I tweeted about the issue of too many food halls a few weeks back and have been researching numbers and stats since to produce a report. Every new announcement is a new food hall, each new one will cannabilisle the last and many replicate the same traders meaning no local distinction. Might take me a while to get to the bottom of food hall ratios per capita (and best most sustainable practice) as the last OS report doesn't seem to list them as a seperate entity and there's grey areas like food hall adjacent businesses or meanwhile ones that might evade classification. But common sense certainly dictates that they're appearing faster than the city is growing
There are plenty of food retail outlets in the immediate vicinity, but precious little park. Why does the council persist in its efforts to ruin Piccadilly gardens?
I'm tired of hearing hospitality venues moan about staff shortages. Probably a Brexit issue for sure but they knew it was coming. How about freight island becomes a school of excellence for staff training. Market hospitality as a destination career, go to schools, run taster programs, sponsor events/competitions. How do you expect this situation to change if you don't drive the change?
I got made redundant during the pandemic and was introduced to dan morris to discuss a possible position at ETFI. He phoned me when he was on a train with no signal, fucked it off, messed me around a bit then never contacted me again. Having read the reaction and opinion of him on Reddit I feel like I’ve dodged a huge bullet. Still though, very rude.

If MCR is at peak hospitality can I suggest the city does the right thing an kill off the horrendous Piccadilly gardens food market?
Piccadilly food market serves a lot of the workers / residents and visitors in that area well. We use it weekly.

It’s on the pavement
