Hospitality business Revolution Bars Group is planning to create a new food hall in the vacant, Gothic building, in 605 Ecclesall Road, following the success of similar ventures in the city like Kommune, Cutlery Works and Sheffield Plate.
If approved, the new food hall, set to be named Founders & Co., will offer a restaurant, bar and local business hub with space for retail and work meetings as well as outdoor seating.

Plans also include ‘light touch’ alterations to the building, an extension including a new mezzanine floor level and bench-style seating inside.
In their planning application, Axis Architecture, on behalf of Revolution Bars Group, who run a similar venue in Swansea, said: “It focuses on the model of other food halls like Kommune but on a smaller scale to create an all-day social dining experience including collaboration with local businesses to create an enterprise hub with ancillary retail and business workspace.”

The company said the site now suffered from littering, loitering and anti-social behaviour, and bringing it back into use could put an end to this.
For updates, keep checking back with exposed in the coming months.
