The revitalised restaurant bringing a unique culinary experience to Fulwood

Following a change of ownership and with a new head chef in place, Fulwood stalwart West 10 Bar & Kitchen is currently enjoying a fresh lease of life.

Tucked away on the edges of leafy Fulwood, West 10 has been a staple of the area’s food and drink scene since 2002.

The name reflects its location in the sought-after S10 postcode, a mere 10-minute drive west of Sheffield city centre and an even shorter jaunt to the eternal bustle of Ecclesall Road and Broomhill.

The venue came under new ownership in November last year, who wasted little time in renovating the kitchen and refurbishing the intimate upper-floor restaurant accommodating up to 26 diners.

The feedback for the new fine-dining menu has been exceptional, say the West 10 management.

“The aim was to breathe some new life into the venue,” says general manager Lucy Taylor. “We want to shout about the changes we’ve made, create a vibrant atmosphere and really make it a place where people across the city can come and enjoy themselves, whether that’s booking in the upstairs restaurant or enjoying a few drinks in the downstairs bar or on the outside terrace.”

The next big step was the hiring of accomplished head chef Scott Philliskirk, who’s brought with him more than 14 years of culinary expertise and a deep-seated passion for elevating fine-dining experiences.

With new ownership, the venue is looking to shake things up a bit and create a vibrant, welcoming atmosphere.

Throughout his culinary journey Scott has headed up kitchens at a range of highly reputable establishments in the region, including Rafters at Riverside House Hotel, The Cross Scythes in Totley and the Hidden Gem Café in Bents Green.

Hoping to help the venue stand out with a unique culinary experience, he has created a ‘blind’ seven-course tasting menu complemented by two signature snacks and created with a zero-waste policy in mind. These evening menus undergo regular transformations to ensure the freshest seasonal ingredients and they have recently launched a five-course tasting menu offer on Wednesdays and Thursdays at a reasonable £45 per person (or seven courses for £65).

Lucy adds: “The food really is amazing, a genuinely unique experience, and the feedback we’ve had reflects that. We work with local producers on the menu, offer a wine pairing option, and keep switching things up to reflect seasonality. I think we’ve managed to create quite a unique experience here in Sheffield.”

“We want to make it a place where people across the city can come and enjoy themselves, whether that’s booking in the upstairs restaurant or enjoying a few drinks in the downstairs bar or on the outside terrace.”

The lunchtime menu is also undergoing an exciting revamp (keep an eye on their socials for updates), but in the meantime, you can tuck into sumptuous mezze boards for the perfect afternoon pick-me-up.

If you’re looking for a tipple to go with that, vino is still very much their area of expertise, and a regularly changing list is curated by local wine merchants Mitchell’s.

Elsewhere, their crack team of mixologists have been getting creative with the cocktails to go alongside a rotating draught beer selection. You can also expect to see a few more craft options on display in the fridges, plus the addition of chilled live music evenings to set the tone nicely as we head towards the cosy winter nights.
