At last the sun has come out. Hurrah! Let’s hope it lasts a while now and gives us all the opportunity we’ve been waiting for to get out into the Peak District and enjoy a good pub meal or two. Talking of pub meals, we have a great review in this month for Rowley’s the gastro pub restaurant, which is run by the owners of one of our top local restaurants, Fischer’s of Baslow Hall. It definitely sounds like one to try.
We’re very excited this month to have done a deal with Spice Yorkshire to bring a terrific offer to our readers. If you’ve ever yearned to do something exciting, like have a crack at white water rafting or fire eating, but aren’t sure about tackling it on your own, Spice Yorkshire could be just what you need to get started. Mind you, they’re not just about adrenalin kicks and adventure, they also have a great range of more sedate social activities, including a dining club, which is what brought them to our attention in the first place.
Anyone who joins Spice Yorkshire through Sheffschefs will receive £100 of event vouchers free, to get their membership off to a good start.

The end of July saw an exciting new menu introduced at Sheffield’s top tapas restaurant, Cubana. The new menu has been created by Chilean chef Fabian Cruz, who has headed up the Cubana kitchen for seven years, ever since they opened as Sheffield’s first tapas bar. They’ve kept some old favourites, but new additions to the menu include ‘Cordero’ - slices of tender marinated lamb sauteed with caramelised red onions and ‘Pez espana’ - smoked swordfish on toasted Chilean bread. There is also an extensive vegetarian selection.
Cubana have also teamed up with Sheffield’s leading Italian restaurant, Nonnas. Nonnas Cucina have created a new range of luxurious Cuban style ice creams exclusively for Cubana, with coffee made from a special blend of fair trade beans.
Once again, the The Walnut Club in Hathersage is celebrating, as they have had confirmation that the restaurant has made it into the Michelin Guide 2008. They don’t yet know what the rating will be, but they are naturally delighted to have received this news, as their aim from the word go was to achieve Michelin status. Richard Mills, Managing Director said ‘I am very proud of our staff, especially our chefs, who work tirelessly in search of perfection with each dish’. We quite agree - a big pat on the back to all of them.
During the summer holidays, The Walnut Club have a special organic children’s lunch box available for just £3.99. Alongside the £5-£10-£5 set menu, this means that the whole family can have a day out in the Peak District and enjoy a great meal, whilst keeping the cost under control.
