Wood Restaurant

The concept of Wood in Manchester is unintimidating high-end dining. The restaurant leans heavily into spectacle and new experiences: enjoy the open kitchen with à la carte, theatre and tasting menus. The founder of Wood is a former Data Manager, Simon, who started cooking when he could ‘reach the top of an oven’. Thirty years later, Simon’s MasterChef win saw him fulfilling a dream he has had since he was young. Since winning MasterChef, Simon has worked with Marcus Wareing, Theo Randal and Simon Rimmer before opening his own restaurant.

Dining

The dining scene in Manchester is more interesting and varied by the day. All manner of new restaurants, gastropubs and bars keep popping up around the city, which now ranks among the country's best and most diverse culinary destinations. A local speciality is the Manchester Egg, the city's take on the Scotch egg, which is wrapped in black pudding and sausage, then breaded and deep-fried, and should not be missed.
