Huge food hall set to open in Birmingham and aiming to be 'best in the UK' - here's when

A new food hall will open in the Jewellery Quarter this summer.

St Paul's Market will showcase all the best independent food vendors in the city.

The market has signed a 15 year lease on a building on Mary Ann Street, which will house the venue over two floors with 500 seats available for customers.

St Paul’s is set to host six independent kitchens and two bars serving locally brewed craft beers, cocktails, wine and more.

In a post on Instagram, the company said: "We’ve spent the last 11 years championing Birmingham’s vibrant independent scene and encouraging thousands of people to support local through our social media pages and newsletter, our IB App, and our hugely popular food festivals - creating an essential platform that has helped our independent scene to flourish. And now this is the next stage in our journey to celebrate Brum and showcase our city’s incredible indie scene.

"We want to create the best food hall in the UK - and we can’t wait to share our plans with you over the coming months."

The official opening date hasn’t been confirmed yet but will be this summer.
