- Tattu
Tattu came to Manchester in 2017, bringing Pan Asian Fusion food to the city?s business district: Spinningfields. It was designed by acclaimed London-based Executive Chef Andrew Lassetter, with each area of the restaurant having its own separate identity. The restaurant as a whole draws its inspiration from the beauty of body-art.
The innovative interior design has been brought to life through designer Edwin Pickett. Pickett has an impressive portfolio to offer, and this is not his first Spinningfields project: he is also behind other Manchester hotspots such as Australasia and Neighbourhood.
The Parlour at Tattu Restaurant is one of Manchester’s top private dining venues for corporate events. It accommodates up to 40 people for a fine-dining experience, or 80 for a party or canapé reception. The space is serviced by its own entrance, bar and restroom facilities.
The luxurious aesthetics and unique interior provide the perfect setting for exclusive events, functions and meetings.
- Menagerie
Menagerie promises an immersive dining experience, combining gastronomy with art and theatre to take your dining experience to the next level. The Restaurant mixes Pan-Asian flavours with South American comfort food, providing the perfect location for both creative client dinners and energetic networking parties.
The decor is certainly memorable. The walls are covered in ornate fixings and neon light installations, whilst the bar area has raised booths with plush banquette seating accompanied by a central booth with gold leather sofas housed in a giant ornamental bird cage.
Located on the edge of Spinningfields, the £1.5m development boasts a ‘happy hour chandelier’ where dancers hang overhead to pour Champagne for guests. Unifying high-end concepts, quirkiness and fun, Menagerie has been described as ‘Manhattan meets Disneyland’ by owner Karina Jadhav.
Karina is the former co-founder of Neighbourhood, but this is her first solo venture. The 7500 square foot celebrity hotspot is artfully carved up into separate areas using curtains, which can create private dining rooms or more intimate drinking booths as required.
- King Street Townhouse Hotel
King Street Townhouse, otherwise known as the ‘baby grand’ hotel, has a range of meeting and event spaces available for private hire.
Located within the upper King Street Conservation Area, the building is in impressive Italian renaissance style, designed by local architect Edward Salomons and originally built in 1872 for the Manchester Salford Trustees Bank. King Street Townhouse fuses the elegance of the historical building with contemporary class and style, making it a great city centre location for client events.
The hotel can accommodate up to 150 guests on the sixth floor South Terrace lounge, which offers panoramic views across Manchester. A selection of flexible spaces also make the ideal locations for city-centre meetings and conferences.
With 40 bedrooms, King Street Townhouse hotel also provides the perfect place for clients travelling into the city to stay. At the end of a busy day, guests can return for a light snack, a sophisticated cocktail or dinner in either the Mezzanine Lounge or the Sixth floor South Terrace before heading to bed.
- Alston Bar & Beef
Alston Bar & Beef is in Manchester’s Corn Exchange just a stone throws away from the busy shopping high streets and Arndale shopping centre.
The restaurant prides itself on serving some of the best steak the city has to offer. Their Tweed Valley beef comes from the top 1% of the Scottish sucker herd sourced on accredited farms in the Scottish Borders, each renowned for producing quality beef. Alston also has a large selection of gins available in their bar, as well as several their own infusions which are distilled on the premises, which are delicious on their own or as an accompaniment to food.
The restaurants modern and contemporary décor combines elements of Eastern design with a distinctly Mancunian feel with the tiled floors made up honeycomb-like hexagons, a nod to Manchester’s famous worker bee symbol.
Alston has private dining rooms and caters to conferences, working lunches and board meetings. The spacious open plan room would also make the perfect space to host a networking event.
- Impossible Bar
Impossible bar is another location which has had incredible success within its first year of business. After opening on Peter Street in September 2017 following an ambitious £3m renovation, the bar now has three successful nights a week attracting Manchester party-goers to all of its three floors.
The concept for the theatrical restaurant and bar comes from Manchester-based Aaron Mellor, MD of the UK’s largest privately-owned nightclub operator: Tokyo Industries. On the ground level, Impossible Bar features a bar and restaurant space seating up to 280. A full kitchen menu operates from 12pm to 9pm. The mezzanine level features a hidden ‘Gin Palace’, with 63 gins from around the world, while a cryogenic freezer will freeze spirits to minus 74 degrees to form edible frozen cocktails.
Downstairs, the ‘Theatre Impossible’ brings an entirely new immersive nightlife experience to Manchester, featuring a catwalk, theatre stage, and private VIP areas. This venue would be ideal for large parties, fashion shows, live band and all manner of performances. Perfect to add an extra special element to launch parties or client events.
Whatever your budget and objective, Manchester boasts a host of venues to suit any event.
