A Kitchen ‘Dream-Team’ Cooks Up A Storm For Their Industry’s Less Fortunate

A ‘dream team’ from the North’s finest chefs is to operate the celebrity kitchen for a fundraising dinner at Manchester’s five star Lowry Hotel on Monday October 1st.

The annual ‘Northern Lights’ event will start with a cocktail and canapé reception before guests are treated to an ‘as good as it gets’ five course dinner prepared by five of the region’s best award-winning chefs.

The Northern Lights Fundraising Dinner will help contribute to the record sum of money that industry charity Hospitality Action is attempting to raise for those in the industry who have fallen on hard times. Mark Lewis, Chief Executive of Hospitality Action said: “This year’s amazing line-up gives guests a chance to sample the cuisine of five chefs at the top of their game, enjoy a wonderful evening – and then go home with the warm glow that comes from having helped raise funds for people work in hospitality and find themselves in crisis”.

The kitchen team:
Starter: James Mackenzie The Pipe & Glass
Fish course: Ellis Barrie The Marram Grass (Great British Menu Finalist 2017)
Main course: Gary Usher and Richard Sharples Sticky Walnut
Cheese Savoury: Steven Smith Freemasons at Wiswell
Dessert: Adam Reid Adam Reid at The French
