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
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
I’ve been itching to write this review since June (!) when we went to Rafters with some dear friends, and I’ve finally got round to it. Of course, Rafters isn’t your average tea out – it’s a high end dining experience, so very much in the market for particularly special occasions (like a small lottery … 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
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’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
We recently went for a night away in Harrogate, which was fabulous. In advance of the trip, we’d done a fair bit of planning on where to eat, as you do. For lunch, we went to the marvellous Filmore and Union, which we don’t have in Sheffield. More on that in another post, but suffice … Continue reading
