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
***Update – now closed*** I was very pleased over Christmas when my lovely mother-in-law arrived laden with these boxes from Baked, the new free from bakery at Sharrow Vale: I’d planned a menu for the day, which was a pre-Christmas celebration, but I wasn’t disappointed to have to squeeze these in as an extra course, … Continue reading
I have been tipped off that a vegan and free from bakery has opened very recently on Hickmott Road in Sharrow Vale recently. I don’t know much about it but according to the Facebook page everything is vegan and gluten free, and the pictures of the produce look totally amazing! I will be on my … 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
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
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
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
***Update*** I’ve had a few comments posted about concerns with cross contamination at Proove, so please beware. Maybe worth a phonecall before you go. Thanks to Emily Lovewell for this review of Proove, in Broomhill: We tend to stick to restaurants we know can provide gluten free options for children and when my son asks … Continue reading
I haven’t been in the Devonshire Cat for years. It’s a real ale pub on Wellington Street in the city centre’s Devonshire Quarter, operated by the local Abbeydale Brewery. It had quite a big refurb in 2014, so it has a fresh, modern look. The Dev Cat has just launched a new food menu with a … Continue reading
