Situated just behind the train station as part of the city’s historic Park Hill building, South Street Kitchen offers wonderful vantage points of central Sheffield – not to mention great coffee, tasty Middle Eastern inspired vegan/veggie food and a guaranteed warm welcome.
You’ll find South Street Kitchen behind Sheffield’s train station. Simply pop up the stairs and head towards the city’s iconic Park Hill structure.
THE PLACE
Being part of one of country’s most famous Brutalist buildings, you’ll find an aesthetically pleasing ‘modernist chic’ running through South Street. The concrete walls are a reminder of the structure’s historic past (it remains Europe’s largest Grade II listed building) while large panoramic windows offer unrivalled views and bathe the interior space in natural light. Simple, contemporary furniture provides a crisp, modern feel and the space is brightened up further with engaging artworks and blooms courtesy of local florist Petalis.
The two-floored venue is refreshingly light and airy.
THE VIBES
Inside you’ll find a relaxed, laidback atmosphere from the early hours extending into the evening. There’s a bit more hustle and bustle downstairs, as punters pop in for a coffee, fresh loaves of bread or to ogle at the selections of sweet treats and bakes on the counter. During evening service hours (from 5pm on Fri/Sat) South Street offers something of a more affordable fine-dining alternative: fresh plant-based dishes with innovative twists are served, often available with paired drinks options.
Perfect for a morning coffee, lunchtime catch-up or relaxing evening meal.
WHAT’S NEW?
From 10th October South Street will be launching a brand-new all-day menu, informed by its usual focus on seasonal and sustainable dishes. They’ll be sticking to their strongly held ethos of plant-based small plates best served in a mezze style arrangement. Keep an eye out for the upcoming green shakshuka and an exciting take on Brussel sprouts!
The menu is a joy for vegan/veggie eaters – it’s plant-based food at its finest!
KEEPING IT LOCAL
They strictly use local suppliers and remain committed to serving the best vegan and vegetarian produce on the market; that’s everything from their vegan cheese from a Yorkshire-based company to sumptuous bakes from Sheffield’s-own 4 Eyes Patisserie. The house blend coffee comes from the award-winning Dark Woods Coffee, who ensure their beans are ethically sourced and traceable to farmers across the globe.
Award-winning coffee is served by trained baristas throughout the day.
AN EVENING TIPPLE, YOU SAY?
South Street serve an extensive cocktail, wine and beer menu each evening. On Fridays and Saturdays, they’re open until 10:30pm and provide a perfect spot to let your hair down with a choice of craft beers, speciality vino and expertly made cocktails. Being a two-minute stroll up the stairs from the city’s train station, it’s also an ideal stop-off while you’re waiting for your transport link.
Grab a cocktail or craft beer if you’re looking to let your hair down.
RISE AND SHINE
The doors open at 9:30am, so you can get your early coffee fix to take out or enjoy inside. The breakfast and brunch menus begin at 10am, where you can sample everything from vibrant homemade hummus plates and mezzes to all-day breakfasts. For lunchtime, the sandwich and wrap selections are always winners, or you can pack in the nutrients from perusing their selection of fresh daily salads.
Breakfast and lunch – sorted.
NOW FOR SOMETHING DIFFERENT…
Always keep an eye out for themed nights and special menus celebrating different cuisines and styles of food. Most recently they partnered up with Sensoria Festival on ‘Sound Bites’, an intriguing tasting menu pairing food and music to see whether sonic seasoning can help enhance taste. Other recent one-off culinary celebrations include tacos, Moroccan plates and an evening celebrating traditional Palestinian dishes. We’ve heard there’s a plant-based burger night on the way, as well as a dedicated menu exploring the food of Nigeria. Tempted? Head over to their socials and website for the latest announcements!
South Street celebrates a wide range of cuisines with special tasting nights throughout the year.
