Beloved New Zealand-inspired cafe Tamper is opening another Sheffield site

"Something new is brewing."

Clementine Hall Clementine Hall - 5th October 2026

One of Sheffield's best independent cafes is opening another site in a prime location.

Founded in 2011 by Natalie and Jon Perry, Tamper set out to bring a slice of Kiwi cafe culture to Sheffield.

Inspired by time spent in Auckland, the pair wanted to replicate the same community feeling felt in New Zealand over great coffee, food and hospitality.

Located on Arundel Street in the city centre, Tamper offers fresh seasonal food in a quirky, laid back atmosphere. And not to forget, the incredible coffee.

Not just that, they also serve a selection of wine and beer, making it the perfect catch up with mates for lunch and not just breakfast.

Dishes include the Kiwi Breakfast featuring Yorkshire sausages and lime corn ribs, chicken and waffles and the stacked corn fritters drizzled with hot honey.

This isn't your average brunch spot, that's for sure.

It's been a staple for Sheffield city dwellers for over a decade now, and Tamper is now setting their sites on a second site on none other than Ecclesall Road.

Sharing the news to Instagram, the team posted a short clip of the new site with text stating: "Coming soon. Ecclesall Road."

Of course, in true Sheffied fashion, fans of Tamper are flocking to the comments to express their excitement. And we couldn't agree more.

That's all the limited information we've got for now, but we'll keep you updated as and when we find out about the specific location or opening date.

But for now, pop into their site on Arundel Street to see what's in store - because there's a lot to get excited about.

Leeds pizza shop hailed ‘exceptional’ and ‘best in the UK’ by major reviewer

Clementine Hall Clementine Hall

A Leeds pizza takeaway has received a glowing review from popular review duo.

Edges Pizza opened up their first permanent spot in Leeds back in June this year, after making a name for themselves slinging out pizzas at multiple pop-ups across the city.

Owners Grace and Edge from Harrogate opened Edges Pizza two years ago, taking inspiration from trips to New York over the years.

Their pizzas are a love letter to the class New York slice, think thin and crispy rather than chewy and floppy. But above all else, think absolutely delicious.

And now, they've caught the attention of a major review page, with Bite Twice Food Reviews (a page with almost 300k followers) paying Edges a visit.

The food review duo of Gerry del Guercio and Paul Delany popped up in Holbeck beneath the arches to get their hands on a pizza, and the outcome is brilliant.

In the video, Bite Twice said that the pizza is 'f**cking exceptional' and up there with 'one of the best pizzas in the UK'.

Before even taking a bite, they said: "On aesthetic, I don't think anywhere in the UK is doing pizza like this".

Then after the first bite, they go on to say: "There are very few pizzas in the UK that create this, I’m a little bit blown away".

As Londoners themselves, they go on to say that Edges is 'easily hitting with the best that we’ve got down south'.

And if that's not high praise enough, they sign off the video saying: "Leeds has got an absolute gem. I give this a stamp so hard my foot went through the pizza. Edges. Don Level."

We will absolutely take that.

The 42-year-old Kirkgate Market stall serving freshly shucked oysters for £1.90 a pop

Clementine Hall Clementine Hall

Tucked away in Leeds Kirkgate Market you'll find a wonderful seafood stall selling freshly shucked oysters for £1.90 each.

It's places like these that remind us why we love Leeds so much.

Established in 1880, Hayes Seafood is widely regarded as the oldest trader within the historic Kirkgate Market.

For the past 42 years, it has been run by Cliff and Michelle, the loveliest couple who welcome every customer with open arms.

The menu here is small but perfectly formed, focusing on fresh, ready-to-eat seafood that you can enjoy with a squeeze of lemon and a dollop of mayonnaise at most.

Delivered fresh every morning, there's pre-cracked crab shells, brown and white crab meat, cockles, crawfish tails - all perfectly prepared for you to eat at their bar or high tables opposite.

But, it's the oysters that you'll see people queueing for. And rightly so.

Everything here is prepared to order right in front of you, and for no extra fee. You can choose from two types of oysters: super salty Lindisfarne oysters or the slightly sweeter English Loch Fyne.

We recommend having a couple of each, pulling up a stool right by the counter and getting stuck in. If you ask Cliff nicely, he might tell you a bit about the history of the place - but you may have to order a couple more oysters for that.

You're left to dress them yourself, whether you prefer dash of fiery tabasco or a few pickled shallots. But to be honest, they're delicious just as they come.

This spot is a real piece of Leeds history, and the queues at lunchtime as well as the repeat regular customers proves just how special it is.

All it's missing is a champagne stall next to it...now wouldn't that be perfect?
