Sheffield gifts for visitors

Recommended Posts

A few years ago I ordered online a very unusual map of Sheffield that shows many of the pubs but in the style of a tube map. If you google Sheffield pub tube map you should find them

And I guess it depends if your parents are drinkers.

 

But there's a good argument for Sheffield and Yorkshire as beer capital of the UK. A nice bottle of Kelham, Blue Bee or Abbeydale beer. Gorgeous Gorlovka stout from Acorn, Bradfield's down to earth blonde or stout, Ossett's Treacle stout or oatmeal stout from Wentworth. Loxley gin or Sheffield gin or anything from Thornbridge. Try the Dram shop on Commonside

 

We visited a friend in Portsmouth a couple of years ago and took with us a hamper of "northern" items....

A box of Liquirice all sorts

Some Yorkshire Mix (boiled sweets)

A bottle of hendersons relish

A bakewell pudding (yes, I know that's Derbyshire)

A box of Yorkshire Tea bags

Some bottled beer from Sheffield brewery

There were some other items as well, but can't remember what they were.

 

I covered a cardboard box with a copy of The Star and arranged everything in it.

 

Thats exactly what I'm doing! :D

I would like to get a knife, but they are a bit pricey for what I'm trying to do, and I'm not entirely sure its something they would really want

 

Hi I could obtain one cheaper having made knives for 35 years but I do not want to break the forum rules!!

what sort, and do you mean professionally sort of thing?

 

If they don't mind Sheffield humour and can tolerate a bit of swearing i recommend a cd by the Everly Pregnant Brothers.
