WHILE the waterside setting is a big draw for The Lowry's Pier Eight, it's the food that steals the limelight once you're there. The head chef is Oliver Thomas, who led the kitchen team at the other Lowry (the hotel) before taking up his role here. And he knows how to impress, focusing on good quality ingredients that shine in their own right.
His modern British menu has an emphasis on local, seasonal produce, with dishes such as lamb rump with warm pea salad, and cod with brown shrimps, creamed potatoes, sprouting broccoli, and chive butter sauce.
Each dish is beautifully presented, giving a real sense of occasion to your dinner. And if you win this competition, you'll really feel special – the prize is a Chef's Table dinner with wines especially chosen to complement each course. A fantastic evening awaits one lucky winner.
