WELCOME TO SHEFFIELD FOOD FESTIVAL

24th - 27th May 2019

A celebration of the city’s vibrant food scene, showcasing our great local produce, chefs, street food and future talent

sheffoodfest //

It’s been a long wait for us at Sheffield Food Fest HQ since last year’s event and we are so excited to once again showcase the best of this city’s breweries, street food vendors and local produce suppliers, along with specialist traders from out of town.

This is the ninth year of the event and in 2018, our weekend attendance records were smashed with over 53,000 people flocking to the city centre.

For this reason, we’ve added a FOURTH day to the event, which is set to be even bigger and better than last year!

The Theatre Kitchen chef demos and talks will be one of the highlights of the weekend for sure, the details of which you can find in this festival magazine, produced by ourselves and print partners Exposed Magazine.

On the street food front, we have returning favourites, new kids on the block and several past heroes making a return. The range of traders is mindblowing and, due to the finite nature of paper and word counts, we couldn’t possibly list them all in this here intro! Take our word for it though, it will certainly challenge everyone’s belt sizes...

Elsewhere, we have several new bars with drinks choices for everyone, a dedicated area for children at both Orchard Square and the Winter Garden.

Over at Millennium Square, there’s the ShefFood Village hosting all things green and organic alongside talks from the Festival of Debate. Some food for thought there, we believe…

2019 also sees the return of host evening events with the Proove Supper Club and Riverford Organic Farmers, plus a brand new event in Tasty Toasts - a drinks masterclass event sure to help unleash your inner mixologist!

The ever-popular Eats, Treats and Beats Village returns to the top of Fargate, with entertainment, street food, local breweries and mini-tipis and hammocks to hang out in ‘til the sun goes down.

We’re incredibly excited about this year’s event and cannot wait to get started! Join us on 24-27 May, will you?

EVENINGS IN THE KITCHEN From an elegantly curated three-course dinner, to an Italian-inspired event, to an organic vegetarian pop-up feast, this year’s evening events in the Demo Theatre Kitchen are an absolute treat.

Last year’s Sheffield Food Festival saw the introduction of a brand new event: the host evening events in the Demo Theatre Kitchen. Proove hosted a sold-out, five course pizza Supper Club extravaganza, whilst Riverford put on a special wine tasting experience.

Following on from the success of last year’s events, Proove and Riverford will both be back as key sponsors for the Theatre Kitchen, this time with the addition of a collaborative evening event between Butcher & Catch and Sir Robin of Locksley Gin. These evenings are a chance to get stuck in with some of the Food Festival’s key partners in a more intimate and personal environment.

10 WWW.SHEFFIELDFOODFESTIVAL.CO.UK

Kicking off on the Friday will be an evening of Tasty Toasts hosted by Sir Robin of Locksley Gin and Butcher & Catch.

Kicking off on Friday 24th, there will be an evening of Tasty Toasts hosted by Sir Robin of Locksley Gin and Butcher & Catch. It’ll be a unique dining experience with a cultured menu of three courses, starting with a fish course of morocello and fennel-cured sea trout, then a course of Moss Valley belly pork, finishing with dessert from Our Cow Molly: ice cream and Yorkshire rhubarb. Delicious!

Each course will be presented with a specialist drink, chosen by experts to compliment the incredible food on offer. Welcome drinks, talks and entertainments will follow, too!

The evening of Saturday 25th will see Proove return with its hugely popular Supper Club, bringing its authentic Neapolitan pizza to the lovely folk of Sheffield. It’s a great chance to see what Proove is about – the very best, authentic and fresh ingredients created by their expert Pizzaiolos and made fresh to order.

The secret, we’re reliably informed, is in the dough.

It’s homemade every day with ’00’ flour and proved for a minimum of 20 hours. It’s then hand-stretched and topped with tomato sauce – homemade, of course, and always with San Marzano tomatoes which are grown in the rich volcanic soil around Mount Vesuvius. The cheese has to be Fior Di Latte mozzarella, which is made in Naples for Proove twice a week and flown in ready to be served within 72 hrs.

This year’s menu will include carefully curated Italian cuisine, inspired by ‘Naples in the spring time’. They have partnered with LWC Drinks who will be imparting their expertise by pairing each of the five courses with drinks such as prosecco, Italian wines, and gin and rum cocktails. And once again, they will be supporting Ben’s Centre, through Foodinate which provides meals for the homeless. Since partnering with Foodinate in December 2017, Proove’s restaurants and kitchens in Sheffield, Manchester and Leeds have donated over 25,000 to those in need.

The wonderful team at Riverford Organic Farmers, who’ve supported the Food Festival since its launch, will be a hosting a very special ‘pop-up feast’ event on Sunday 26th to round off the evening Theatre Kitchen programme. Riverford is celebrating 12 years of delivering organic produce to homes across the region this year. From its award-winning veg boxes and recipe boxes, to bread, dairy, deli items, drinks, meats and more, Riverford deliver its wide range of organic produce direct to doorsteps each week, teaching people how to ‘live life on the veg’ in the process.

Riverford’s talented chef Sarah Raven will cook up an exciting flavour-packed menu of vegetarian dishes, bursting with the freshest seasonal veg from their organic fields. So, expect vibrant and creative dishes with vegetables as you’ve never tasted them before!

COME DINE WITH ME

WORDS: JOE FOOD

Promoting choice, independent businesses and bringing foodies closer together in social spaces, the rise of the food hall and communal dining is a trend that looks set to continue.

I remember attending my first Peddler Market in the summer of 2015, back when it was a far more understated affair taking place on Arundel Street with a handful of local food traders, some live music, and (rough estimate here) a couple of hundred punters milling around a cordoned section of the road. Despite the relatively small scale of these early events, it was clear that the organisers were onto something; there was a palatable sense of inclusivity and community lending to a good vibes feel as punters bonded on pavements and long dining tables over the food and drink on offer.

Fast forward four years and Peddler is now nothing short of an institution in Sheffield – a monthly showcase of rotating traders, musicians, clothing, arts and crafts, and much else besides. A busy weekend might see a few thousand pass through the doors at 92 Burton Road, while their spin-off event Veg Out unites the city’s vegan community and shows that ecoconscious, plant-based eating can be just as exciting as a carnivorous diet.

The rising popularity of street food traders – now something of a given at events ranging from festivals to weddings – and the desire for wider choice, casual forms of dining, and new cultural eating experiences has led to the rise of the food hall, naturally taking off first in the capital but quickly spreading its hype to major northern cities. This rise has of course been buoyed by endless social media opportunities to share a variety of exotic or gluttonous dishes on feeds, and if to confirm this, a quick search for the hashtag #foodhall on Instagram will return a total of 110,000 public posts; whereas #streetfood returns a cool six million. That’s a lot of #foodporn to scroll through.

Last year, Sheffield saw the arrival of Cutlery Works, providing 14,000 sq ft of retail space split over two floors and hailed as the north’s largest independent food hall. Situated a stone’s throw from the home of Peddler, the venue has become a popular weekend destination that buzzes with activity right up until its 1am closing time on Fridays and Saturdays.

During the week workers in the area can be seen taking a break from the drab surrounds of the office and hosting morning meetings there, showing such social food and drink hubs can help provide a spark of creativity or serve as the perfect networking venue.

The most recent addition to the local food hall scene, Kommune, has brought excitement to an area of the city centre that has been in need of renovation for some time now. The old Co-op department store in Castle House, closed for over a decade, underwent a £3m revamp and has united independent food traders, retailers, and creatives on the ground floor where you can enjoy a wide variety of world cuisine, purchase a book or zine from La Biblioteka, select a take-home craft beer from Hop Hideout, or browse The Viewing Room art gallery. Upstairs a tech hub will serve as a social working space and an incubator for startups, putting faith in the symbiotic relationship between communal dining spaces and local creatives.

Food Hall, a relatively older kid on the block, was one of the first city centre spots to combine dining and local community support – with a firmly entrenched ethos centred on the belief that everyone should have access to fresh food and company. Since opening in 2015, the volunteer-run cafe operates a pay-as-you-feel policy, and as well as providing a welcoming space for social eating – not to mention superb coffee – the organisation actively involves itself in a range of initiatives to promote cohesion and tackle important issues such as homelessness, inequality and exclusion.

Since coming under the charge of Events Collective three years ago, Sheffield Food Festival has strived to celebrate the inclusive, wide-ranging dining experience facilitated through the boom in street food events and community-focused food halls. Bringing thousands together through a mutual appreciation of food and drink and providing a vast platform for socialising between friends, family and strangers alike, the aim is ultimately one of using good food to create a closer sense of connectedness between people and the spaces they live in.

FIVE OF THE BIGGEST FOOD HALLS AND MARKETS AROUND THE WORLD HARRODS FOOD HALL

LONDON, UK Harrods department store has been an acclaimed institution since it first opened in 1834. A huge allure to the department has always been its enormous food hall. There is a vast range of bites available from several restaurants and even more to take home from their state of the art boulangerie, patisserie, fromagerie and charcuterie.

GRAND CENTRAL MARKET

LOS ANGELES, USA This Los Angeles food market is steeped in history. The venue has continuously reflected the changing food trends in downtown LA and has evolved alongside them. Spanning over 30,000 sq ft with over 90 food vendors, it’s revered as a cultural food haven.

TIME OUT MARKET

LISBON, PORTUGAL In 2014, the editors of Time Out Lisbon took on an ambitious endeavour: to transform a historic city market into the world’s first food and cultural market.

The risk proved successful and has seen visitors flocking to the market ever since to sample offerings from their award-winning chefs.

MARKTHAL

ROTTERDAM, NETHERLANDS While Markthal might be renowned for its stunning architecture, it’s not just the impressive exterior that has made it into a worldwide attraction. The venue boasts a carefully selected variety of local and national businesses which all place an emphasis on quality Dutch dishes.

QUEEN VICTORIA MARKET

MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA The Queen Victoria Market has been dubbed one of the best food experiences in the world. Feeding into their reputation, they even have a dedicated Ultimate Foodie Tour which allows food lovers to indulge in their finest bites while learning about how they earned their title.

RIVERFORD’S VEGGIE PAELLA This vegetarian recipe is an adaptation of the traditional Spanish dish. As veg nerds, we love adding as much veg as possible to our recipes!

Tip: Saffron threads give the dish its unique flavour.

INGREDIENTS Sunflower or light olive oil, for frying 1 onion, finely diced 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped, grated or crushed 1 red pepper, deseeded and cut into 5mm thick slices 1 yellow pepper, deseeded and cut into 5mm thick slices 200g paella rice 100g mushrooms, finely sliced 3 tomatoes, diced ¼ tsp smoked paprika ¼ tsp paprika 2 pinches of saffron threads 1 litre of good veg stock Salt and pepper 100g green beans or sugar snaps, or a mixture of both (if using beans, top, tail and chop into thirds) Good handful of parsley, chopped 1 lemon, cut into wedges

METHOD Heat two tablespoons of oil in a heavy-bottomed paella pan or large frying pan or flameproof casserole.

Add the onion and fry gently on a low heat for 10 minutes, stirring now and then.

Add the garlic and peppers to the onion and stir for 2 minutes. Add the rice, mushrooms, tomatoes, both types of paprika and saffron.

Pour in three quarters of the stock and season with salt and pepper. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Keep an eye on the liquid and top up with a little more stock or water as needed (you might not need it all).

The paella shouldn’t be sloppy at the end so add liquid sparingly during the last 10 minutes.

While the paella is cooking, boil the green beans for three minutes, then refresh them in a bowl of very cold water. If you are using sugar snaps, you can simply throw them in raw towards the end of cooking (see below). After 30 minutes of cooking, check the rice is tender and cook a little longer if needed. If there is any excess liquid, turn up the heat and stir to boil it off.

Then cook very gently without stirring, to create a crust on the bottom (it’s not very easy to achieve without a proper paella pan, though). Stir in the beans/sugar snaps and parsley. Turn off the heat and leave to stand for 2 minutes, then check the seasoning and serve with wedges of lemon.

Cooking notes Variation: You can use any sort of green beans in this; try double-podded broad, sliced runners or flat green beans.

A MATCH MADE IN

SHEFFIELD

Most people love a gin, don’t they? Over the last 10 years, the British have well and truly got stuck into it. Rhubarb, raspberry or pink – distilleries across the UK have upped their game in terms of interesting and intriguing flavours.

One Sheffield distillery, Sir Robin of Locksley Gin based in the Portland Works building close to the city centre, was launched in 2014 by John Cherry and wife Cynthia King. “When we launched back in 2014, there was nothing else like it on the market,” Cynthia tells us. “The people of Sheffield have been amazing – they won’t settle for mediocrity, but they absolutely want to support local companies too!”

The ethos of working with local companies and producers extends to other business owners in the city too.

Locksley Gin’s ingredients include dandelion hand-picked in Yorkshire and, if you haven’t spotted yet, is named after a certain locally-born folklore legend. Working with Locksley Gin at this year’s Food Festival is Butcher & Catch, a superb seafood and meat 18 WWW.SHEFFIELDFOODFESTIVAL.CO.UK

restaurant in Broomhill, whose main ethos is working passionately with local suppliers. “It’s not just important to the ethos; it is THE ethos behind Butcher & Catch,” says owner Liam Ridge. “The minute we’re not passionate about using local ingredients is the time we’ll hang up our aprons. We feel the produce on our doorstep in Sheffield and Yorkshire is some of the best in the world.”

With both businesses sharing such a passion for working alongside local producers, it’s only natural that Sir Robin of Locksley Gin and Butcher & Catch have gravitated towards each other.

Stocking Locksley Gin in the restaurant is one thing, but hosting events and combining the two elements is one step further, and something they will be showcasing at this year’s Sheffield Food Festival.

WORDS: PAUL STIMPSON

The owners of Sir Robin of Locksley Gin and Butcher & Catch talk us through their collaborative Food Fest event, the versatility of gin and how the worlds of gin, meat and seafood will collide at this year’s Sheffield Food Festival.

“We try to have a food and drink pairing event every month at Butcher & Catch,” says Liam.

“We found that the appetite for food and gin pairings was growing and John and Cynthia at Locksley are very engaging and open to the challenge of the pairings – so it’s a naturally evolving relationship.”

So how do you go about pairing gin with Butcher & Catch’s menu? Liam tells us: “The pairings are two fold really. Firstly we often look at how we can incorporate the gin itself into a dish, and that could be something natural such as macerating, curing or preserving ingredients with gin, to create something like a gin-cured sea trout. Secondly is to challenge the senses by picking out the component ingredients within the gin making process that work really well with different foods, which could come in the form of combining juniper with lamb, or grapefruit with hake. Gin is a very versatile ingredient to pair

“Gin is a very versatile ingredient to pair with food, and the chefs get very excited about combining the two.”

sheffoodfest sheffoodfest #sheffoodfest19

with food, and the chefs get very excited about combining the two.”

Pairing gin with food isn’t actually very difficult, explains Cynthia. “Seafood works particularly well with gin. Gincured salmon often be found in a traditional Swedish Christmas feast. I think gin is actually quite easy to pair with food. You can pick out key botanicals and find food with complimentary or contrasting flavours. Our newest product, Real Raspberry and Cardamom, is great with a curry as cardamom is quite a common ingredient in Indian cooking.”

In terms of the event itself, it will be taking place at the Demo Theatre Kitchen on the Friday night of the Food Festival.

“The event is essentially to showcase the very best of the locally-produced, world class ingredients that we have on our doorstep,” says Liam. “We’re very well known for using locally-produced food throughout our menus, but the fact that we have such an array of amazing beer and spirits produced in our city walls needs to be celebrated too. This event will pair the outstanding food of our region with the superb gin that Locksley produce.”

WWW.SHEFFIELDFOODFESTIVAL.CO.UK

Cynthia says that attendees can expect to learn a little bit about the history of gin too. “Butcher & Catch will be offering four courses, whilst we’ll be presenting three different drinks. Throughout the evening we will talk about the history of gin, the distillation process, gin classifications, and obviously a bit about our company and products.”

Of course, the community-feel of the Sheffield Food Festival, and Sheffield in general, means that this event won’t be the only one on the radar. “I love just walking around and seeing what stalls are there,” says Cynthia.

For Liam, it’s a huge event. “The whole feel of the event is amazing, and in my opinion it’s one of, if not the best, food festivals in the country. The idea of a huge celebration of food and drink that sprawls Sheffield city centre itself, benefiting businesses and the public alike, rather than stuck away in a random field somewhere is amazing. I love the carnival feel, the smell of the food vendors and the sound of people having a fantastic time!”

For Butcher & Catch, these events are a continuation of a successful first 18 months in the city. “Broomhill and the surrounding areas have a really nice community feel, and we’re very grateful for the support we’ve had since we’ve been open. I think the fact that we have regular evolving seasonal menus keeps

sheffoodfest sheffoodfest #sheffoodfest19 20 WWW.SHEFFIELDFOODFESTIVAL.CO.UK

it interesting for our guests.

The hospitality industry is challenging and everevolving, but we love being part of it and seeing new, independent local businesses thriving in this competitive market. It’s a very exciting and interesting time to be in the restaurant trade!”

And for Locksley Gin, it’s a case of building on a hugely loyal customer base.

“The people of Sheffield won’t settle for mediocrity. I think being local sells the first bottle, but you have to back that up with quality. We always put time into the development of our products and we won’t put just anything into a Locksley bottle. I think we are a brand that people trust.”

Having everyone’s appetite whetted for gin and food pairing events, this could be something that we see more of in the city post-Sheffield Food Festival. Liam tells us: “The Food Festival event will be our third event in direct partnership with Locksley, and our sixth gin event in 12 months, so I’d definitely say the appetite is there for more similar events!”

Cynthia is convinced. “I’m sure you will see more of these events! You’ll also be seeing us launch our new Gin School soon! I think that’s what we are currently most excited about at Locksley Gin.” Catch Liam Ridge from Butcher & Catch and Cynthia King from Sir Robin of Locksley Gin at the Demo Theatre Kitchen on Friday night.

SPOTLIGHT ON:

#BROWNIES No, not *that* type of brownie…

Hash Brownies isn’t what you think it might be. This awardwinning company is the brainchild of couple Andy and Wendy, the latter a Roux brothers-trained chef. They will be serving up sweet treats at this year’s Food Festival. And it’s not just brownies! They will be offering their signature ‘scoffingtons’… in flavours such as Black Forest, coffee and Oreo.

Discussing the inspiration behind the unique company name, Andy said: “We wanted a brownie company that would stand out, and we wanted to utilise social media as a platform to advertise our products, hence the hashtag!” They already sell to well-established places in Sheffield and Leeds and have distributed to numerous events and businesses for nearly seven years.

WHAT CAN WE EXPECT FROM #BROWNIES AT THE SHEFFIELD FOOD FESTIVAL? We have been to the Sheffield Food Festival every year since it started. This year we will be using the Festival to unveil a new product! It is a new style of cake we have created and trademarked, called a ‘scoffington’. We want people to recognise them as a brand. We want them to become the new ‘Yorkshire Parkin’ or ‘Bakewell tart’! We had two styles of cake and now, because of the success, we decided to go fully vegan!

WHAT IS A ‘SCOFFINGTON’?

It is a cube of vegan sponge cake dipped in chocolate ganache and coated in biscuit crumb and topped with frostings and toppings. Times are changing! Last year we promoted them as vegan on the first day and there was limited interest. On the second day we took away the branding that they were vegan and sold much more. The customer would think it was delicious and would be visibly shocked when I would tell them that it was vegan. People think vegan food is made out of sawdust!

“The customer would think it was delicious and would be visibly shocked when I would tell them that it was vegan.

People think vegan food is made out of sawdust!”

HAVE YOU NOTICED A RISE IN POPULARITY OF STREET FOOD EVENTS OVER THE YEARS? 100%. People have changed their eating habits; they like to have a choice of multiple different things. You look at the popularity of food halls in Sheffield, such as Kommune! People want to walk around and have a choice.

WHAT ELSE CAN WE EXPECT FROM #BROWNIES? We are going through a period of branding and will soon be selling the ‘scoffingtons’ through our website so customers will be able to buy them online. For the Food Festival, we will be in front of the Town Hall with lots of giveaways and that sort of stuff. Every year is great, but we will hopefully make it a really big one this year!

Catch #Brownies at the Town Hall all weekend, or check them out at facebook.com/hash.brownies1.

KEEPING IT GREEN JOIN SHEFFIELD’S FOOD-FORPURPOSE ORGANISATIONS IN THE WINTER GARDEN AND MILLENNIUM SQUARE. In Sheffield, there are a huge range of organisations that promote growing vegetables, learning how to cook and how to deal with food waste.

In this year’s ShefFood Village, we’ll be sharing food, drink and conversation together, getting stuck in with hands-on activities and chatting with people to learn how we can all work together to make the food system in Sheffield better for everyone.

One of the co-hosts of the ShefFood Village this year is Regather, known locally as a community food hub in Sharrow. Regather was founded in 2010 with the mission of helping local communities eat better food. For Regather, ‘better’ means healthy, sustainable, affordable and - wherever possible - seasonal and locally-produced.

Regather’s vision is to empower the city to become more resilient by encouraging co-operative involvement in the Sheffield food system. “We want money retained in the local economy, land to be more productive, food to be better quality, health improved and people to have better awareness of and involvement with how the food system, from local to global, can be changed for the better,” says cofounder Gareth Roberts.

Regather currently operates a wide range of trading activities including a fruit and veg box scheme, a 15 acre market garden and agroforestry development, a microbrewery producing craft beer and seasonal cider and an events venue and bar called Regather Works.

FOOD EXPLORERS TRAIL SAT - MON | 11-6PM Have fun exploring the Sheffield Food Festival with the ShefFood Explorers Trail. Follow the trail, answer the questions and get your reward! Learn fun food facts about how your food system works. Pick up the trail leaflet from Regather in the ShefFood Village.

Suitable for all ages.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT ‘TABLE TALKS’ | SAT - MON | 12-4PM Curious about food and how we feed ourselves? Passionate about better food for everyone? Look out for the ‘ShefFood’ t-shirts and the ‘Table Talks’ signs and join us to share food, drink and conversation together and learn how we can all work together to make the food system in Sheffield better for everyone.

MR & MRS VEGHEAD SAT - MON | 12-2PM A Sheffield Food Festival twist to everyone’s favourite Mr Potato Head, everything you need to make a crazy fruit and veg head will be provided.

There will be fruit and veg head selfies to share on social media, and a competition for the best head! Suitable for all ages.

NO JUNK FRUIT JUICING SAT | 2-4PM Kids love drinking fruit juice, but do

they know how easy it is to make? Kids can get hands on as they learn about the simple process of making (and drinking!) fruit juice. Fresh fruit, leftover fruit or any fruit that would otherwise go to waste will be available to use, so it’s a great opportunity to learn about reducing food waste too.

KEEPING CHICKENS AT HOME SUN | 2-4PM Keeping chickens is a great way to combine education and a child’s inherrent love of animals, plus the family gets to eat fresh, tasty eggs! There will be a small flock of hens to watch and feed, and people who are passionate about chickens to talk with.

KIDS SEED SOWING | MON | 2-4PM Once they’ve grown their own veg, kids are much more likely to eat them and they’ll have learned a little bit about where food comes from. Kids can decorate their own pot and plant some veggie seeds to take home. Even if you don’t have a garden you can grow your own delicious vegetables in a window box or on a balcony, it’s easy!

DISCO SOUP | SAT - MON | 4-6PM Join the party as we collect, chop, and cook leftover food or any food that would otherwise go to waste. The music will be pumping, everyone will be dancing and we’ll all enjoy delicious soup!

WHAT IS SHEFFOOD? ShefFood is the food partnership for Sheffield.

We are a cross-sector partnership of local public agencies, businesses, academic and community organisations committed to working together to create a more sustainable food system for Sheffield.

WHY SUSTAINABLE FOOD? Across the UK, cities have recognised the key role food can play in dealing with some of today’s most pressing social, economic and environmental challenges and are taking a joined-up approach to transforming their food culture and food system.

From obesity and diet-related ill-health to food poverty and waste, climate change and biodiversity loss to declining prosperity and social dislocation, food is not only at the heart of some of our greatest problems but is also a vital part of the solution.

WHAT DOES SHEFFOOD DO? We are working towards a Sustainable Food Cities Award for Sheffield by taking action across six key areas.

THESE ARE: 1. Promoting healthy and sustainable food to the public 2. Tackling food poverty, diet-related ill health and access to affordable healthy food 3. Building community food knowledge, skills, resources and projects 4. Promoting a vibrant and diverse sustainable food economy 5. Transforming catering and food procurement 6. Reducing waste and the ecological footprint of the food system

THE SHEFFOOD VILLAGE IS PROUDLY CO-PRESENTED BY...

FOOD WORKS Working to reduce food waste and show what can be done with it in the right hands.

SHEFFIELD CLIMATE ALLIANCE Taking fair and effective action to tackle climate change.

Bob Worm, managing director of Events Collective, rounds up ten of his favourite food spots in the Steel City.

When looking at new article features for this year’s Food Festival magazine, it struck me how the scene in Sheffield is constantly changing, but there are also numerous long-running businesses that have become almost institution-like.

I have put together a list, in no particular order of preference, to share some of my prime choices with you. It covers ten local businesses. All hard-working, long-established independents that have received the nod for a variety of reasons. For some it’s simply the quality of the food, for others it’s the range and choice available on the menu, or it could be the added extras such as the atmosphere, styling, staff, and people who frequent them.

This list is my choice based on selfish reasons, but as with all things food and drink in Sheffield, it’s a case of horses for courses and we will all have our favourites. If you haven’t tried any of the following, I’d highly recommend getting stuck in!

TWO STEPS CHIP SHOP

Arguably the best chippy in Sheffield. It may have changed hands, but it still looks exactly the same and does cracking fish and chips at a very fair price. The owners are nice chaps, too.

RAFTERS RESTAURANT

A top-of-the-tree establishment and fine-dining at its very finest. Rafters are market leaders in connecting the culture of great food and wine with a relaxing atmosphere and impressive layout. Their passion for engaging with their customers is a key aspect of what makes this place one of the best.

CHUBBYS

The longest-running kebab shop in Sheffield city centre, still working hard against the continuous redevelopment of more or less every building around them. If you’ve been going downtown in the city for a number of years, odds are you will have stumbled across Chubbys – famous for its sloppy cheese and late-night burgers.

AIRY FAIRY

It has moved around a few times now: first Attercliffe, then Chesterfield Road, Neepsend, and now back to Heeley.

Amazingly tasty, rustic curries and numerous healthy menu dish options – and as you can imagine, their onion bhajis are simply stunning.

A true Sheffield institution running for nearly 20 years now.

Originally a coffee shop with holistic leanings, selling a variety of incense, crystals, candles, etc; the food menu of the cafe was later added to provide a simple but adventurous range of healthy homemade dishes. Despite being located in the middle of London Road’s urban jungle, it’s also got an enchanting little garden to relax and enjoy a sunny lunch in.

UNCLE SAM’S

YORKSHIRE BRIDGE INN

THE BHAJI SHOP

The first American diner experience I had as a young boy, quickly enchanted by the cream cheese burger, walls covered with posters of US celebrities and the little train going around the track suspended from the ceiling. Still going strong for over 40 years – and long may that continue!

48 WWW.SHEFFIELDFOODFESTIVAL.CO.UK

Situated on the edge of Ladybower, this traditional pub/ restaurant offers a vast range of good value meals on their menu.

Specials are always an option, but get snapped up quickly. The staff are very friendly, helpful, and despite the hearty nature of the mains, you’ll always feel tempted to order a pudding.

STREET FOOD CHEF

The festival’s longest-running street food trader and the one that pretty much kickstarted the scene here in Sheffield. The burritos at their venues on Arundel Street and Sharrow Vale Road never fail to impress and are simply amazing value for money. Time and time again it’s the go-to choice for me in need of a quick bite to eat in town.

CAFE PIE

Based at the end of South Road in Walkley, for some years now this has been a go-to spot for pie that never lets you down.

Putting a lot of pride in quality ingredients and generous portion sizes, it’s the finest slice in the city in my opinion.

They also offer good combo deals and it all goes perfectly with Hendo’s of course!

ZEUGMA

Another great foodie spot on London Road. This amazing Turkish restaurant is so good they now have two venues on the same road, situated within just two minutes of each other. It’s another proud independent business, same as all of my choices on here, and the level of craft and care that goes into their menu is evident after a visit. PS: make sure you go hungry because they serve up a real plateful!

OTTOMEN’S WILD GARLIC, SPRING ONION AND FETA BÖREK The Ottomen has evolved from James and Nick’s (the Otto bros!) love of great food.

COME TOGETHER Together Women’s VIBE (Voice, Influence, Be Empowered) is a project for and led by young women and girls aged 12-19 to have a say on issues affecting them and make changes locally, regionally and nationally.

The girls who attend VIBE (Together Women’s ‘Voice, Influence, Be Empowered’ project) are passionate about making a positive difference and taking social action in Sheffield. Two years ago, several young volunteers established GEMS Café - a social café for young women.

The girls felt that young women needed a safe female-only space to socialise and help reduce isolation with free or low cost food on the menu.

With a strong emphasis on supporting women with mental health issues, VIBE established a young woman’s mentoring service in 2017. More recently, the girls became more involved in co-producing workshops and activities for girls only, such as their CHANCES and WELL workshops and have gained leadership qualifications in the process.

This year the team have produced a mini-zine, a self-help guide to go alongside their #endperiodpoverty campaign ‘PadAttack’, which aims to distribute free menstrual

52 WWW.SHEFFIELDFOODFESTIVAL.CO.UK

products via outreach in schools, colleges and youth clubs.

Thanks to women across Sheffield (including Sheffield Hallam University who make regular donation to Together Women), the girls are now in a position to distribute and attack the problem.

VIBE raise funds for these campaigns at festivals selling home baked goods whilst raising awareness of their current campaigns and activities. Their VIBE ‘Girls Talk’ sessions and design team meetings runs every Monday 4-6pm at Together Women for girls up to 19 years of age. There’s a regular timetable of activities for 18+ women, too.

Find VIBE at the Food Festival on Sunday 26th and Monday 27th on Fargate. www.togetherwomen.org

FOOD FOR

THOUGHT

Sheffield Food Festival is a time to not only enjoy a huge variety of food, but to reflect on how we can all work together to improve the food system in Sheffield and beyond.

The food we rely upon every day is a product of a complex, interdependent and globalised supply chain dominated by relatively few multinational corporations. They maintain this unsustainable system by exploiting a monopoly of money and power to influence governments, damage the environment and maximise profits out of producers and consumers.

The evidence shows this unsustainable system contributes to (and is vulnerable to) the impacts of climate change, depletion of resources such as oil, phosphorus, soil and water, pressures of population growth and geo-political instability such as austerity and post-Brexit uncertainty. As a consequence, the UK and Sheffield food system is impacted in a range of ways.

FOOD SOVEREIGNTY

The UK currently produces less than 60% of the food we consume and relies on the EU for nearly 30% of food imports. The UK currently holds only 3-5 days of food supplies in reserve.

FOOD WASTE

It is estimated that UK households waste seven million tonnes of food and drink each year, costing an annual average ÂŁ470 per household. Most of this waste could be avoided.

WWW.SHEFFIELDFOODFESTIVAL.CO.UK

53

HEALTH INEQUALITY AND FOOD

Access to healthy food is a key factor determining the extent of health inequality across different parts of Sheffield, with life expectancy gaps and adult obesity rates amongst the highest in England.

POVERTY AND FOOD

Over the past five years, many food banks have opened in Sheffield, with benefit delays, low income and benefit changes being the most common reasons for accessing food bank services.

Developing a sustainable food system for Sheffield is a huge challenge. But thankfully - true to their character – the people of Sheffield are still rising to this challenge. Since the mid-1980s there have been progressive food plans, strategies and policies developed on an understanding that local government, the NHS, universities, businesses and Sheffield communities must all work together in partnership to create the lasting change needed. This important work continues - today and into the future.

A renewed energy and enthusiasm is present in Sheffield communities where decades of amazing local food work continues to blossom. A major challenge ahead is to turn post-Brexit price increases, farm labour shortages and market volatility into opportunities for the community economic development of urban and peri-urban horticultural enterprise – intensively grown organic fruit and vegetables, developing skills and community resources, creating local employment and promoting sustainable local economies.

There is the shared vision and strategic commitment to develop the environmental and economic benefits of a more resilient and sustainable food system for the Sheffield City Region.

So - could the next planned step be to demand the regional devolution of a post-Brexit agricultural policy? A policy which could be developed and resourced to support environmentally, socially and economically resilient mixed farming systems and land-based industries – creating a truly productive landscape for Sheffield.

FESTIVAL OF DEBATE

Returning for 2019 and taking place from 19 April and 5 June, the festival features over 70 events of all shapes and sizes in collaboration with over 40 partner organisations across the city. Food is at the heart of the ‘Our Planet’ strand, which is sponsored by Sheffield Climate Alliance and Regather. Check out our ‘food for thought’ highlights during, and in the run up to, the weekend of Sheffield Food Festival.

SERMON OF THE SOIL: SOIL DEGRADATION AND THE UNFOLDING GLOBAL DISASTER

Friday 24 May 2019 | 6:00pm to 7:00pm Millennium Gallery, Sheffield Professor Duncan Cameron, co-director of the Institute of Sustainable Food, talks about his research into soil degradation across the globe, one of the greatest threats to agriculture. Prof. Cameron looks at the past and present issues, and what we can do to develop sustainable agriculture to feed the world’s population.

WHERE DOES TINSLEY GET ITS FOOD FROM?

Tuesday 21 May 2019 | 6:30pm to 8:30pm Tingas, Sheffield With a range of new food-related projects emerging in Tinsley, from hydroponics to community allotments, all amidst food security and food waste pressures, how can Tinsley respond to this challenge and what community actions could be possible? An open space discussion involving community groups, academics and activists from the area.

THE CONNECTIONS BETWEEN FOOD AND CLIMATE CHANGE

Thursday 9 May 2019 | 6:30pm to 8:30pm The Scout Hut, Sheffield Our food supply and consumption is both a cause of and a solution to climate change. Join us for an evening hosted by Green City Action in partnership with the Sheffield Climate Alliance Food Group.

HAIL TO THE ALE The Steel City has always taken its beer seriously, and no Sheffield Food Festival event is complete without a wellstocked Fountain Bar on-hand to quench people’s thirst!

Boasting five times more breweries per capita than London, it’s no wonder that Sheffield has regularly been touted as Britain’s beer capital. The vast selection of craft beer and real ales combined with a thriving pub regularly sees ‘beer tourists’ flocking to the city keen to try established favourites and new offerings from the city’s independent breweries.

Situated in the Peace Gardens, right in the heart of the action, the Fountain Bar’s enviable selection of craft beer, real ale, lager and cider provides a fitting tribute to the city’s brewing scene.

Here’s a small taste of what you can expect.

ABBEYDALE BREWERY

Established in 1996, Abbeydale Brewery is a true Sheffield institution. 22 years later and with founder Pat Morton and his wife Sue still very much at the helm, the business has grown steadily throughout its existence and now produces over 220 brewers’ barrels per week.

Moonshine 4.3% Pale Ale A flagship, multi-award winning beer much-loved throughout the city. More than 20 years after its first brew and Moonshine is still a firm favourite across the board. Hopped with wallamette, delta, citra, chinook and centennial – this is a beautifully well-balanced pale perfect for any occasion.

Heresy 4.5% Lager Something new! For the first time in their 23-year history, Abbbeydale are introducing a lager to their core range permanently. Welcome Heresy! Clean, crisp, with good carbonation and a floral aroma.

TRUE NORTH BREW CO

True North Brew Co started brewing in 2012 using spare capacity at Welbeck Abbey Brewery, later opening their first plant on Eldon Street in 2016. Today they supply 11 pubs owned by the company and other independent venues.

Sheffield Pilsner 5.0% A traditional pilsner brewed in the heart of the city using the

finest pilsner malt combined with Czech saaz and Tetnanger hops, offering an initial malt sweetness followed by a crisp finish.

Eldon St Pale 4.0% A light taste with clean caramel notes.

Dry-hopped for a delicate aroma and enriched hoppy flavour.

BRADFIELD BREWERY

A family-run brewery based on a busy working farm in the quaint village of Bradfield. Using the finest malts, traditional hops and natural spring water from their own borehole they produce a range of distinctive and award-winning cask-conditioned real ales.

Farmers Blonde 4% The brewery’s best-selling ale – a modest, easy-drinking ale which suits most tastes and compliments a variety of cuisines.

Farmers Peach Ale 3.9% A relatively new addition to the seasonal ale range – this is subtle, fruity ale ideal for festival refreshment and beer garden enjoyment.

TRIPLE POINT BREWERY

Founded in November 2018 when Mike Brook (managing director – an engineer who was meant to be having a “gap year”) and his son George (a beer enthusiast, recent graduate and now sales manager) bought a re-possessed brewing plant and recruited an experienced brewing team.

Sky’s Edge Gold 4.0% Honeyed malts combine with cascade, amarillo and peachy Aurora hops for a quenching, balanced bitterness – a rewarding summer ale.

S.IPA 4.5% Supremely citrussy with orange, lemon, line and grapefruit from chinook and centennial. Dry-hopped with cascade and citra for a vibrant aroma.

KELHAM ISLAND BREWERY

A household name in Sheffield, Kelham Island Brewery was built in 1990 in the beer garden of the Fat Cat on Alma Street – the first new independent brewery in Sheffield in almost 100 years.

Today it is the city’s oldest brewery still in production.

Pale Rider 5.2% A local institution, award-winning pale ale and flagship beer. It’s forged from the finest Maris Otter malt and a special blend of American hops.

Kelham Islander 4% Cool off with this refreshing blonde ale, letting the perfectly balanced malt and light hops relax your taste buds.

WELBECK BREWERY

Cavendish 5.0% A beautifully balanced blonde with crisp, zingy grapefruit flavours powering through.

Pivo 4.8% Lubelski and amethyst-hopped continental lager style beer. Crisp and dry with more body than a traditional lager. Light fruit notes are dominant towards the end.

SOMETHING’S BREWING…

Ben Duong introduces you to a returning local hero and a new brewery venture to the city’s brewing scene, Stancill Brewery and Loxley Brewery, who will be stocking up the bar at the Eats, Treats & Beats Village with an eclectic range of drinks offerings.

STANCILL BREWERY

One of the two main breweries we’ve teamed up with for 2019 is the award-winning Stancill, whose story started in 2013 when Oakwell Brewery in Barnsley closed its doors. Thomas Gill and Adam Hague saw this as a great opportunity to make their dream a reality. “We were devastated to hear that the Oakwell Brewery was going under, so we decided to resurrect it,” says Thomas. “We bought the kit, got everything out before the site was demolished, and that’s how Stancill was born.”

Production started in January 2014 along with a move to Neepsend in Sheffield, enticed by the easy access to the north Sheffield water that’s perfect for brewing conditions. Fast forward to today, the brewery is one of South Yorkshire’s largest beer producers knocking out over 30,000 pints a week. It has an ever-changing range of beers on offer and 10-strong core beers, from the legendary Barnsley Bitter to Stancill Porter and Ginger Pale. The brewery also employs 50 members of staff across its pub division and own a seemingly ever-growing number of venues in Sheffield: The Horse & Jockey, Wadsley; The Albion, London Road; The Closed Shop, Commonside; and most recently The Old Grindstone, Crookes.

Something that makes Stancill different to other breweries in the city is that it’s one of the only breweries to create a craft lager and pilsner – Stancill Lager (4%) and Sheffield Pilsner (5%). Both of which are the Stancill’s most popular brews. Stancill will be championing its famous lager at this year’s Eats, Treats & Beats Village - something the brewery itself has supported for three years in a row. Head on over and see what all the fuss is about! www.stancillbrewery.co.uk

LOXLEY BREWERY

A forward-thinking microbrewery with deep roots in the community, Loxley Brewery’s key aim is for people to enjoy their ales as much as they do making them.

The adoption of a strict quality over quantity approach sees to it that all beers are handcrafted on-site with a strong focus on top quality real ales.

Situated in the basement of the popular Wisewood Inn, the brewery opened in 2018 and hit the ground running with its first beer – a refreshing blonde ale called Wisewood One. It was a resounding success with regulars and has since led to five more excellent ales being brewed. This summer, the brewery will be hosting its first ever beer festival in the beer garden of the pub and is quickly building up a solid reputation across the city, with more and more venues stocking its beers around South Yorkshire.

Innovation and a love of working with beer at the two driving factors for owner Steve Wesley, head brewer David Woodhead and general manager Craig Dodd. “We are in the business for the love of what we can create; our approach is to push ourselves to create some of the best beer not just in Sheffield, but the UK,” said Craig. An event like this that has the power to bring so many people together and drive the economy of Sheffield. It falls perfectly into who we are, so when we were approached to get involved, it was a no-brainer!” www.loxleybrewery.co.uk

Sheffield Food Festival wouldn’t take place if it wasn’t for the invaluable help of our sponsors.

The Sheffield Food Festival is the main culinary highlight of the Sheffield festival calendar. It attracts over 50,000 visitors over the festival weekend and is the city’s largest free-to-attend event.

It’s the support of the festival’s sponsors that makes this possible and this year the festival is proud to announce Just Eat as its headline sponsor. Just Eat is the world’s leading online marketplace for food delivery and, since coming to Sheffield back in 2006, has gone on to partner with over 950 restaurants in the city region alone.

Ian Haywood, territory manager (Sheffield and South Yorkshire) says: “Collaborating with the Sheffield Food Festival 2019 is the perfect opportunity to showcase Just Eat’s continued partnership with independent food retailers across the city. There’s plenty of amazing local favourites to order from such as Taco Mex, Just Falafs, and Rassam’s Creamery. You’re spoilt for choice!”

The food delivery market in Sheffield has grown enormously in recent years, with over two million orders brought to student flats, local’s apartments, and family living rooms over the last 12 months.

Beyond driving more and more orders, Just Eat also help restaurants by offering valuable support and insights into their business. It helps identify its Restaurant Partner’s busiest delivery areas, most popular dishes, and offers advice and support in other areas such as food hygiene, sustainable packaging and menu optimisation, which all helps create a great experience for busy restaurants and hungry customers alike.

One of Just Eat’s Restaurant Partners at the festival this year is the popular Greedy Greek Deli of Sharrow Vale Road. Since opening their doors in 2003, the Deli has provided fresh, homemade cuisine to the people of Sheffield and beyond. Word on the street is that their moussaka with a few drops of Hendo’s goes down a storm, so be sure to pay them a visit at this year’s festival!

Bob Worm, director of Sheffield Food Festival, says: “The food festival is growing year on year, and it’s great that we can have the support of a big brand like Just Eat. For 2019 we’re now officially starting the festival on the Friday and will run till 6pm on the Bank Holiday Monday. We’ve also extended the event footprint to take on more of Fargate. Let’s hope for nice weather!”
