    Harrogate's first food hall will open its doors next week to serve up a range of cuisines under one roof.

    Solita FoodHall Harrogate, on Parliament Street, has had its rooftop terrace open over the last month with a reduced menu.

    Now it is ready to invite people indoors as restrictions ease. The food hall is set in a huge building over two floors. There is room for 80 covers inside with social distancing.



    But it will open fully next Monday with Rupert's Coffee House, Rotisserie & Grill, Solita Wagyu Burger, Slice Me Nicely Pizza, Cure & Pour Wines and Solita Fish Bar.

    As well as the six original stalls, all under the Shoot The Bull brand, Solita has welcomed other businesses on board and is in talks with even more.

    Huddersfield-based Kwas, which is promised to be another first for Harrogate as a natural wine shop, will open next week. It will stock more than 100 vegan, organic and eco-friendly wines.

    An eco-farmer from Sheffield is also opening up a stall on the ground floor. Leaf and Shoot will sell house plants, flowers and pottery.



    Shoot The Bull already has restaurants in Manchester, Hull, York, Beverley and Sheffield. The Harrogate branch has created around 30 jobs.

    Chris Harrison, CEO of Shoot The Bull, told the Stray Ferret:

    "I am so passionate about food and the whole team has so many different ideas. So I think when we saw this venue we saw it as a place to unleash all of those ideas under one roof.
    "Our food hall is just a food experience, more of an emporium. We want people to come here as a family or with friends and everyone be able to get the food they want.
    "It's completely different and this is something Harrogate has not got. It's a lovely, busy town. There are a lot of big players here so we think we will fit in here."
