The Moor Market is a brilliant place for the essentials on your shopping list, but there are a range of wonderful specialist delis and artisan cuisines within the market that you might not have had chance to try yet. From rare cheeses to handmade Portuguese tarts, we’ve compiled our top picks to expand your palate and try something new!


Mr Gao’s Hand Made Baking
This family-owned bakery pride themselves in offering an alternative to your usual super-sweet desserts by making brilliant light and tasty treats with minimal sweetness. They stock a variety of goodies like milk pudding, fresh cream cakes, their famous crepe cakes (the caramel crepes are to die for) and a variety of other indulgent snacks.

Green Leaves
There aren’t many places in the city that offer such a variety of Greek cuisines as Green Leaves. This extremely popular stall, started by owner Hossein seven years ago, gives the people of Sheffield a brilliant opportunity to try out something new. Their customer favourites include feta cheese marinated with chilli and garlic-infused oil, a small sample from the huge array of stuffed and pitted olives they have on offer.

S & J’s Pantry
Cheese enthusiast? Then you’ll be in good hands here! Specialising in locally-produced, artisan and fair trade goods, this food stall boasts over 80 different types of cheese – and they’ve even got a Henderson’s Relish flavoured one, a must try for any proud Sheffielder. Run by a friendly couple – Susannah and Jonathan Youdan – they also stock traditional baking items and other foodstuffs such as yoghurt, preserves and a selection of drinks.

Lemongrass Thai Supermarket
If you want to create superb Asian food in the comfort of your own kitchen, the Lemongrass Thai Supermarket is perfect for you. The first official specialist in the Moor Market offers a selection of great quality authentic fresh products from Thailand and Southeast Asia.

Cakelicious
After starting Cakelicious a few years back, Chris Wong and his wife decided to move into their first retail premises at the new Moor Market. Word of their exquisite handmade patisserie, fresh cream cakes and hugely successful Portugese tarts has quickly spread around Sheffield. Their famous tarts are among the best you will find in the area, along with Chris’ traditional Chinese Bubbletea with over twelve amazing flavours to choose from.

Dearne Farm Foods
With over 20 years’ experience in the industry, it’s no surprise that Dearne Farm Foods have gained a reputation for brilliant customer service and a range of quality foods.
