KERB to launch new Holborn street food market
Launching on 7 August and operating every Wednesday between 11.30am and 2.30pm, KERB Holborn will feature seven street food traders.
They include Caribbean concept Only Jerkin’, which has long been a mainstay at KERB’s biggest events around the UK; and Middle Eastern concept Fatè, a newcomer to the KERB portfolio and recent graduate of KERB’s inKERBator programme.
Billed as a one-of-a-kind programme built for early-stage food businesses, inKERBator comprises three weeks in the classroom at KERB HQ ahead of a six-week residency at a KERB market.
The programme forms part of KERB+, is free, and runs four cohorts a year. To date, there have been more than 100 successful graduates of the inKERBator.
To further expand its inKERBator in the future, KERB will reinvest its profits in the Holborn market into KERB+.
While initially only operating on Wednesdays, KERB plans to add an additional trading day to the market later this year.
It will operate alongside KERB’s other London markets at Cowcross Yards, Gipsy Hill, the Gherkin and Fleet Place. The group also operates Covent Garden food hall Seven Dials Market.
Earlier this year, KERB made its international debut with the launch of plant-forward food hall Saluhall in the US city of San Francisco, which it is operating in partnership with Ingka Centres, the real estate sister company to IKEA, and Nordic chef Claus Meyer.
A further two international openings in Copenhagen, Denmark, and Berlin, Germany, are expected to launch in the next year.
