The Milestone Group will run Cambridge Street Collective, a culturally diverse food destination that will form part of the transformative Heart of the City development programme.
The Milestone Group – founded by Matt Bigland and managed with his wife and business partner, Nina Patel Bigland – runs Cutlery Works and The Milestone pub at Kelham Island. The team plan to create a vibrant food hall on the ground floor of Cambridge Street Collective, featuring some of the best independent food and drink companies the city has to offer.
On the second-floor mezzanine, a theatrical cookery school with a seating area for live demonstrations and masterclasses will bring an entirely fresh dynamic to the city’s food scene. A broadcast studio to support a YouTube channel is also featured, with plans to showcase the best local pop-up chefs and vendors.
Occupying the venue’s top floor will be celebrated Chef Luke French and wife and business partner, Stacey Sherwood-French. The pair are behind award-winning Krynkl restaurant, JÖRO, as well as a steadily growing portfolio of dining ventures in Sheffield and beyond. The highly anticipated restaurant will also boast a rooftop dining terrace and pre-dining rooftop bar.
Matt Bigland, Founder of Milestone Group, said: “We are excited, humbled and ready to drive this project and the city centre into a new dining era. We believe a community is brought together via food and socialising. The food must be authentic, cooked with passion and celebrated by families around a communal table. Cambridge Street Collective is a clear reflection of this and will be open to all communities across the city.”
