The food vendors who will be based there are gradually being announced on Instagram in the run-up to opening, with Samui Thai Street Food and Mexican fusion firm El Chappo the first to be confirmed. Cambridge Street Collective will be run by Blend Kitchen, which describes the 29,000 square foot venue as a 'one of a kind foodie destination at which to meet, eat and share'.

At the cookery school, 'expert' chefs will share recipes and tips to create delicious, authentic meals from scratch, and there will be an 'incubation space' to help new street food traders set up in the city. Blend also described how it is teaming up with Sheffield Children's Hospital and local food charities in an attempt to address food poverty within the city.
The exact opening date for the new food hall has yet to be announced, but Blend says the launch will include traditional performances and events showcasing the cultures and traditions of the various vendors operating there.
