We all know the value of good background information when we are thinking of trying a new restaurant and the popularity of the Sheffschefs restaurant reviews section is testament to this.

However, even the Sheffschefs team rarely get the chance to pop into the kitchen and food preparation areas for a quick peep at what goes on in there, so we were delighted to see that Sheffield City Council have recently opened up the results of the city’s environmental health inspections, by adding them to a national public information site.
Scores on the Doors has a database of local authority reports on restaurants, take aways and other food outlets, so in just a few clicks we can now all see exactly what standards are maintained behind the kitchen door too.

Sadly, one of Sheffield’s well known Indian restaurants, Delhi Junction in Dore, has decided to close later this month, in preparation for a relocation to premises in Leeds. That’s the second restaurant in a few months to make this sort of move, as Cary Brown of the former Supper Club did much the same not long ago. It’s will be a shame to see them go, we’ll have to wait and see if a new restaurant will join the Sheffield restaurant scene as a result.

The latest reader reviews this month include Bluwater and Everest Tandoori.
