In our first episode of 2025, we’re joined by Kerre Chen, owner of Independent Sheffield, a business dedicated to championing small, local businesses in the city. Kerre is also the food blogger behind @theinsatiablefoodie on Instagram, a content creator, and a freelance social media manager for local restaurants. 

We chat about Sheffield’s incredible food and culture scene while sampling some popular Chinese snacks—some of which are traditionally enjoyed during Lunar New Year celebrations. With plenty of food recommendations covering a variety of cuisines, this episode will give you a solid list of places to try in Sheffield this year.
