Popular Sheffield restaurant unveils new summer menu

The Furnace in the city centre is giving customers the opportunity to explore brand new dishes, crafted by in-house chefs, alongside innovative cocktails. 

Guests can start the day with speciality coffees (£3.25) such as Matcha with green tea and vanilla or Pink Velvet with beetroot and orange zest, or sit down to an easy-going brunch (priced between £8.50 and £12) of classic dishes such as eggs benedict and smashed avocado and field mushroom on sourdough. 

Small plates like spicy garlic Gambas Pil Pil (£9.50), creamy Burrata with tomato and basil (£9.50) and Arancini with mozzarella and pea and watercress puree (£7) promise to arouse the appetite, whilst sharing charcuterie, cheese and deli plates (£10) are great to share as a starter or as a lighter lunch for one. 

 The new Furnace grill concept allows guests to have it their way, choosing from a selection of grilled skewers including Lemongrass Beef and Ginger Soy Salmon, and side dishes such as coconut rice and giant couscous salad, all served with an accompanying sauce to drizzle. Grill plates cost £16.50, with additional extras available.

 The venue is also launching a new outdoor pizza menu, for those wanting to snack whilst drinking on the terrace. Baked in the pizza oven, slow-proved, hand stretched dough is finished with house tomato sauce, Fior de Latte and classic toppings such as ham and mushroom, pepperoni, roasted veg and goats cheese with pesto. 

Fore those with a sweet tooth you can indulge in the new Salted Caramel Butterscotch Brownie with vanilla ice cream and crushed honeycomb (£7). For something fresher, try the pineapple, kiwi and melon Fruit Kebab, glazed with coconut sugar and served with a melted chocolate dip (£7).
