Eann Smith, creator and operator of HoH, said the new venue would be a destination that “Hull can be proud of”.
“HoH is a hive of local producers, makers and bakers. We aim to attract 2 million visitors a year and breathe life back into the city centre.”
“We also have pop-up opportunities up for grabs for aspiring producers to promote their brand or concepts in our food hall. This gives a platform to those talented individuals, helping launch their products to the public.
“This rotation will keep HoH fluid with a vibrant mix of creative independent businesses.”
Another addition to HoH – ‘Guerrilla Street Kitchen’ – will facilitate local chefs who may not have the opportunities to open their own restaurant, creating a community spirit that showcases and celebrates local talent, Eann said.
