Trinity Leeds, the £350m city-centre shopping and leisure development which is owned by Land Securities, is launching its new food hall next week (17th October) which will also feature street food venders, pop-up market stalls and emerging high street food brands.
The 20,000 sq.ft street food concept, Trinity Kitchen, will feature seven permanent high street brands, all of which are new to Leeds, along with five ‘pop-ups’ which will change on a monthly basis.
Trinity Kitchen will select the five street food vans from across the UK with the help of food journalist and curator of the British Street Food Awards, Richard Johnson. The chosen vendors will be launched from the street by hydraulic lift up and into an opening in the wall of the first floor of Trinity Kitchen. ‘Swap out Sunday’ will take place on a monthly basis, offering consumers the chance to try something new each time they visit.
The first street food vendors to trade for the first four weeks include Leeds-based company The Marvellous Tea Dance, Big Apple Hotdogs, Gurmetti, and Manjit’s Kitchen.
Restaurant operators include Pho Café, who will be bringing its Vietnamese food to the city; Chicago Rib Shack will be serving up an American Diner menu; and PizzaLuxe, will provide its thin-base artisan pizzas.
They will open up alongside boutique bar offering, 360 Champagne & Cocktails, speciality coffee, food and wine company Notes Cafe fresh California-Mexican taco and burrito vendor Tortilla and Chip + Fish, serving a varied take on traditional fish and chips.
