The Batch House

The Batch House welcomes three new food outlets

Three new food outlets are now open at The Batch House, refreshing the range of dining options on offer to customers.

The Batch House is an artisan food & drink hall, which opened at The Glass Yard on Sheffield Road, Chesterfield in 2022.

Visitors will now have the chance to indulge in Indian street food and Greek Cuisine, alongside a new Bakery offer at the venue.

Bringing a taste of India to The Batch House is Ruby & Chaat, a traditional Indian street food outlet. The menu includes biryani, loaded masala fries and samosas.

Khalid Wani, owner of Ruby & Chaat said: “We’ve been looking at this place for quite some time, so we’re really happy to be here and it has been a good response in the first week.

“I come from Sheffield, where we have a few good food courts, and I think this one in Chesterfield can be equally as good as those, if not better.

“In India, wherever you go there is street food. We import our spices from India so our customers are getting the highest quality, and we feel that makes a big difference. We also deliver via online platforms such as Just Eat, Uber Eats and Deliveroo.”

Taking up another stall at the food hall is Greek Gods’ Cuisine, serving up classics such as gyros, souvlaki, halloumi and more. Customers can eat in at the Batch House and can also order via Deliveroo.

Efi Vasilaki and Spyros Cheilakis have set up the unit, and are excited by the opportunity. Efi commented: “It’s an exciting time, and we are looking forward to all the opportunities and challenges that come with it. Starting a new restaurant requires a lot of hard work and dedication, but it can also be incredibly rewarding. 

“The Batch House is a food hall that has been attracting high footfall due to its impressive line-up of vendors and is gaining popularity due to its ability to offer a wide variety of food options under one roof. We are very into these concepts, and we feel very lucky to be part of this amazing team.”

“We are thrilled to have the opportunity to serve the people of Chesterfield authentic Greek Food, and hope that everyone will  enjoy their experience with us. We have worked hard to create a welcoming environment and a menu that features a variety of delicious options to suit your tastes.”

Bakery at the Batch has also opened at the venue, taking over from the previous trader, 4 Eyes Bakery.

Dani Key, who has taken over the running of the bakery commented: “I am very very excited to open the bakery as in the short space we’ve been open, three weeks, it’s done really well. This is just based off of listening to what our customers want and giving it to them.

“The whole place has seen a huge change since Christmas with the new vendors opening so I’m also excited to see what the batch house can achieve as a whole.

“When you come to us at bakery at the batch, expect friendly faces, a lovely warm space and nice fresh hearty food made with love. We’re genuine people who love our jobs and we will always go out of our way to make anyone’s visit a great one.”

Excitement builds as food & drink businesses move into The Batch House at Chesterfield’s Glassyard development

Excitement is building ahead of the opening of an all-new food and drink hotspot in Chesterfield.

The Batch house is set to open in The Glassyard on Sheffield Road at the beginning of March, with several new food and drink experiences on offer for visitors to try.

Destination Chesterfield recently paid a visit to the development as the finishing touches were being made to the food stalls ahead of next week’s grand opening.

The Batch House features a new pub/bar, ‘The Hop Lamp,’ serving a range of beverages, specialising in craft beer.

Darren Filsell and Ben Stephenson will be running The Hop Lamp. Ben said: “It’s all very new to us, hopefully it’s going to be very busy down here and with that comes a lot of excitement and anticipation.”

Darren commented: “It’s Craft beer that people will recognise, and we’ve got the keg wall for something a little more unusual. It’s going to be a good offering to compliment all the other independent food vendors.”

A gelato stall will also be open to the public, Giuseppes, serving more than 30 different flavours. Craig Paterson, who is opening the stall said: “We do all your typical flavours, but we do quite exciting ones like Biscoff and Percy Pig. We’ve been producing ice cream since 1926.

Craig explained why he chose to expand into the new development: “We really like the concept of it and have seen it done in a few other locations. It’s a good thing for Chesterfield and it’s exciting to be part of it.”

There will also be an artisan bakery, known as 4 eyes bakery providing some delicious breads and sweet patisserie treats. The stall will also be serving up artisan pizza during lunch and evenings, which will be available to eat in and take away.

Matthew Rhodes and Stuart Griffin are getting ready to open the business, Stuart said: “We just saw it as a great opportunity. There’s nothing like this in the area, and we have this purpose-built unit with everything in.

Matthew said: “We’re really excited. There’s all sorts of products that we’re going to be bringing to Chesterfield; coffee, cakes croissants that people are going to be able to buy on the day.”

John Tompkins, owner of The Devonshire Arms pub in Middle Handley  is opening six units in the new food hall, including ‘The Bubba Bar’ which will comprise of tapas dishes and small plates from around the world.

He is also opening stalls serving street food from India and Portugal, loaded hot dogs, along with a wine and prosecco bar, which will sit directly at the side of a deli serving cheeses and cured meats from across the globe.

John explained why taking up so much new business space in the Batch House was an easy decision: “I’ve seen other concepts that haven’t got a patch on this, I think this is Premier League.

“The landlord has got it right, and I’m one hundred and ten percent confident that we’re going to take it by storm. I think it’s going to be a tremendous success.”

The Batch House is only one part of The Glassyard development, which will also see a Hair and Beauty Salon, a bathroom showroom, 4D baby scanning services and a tattoo parlour open on site.
