A new food hall planned for Durham city centre is expected to showcase the best street food in region.
Located within The Riverwalk, it will host a vibrant mix of street food and drinks brands in kiosks and mobile units, all situated around communal seating and smaller tables.
Increasingly popular in cities across the country, the food hall will be next to the Odeon cinema and will allow visitors to sample a wide range of food and flavours in one sitting.
Clearbell Property Partners, a fund managed by Clearbell Capital, is behind the proposal and is looking for the hottest up-and-coming local food and drink brands to bring together under one roof.
The firm says the list of operators will be carefully curated so the operations complement each other, and each brand has a real chance to show off its individual appeal.
Nick Berry, partner at Clearbell Capital, said: “The street food scene in the North East is really exciting, and we want to capture some of that spirit in The Riverwalk.
"Our new food hall concept will create a platform to bring unique food operators right to the heart of The Riverwalk, and with the cinema, bowling lanes and a great range of new restaurant brands, we’re establishing a real point of difference for Durham.”
The Riverwalk is a £30m project that includes restaurants, shops and student accommodation.
Old Toms Gin bar, Thai River, boutique bowling alley and Lane7 are all part of the scheme.
The Odeon Cinema is expected to open this year, and Durham Distillery is transforming the loading bay below the Riverwalk Shopping Centre into a new production area.
