Camerons Brewery has struck a deal with Hull-based gourmet burger brand, KerbEdge to head up the kitchen at its latest Head of Steam venue opening in Hull this July.
The site of the former Purple Pig venue, located on Kings Street in the Trinity Quarter area of Hull, will become the 9th Head of Steam for the group.
KerbEdge was founded by Adam Bryson in 2014, when he purchased Cyril, KerbEdge’s first street food truck. Offering the best burgers this side of the Atlantic, Cyril, Ruby & now Gregory trucks have been found pitching up at markets, business parks, and celebration events, like weddings.
Chris Soley, Chief Executive at Camerons Brewery, said, “When we setup a new venue we are always looking to work with local brewers for the supply of their brands into our pubs. We feel it is vital to support the local brewers in the area so we have taken this strategy one stage further and we are now looking for local food operators to run the kitchens in our venues.”
“We started this concept out recently with Newcastle based group Longhorns BBQ Smokehouse and the partnership has been very successful. As we look to grow our Head of Steam brand nationwide we will look for local new start companies in the area to tender to run our kitchens.'
Soley added, “We were really impressed with the team from KerbEdge. They understood and were passionate about our business and more importantly their range of burgers were truly fantastic. We believe their food will complement the varied drink range on offer in the Head of Steam and we look forward to working with them.'
Adam Bryson said, “Being big fans of the Head of Steam pubs, we were delighted to hear they were opening in Hull. Once we knew they were looking for a partner to head up the kitchen, we wanted to be involved. Their range of fantastic beer is a great match for our hand crafted burgers. As an ambitious growing business, Head of Steam are an ideal partner for us.'
