Fodder has been named in a list of the top 20 food halls in the UK.

The list has been compiled by Speciality Food Magazine, which describes food halls as “foodie meccas” and in a “league of their own” when it comes to artisanal food and drink.

And Fodder, which recently reopened following a refurb, has been recognised for its pride in its Yorkshire produce.

Speaking about Fodder, Speciality Food Magazine writes:

“If you want to get a real sense of what Yorkshire’s broad food and drink scene has to offer (and it is broad, this is one of the biggest counties in Britain), then this is the place to go.

“Every fridge, shelf, freezer and counter is a celebration of this corner of the UK, and there’s a tangible sense of pride in this you can almost feel as you walk around.

“Even the walls are dedicated to Yorkshire makers, boasting artwork of suppliers Fodder has worked with for years.”

The magazine adds:

“What will you find here? The answer is everything.

“Brilliant Yorkshire charcuterie. Meat sourced 100% from Yorkshire on the butchery counter. Local cheeses. Homemade pies, salads, soups and sausage rolls. Yorkshire made biscuits, chocolates, honey, beers and spirits.

“A display of cinnamon whirls and croissants made nearby by Underground Bakery. Yorvale ice cream, made using the farm’s own milk from their small herd of Friesian cows.

“And you can really hammer the Yorkshire food message home by staying for a bite and a cuppa in the café.”

Fodder is the only food hall in Yorkshire included in the top list of 20.
