Upmarket sandwich chain's website lists site on Cambridge Street

Pret a Manger could be returning to Sheffield - next to the city’s giant new food hall.

The upmarket sandwich chain’s website shows premises at 35 Cambridge Street in the  city centre. It also states it is ‘open now’.

The listing raises questions about if or when it might open. Pret a Manger had an outlet on Fargate - its first in Sheffield - for a couple of years. But it closed during the pandemic. It has since been taken over by Burger King.

The Cambridge Street Coillective food hall opened last month to rapturous reviews and a stampede of customers. Featuring 20 independent kitchens, it is hoped it will spearhead the rejuvenation of Sheffield city centre as part of the councils £470m Heart of the City II scheme.

The Star contacted Pret a Manger for comment.
