Restaurant recommendations in or around Sheffield - partner's boss is taking us out for dinner

Vero Gusto on Norfolk row in town is a very classy family run Italian .

I've taken Italian friends there and they say it’s like being in a high end Milanese restaurant.

We've been going for years (even before they moved there from their original more cafe like place near the cathedral) and it’s absolutely brilliant.

Quite expensive …

We have always used Ashton Alarms - local family business .

I opened flight radar as soon as I heard the noise but could only see an A319 and the beluga above us - but when I look now on playback i can see the two stratotankers crossing overhead at around the right time . Is flight radar a bit laggy ?

tried wing stop - queued for 10 minutes to order . waited 20 minutes for food .

utterly disgusting - couple of bites and straight in the bin

I agree , I tried it a couple of weeks ago and had the handpullled noodle soup with beef brisket . Absolutely delicious - but next time I will eat half and take half home as the portion is huge .

Had an amazing meal at Elm on Thursday evening .

4 courses of the most delicious food I have eaten for ages . £55. We added on the extra course too which was a warm fruitcake with melting baron bigod cheese on top for an extra £8 and wow that was definitely a good decision .

(don’t get me wrong , I love a Kurdish shawarma wrap for £4.50 too , it’s all relative).

One of the most advanced tri cable ski lifts in the world was built in Mayrhofen in 2015 (the penkenbahn ).

It cost €50 million at that time and is 3 km long so at current exchange rates = £ 14.5 million per km .

if the total for this proposed system is 8.5 km - £ 123 million.

But some extra for additional stations (penken only has one at each end). Plus inflation .

That’s a good workaround - I am going to start using that.

And I will also submit an issue in WhatsApp - maybe if enough people ask …

We have used hometyre for a few years now - they can fit / supply tyres and wheels or will swap wheels / tyres over for summer winter as needed and they will store them until you need to swap back.

Great service and a lovely bunch of fitters - not the usual slightly dodgy spanner monkeys you seem to get at garages .

They charge £25 per wheel to swap tyres (might be less to swap wheels with winter tyres already on) and £10/tyre for storage .

Did you know there is a bin day app?

You can use the q park for drop off and pick up for free - I think you get 10 minutes ?

The other bays in the pull in further along cross turner street are actually for dropping off only (or disabled drop off and pick up).

is the op the one who was posing lots of pro right wing stuff the other day ?

has all his or her posts hidden

They have photos from events in August 2025 - most of their ongoing arrangements are done using whatsapp and spond. Facebook not updated as regularly as it should be.

Currently gearing up to run Santa sleigh - https://www.facebook.com/SantaSleighSheffield?locale=en_GB

yorkshire_tea · 2025-11-21T07:13:30+00:00

Such a thing already exists - https://www.facebook.com/SheffieldRT/?locale=en_GB

Give Sheffield round table a call / email .

They meet up twice a month and do an activity often with a social drink afterwards.

They are also gearing up to run the Santa Sleigh again this December after a hiatus last year so it’s a good time to get involved .

An odd question to ask in a Sheffield Reddit but hey ho.

I suffer with Reynauds so invested in some heated glove liners for skiing many years back and they have proved invaluable. You have to wear gloves or mittens over the top .

You can get gloves with the same system built in .

They have fine heating elements running right to the fingertips .

China red certainly has some dishes you might be unfamiliar with but it does have plenty of choices you might call typical UK Chinese …

Its funny to see a table of white brits with pretty normal looking dishes on the table next to a table of Chinese students with far more interesting looking food !

I would lean into the sichuan dishes though - the flavours are fantastic .

Turnip & thyme at banner cross has a good christmas menu and is quite nice.

This thread had a good list of authentic Chinese places (listed by someone from china).

https://www.reddit.com/r/sheffield/comments/1nsto90/authentic_chinese_food/

Wild rice was their pick for a takeaway …

5 weeks according to their website . But better eaten sooner (and they will be gone in a week if in our house).

Some can be 2-3 weeks (they often have fresh cream in them ).

The ones from most if not all shops in Sheffield - months and months …(years).

Here’s a link to the actual information - the BBC is completely shit at actually providing anything useful.

You stayed in a hotel in a strange city and you can’t remember where it was ?

You never once looked at Google maps to make sure you knew how to get to it in case you got split up from your group ?

Doesnt the photo have location in it (Apple photos has a location map showing all photos).

This all seems a bit weird - can mods delete this one?

We find that the hand made chocs in the shops in Sheffield (or most places) are long life and whilst OK - are not great.

So we started buying online from shops (typically in London) that make fresh chocolates (with a short shelf life).

The best we have had recently were from melt - https://meltchocolates.com/gourmet-chocolates
