Autumn food trends: Why food halls are popular

Food halls that showcase multiple food vendors under one roof have popped up in London, Leeds and Doncaster, as well as many towns. “Food halls suit large groups who want different food types or diets,” says James Ashurst, Client Director at CGA. “They’re ideal incubators for hospitality entrepreneurs and new concepts too, with low start-up costs and overheads.” If you want to expand your business why not open a pop-up or ‘best of’ concept in a food hall? Usually, you only need one member of staff and can rent for short periods of time. You’ll access younger demographics and can test out new dishes with instant feedback.
