Sheffield has a booming culinary scene right now, with a huge new city centre food hall set to cement its reputation as a foodie hotspot.
But the hospitality industry is a notoriously difficult one, with many new restaurants and takeaways failing to survive beyond a matter of months, let alone years.
Below are some of the oldest and best-loved restaurants and takeaways which have stood the test of time and are still running in Sheffield after at least 20 years.
They include several Sheffield institutions, beloved by the general public and by celebrity customers alike.
Among them are two Michelin-recommended restaurants and one of Britain’s oldest fish and chips shops, with a fascinating history.
How many of these places have you eaten at and do you have a favourite?
We’d love to hear about any other long-established Sheffield restaurants and takeaways we’ve missed off our list, which is by no means exhaustive.
