Europe’s biggest ‘purpose-built food hall’ has announced it will be opening it’s doors to the public on 23 May.

The Cambridge Street Collective posted to their Instagram account last night to let their followers know they will be able to visit the brand new food hall at the end of May, listing the food vendors set to open soon.

In a brochure about the new food hall, it was described as being envisioned as a “destination for people to meet, socialise, eat, drink and be entertained.”

Egg&Co is one of over 20 independent food partners who were revealed to be joining the Cambridge Street Collective after having a kitchen in Manchester food hall, Kargo MKT. 

Owner and founder of Egg&Co, Umer Khalid, said: “We’re egg-cited to join the Cambridge Street Collective family and can’t wait to meet everyone!”

The inspiration for their sandwiches came from Umer’s time spent travelling in Hong Kong, where he was introduced to Tamago Sandos, a popular food in Japan.

After trialling their products in Manchester in 2017, they soon expanded and said they look forward to bringing the business to Sheffield.

Umer added: “We will be bringing more items to Sheffield like our kimchi sandwich and an egg mayonnaise with salmon sandwich to add to our summer editions.”

The Cambridge Street Collective is one of the new developments coming to Sheffield as part of the Heart of the City 2 initiative.

In one of the Cambridge Street Collective’s first Instagram posts, they described themselves as “the new hub where you can get lost in the city’s diversity and step out of your culinary comfort zone with incredible dishes from around the world.”
Dates for events such as pasta making parties and free mini discos for children can be found on their website here.

The Heart of the City 1 project, which began in 2004 and was completed in 2016, was a £130m major re-development located adjacent to the Heart of the City 2 area. 

Now, the second instalment of this redevelopment scheme aims to create up to 7,000 new jobs with it costing £470 million and is set to be finished this year.
