Humber Street Gallery Cafe and Bar Operator

Descriptions

Humber Street and the Fruit Market is developing into a thriving area for bars and cafes with a significant number of diverse operations. There is a burgeoning food and drink culture emerging in the area, which is in turn generating further destination footfall. The performance of what was envisioned as a temporary operation has led Hull 2017 to extend the operation of HSG for a further three-year period with a view to it becoming a permanent, and prominent, cultural venue in Hull. The café and bar occupy the front part of the ground floor gallery and there is also a rooftop bar which is open seasonally and is weather dependent. The food and beverage operation is intrinsic to the on-going success of HSG, as the primary means of generating revenue to both support the gallery operation and drive non-traditional gallery audiences to the venue. Core to our requirements is the ability to maximise potential food and beverage sales and profits for both ourselves and the appointed operator and it is proposed that the contract with the appointed operator will be for an initial three year period renewable thereafter on an annual basis.
