'Following on from the success of 'A Day in the Life of a Sheffield Appetite', Clare and Ros of Appetite have already planned a 'small appetite' event in the form of a Cake Break on Saturday 5 May, as part of M.S. Awareness Week.

The M.S Society is very close to Ros’ heart as her mum has had M.S. for over 25 years. Wanting to help promote awareness of the condition, Appetite is proud to be hosting this event.  After all it was helping her mum with the cooking that sparked Ros’ love of food.
 

Focusing on producers in the Sheffield area, there will be cakes, muffins and brownies from Komal of Fusion Organic Cafe, Honey Pie Tearoom, Heavenlies, Thelma’s Café, Cat Lane Bakery, My Honeybunch Cake Pops, #Brownies and Spoon Café Bistro amongst others donated by family and friends (all of whom Appetite have tried and tested!).
 

As there's nothing better than a piece of cake and a cuppa, the event will be held at independent coffee shop Tamper Coffee (on Westfield Terrace) who have kindly donated their premises. Along with Jonathan at Tamper's amazing coffee selection, there will be tea provided by Kirsty of Tea Box and both of them will be there to help you pair up your cake and your cuppa. 

There may also be chance to taste some new experimental varieties; designed especially for the event.
 

There is no need to book a place at this event and you can drop into Tamper at any time between 12 and 3 on Saturday 5 May for your cuppa and cake fix.  All profits from the cake sales will go to the MS Society making these cakes practically guilt free!

A night of fine whiskys, friendly faces, live music and tasty food.
 

The eagerly awaited follow up to our hugely successful whisky tasting with a difference.

Featuring rousing celtic folk and rock from James Cannon and the Sinners, and your own Open Mic Drinking Songs Session.
If you've got a drinking song you want to sing, email Sally and Ric at info@therudeshipyard.com and we'll pop your name on the list.
 

This time we're taking you on a magical whiskery tour, with whisky(ey) from England, Ireland Wales and Scotland...
 

Ireland - Red Breast 12yr Old
A multi-award winning Irish whisky and the only aged pure pot still whisky on the market.
 

England - St. George's Distillery Chapter 9
This is the first ever peated English single malt and we're told it tastes incredible.

Wales - Penderyn Single Malt
Matured in bourbon barrels and finished in Madeira casks. This was named Micro Distillery Whisky of the Year 2008.

Scotland - Dailuaine 16 yr old
A very smooth, warm and rich Speyside, with reviews so good it may even turn you Lagavulin lovers.

So that's your starters, but there'll be more to try on the night, including the hard to come by Ardbeg Alligator. Why Alligator you say? Well, say they, a portion of the whisky is aged in barrels so charred that they start to crack a little on the inside, resembling an alligator's skin.
 

We're also raffling off a very fine bottle of whisky and five whole Chocolate Guinness Cakes. Tickets available from The Rude Shipyard and www.wegottickets.com
 

So, get your £15 earlybird tickets for entry + 4 drams* at...
