THE team behind Damson restaurant in MediaCity and the Red Lion in Stockport, is opening a second MediaCityUK site at the end of October 2013. This will be located across from the present Damson's, in the building immediately to the west.
Food will be adapted for the more rustic setting of their new pub operation with a menu featuring a spit roast free range chicken, handmade pies and handmade burgers.
Steve Pilling and Simon Stanley opened Damson in MediaCity in 2013 and have now set their sights on providing the site’s first pub operation.
Stephen Wild, managing director at MediaCityUK said: “MediaCityUK is a rapidly evolving destination and it is great to have Steve and his team involved in our growth. Damson has built an excellent reputation amongst our community and those visiting from further afield and we are certain that his latest venture will prove to be a hit with those frequenting it”.
The Dock Yard will lead with the drinks offering, serving an array of keg and cask ales, pales ales, beers and ciders, as well as a wine list curated by wine expert Steve Pilling himself in an informal setting. Fine wine will be served in carafes, as well as by the bottle from their award-winning cellar.
Food will be adapted for the more rustic setting of their new pub operation with a menu featuring a spit roast free range chicken, handmade pies and handmade burgers by Mark Stanley - the company’s full-time butcher. The site will be open for breakfast too, serving fresh juices and artisan breads in the morning.
Steve Pilling said: “We’re delighted to be expanding here at MediaCityUK - it’s been a fantastic new home for us, and we look forward to bringing something completely different to the offer here.”
The address will be Dock Yard Building, MediaCity, Salford. M50 2HQ.
