Blend Culinary Foundation (BCF) is an independent not-for-profit CIC established by the founders and directors of Blend Family, Nina and Matt. Blend Family is the curator of authentic and vibrant food halls and as the curators behind Kargo MKT in Salford, Cambridge Street Collective and Cutlery Works in Sheffield and the (coming soon) Tower Bridge Collective in London, their vision is to unite communities through food, culture and shared experiences. 

The collaborative partnership between Blend Family and Blend Culinary Foundation has provided Matt and Nina with the opportunity to extend their shared vision into the realms of community, education and engagement.  Whilst both entities operate separately, they collaborate closely to create spaces that inspire, educate and celebrate food in all its forms.

Where Blend Family brings operational and commercial innovation to food halls, the Foundation channels those exact same values into its mission of alleviating food poverty, enhancing food education and uniting communities through food. 

Born in the North, Blend Family has grown out of a passion for supporting and nurturing independent chefs and food entrepreneurs and changed the food hall landscape with the launch of it’s first venture, Cutlery Works in 2018.

Providing a platform for talented and innovative chefs to bring authentic street food from across the globe to the diverse communities of the UK, Blend Family create vibrant, diverse community spaces that allow guests to take a journey around the globe one dish at a time.

Welcoming families (including the dogs!), we create spaces that are lively, welcoming and simply overflowing with fun and vibrancy…and delicious food.
