Eat

This is a working class industrial city, so its native foodstuffs reflect this in their simplicity and, often, their factory origin. The unquestioned star of the culinary show in Sheffield is Henderson's Relish, produced in the Steel City since 1885. Known variously as Hendo's, the black stuff, relly or just Yorkshire sauce, this is a very dark brown spicy liquid condiment which can be added to any number of dishes as a flavour enhancer: fish and chips, casserole, anything with melted cheese, and even cocktails. Despite being practically unknown elsewhere, in South Yorkshire you will see Hendo's in all good chippies, in most of the city's gift shops, and in supermarkets.

Drink

The city is known for its wide variety of traditional pubs, most of which serve local ales. The nightlife is lively: there are almost 30 nightclubs, numerous bars and restaurants to suit all budgets, six theatres and three city-centre cinemas. Sheffield is well known for its large number of pubs. From dark and Victorian to sleek and modern; and from traditional real-ale haven to noisy standing-room-only bar, you can easily find a pub in Sheffield to suit your taste in beer, music and company.

Stay safe

As with the rest of the UK, in any emergency call 999 or 112 and ask for Ambulance, Fire or Police when connected. All central areas or main shopping suburbs are perfectly safe during the day. After hours, some peripheral parts of the city centre may seem a little quiet and lonely, but any well-lit street with plenty of people about will be as safe as any city centre in the UK if the usual precautions are taken. Some outer neighbourhoods around North and East Sheffield such as Attercliffe, the Manor and Page Hall do receive some attention in the local media and are perhaps better avoided, however as a tourist, you will almost certainly never visit them anyway.
