Sheffield Fargate shipping containers: full list of shops and food outlets announced including Yoki and Get Wurst

Sheffield Council teamed up with Steel Yard, a Sheffield based shipping container specialist, to deliver the £446,000 project that is due to be open at the top of Fargate outside the Town Hall later this month following delays.

When completed, it will feature food vendors, shops, toilets, living walls, outdoor seating and a big screen in a bid to draw more visitors to the area.

Preparations have been taking place on site behind a barrier which revealed the full list of local independent businesses that will be running the attraction.

They are: Jam Art Works (original prints), Yoki (Korean street food), Urban Slice (pizzas), Hide (events), Re-Owned (pre-owned clothing), Get Wurst (German street food) and Cake & Craft (bakes).

Delays

The project was due to open ahead of the Women’s Euros but it was partly delayed when Yorkshire Water raised concerns about it damaging the sewers.

Yorkshire Water – which was not consulted – said the original plans approved by the council posed risk to one of the biggest sewers in Sheffield and could have harmed the sewer network.

The council and Yorkshire Water eventually came to an agreement after the local authority put forward new proposals moving the entire structure approximately 1.3 m to the right.

This will not change the layout, quantity or look of the containers and the cost was unaffected, according to the council.

Updated plans did not require new planning permission, the local authority said, because approval was granted for the whole area at the top of Fargate.

MORE PLANNING: More than 110 dog walkers support Sheffield’s only dog park as it seeks planning permission

A council spokesperson added: “Nothing has changed about what’s already been approved for the containers. It’s the same development delivered in the same way, but just located slightly to the right of where it was initially planned.”
