Abbeydale area. See review of Thai Traveller.*** After the recent disappointment of Thai at the Travellers in Holmesfield closing down, we went in search of its sister restaurant in Broomhill. I was relieved to find that Thai Thai Ka has a virtually … Continue reading
