South Yorkshire is famous for many things and food is at the top of the list. Whether you take your hunger pangs on a tasting trip around the region or stick to Sheffield’s foodie hot spots, get set for a tantalising time. Sheffield is known as the steel city and the producer of some of the country’s finest cutlery. It’s also the birthplace of Henderson’s Relish and a vibrant hub for dining. Starting with breakfast, head to Steam Yard which has a big following in the city. Luckily for those with a sweet tooth, it’s most famous for coffee and doughnuts. The red brick building features an outdoor courtyard, so it’s an idyllic morning spot on a sunny day. Marmadukes serves a menu using simple ingredients, such as traditional, long-fermented bread, in three locations. The original venue on Norfolk Row rests in an old Georgian townhouse. One of the best-loved brunch spots in the city is Tamper Sellers Wheel. From mouthwatering breakfast burgers to salt beef benedict, the Arundel Street venue brings New Zealand food culture to the city. For the ultimate afternoon of indulgence visit Jameson’s Tearooms, a well-known name for old-fashioned afternoon tea. Expect vintage décor, gleaming chandeliers and a live pianist to go with your cucumber finger sandwiches. Seven Hills Bakery is the place to go for artisan bread and cakes from morning to afternoon. SKILLED CHEFS Sheffield is renowned for scrumptious food from around the world, so you’ll take your pick from Chinese, Thai, Mexican and more.

For more than two decades, the family-run venue has served up its classic carbonara and lasagne. Combine two of your favourite things at a wealth of venues in Sheffield. If meat washed down with brews sounds like you, make a beeline for Smoke BBQ. It’s essential to arrive with an empty stomach for the wood-fired barbecue menu and some of the best triplecooked chips you’ll find in the city. Go all out and get a beer bucket to go with your brisket plate. For a unique dining experience, Jöro at Kelham Island is not your average venue or menu. Located on the ground floor at Krynkl Works, Jöro serves up hyper-seasonal small plates in an ultra-modern environment. With tapas-style plates, order as few or as many as you like. Then, head around the corner to Parrot Club for cocktails and rum under the palm trees until the early hours.
