Newcastle's new shipping container venue Frate is set to open in time for the May Bank Holiday weekend and now bosses behind the project have revealed the range of food that will be on offer.
The open-air destination will be located behind Grey Street, just off High Bridge, and will feature a number of street food vendors along with live music and entertainment when it launches on Friday, May 26.
The founders of Market Shaker, Pumphreys and The Dog & Parrot are behind the new complex and have promised drinkers that its range of street food, drinks, and music will "celebrate independent local talent."

Drinkers can expect to tuck into kebabs and mezze and pizza from independent vendors BABS Newcastle and Slice Boys who will be trading from the venue.
BABS Newcastle will serve grilled chicken, lamb, and halloumi kebabs, grilled over open flames and served in toasted tortilla wraps or on top of a salad. For those seeking extra indulgence, sides include posh fries, hot wings, and their special grilled halloumi.
Meanwhile, Slice Boys will be offering pizza by the slice as well as full 16-inch pizzas.
And drinkers can enjoy DJ sets, live music, and big screens showing live sports including football, rugby, and Wimbledon while they tuck in. Over the summer a number of events have also been planned, including outdoor cinema nights, record fairs, and vintage clothing markets.
Frate will be fully heated and bosses have confirmed it will be open every day until 2am.
Co-Curator of Frate, Rob Clarkson said: "We are thrilled to finally unveil Frate Newcastle next week and share this extraordinary concept with the people of the North East. We have worked tirelessly to create a space where people can come together, indulge, socialise, and immerse themselves in our great city.”
