Tower Street, Ipswich

Tower Street Food Hall brings a bold new energy to the centre of Ipswich. Located in the former Yates Wine Bar, this ambitious transformation will deliver a vibrant, independent-led food hall, a welcoming social space at the heart of the town’s cultural and culinary revival.

The concept will feature up to six kitchens, a central bar, flexible event space, and all-day programming to support local creatives, community groups, and emerging talent. With a focus on inclusivity, quality, and affordability, Tower Street will provide a platform for the region’s most exciting food entrepreneurs, offering a unique experience for residents, workers, students, and visitors alike.

Next Phase was engaged at an early stage to help shape the commercial model, operator strategy, and activation plan. To help ensure Tower Street Food Hall is not only viable but also vital, a true catalyst for the wider regeneration of Ipswich town centre.
