‘Foodie hub’ planned in shipping containers
A collection of shipping containers will soon be home to a unique group of food and drink outlets.
The food-focused retail hub will be made up of 10 recycled shipping container units and located in the new Wapping Wharf development, already revealed to be home to the second Small Street Espresso cafe.
Landscape works to this new pedestrian route between the new Gaol Ferry Steps and Museum Square are currently underway, with it due to open in the coming weeks.

The collection of shipping containers will be called Cargo and follows the arrival of the Boxworks office space transformed from shipping containers next to Temple Meads.
The units – each measuring 8ft by 20ft – will have glass frontages, with the ground-level units able to spill out onto a terrace.
Stuart Hatton, director at Umberslade, the developer behind Wapping Wharf, said: “The type of retailer we expect to see taking space at Cargo might be anything from a pop-up smoothie seller to a street food retailer – and everything in between – and we think this will be an excellent addition to the city’s vibrant food and drink scene.”
