“It is very much a home from home for myself and with the growth in the food retail sector the city has seen in recent years it feels a really good match for Nourish.

“With such a wide variety of food outlets we feel our concept and approach will bring something different to the city.

“Our focus is also on public health and improving knowledge through education and engagement around food, nutrition and health.

“So we are looking forward to adding to the already knowledgeable local organisations helping people live healthier lives in Leeds. “

The firm is recruiting over 20 new staff from skilled head chefs to front of house staff.

Steve Henderson, retail director at Savills, comments: “Nourish has been very successful in Sheffield and will add a new dimension to Bond Street’s food offer. We are pleased to have secured this letting on behalf of our client.”
