What is Dine Sheffield? 🍴
Dine Sheffield is a restaurant week where cafés, restaurants, and other food venues such as casinos, cinemas and street food traders, offer special deals to diners simultaneously.
This is the seventh year the initiative has taken place in Sheffield and thousands of people usually enjoy the deals on offer.
The project, delivered by Sheffield Business Improvement District, is inspired by New York’s famous restaurant week, where hundreds of restaurants offer fixed price menus below their usual prices. There it has become a highlight of the holiday calendar for native New Yorkers (and a few lucky tourists).
Here in Sheffield, offers start from just £5 and are also available at £10, £15, £20 and £25 depending on the venue.
Which Sheffield city centre restaurants are taking part? 👨🍳

The benefits of Dine Sheffield 🍾
Dine Sheffield benefits residents, venues and the city centre economy. It provides an affordable way for people to eat out and to discover new restaurants in Sheffield city centre. For venues, it brings new customers who may be inspired to return or spread the word to friends and family.
October can be a quieter time of year for restaurants before the pre-Christmas rush, so every little helps. And the project also brings more people into the city centre, boosting footfall and its economy which is so vital for Sheffield to flourish.
Wherever you choose to eat for Dine Sheffield - bon appétit!
