Mardi Gras Carnival Continues Saturday 25th….

There is not much of a nod to the carnival theme but there are bands and saxophonist accompanying DJ and other acts.


Including same aerial acrobat as at Chinese New Year event. She is amazing hanging off a Hulu hoop attached by nothing more but her limbs; so strong and flexible. I would not want to attempt half of what she does above a concrete floor!


My starter was a shared platter of calamari from Italian stall; as a connasoir of calamari they were pretty good. I then had an ostrich burger with tasty onions and cheese.


There was also a hot dog stall, smokehouse van, crepe van, pizzas. The Indian street food stall was doing interesting and tasty looking wraps. Later in the evening from the waffle store I had a rocky road waffle. There was also bannofee and millionaire waffles.

The prosecco and other main bar was present as for Chinese New Year. As was the city taxi booth for free photos. There was a good atmosphere on the dance floor before ten. My prediction that is was a good place to take kids was correct as the almost 2 year old with us had a good time running round. Plus it was still free to get in.

It does not specifically say it is for Mardi Gras,  but it is during traditional Mardi Gras season. Mardi Gras are celebrations (parades and carnivals) that occur in the two weeks prior to Ash Wednesday. This year Shrove Tuesday is on the Tuesday 28th February and Ash Wednesday is Wednesday 1st March.

The best hot chocolate in Sheffield.

The  best hot chocolate is served in Cocoa Choclate shop on Ecclesall road.  Well  the type I like best anyway! Which is being very near to melted chocolate. The best ever example being in a hotel that I can not specifically recall in Spain. That hot chocolate was so thick a skin started forming on it. For some this type of hot choclate would be too rich, but it is what I like!

My favourite hot chocolate at Cocoa  is the black Forrest which includes two strongly brandied cherries 🍒 which sink to the bottom of the pretty tea cup. I also like the full monty without the nuts. Or best of both worlds; full monty with no nuts and addition of the bandied cherries. I was also impressed by the Snowball hot choclate (a coconut concoction) that I sampled before Christmas; very festive.
