ALDERLEY Edge is in for a Christmas treat, and it has nothing to do with 4x4 Porsche Cayennes, smiley Celine bags or snorty, snotty little pugs.
"We had been talking with Chef Gale for some time and when we were asked to launch a pop-up restaurant in one of our favourite suburbs, it seemed the perfect fit"
Mughli, one of Curry Mile's few non-bobbins Indian restaurants, is teaming up with David Gale, former Hilton Deansgate Chef and Lawn Club's recent Executive Chef, on a Christmas pop-up restaurant for Alderley Edge.

The Railway Cafe - located close by the Alderley Edge train station on Heyes Lane - will open for ten weeks from the first week in December offering Indian small plates.
The station pop-up will also feature a gin bar headed up by Fever Tree Tonics bartender, Craig Harper, and Manchester bartender Jamie Jones, who scooped the 'World's Best Gin Bartender' at a competition in France last year.

The Railway Cafe is the latest business venture from the four Mughli brothers who also run Curry Mile's Mughli, Knutford's Mughli, Damson & Co. coffee shop in London's Soho, and have just started work on a new brasserie to open in Battersea next year.
Mughli bros Sax and Haz Arshad said (in perfect unison):
"We had been talking with Chef Gale for some time and when we were asked to launch a pop-up restaurant in one of our favourite suburbs, it seemed the perfect fit for the exciting, collaborative style of menu we were looking to introduce to the North West."
