Eckington Charcoal in Sheffield is tucked away on a quiet street, but it has a really cool, understated vibe. The space is small and intimate, with warm lighting and plenty of character; looking through the photos, I noticed exposed brick and some interesting artwork. It felt very welcoming and relaxed, a place you could easily spend a couple of hours.

Their menu focuses on Caribbean flavours cooked over charcoal, which gives everything a delicious smoky taste. They have all the classics like jerk chicken and curry goat, but also some interesting specials depending on the day's market finds. One photo shows a perfectly plated whole fried snapper—that's definitely going on my list for next time!

What makes Eckington Charcoal special is the focus on fresh, high-quality ingredients and the obvious passion the cooks have for their food. It's the type of place perfect for a casual date night, a get-together with friends, or just a delicious solo meal. You'll find yourself wanting to tell all your friends about it – it’s a real hidden gem.
