Trinity Leeds Leads the Food Revolution with Trinity Kitchen

Many of us take retail shopping very seriously and often get so carried away we can forget to eat or can’t spare the time looking for a place to eat. Well today (Thurs 17 October) Trinity Leeds, the latest venue for retail and entertainment, welcomed their hungry shoppers to its new take on eating out: Trinity Kitchen.

 A first for the UK and British Street Food, Trinity Kitchen is a unique food destination, which combines seven restaurants, cafes and bars with five of the UK’s best street food vans. From today, local Leeds based company The Marvellous Tea Dance (serving tea and cakes in a garden shed) joins award-winning hot dog trader, Big Apple Hotdogs, alongside traditional Italian three-wheel Piaggio van, Gurmetti, Indian snack stall Manjit’s Kitchen and the winners of this year’s British Street Food Awards, Katie & Kim’s Kitchen, serving Scottish recipes from the back of a converted horsebox.

They will spend four weeks serving their freshly made street food alongside seven permanent restaurants, cafes and bars, all of which are new to Leeds. For the majority of the new additions, it is also the first time they have served their food and drink outside of London.
The Trinity Kitchen space is a combination of warehouse and street alley styling and along with a diverse range of world cuisine, will be home to regular live entertainment and events, including jazz nights, cooking demos and wine and beer tastings.
 Trinity Kitchen also features a range of technology including an interactive digital screen showcasing food, music, games and a live Instagram wall (on which visitors can share their images by tagging pictures with #TrinityKitchen), in addition to a free iPad service for visitors to keep up to date with news and offers.  

Trinity Leeds 2013's largest UK retail Development

The city of Leeds is set to see a major retail and leisure development open its doors on 21 March 2013 which will bring leisure and lifestyle brands to the heart of the city and late night shopping all year round.

Named Trinity Leeds, the 1 million sq ft development is designed to be an extension of Leeds’ best known outdoor shopping streets all housed under a sweeping glass dome roof (which apparently could hold the weight of ten elephants)

Most technically advanced shopping destination in the UK with free wifi, assistants on hand with internet-connected iPads, and giant interactive video walls that offer fun and futuristic shopping and dining experiences via gesture recognition and touch-sensitivity. In addition, Trinity Leeds will create a mobile app and a link with Google which allows shoppers to search for items on sale in the centre.

Over 100 national and international brands – with the UK’s largest Superdry, Hollister, Mango, Fossil and Victoria’s Secret’s first store outside of London. Other flagship stores to the city will include Urban Outfitters and a three storey Primark.

Biggest Everyman Cinema in the UK. Unlike any other, Everyman offers cinema-goers a truly unique and memorable experience where you can sit and relax in comfy sofas with a glass of wine. As well as showing blockbusters, Everyman also offers Art House and classic films, special events and launches.

Casual dining will include the launch of ‘Trinity Kitchen’ opening in September 2013. ‘Trinity Kitchen’ will be curated by Richard Johnson, renowned UK food journalist and broadcaster, and the brains behind the emerging British Street Food movement and acclaimed British Street Food Awards.

Trinity Kitchen will host five pop-up food traders from across the UK – which change on a regular basis.
