Boxhall has issued an update on the future of the new Bristol venue after the site's developers hit further delays. A representative of the food hall, which was set to open this summer, confirmed that work has paused on site due to the landlord's contractors entering liquidation.
The concept stems from the successful London food hall, BOXPARK, and its first venue outside of London will hope to represent the city's diverse food and drink scene, aided by Bristol restauranteur Josh Eggleton. It's unfortunately not the first time the new Welsh Back venue has seen setbacks beyond its control, having already seen delays caused by the pandemic.
A spokesperson for Boxhall said: “We are incredibly disappointed to hear work has paused on site due to the landlord’s contractors entering liquidation. Over the last couple of months, we’ve been ramping up our plans, and collaborating with some of Bristol’s finest to prepare for a late summer opening.
