The Lowry Hotel showcases a 15 course menu as part of the Manchester Food and Drink Festival
For one night only, the five-star Lowry Hotel is introducing a 15 course taster menu to honour its 15th anniversary.
The luxury hotel’s River Restaurant will unveil an exciting range of new dishes for the event, part of the popular and well established Manchester Food and Drink Festival, which starts on September 29th.
The festival is an 11 day celebration across Manchester which showcases everything excellent about food and drink in the city – from local producers to the region’s most exceptional chefs.
There is a huge programme of both indoor and outdoor events, and The Lowry Hotel is leading the way with an exciting and original menu that has been devised around the best local and seasonal produce.
The menu is creative and exciting, but the real beauty behind it is the provenance of the ingredients - The Lowry Hotel has sourced the very best of what the North has to offer.
Savoury courses include a blue cheese mousseline using cheese from Garstang, supplied by Gornalls which is one of Manchester’s oldest dairy suppliers. Venison tortellini also features, sourced by multi award winning butcher, John Mettrick’s of Glossop, with the meat itself originating from Macclesfield.
Gin cured salmon is another exciting dish on the menu, using farmed Scottish salmon from Loch Duart.
Sweet dishes range from a Valrhona (one of France’s most premium and luxurious chocolates) mousse to a more traditional peach melba.
This meal is part of their extensive 15th anniversary celebrations which also include a £5.25m refurbishment of its suites, and conference and spa facilities.
This transformation is a clear mark of confidence in Manchester as a leading business and visitor destination.
Adrian Ellis, General Manager at The Lowry Hotel, said: “These are exciting times for The Lowry Hotel and for the city itself.
The city is growing and transforming at a fast pace, and the Lowry Hotel is at the forefront.
We are thrilled to be participating in Manchester’s annual food and drink festival as we celebrate our 15th anniversary. There’s an incredible energy and buzz to the city at the moment and the food and drink sector plays a monumental role in this’.
