In a city that is both increasingly obsessed with restaurants and increasingly unable to sustain new openings, the food hall model is capturing the imagination of investors, operators, and diners alike.

Join Eater London editor Adam Coghlan and panellists Simon Anderson, co-founder of Market Halls, John Li, owner of Dumpling Shack, creator of KERB, Petra Barran and writer and academic Rebecca May Johnson at the centre of the boom to discuss why food halls are so appealing right now, the unique challenges they present for operators, and whether or not this apparently communal model is truly accessible for all.
