Some of them are long gone – others have closed recently after decades offering great food to the people of Sheffield.
We have put together a gallery looking back at some of Sheffield’s popular restaurants over the decades, many of which closed after running in the city for generations.
Some of them are famous across generations, while some are slightly lesser known. But this gallery of pictures will bring back the memories for the thousands who ate at them over the years.
The Olde Coach House steak house, The Wicker. While well known by some for its food, others will remember its adverts in the cinemas, featuring a chef sitting down to the table with the posh voice over: "This restaurant is so good - even the chef eats there.", before a still photo of the restaurant was displayed at the end.
