Edinburgh Street Food team to launch in Manchester

The team behind the popular Edinburgh Street Food (ESF) business it set to launch in Manchester this summer.

Manchester Street Food will be 15,000 sq ft space with 450 internal covers and include a 32- seater mini-cinema, tequila bar, game rooms, beer tap wall, two stages, a 75-cover private hire space and a winter garden with breakfast service.

The south facing terrace will accommodate a further 180-covers and be home to guest street food traders.

The move forms part of ESF's strategic growth plan, with the organisation looking to expand across the UK with the opening of a new venue every year for the next five years.

"Manchester has always been a city with incredible energy, creativity and a love of food, so bringing our concept here in this stunning venue is a natural and exciting next step," says Ben MacMillan, managing director of ESF. "We want to create a space brought to life by local artists which celebrates the city’s culture and provides line up independent traders and brewers a city centre platform to shine."

The Scottish original

ESF's contribution to the Scottish capital’s food experiences has seen over a million transactions per year since launching in 2003.

The venue has a diverse events programme with a table service model. 

Ediburgh offers a range of cuisines, including Mexican, Korean, Peruvian, Japanese and South Asian dishes. 

"We’ve seen how much people embraced the spirit of ESF in Edinburgh and we know Manchester, with its energy and hunger for innovation will take it to another level. We’re incredibly excited about making the city our second home," adds MacMillan.
