DAN Doherty, the executive chef behind London's hottest (and highest) 24 hour restaurant, Duck and Waffle, will be bringing his playful gourmet style to Manchester this October, hosting a special one-off banquet at this year's Manchester Food and Drink Festival.
The MFDF Hidden Banquets series will allow festival-goers to explore some of the city’s most historic, seldom seen spaces
The feast for 175 people, designed around the theme of 'industry', is set to celebrate one of most integral aspect of Manchester’s heritage and will be held at the historic Bonded Warehouse at Old Granada Studios - a former Victorian goods warehouse turned TV studio and high-end mixed-use development.
Writer, Blue Badge Guide and Confidential Editor-at-Large, Jonathan Schofield, will set the historical scene throughout dinner by bringing the building’s past to life, whilst Doherty - recently voted amongst London's 1000 most influential people - mans the pans.
Tickets for the banquet are priced at £75, with all profits going towards Action Against Hunger, a charity which aids malnourished children in countries such as Ethiopia, South Sudan, Nigeria, Nepal and Somalia.
Doherty said: “Action Against Hunger is an obvious charity for me. As chefs we spend so much time refining food, it makes sense to make sure those that don't have any, get some.
The MFDF Hidden Banquets series, in partnership with Allied London, will allow festival-goers to explore some of the city’s most historic, seldom seen spaces, such as London Road Fire Station where Manchester House chef Aiden Byrne will host the first event on 30 September (tickets still available for £125 - pfft no wonder.)
‘Industry’ by Dan Doherty, Saturday 8 October, Bonded Warehouse. Tickets are £75 and are available via this link.
The 'Industry' banquet will take place in the Bonded Warehouse on Saturday 8 October
