I was recently invited to try out the menu at Pier Eight restaurant, situated at the Lowry Theatre overlooking the stunning setting of Salford Quays and Media City. This restaurant opened in November 2015 and serves British flavours and seasonal ingredients, perfect for a pre-theatre dinner or a special occasion. I wasn’t quite sure what to expect with it being located inside a theatre but I was highly impressed! The restaurant setting was relaxed and quiet, the seasonal menu had plenty of options for all diets and staff were all very attentive.

One of the best hotels in Manchester, The Lowry launched a three course set menu in the beautiful River Restaurant for just £15.95 during January and February! The Lowry Hotel is is located on the River Irwell, just a stones throw away from the vibrant Spinningfields. I tried out the February menu last weekend and I was very impressed by what I experienced. This is seriously good value for money and you have just a few weeks left before the offer ends so get booking! The food at the River Restaurant is excellent, if you have followed my blog for a while now you will have read about my first visit to the Lowry Hotel back in 2016.

Every month the Lowry Hotel in Manchester launch a chefs choice menu in the River Restaurant using all seasonal ingredients. Three courses all for £24.95 is excellent value considering the quality of the food and expertise. The last time I visited the Lowry was for afternoon tea which you can read about here. The Hotel located on the edge of Manchester on the banks of the River Irwell and is the perfect place to visit for fine dining in a relaxed environment. The July chef’s choice dinner menu was varied with enough choice for both meat eaters and vegetarians. We began our culinary journey with the delicious bread selection and olive tapenade whilst deciding what to order. 

When I got the chance to try out the new afternoon tea menu at the exclusive Lowry Hotel I was supper excited as I have a real sweet tooth and love this place! The hotel is situated on the edge of Manchester on the banks of the River Irwell. The ambience in the hotel is so relaxing and feels such a treat when visiting, you can really switch off from the outside world. I am quite the traditional type when it comes to drinking tea, but I decided to venture out and try the rosebud tea from the wide selection of teas on the menu. I was however pleasantly surprised by both the taste and the smell…fragrant and sweet at the same time. The food arrived on a three tier platter which included freshly made sandwiches, cakes, scones & pastries.
