Back in June, Mr Pickles’ Yorkshire Food Emporium sadly closed its doors for the final time due to financial difficulties. Four months on, it seems what was once a popular food hub on Abbeydale Road could be turned into a new bar.


Plans have been submitted to Sheffield city council for a new licence on the unit which, if the council approve plans, will become ‘The Dead Donkey’.

Primarily a bar, the Dead Donkey submitted a sample food menu which looks to take inspiration from all over the world. Some of the standouts on the menu are the ‘grilly cheese steak’, caprese (Italian salad) and croque monsieur – a French cafe favourite.

The proposed opening hours for the Dead Donkey would be midday to midnight, Monday to Saturday, and a earlier closing time of 11pm on Sundays.


The council is set to make a decision on the proposal shortly.
