What’s the vibe?
Kind of like your hippy mates have created a commune in a warehouse space and invited you round for tea – except they happen to be Michelin-level chefs.
What are the prices like?
At the top end of the price bracket but still lower than many other dining experiences of this magnitude. A seasonal tasting menu with matched wine flight (natural ofc) wil set you back around £200 per person.
What should I order?
Think you’re getting a choice do you? In keeping with the ‘going to a friend’s for tea’ vibe, you’ll get what you’re given – although there is some wiggle room for dietary requirements.
Expect a curious procession of dishes made from veg grown in the restaurant’s nearby allotment (on top of Ann Summers in the precinct) and various bits of whatever locally reared whole animal is in the kitchen that week – oh, and of course ferments and preserves feature in a big way too. The surprise element is all part of the fun.
What’s worth visiting nearby?
WTLGI’s home town of Stockport is so oh-so-hot right now. The team operates Yellowhammer bakery nearby and you must grab a Colombian breakfast at Cafe San Juan if you’re staying over. There are also great record shops, vintage markets and a legendary Foodie Friday knees up complete with dancing in the streets.
