Working with our community

We're particularly proud of our work with local businesses and food producers, promoting Sheffield as a restaurant tourism destination.

In partnership with Sheffield City Council we run the annual Sheffield Food Festival, which attracted 170,000 visitors in 2012.

We work with the council to promote the city's food strategy and alleviate food poverty.

And our Eat Sheffield brand includes the coveted annual Eat Sheffield Awards.
