Mystery over extensive police cordon around former TGI Fridays in Sheffield

An empty Sheffield restaurant is under police cordon this morning following an unknown incident.

The former TGI Fridays on Sheffield Road, opposite Vulcan Road, was shut by police at around 8pm on Wednesday night (June 10).

This morning, officers remain at the scene with police tape stretched around the entirety of the building.

Access to the Premier Inn next door is unaffected.

South Yorkshire Police has been contacted for a comment.

The restaurant permanently closed in January 2026, but much of the branding remains in place across the building.
