Sheffield foodie heaven and South Yorkshire best takeaways

England's capital of steel is the term that comes to mind when you hear Sheffield. Indeed the town was built on a steel industry and still remains a pretty industrial looking town although that is changing now and that's part of a common trend in the UK these days. The economy has experienced steady growth averaging around 5% annually looking back at things how they stand in 2013, greater than that of the broader region of Yorkshire and the Humber.

Sheffield is a major retail centre, and is home to many High Street and department stores as well as designer boutiques. The main shopping areas in the city centre are on The Moor precinct, Fargate, Orchard Square and the Devonshire Quarter. Department stores in the city centre include John Lewis, Marks and Spencer, Atkinsons and Debenhams. Sheffield's main market is the Castle Market, built above the remains of the castle. Shopping areas outside the city centre include the Meadowhall shopping centre and retail park, Ecclesall Road, London Road, Hillsborough, Firth Park and the Crystal Peaks shopping centre. These places are also busy with people looking for a bite to eat. Restaurants and takeaways are fairly popular around here.
