Kringle Danish Bakery limited — Restaurant in Sheffield

I had an experience at this place, the details of which I will share right now. I entered and was immediately met with the sight of several swirls. The feeling this sight brought about in me was unexpected for it had been a long time since I last encountered them. 300 odd years in fact during my time spent sailing with a crew of Danish merchants transporting goose hides from Kallerhulme to Presgawyth. In Presgawyth these hides would be wrung for their valuable grease, then processed by the local folk into a highly durable and non-perishable snack. The grease would be used to lubricate wheels and such whilst the dried hides would be taken by the local men down the mines where they would often be expected to stay for several days at a time. They were hardy folk in Presgawyth, but they were kind and had a particular fondness for pastry. Prior to the introduction of Christianity to the area, a local folk religion was practiced that, at its most basic level, thought that all things evolve cyclically, that history doesn't repeat, but it does rhyme. The symbol for this was a spiral or swirl. And as an ode to their fading heritage, the Presgawythians preserved this eternal truth through their pastries which they called "Swærhls" in their local dialect. The Danish merchants took payment for the goose hides mostly in copper and tin, but none could resist supplanting a small fraction of that with these local "Swærhls". This food eventually became very popular in Denmark you see, but it has been some time now since I last ventured so far east. It warms my heart to see swirls return to where they once came.

Imagine my surprise when I stumbled upon Kringle Danish Bakery while visiting family in Sheffield. Born and raised in Denmark, I knew I had to give it a try, and I was not disappointed. This is the best Danish pastry I’ve had outside of Denmark - kudos to the entire team!

The atmosphere also felt very Danish, very laid back, very "hyggeligt", and it was a pleasure speaking in Danish with the owner, Christopher. It truly felt like being back home.

I bought a mixed box of pastries for my family, and they loved it too. They hadn’t heard of the place before, so I’m glad to have introduced them to it. I even got a message from my cousin today saying he’s already visited the shop twice - he’s hooked!

Keep up the great work! I’ll definitely stop by again next time I’m in Sheffield.
