Acclaimed local food operator reveals more as the development of Heart of the City’s major new food destination, Cambridge Street Collective, moves forward.
Cambridge Street Collective, which is currently under construction on the corner between Cambridge Street and Wellington Street in the city centre, will be run by the company behind some of Sheffield’s favourite food venues, Blend Family (previously The Milestone Group).
Blend – founded by Matt Bigland and managed with his wife and business partner Nina Patel Bigland – also runs Cutlery Works in Kelham Island. As Sheffield’s first celebrated food hall, Cutlery Works is currently the largest independent food hall for the North of England. Featuring 14 vendors over two floors, the 15,000sq ft Rutland Cutlery Works building has become a hive for food and drink lovers in the city and has played a significant role in driving the regeneration of Kelham Island and neighbouring Neepsend.
The venue will feature some of the best independent food and drink companies the city has to offer, along with a theatrical cookery school with a seating area for live demonstrations and masterclasses to bring an entirely fresh dynamic to the city’s food scene.
Matt Bigland believes his business has hit upon a winning formula when it comes to food halls, commenting: “Cambridge Street Collective will be a 27,000sq ft food hall set over three floors, encompassing over 24 kitchens, cookery school, bakery, and a mix of traditional, Asian and rooftop bars.”
