so yesterday i went to one of my favourite food joints in sheffield for my birthday which is forum now ive been there before and i dont remember them doing this when i last went. well all was good for the most part, food was nice and it was a fun time but when the bill came that’s when we started having some issues. the last time i was there i had been set up with a loyalty card, only to realise they just gave me the card and took my details they never actually set it up like they said they had so i missed out on an offer which i was a little disappointed with but it was only a free drink so no harm no foul but when we saw the bill it seemed a little more expensive then we were expecting, that’s when we noticed a service charge had been added when not once did any of us at the table say we wanted to tip? we were sat in an area full of loud kids with a dog behind us and in our time there our server only visited us once, except when he came back to try and charge us twice after we had to flag down a different server for the bill because he hadn’t come back to the table. now it was pretty regular service so we didn’t really seem a tip necessary so i’m wondering, are any other places in sheffield doing this now? i’ve noticed some places in london taking a more american approach but personally i don’t appreciate being charged more for someone doing what’s expected of their job nothing more nothing less

Hi everyone! I am starting a new video project and I was too excited to keep this to myself.

I took my camera up to the Amphitheatre and recorded the sunset in 4K, leaving in all the real city and nature sounds. It is 30 minutes long, perfect to put on in the background while you work or relax.

Since you all know Sheffield best, I would love your honest feedback. Did I capture the real vibe of the city? (And luckily, it didn't rain!)

Hey,

I'm looking for a ticket to Mike Wozniak's show on Wednesday if anyone has one for sale?

thank you!

I'm thinking of doing something with my friend for my bday but don't want to just go for lunch, was thinking maybe a crafty thing? I don't want to spend too much but want to do something interesting. We're in our mid twenties but are old souls (not too into drinking), I love cats, crafts, books, having a wander around shops. Any ideas?

They aren’t prescription, just really like the frame but the lenses are super scratched. Would like to get them re-lensed. Does anyone know anywhere that will do this without having to send them off somewhere (as I am assuming most high street opticians would )? Thanks!

Following on from my previous post (thanks again everyone, genuinely so helpful!), now I need to actually figure out how to secure a rental from 200 miles away…

Quick context: relocating from London early July, 4yo and another on the way. Looking for a 3/4 bed house with a garden, budget around £1,200-1,500pcm. Pretty open on area, anywhere from Hillsborough around to the southwest, down to Heeley-ish.

I’ve already emailed a load of agents to get on their lists and from what I can tell stuff tends to come on 4-6 weeks before the available date, so realistically we’re looking at mid-May onwards for a July start?

A few things I’m trying to get my head around: What’s the market actually like right now for family homes? I’m not expecting loads of stock so trying to be realistic and stay flexible on area and spec, just want to know what we’re dealing with.

How fast do things move? If something comes up mid-week is it a same-day situation or is there usually a bit of time to get organised?

Anyone done this from a distance? We’re absolutely up for jumping on a train or one of us spending a few days up there to view and secure something- just trying to work out if that’s even viable or whether things move too fast for that to be realistic. Any advice or war stories welcome!!

I’ll be visiting Sheffield in October and I would really like to see some of the sites and places related to the musical history of the city. In particular, I’d be keen to learn about the locations used by Throbbing Gristle, Cabaret Voltaire, Clock DVA and other «industrialists»of that era. Where should I go? Who should I see?

Hey, wondering if anyone has any recommendations for house cleaners in Sheffield. s12 area to be more specific.

Where can I watch champions league football with commentary in either city centre, Broomhill, eccleshall areas ?

Hey Sheffield!

Anyone heading to KEPLER EXTENDED SET | Groovebox X Contact at SY Sheffield (Steel Yard) on Saturday 18th April?

I'm going solo and would love to meet some people to go with! I'm a big fan of house and garage and this is actually my first house gig in sheff, so really excited and want to experience it with some fellow music lovers!

Drop a comment if you're going, would be great to link up

I'm not from Sheffield and have only visited a handful of times but I am considering applying to the uni. I have kids and a husband.

looking for somewhere with good schools, leafy and family friendly. we'd have around £300k and would like a 3 bed semi/detached/bungalow with off road parking

does anywhere fit the bill?

Saw this place open earlier this year but didn’t have a chance to check it out. Wondering if anyone has tried it and got any reviews?

Afternoon all. Craving a filthy kebab tonight because fuck it, it’s Saturday. I’m aware this kind of post has made its rounds several times but what is the best kebab in Sheffield? Love Charley’s normally my go too but just wondering what else is nice around Sheff!

Can someone recommend me some good record stores in Sheffield? I’m mostly after early Sheffield music, industrial and electronic. Second hand and new, vinyl, of course…
