Certain corners of Sheffield are defined by the food and drink they offer. Whether you're into street food or pub grub, you’ll find something to satisfy your tastebuds.

Take yourself to London Road for a culinary tour around the world. Sample Greek, Turkish, Chinese, Malaysian, Japanese, Mexican and more all within a five-minute walk. Head to Kelham Island for a local beer. Or The Devonshire Quarter for independent coffee shops.

Enjoy colourful cocktails at some of the city's best bars including Piña, Picture House Social and Forum. Or try delicious street food at our monthly Peddler Market.


During my time in Sheffield, I found the city to be lively and multicultural and was delighted to find cuisine options, from Middle Eastern food and halal options to South and East Asian and European food.
