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
***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
Great to hear Hui Wei has added some gluten free desserts to their menu. I love the locally made Yee Kwan ice creams, which come in exotic flavours like sesame seed and lychee (not together!). But I’m impressed with the addition of banana and pineapple fritters. It’s so great to find something you wouldn’t normally … 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
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
We went out for a lovely dinner for two to celebrate my birthday. I’ve been wanting to eat at Akentannos for a while, but it’s somewhere worth saving for a special occasion. Akentannos is a small Sardinian restaurant on Sharrow Vale Road, although it’s about to get bigger as they are currently knocking through into … Continue reading
Before I was diagnosed coeliac, I used to be a regular at Wagamama. I love the flavours and freshness of oriental food and it was always a real treat. I went in once after my diagnosis and had such a disappointing experience I hadn’t been back since. It was one of those situations where well … Continue reading
I went out with a group of friends for a Christmas meal last week. I’d heard Bill’s restaurant in the city centre has a good reputation for GF so I was keen to try it. I was quite impressed with their group booking system, where all the attendees can log on to the website, pay … Continue reading
***Update – HBC is no longer Coeliac UK accredited so I’m unsure if they still have a gluten free offer – it’s not clear from the website*** We went to the new Ikea this week, to get some furniture for the boys. Top tip is to go in the evening – around 7pm like we … Continue reading
I was looking for a last minute meal on Saturday before a theatre visit, and we ended up getting the last table at Cubana in Leopold Square. The restaurant is above a lively salsa bar. It’s a highly themed, lively place, with loud Latino music and a great atmosphere. We sat down at 5pm, but … Continue reading
