What’s a gin renaissance?
A ginaissance. El Gato Negro is hosting an event as part of Manchester Loves Cocktails week, with experts from The American Bar at The Savoy and Portobello Road Gin on hand to offer up Manchester-themed libations – including a hand-crafted Old Tom Gin created by El Gato Negro at The Ginstitute in West London. Punters will be guided through specially created cocktails, which will include the Nahuatl Snap with avocado oil washed gin and the Fragaria with Manzanilla Sherry and strawberry and thyme syrup.
Thu 11 Aug, El Gato Negro, 52 King Street, Manchester, M2 4LY, 7pm – 10pm, No booking required but early arrival recommended, www.lovescocktails.co.uk
ROB hosts Ancoats Supper club
Local chef Robert Owen Brown is back with Inca Pop Ups to bring the next Supper Club to Ancoats Coffee Co. The five-course menu is a gastronomic rollercoaster, starting with wild mushroom soup with summer truffle, followed by pressed smoked duck before moving onto octopus with heritage tomato and Yorkshire chorizo. So far, so tasty. Next up is butter roast guinea fowl with honey and lemon, before finishing with a classic summer pudding and vanilla ice cream. The last of these evenings swiftly sold out, so be quick to avoid Bank Holiday disappointment.
Fri 26 Aug, Ancoats Coffee Co, 17 Redhill Street, Manchester, M4 5BA, 7pm, Tickets are £35 with a £5 deposit required prior to the event, plus bring your own booze with a corkage fee, www.eventbrite.co.uk
