Places to eat in the Sheffield area .... Quiffy?

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Since West Ham are playing at Bramall Lane on Saturday I find myself making another trip into relatively unfamiliar territory with the Hammerette in tow.

Since I'm boycotting motorway services on the grounds of sheer hatefulness, recommendations for wholesome post-match fare would be good. Proximity to M1, or routes leading to my spiritual concrete home would be a bonus.

Can't believe I'm going to have to watch Paul Thirlwell in action without needing to haraunge the useless tosser every time he goes near the ball. Neutrality is a wonderful thing, but he is hopeless.

To be filed adjacent to motorway service stations. :urff:

I was hoping for food. Y'know, stuff that, like, tastes of stuff. Ideally served in attractive surroundings with no unflattering strip lighting.

Does this happen in the Sth Yorks/Notts/Derbys area? If I can do it in Staffs surely I can do it anywhere?

Yep - Ecclesall road has plenty of places, there's a few places on division/west street that are ok, but for sheer fabness, i'd recomend pepe's - sort of opposite-ish the side of john lewis (the slopey road going from division street to the moor.

OK folks, thanks for that. I'm feeling a bit more optimistic now.

Could I say there's plenty of food for thought?

Thought not :oops:
