Get a taste for the city centre with Sheffield Food Tours đ˝ď¸
Discover more of Sheffield city centre's rich and vibrant food and drink scene courtesy of Sheffield Food Tours, a new sister company of the popular Kelham Island Food Tours.
From the end of August 2024, Sheffield Food Tours will be running two tours in Sheffield city centre.
Their 'A Taste of Sheffield' and 'History & Brunch Tour' will take guests on a guided walking tour of the city centre whilst taking in some of the very best food, drink, local history and culture that the city centre has to offer.
Speaking about the new tours, founder of Kelham Island Food Tours Sophie Barber said,Â
âThe city centre is going through a period of rapid development and positive transformation, so it feels like the right time to branch out with new city centre food tours. We know from chatting to our guests that many will be excited about coming back to us to experience our new city centre routes.
"Bullion Chocolate has been a tour partner since our very first food tour in January 2019 and so it seems fitting that we follow them into the city centre and continue to work with them at their new Leahâs Yard venue âChocolate Barâ which opens this summerâ.
About the new city centre tours
'A Taste of Sheffield' will provide Sheffield residents and visitors alike with a fun and insightful afternoon. The tour visits five venues and takes in special landmarks and places of interest in the Steel City.
Lasting about four hours, guests sample a range of different cuisines and will discover the hidden gems serving some of the best food in Sheffield city centre.Â
Running twice a month, the first date open to the public is Saturday 31 August 2024 and it is now available to book via the Sheffield Food Tours website.
The 'History & Brunch Tour' hosted by local history enthusiast and retired chef Peter Mara, takes guests on a journey right back to Norman times with tales of Sheffield Castle and the Duke of Norfolkâs time in the city and legacy.
This three hour tour will incorporate buildings that tell the story of Sheffieldâs rich industrial heritage and provides a completely different perspective of the city centre. The last hour of the tour is spent enjoying a delicious sit-down brunch at the Birdhouse Tea Company on Sidney Street.Â
The 'History and Brunch Tour' starts on Sunday 4 August and runs once per month, with bookings via the Sheffield Food Tours website.
