Inspector comments
"Culinary innovation in leafy Sheffield."
Overview
A stalwart of the Sheffield dining scene, Rafters Restaurant is located in a parade of shops in a residential neighbourhood. The first-floor dining room is styled with rustic-chic, grey-toned decor with plenty of exposed brick and, of course, the high beams that inspired the name. With just 24 covers it’s an agreeably intimate dining experience. Expect creativity, precision, and intuitive flavour combinations in 6- and 10-course tasting menus, while the ‘Kitchen Bench’ option provides ringside seats at the open kitchen.

About the area
Traditionally a steel and coal producing centre, the decline of both industries in South Yorkshire has been replaced to some extent by tourism based around the area’s beautiful Pennine countryside. The county claims part of the Peak District National Park, whose hills and dales provide welcome space for the large urban populations
