Would be nice if they could preserve and find space for the Bob Carvers signage and fryers in the Streetlife museum.

Trinity Market will soon welcome a new addition with a vibrant new eatery agreeing a long-term lease with Hull City Council.

Maytree Catering proposes a £150,000 refurbishment of Corporation Chambers, formerly Bob Carver’s fish and chip takeaway and restaurant, a council-owned freehold on Trinity House Lane.

In addition to a ground-floor food offering, plans feature a first-floor restaurant and office accommodation on the second and third floors.

The development will help support Hull Old Town’s independent hospitality economy and is expected to create up to 15 new jobs, as well as apprenticeships.

Maytree Catering was selected after the property was put on the open market for refurbishment and interested parties were assessed in consultation with the local planning authority.

The council will continue to work closely with Maytree Catering to ensure all designs for the project will preserve the architectural integrity of the listed building, as well as longer-term development.

The building has been unoccupied since May 2021 when Bob Carver’s closed, with the upper floors remaining vacant for several years having formerly being used for council file storage.

Maytree Catering’s plans would see over 450sqm on unused commercial space converted into a vibrant hospitality and office venue.

Cllr Jackie Dad, deputy leader of the council, said: “This new establishment will complement the existing food and beverage operators in the area around Trinity Market and provide a welcome boost to the hospitality sector operating across the Old Town.

“There was considerable interest in the unit, but the council is pleased to have agreed a long-term lease with the right partner whilst also helping to create new city centre jobs.

“Trinity Market and the surrounding area is already a place residents and visitors enjoy spending time and socialising and I have no doubt that Maytree Catering’s offering will only improve that.”
