Abi Golland
Founder of The Street Food Chef

I love writing, swimming outdoors, dancing, theatre, ballet, food and Sheffield. So if I can do all that in Sheffield or about Sheffield, then that’s good. In previous lives I have been a teacher, a nursery manager and an operations manager; and for the past 10 years I have run The Street Food Chef with my husband. Being an Independent Business Owner in Sheffield has given me an experience of the different communities in the city and has also caused me to be rooted here in a way that I never expected. I particularly appreciate the diverse nature of the theatre in Sheffield, and how it challenges and inspires – my writing for Now Then usually begins with a play, a ballet, a poetry reading or discussion. I am also plugging away at a novel.
