Frequently Asked Questions
What is Blend Family?
Blend Family is a group of independent food halls, workspaces, and community venues across the UK, including Cutlery Works (Sheffield), Cambridge Street Collective (Sheffield), Alfred Works (Birmingham), Kargo MKT (Manchester), and Tower Bridge Collective. Each site is unique, but all share the same commitment to great food, local makers, and welcoming spaces.
Do you own the food partners?
No. All our kitchens and traders are independent businesses. We provide the space, support, and footfall and they bring the creativity, flavour, and personality.
Do your venues take bookings?
We are largely walk-in venues but some do take bookings for larger parties, private parties and other events. Each site has its own website with a book a space page.
Are your venues family‑friendly?
Yes. Our food halls offer highchairs, kids’ menus, and accessible seating. Our venues also run family events and workshops and have a sandpit and Kids Play Area. Check the individual venue page for details.
Do you allow dogs?
Our venues are dog‑friendly and well-behaved dogs are welcome everywhere. Please check the specific venue page for any restrictions.
Do you cater for dietary requirements?
Absolutely. Across our venues you’ll find vegan, vegetarian, gluten‑free, halal‑friendly and dairy‑free options. Because each kitchen is independent, menus vary, we recommend checking with the vendor directly when you visit.

Yes. From team socials and away days to full‑venue takeovers, several of our sites offer flexible event spaces. Visit the venue’s “Book a Space” page to enquire.
Where are your venues located?
