Forge Bakehouse
South Yorkshire, Sheffield - Bakery & café
An eminent bakery with around a dozen sunny tables (inside and out), Forge Bakehouse made a name for itself with its superb sourdough loaves, although the pastry selection should also be celebrated: the vegan maple pecan swirl is a thing of sticky beauty. A regularly changing line-up of sandwiches with generous, comforting fillings shows off the sheer quality of Forge's focaccia, while other options include savoury filled croissants and chunky pork and fennel sausage rolls. Very good coffee and cheerful staff seal the deal at this casual, 'carb-heavy' pit stop. There are local branches at Sheffield railway station, Beauchief and Lodge Moor, as well as outlets in Chesterfield and Dronfield.
