New Food Hall Destination Planned For Sheffield City Centre
Sheffield will cement its reputation as a foodie destination with plans for a new food hall to be operated by Blend Family. The city is already home to Cutlery Works, which is the largest independent food hall in the north of England, Insider Media reports. The new development will be run by the same team, Matt Bigland and wife Nina Patel Bigland.
The new venue will be known as The Cambridge Street Collective, and is located between Cambridge Street and Wellington Street in the city centre. It is described as “ culturally diverse” and will feature a “theatrical cookery school” where visitors can watch live demonstrations and masterclasses.
Matt Bigland told the publication: “This venture will reinvigorate the city centre. With Cutlery Works, we found a niche in the market that allowed traders to test products and lean on bigger footfalls without taking a traditional 15-year lease and having to put their life savings on the line.”
The new venue will be set across three floors, and as well as a cookery school, it will encompass a bakery, 24 kitchens, and a range of rooftop bars. The venue is expected to open to the public in the autumn.
Sean McClean, director of regeneration and development at Sheffield City Council, said: “Heart of the City is making fantastic progress and we’re moving towards the business end of the construction programme. Visitors to the city centre can now see the significant mix of quality new buildings and diverse offers all coming together at pace.”
Alex Hyams, senior asset and leasing manager, at Queensberry, added: “Cambridge Street Collective will bring a critical mass of footfall back into Sheffield City Centre.”
“With the expertise of Blend Family and a truly stunning venue built on Sheffield’s heritage, it will become a diverse and inspiring destination for socialising and relaxing with families and friends. It will be a place where people can interact, relax, share experiences, chat, eat and drink, all while supporting opportunities for the best local talent to experiment and grow.”
Meanwhile, a new events venue in a dilapidated area of Sheffield city centre is set for approval. The new scheme to the north of the centre where the River Sheaf and the River Don converge is described as a “civic improvement project” that will include a landmark events space and a public park.
The disused brownfield site is described as “complex” in a report by Sheffield’s planning committee, because it contains the archeological remains of a former castle and underground chamber. If the planning application is successful, the work would be funded by a contribution from the Levelling up Fund, and other private investors.
Planning permission has been sought for the new space to host community events and to create other plots that can be used for residential and commercial purposes. THe plans have been put forward jointly by Sheffield city council and the developers Arup.
