‘Such a wonderful place in our neighbourhood,’ chimes a fan of this ‘always busy’ local eatery. Occupying a converted shop in Sheffield’s Crookes district, No Name is full of eccentric touches: they don’t take cards, wine is strictly BYO (£3 corkage per person), the menu is handwritten on a wall-mounted roll of brown paper, and the whole place is a jumble of mismatched furniture that might have come from a local auction.

There’s always something intriguing for veggies (how about a savoury croissant pudding with blue cheese, honey-glazed parsnips and pecan pesto), while sweet treats could include passion-fruit tart with yoghurt sorbet, coconut brittle and pineapple sauce. Space is at a premium, and bookings are essential if you want to grab one of the two-hour slots in the ‘early’ or ‘late’ sittings.
