I know some of the programme committee are around - but is anyone else in town 
tonight, and if so, are there any groups meeting for beers/food/chinwag?


Me! Haven't planned anything yet but I'm pretty certain Sheffield has
both beer and curry.

The Fat Cat is one of the best pubs in Sheffield and is quite close to the 
venue, maybe a half mile walk along the river.  The Kelham Island Brewery is 
also right by it.  Not so sure about curry restaurants.

Hi all,

We’re planning to head to the Devonshire Cat at 1700-1730 or 
thereabouts.

There’s rather more food options up in the Division Street area, so we 
can split up after then for dinner as desired.


See you there hopefully!

The closest good one to there is 'Seven Spices'.  This is the closest
to the cluster of hotels near the UKNOF meeting hotel too.  They can
cope with larger groups and normally are quiet.

A smaller Deli style place which serve Indian food in Thalis is at
Kelham Island close to the Fat Cat - 'The Bjaji Shop' - ideal for 
small groups, booking recommended, pricier end.

Hopefully if you are staying a little longer in Sheffield you have a
hotel in the city centre, a mile or so South of the meeting hotel.
You can get excellent Indian food in Sheffield, some of my favourites:

Ashoka (typical decent British Curry house, nice cocktails from memory)

Akbars (a total factory, can cope with large groups)

Meveli (has some South Indian dishes).  Arusuvai is better at South
Indian dishes but further out of town.  Worth the trek if you love a
Dosa IMO.

One of Sheffield's many fine breweries makes a beer that's ideal for
pairing with spicy food (Gan Bei by North Union).  If you see it at
an Indian or Oriental food outlet, do try it.

I hope everyone enjoys their visit to the Jewel of the North of
England, we are all excited to have UKNOF back in town. Do drop me a
line if you would like any other culinary advice.

Last time we also spent a wee while in The Wellington, a little further
beyond that.  Excellent beer on, nice place. And it's rare to find a
whisky selection like theirs. :)
