Focusing on the best of seasonal, British ingredients, menu highlights include Crispy fried smoked salmon and haddock fishcake with creamed leeks, a poached egg and hollandaise sauce, a classic Grilled 8oz Sirloin Steak, aged for 21 days on the bone and served with confit of tomato, roasted onion, grilled mushrooms and triple cooked chips or opt for a Pan-fried sea bass with charred broccoli, minted salsa verde butter and lemon crushed new potatoes. As it’s not Sunday without a cracking roast, you can also choose from premium cuts of British beef or chicken, complete with plenty of gravy and all the trimmings.

Elevating your dining experience further, each course is expertly paired with wines from across the globe, ranging from a Chardonnay from Chile and Sauvignon De Touraine from the Loire to a Stellenbosch Pinotage.

Afternoon tea

Afternoon tea is one of the most quintessential British customs still enjoyed today, and it dates back to the mid-18th Century.

It was introduced by Anna, the seventh Duchess of Bedford, in 1840; after finding that she would become hungry between lunch and dinner, which was served fashionably late at 8pm.

Thus, the idea for afternoon tea was born, and it quickly became a fashionable social event that society, and upper-class, women would dress up for.

Today, afternoon tea is still enjoyed across Britain, with plenty of establishments offering their unique own take on the custom, and swapping tea for sparkling wines such as champagne and prosecco.

One place that comes highly recommended by Sheffielders is Lost and Found on Ecclesall Road, which offers afternoon tea from £23.95. Visit: https://the-lostandfound.co.uk/ for more information
