The Rhubarb Shed Cafe

A part of the environmental regeneration project Green Estate on the site of Sheffield’s Manor Castle ruins, The Rhubarb Shed Cafe has an admirable commitment to sustainability and vegan dishes. Serving daily breakfasts and lunches and Sunday roast, as well as afternoon tea upon request, The Rhubarb Shed Cafe is the perfect place to refuel after a hectic day visiting the castle ruins.

Start your day out the right way with breakfast dishes like the house Full English (traditional or vegetarian), avocado and halloumi on toast, or Thai spiced smoked fish hash served with hollandaise sauce, egg, smoked salmon, and roasted tomatoes. If you’re stopping by a little later, Rhubarb Shed Cafe’s lunch menu includes such exciting dishes as an onion bhaji ‘naan-wich’ and a decadent BBQ Southern fried chicken flatbread.

They also offer dedicated vegan and gluten free menus, so no one in your party with different dietary requirements need be left out. Dishes such as the Southern fried chicken flatbread can be offered with vegetarian meat alternatives, but if you’re a little tired of just ordering variants on whatever’s on the main menu, vegan-exclusive dishes include bruschetta crostini with plant-based feta and pickled beetroot and vegan creamy garlic mushrooms on toast.

If you’re exploring the castle, which boasts a long history, extensive grounds, and is said to be haunted by Mary, Queen of Scots, and you happen to bring your family along, you’ll be pleased to know that the Rhubarb Shed Cafe offers a fun and imaginative kids’ menu. When they’re tired from all that history and running around, your little ones can enjoy chicken goujons, egg mayo and cress sandwiches, margarita flatbreads, or even a child-friendly mini eggs Benedict.
