Dine Sheffield, which ran for a week for the first time last summer, is back between March 15-29.

The initiative from Sheffield BID works as restaurants signed up to the scheme then offer bespoke menus, with prices from just £5.

Diners then download vouchers for the restaurant they wish to visit.

Tina Gage, of Arundel Street restaurant Silversmith’s, said: “We joined Dine Sheffield last year and were pleasantly surprised at the vast quantity of new customers that tried Silversmiths. The event brought a lot of custom into the city centre, especially those that didn’t realise these independents existed, giving the opportunity for people to experience new places that they wouldn’t usually try.”
