August Food & Drink News

Seven Hills Whisky Festival is back on 18th October

Well, summer is nearly over and what a summer it has been! We hope you've enjoyed the weather and a sunny beer garden or two over the past few months. We have had a busy time with our public tours, as well as hosting a number of corporate team events and some international visitors to the city!

There has been quite a bit going on with our food-scene too. Department food hall opened and then very quickly closed citing financial difficulties after just 7 weeks of operation! Kapital Beer Hall & Restaurant opened to much fanfare, and the lovely Mattia from Paradiso opened his Tiramisu cafe in Sharrow Vale after a nail-biting round of crowd-funding.

We are now gearing up for our autumn tours which still have lots of availability - if you haven't joined us yet. We've been getting great reviews on Trip Advisor - all 5 star thanks to our fab tour guides Ben, Peter, Amy and Maria.

Paradiso Sheffield's First Tiramisu Cafe

Sheffield’s first dedicated tiramisu café, Paradiso, has opened its doors in Sharrow Vale this August. Founded by Italian dessert specialist Mattia, the café will serve handmade, alcohol-free tiramisu inspired by his Nonna’s traditional recipe, with modern twists like Biscoff, black forest, and pistachio variations. After launching his first shop in Kelham Island, Mattia crowdfunded over £8,000 to bring this new concept to life, transforming the former Elma’s Café into a haven for tiramisu lovers.
