The boss of new Bristol food hall and music venue BoxHall says he wants it to be a place that showcases the city’s new rising talent. The Welsh Back venue was due to open this autumn but it has been delayed until 2023 although founder Roger Wade says he’s already looking for chefs, food businesses and DJs to occupy the site.
Roger is the CEO of BoxPark, the groundbreaking London retail and dining concept with sites at Shoreditch, Croydon and Wembley. Based in converted shipping containers, the original BoxPark was an influence on Bristol’s Cargo area at Wapping Wharf but its founder decided to do something quite different for his first venture outside London.
A modern waterfront food hall with food, drink and music events under one roof, BoxHall will showcase the best in local talent. Whether it’s young chefs looking to open their first site or rising stars from the DJ scene, the venue in converted dockside sheds hopes to become a new creative hub for Bristol.
