Architects chosen for new Hendersons Relish pub design

Sheffield based architects, Hadfield Cawkwell Davidson, have been selected as the winning team to design the new Henderson’s Relish pub.

Plans to convert the old Henderson’s Relish factory into a pub were announced recently, and at a stones throw away from the IC, this new pub will be a great addition to campus for a quick session between lectures.

The university called for entries to design the new pub, and interest was shown by 17 local architecture firms. The strongest four firms were selected and invited to submit their ideas to renovate this Sheffield landmark.

Initial designs for the new pub

The snazzy initial designs incorporate the Steel City condiment’s brand, with bright orange details and iconic label. The designs plan to combine the old building with a modern twist. The transformation is part of the university’s exciting plan to refurbish the whole campus area. Hadfield Cawkwell Davidson are now working alongside the University team and Henderson’s Relish to prepare plans.

Keith Lilley, Director of Estates and Facilities Management at the University said: “We were really delighted with the high quality approach from all our finalists but the concept that Hadfield Cawkwell Davidson developed just really hit the spot with a great design to incorporate the original house into a stunning modern setting.

“We believe the pub will be a fantastic addition to opening up the spaces around the University to make it a more welcoming place for the people of Sheffield and we know that Hendersons’ many fans will enjoy the opportunity to spend time in the place that was home to Henderson’s for so long.”

Mrs Pamela Freeman, Managing Director of Henderson’s, said she and everyone else involved with the company were really excited to see the plans developing.

“Having the chance to be part of this project and see the building that was such an important part of our company’s history preserved and brought into public use is fantastic. We love the ideas that the architects have developed and can’t wait to see the new building take shape.”
