THE official opening date of Mr Cooper’s House & Garden, Simon Rogan’s second restaurant at The Midland Hotel in Manchester, has been announced as Thursday 12 September 2013.

Mr Cooper’s House & Garden will include a garden room, made with natural materials, which offers an all-year-round round summer feel with its cascading wall of plants, 30ft tree and gazebo 

Here's the press release:

'Combining modern touches with the history and heritage of Mr Cooper himself, whose house and famous gardens sat on the site back in 1819, Mr Cooper’s House & Garden is set to offer a multitude of different dining settings under one roof. 

'A 150-seat restaurant serving lunch and dinner, Mr Cooper’s House & Garden will include a garden room, made with natural materials, which offers an all-year-round round summer feel with its cascading wall of plants, 30ft tree and gazebo.  This imaginative space brings the outside in, with a creative design and decor which adds to the tranquil personality that is evident throughout the restaurant.

'In addition, a 50-cover destination bar, comprising an opulent library with curved seating and booth areas, plus a luxurious semi-private study with leather booths and low level lighting, will offer the ideal venue for all different types of diners, from couples to an evening catching up with colleagues or friends.'
