Leopold Kitchen - Review

I’ve moved to Sheffield! So reviews of places up in South Yorkshire (and maybe a bit of Derbyshire) have
started!

My brilliant parents drove me up from Surrey to Sheffield so when we got here we were in the market for some

Leopold Kitchen from across the road

lunch! I’ve actually been to the Leopold Kitchen (which is located opposite Leopold Square on the corner of Church Street and Leopold Street) before and really loved it. So I took my parents from my nearby flat to this cafe (convenient or what?!).

It’s a cheap and cheerful cafe which serves the usual cafe food (sandwiches, pasties, pizza slices etc.) but

with a slight difference which makes it more than a cafe, offering "proper hot dinners" as my mum (who is originally from Sheffield) would say! There is friendly air and a welcoming atmosphere. Living within spitting distance of London my parents are used to London prices and so were very impressed by the value for money.

Roast Pork Sandwiches!

On the railing on the edge of the pavement the cafe advertises a roast pork sandwich with trimmings and salads included, it even comes with a free cup of tea! 

So my mum and I ordered the roast pork sandwich because it just sounded 

so tasty! I was expecting something filling and tasty, but what arrived was bigger and better than I had expected. The sandwich was less like a sandwich and much more like a baguette, filled to the brim with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and even crackling. I love crackling, but sometimes it is a massive disappointment, soggy and fatty, ewww... so I wasn’t sure what to expect with this, but I was impressed to bite into crisp, crunchy and tasty crackling. It really completed the sandwich! The salad that came with the sandwich was also really tasty, it was fresh and crunchy with a tangy dressing. My dad ordered a Cornish pasty and although he said that it was nice, he was clearly jealous of our sandwiches and had his eye on my mum’s.

I would definitely recommend that anyone anywhere near the city centre pop in here for a bite to eat. It’s good food for a good price, the coffee is nice, you can get tea with your sandwich and it’s convenient for the shops. There are lots of chains in Sheffield but you should definitely try some of the independent cafes and restaurants (of which there are so many) and I aim to review and visit as many as I can!
