The popular independent restaurant has sadly closed its doors for the final time

Yesterday evening (22 September) Another Hand - the popular, quaint modern British restaurant tucked away on Deansgate Mews - took to social media to announce that, after five years, it would be closing with immediate effect. 

Explaining the reason for the closure, owners Julian Pizer and Max Yorke wrote: ‘Unfortunately, as most of us know, the current economic climate for the hospitality sector is facing steep challenges, sadly a familiar story. And after five years of operating within this increasingly challenging environment, we feel it’s time for us to step away.

This isn’t a decision we’ve taken lightly, but it feels like the right time to bring this chapter to an end.’

The heartfelt post concluded by thanking the team, suppliers, producers and customers that have supported them along the way. See the full post below.
