News: More food outlets planning to open in Rotherham
New restaurants and takeaways are planning to open in Rotherham town centre as the new Forge Island development appears to be having an affect already.
The potential new outlets come at the same time as the council confirmed that a number of brands signed up to open on Forge Island are no longer coming.
Forge Island is the town centre's new landmark leisure destination being delivered by the council in partnership with Muse. The £47m development is anchored by an 8-screen boutique cinema operated by The Arc Cinema and a 69-roomed Travelodge Hotel.
On nearby Main Street, in the £10m Westgate Chambers development, Cali's, a specialist in fried chicken and milkshakes, has recently secured planning permission for new signage at number 18.
Just like near neighbours, Munchies, which recently opened in Rotherham, Cali's is based in Sheffield and offers chicken burgers, wraps, wings, tenders and loaded fries. Milkshakes, churros and ice cream round off the menu.
A planning report explains that "the property is a ground floor unit that is currently / last used as a hot food takeaway and is changing to another hot food takeaway and the advert is for the new company taking over the premises." Current signs on the unit are for Pure Punjabi and it was previously Planet Pizza and Burgers.

And another food operator is planning to open at 6 Main Street on the same parade.
A planning application has been submitted that would enable Dessert Time to operate in the town centre.
The plans are for a change the use from nightclub to eat in and takeout desserts, with opening hours extending to 2am.
Like Munchies and Cali's, Dessert Time already operates in Sheffield with a menu featuring a variety of sweet treats including deconstructed cheesecakes, croffles, and an array of cookie dough options.
Across town, plans are also coming forward to turn an empty pub into a restaurant.
Back in 2011 plans were approved to convert the rear of the vacant Crinoline Bridge Inn on Rawmarsh Road into a café/sandwich shop with the main pub operating as a tile shop.
Now an application has been submitted for a change of use from a tile shop to a restaurant including the erection of a commercial unit with additional rear corridor access and the construction of first floor roof terrace.
The current unit has been open as the Pad Thai Cafe since last year.
Applicant, Phil Richardson, was advised by Rotherham Council that the introduction of residential use in this location would be "wholly unsuitable and likely to lead to poor amenity for future occupiers" so around 9,000 sq ft for commercial use is proposed.

Creating a town of fattys.
Everyone has a choice about what type of food to eat. They can't blame fast food outlets for making them fat.
Creating? It already is.
Totally agree, it’s a choice, it’s not forced on anyone.
Do you mean "fatties"?
Although some people look as though they have been force fed all their lives.
Why don't you open a lettuce bar?
Lettuce see how long that’d last.
Attempts at humour are frowned upon.
Obesity is a serious problem and is not as simple as people choosing to over eat. There are numerous medical, psychological and social issues that can be a factor. It's no different to alcoholism or drug addiction. Commenting on people's appearance or brandishing it as a choice shows a lack of understanding and is unhelpful.
Well said Dr C.
What a load of rubbish.
How society has changed. When I was at school many years ago it was very unusual to see an overweight person?
Climbing up and down all those chimneys I expect.
Immediate access to junk food and the explosion of advertising surely plays a part though.
Behave Jez
It's no coincidence that Santa got stuck up the chimney
Is junk food brought over from China by boat?
Agreed. The number of people with actual eating disorders is so small. The vast amount of people who are overweight is down to their lifestyle, me being one of them!
A town full of tuck-in merchants
Don’t worry. You can’t park in town centre due to fees, but delivery push bikes will take over. Running you down as you leave cinema, and make you wait 50 mins extra for your order so you miss your film due to prioritising deliveroo collections rather than people whom got off their….. to explore forge island and invest, next announcement from rotherham council forge island closing down due to lack of footfall. 🙈
It makes a change to see a well argued point made in a humerous way
Unfortunately this isn't it
We need more takeaways to feed the oxygen stealers on the next inevitable EDL riot.
They just need taking away.
The EDL no longer exists
Can't fault Starmer with the decisive way he has responded to the mindless far right thuggery.
Now that is a funny post!
Conservatively speaking.
Sunak would still be on his holidays
Not a problem. He would have left Liz Truss in charge. She would have sorted things from her bed in the mental ward.
Liz Truss was one of the finest Conservative Prime Ministers this country has ever seen.
And in her honesty, integrity and truthfulness was bettered only by Boris Johnson, a prince among men.
Their combined IQs would scrape through the 11 plus.
Doubt it. They only just scraped through the Tory Minister entrance exam and a chimp got through that.
very appropriate as they are all cheetahs.
Apart from Michael Tarzan Heseltine of course.
