And with 14 different vendors all under one roof, serving up cuisine and drinks from around the world, it is easy to see why. If you wanted, you could start your meal with a dish from Japanese kitchen, Edo Sushi, follow it up with Jailbird’s Nashville-style chicken, end on a dessert from Sheffield ‘bean to bar’ chocolatier, Bullion, and wash it down with some bubble tea from Als Gonchha.
It isn’t just Sheffielders who have been keen to praise Cutlery Works, the vibrant Neepsend venue also took the title of Best Food Hall in the 2022 Street Food Awards.
The transformation of the delapidated former cutlery works, into the contemporary hospitality space it is today, has also further cemented Neepsend and Kelham Island’s reputation as being among the best Sheffield neighbourhoods for food and drink.
But that’s just the opinion of this Star reporter. Scroll through the pictures to see 10 reasons why Google reviewers are raving about Cutlery Works.

Shahid Farooq said: "I love the concept of lots of different places/types of food, to choose from for dining in and using the same app to order from them, makes it much more enjoyable for a big group with varying tastes. Been here a few times now and service is always good." Photo: Sarah Marshall
8. 'Parking and access was quite easy'
Anirudh Kumar: "Have visited Cutlery Works several times, but this was the first time since several vendors have changed. Parking and access was quite easy, tables were clean and service was friendly and efficient. We got several dishes from Pellizco, an award-winning Mexican joint I had heard about before. Their Birria tacos were incredible and exactly how I expected them to be! Have had drinks from Gongcha and food from Jailbird Fried Chicken before, which have been pretty tasty. Would well recommend as a food hall in Sheffield and South Yorkshire!" Picture by Simon Hulme Photo: Simon Hulme
