Guided food and drink tours around the historic area of Kelham Island and Sheffield city centre.
Once a predominantly industrial district of Sheffield, Kelham Island was home to numerous cutlery and steel works, but its regeneration over the last decade has seen the area transform into a thriving hub of incredible independent restaurants, pubs and bars.
Sheffield Food Tours have teamed up with some of the best places to eat and drink in the area to offer you a true taste of independent Sheffield, along with fascinating insights along the way.
