A huge new food hall, brewery, night market, urban garden and beer hall is being planned for Piccadilly, from the people behind the likes of Ramona, The Firehouse, Gorilla and Trof.
The 200,000 sq ft plot is on the site of the former Presbar Diecast foundry on Store Street, which dates back to 1870 and backs on to Ducie Street, just spitting distance from both the Northern Quarter and Ancoats.
As well as a ‘large food and beer hall’, the proposals also feature a bakery, coffee bar, barbers, nail salon, startup offices for small tech and creative businesses, workshops, studios, meeting spaces, record store, neighbourhood gym, stores for small traders, a cycle park and workshop.
