University serves up new food market

27 Sep 2018

The University has launched a new market featuring local street food vendors in University Place

The much-anticipated project from the hospitality and events team at the University, with local company Eats Agency handling social marketing, opened its doors this week.

Led by Liam Bergin, the team have been working hard to renovate a former eatery on campus to provide a year round food market of independent food producers. But there’s no launch planned, instead Bergin insists the launch will be about "honest food, served by passionate local producers offering our staff, students and visitors alike delicious, fresh food that’s good for the soul."

On the ground floor of University Place, The Market will be akin to already popular market eateries such as Mackie Mayor and Altrincham Market, with a central communal seating area surrounded by a selection of artisan food and drink outlets.

Jake Ansbro, Co-Founder of Eats Agency said "Working with the University on this project is really exciting. It's a great opportunity for local food brands to connect with staff and students."

Big names such as Brewski and Yard and Coop are amongst the initial line up, with what promises to be a fantastic addition to the food and drink offering on campus.

Pop along to University Place to give The Market a try, open from 8am until 3pm.
