Brace yourselves, diners and drinkers, because an exciting new food hall packed full with local independent traders is coming to Nottingham city centre very soon – and we can’t wait!
Just being able to go to a place where you can pick up all kinds of dishes and your drink of choice under one roof – it’s a dream come true – and also ideal for appeasing big groups of yer mates where not everyone wants to eat the same thing.
So, prepare to welcome Nottingham’s new food hall, which is being developed by a firm who knows all about the industry and local presence continues to grow across the UK.
Award-winning food hall operator Blend Family has announced it will be opening Clocktower Works this summer in the city’s Victoria Centre and they hope to make it a dining destination in the East Midlands.
The new 17,500 sq ft destination will feature 14 independent food partners, as well as a bar and coffee shop, bringing together bold concepts and diverse culinary experiences under one roof. It aims to be a space that keeps diners happy and lets culinary innovators can grow and thrive long term.
Clocktower Works will join Blend Family’s collection of award-winning food halls, including Cutlery Works and Cambridge Street Collective in Sheffield, Kargo MKT in Salford Quays, Tower Bridge Collective in London, and the upcoming Alfred Works in Digbeth, Birmingham.
Matt Bigland, Co-founder of Blend Family, said: “At Blend Family, we don’t just provide a space, we work alongside our Food Partners to develop strong, individual brands that can thrive both within our sites and beyond.”
Victoria Centre, East Midland’s number one retail and dining destination, welcomes millions of visitors each year. Located at the heart of the city, it sits at the intersection of Nottingham’s retail, cultural, and transport hubs, attracting a diverse audience of locals, students, and shoppers. Home to leading national brands, and dining destinations, Victoria Centre plays a central community role in the city. This establishes Blend Family’s innovative, community-led concept that brings people together through food, culture, and creativity.
Rebecca Milnes-James, Asset Manager at Pradera Lateral, who manage the Victoria Centre said: “Our focus is on creating a dynamic, experience-led destination that attracts a diverse audience and reinforces the centre’s role at the heart of the city. Blend’s scale, ambition and community-first approach will elevate Clocktower Works and make a significant contribution to Nottingham’s wider day to evening economy.”
