HSC W.L.T. Eat / Sheffield
Sheffield is a great spot for foodie treats from all over the world. Here are a few places we’ve frequented recently – they come highly recommended.

Robin Hood’s Bay, catching lobster
We love our Robin Hood’s Bay lobster and it’s always a pleasure to head up to the East coast of Yorkshire to see Andy and the boys…usually in our favourite […]
An Oyster love affair
Cassanova, it’s claimed, breakfasted on 50 of them, the Romans saw them as the UK’s most valued natural assets and they are one of the most nutrionally well balanced foods. […]
