The restaurant will unveil a refreshed dining concept rooted in British heritage

This Autumn, iconic Manchester restaurant Grand Pacific will unveil its new direction, taking on a refreshed dining concept rooted in British heritage and refined with modern sophistication. 

Steeped in history, Grand Pacific's listed Manchester building is set in the 19th Century Liberal Reform Club’s original dining room, where politicians, bankers, lawyers and professionals of all kinds once gathered. It also played host to a defining moment in British political history with Winston Churchill’s rousing election victory speech in 1906.

The restaurant will be reborn as a modern dining room, celebrating the rich tapestry of British gastronomy and presenting nostalgic and elevated classics whilst focusing on locally sourced ingredients.

Some new menu highlights include Confit Duck leg Bon Bons with black garlic and burnt blood orange aioli and a Trio of Jersey ‘Rockafella’ Oysters. 

Mains include whole roasted Cornish lemon sole with brown shrimp and samphire, grilled lobster thermidor and Lakeland lamb Provençal with roasted shoulder, lamb merguez and seasonal  vegetables. 

To finish, desserts such as the nostalgic Manchester Trifle with Vimto jelly or a flambéed Crêpe Suzette served tableside offer a suitably theatrical end to the experience. 

Guests can also look forward to an elevation of Grand Pacific’s signature high tea and a refined take on the traditional Sunday roast featuring dry-aged sirloin, corn-fed chicken, free-range porchetta and more.
