Even though much of S17 has a definite suburban, if not countryside feel, there are still many restaurants and pubs to choose from. The Summer House in Dore serves breakfast, lunch and dinner in the attractive surroundings reminiscent of an English country house's garden room; priding themselves on their gluten free options and fish dishes. Having the Peak District so close, there are many cosy pubs in this area too. A few of these are gastro pubs, serving exceptional food but also welcoming muddy boots and well behaved dogs. The Dore Moor Inn, The Cricket Inn and The Cross Scythes – Totley are all popular gastro pubs in the area. There are three Indian Restaurants to choose from too: Mohul Indian Cuisine, Almas Indian Brasserie and Rajdhani. Other restaurants worth mentioning are: Joe & Dolores @ The Grill, The Hare & Hounds, The Moorlands and S17 Coffee Shop & Bistro. However, with the Antiques Quarter and the city centre being so close, you don't need to travel far if you want a bit more hustle and bustle when socialising.

One of the quaint attractions situated in S17 is the Abbeydale Minature Railway. Run by model train enthusiasts, they open their railway to the public on a few dates throughout the year when not only can you admire the engines in the beautiful woodland, but for a small fee you can take a ride on the trains.
