Manchester Food and Drink Festival<\/a> (MFDF) is returning to the city this autumn and today it has announced the first wave of events as part of the 2021 programme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The independently-run event which was postponed last year due to the pandemic will run from 16 to 27 September.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Director of MFDF, Alexa Stratton Powell said: \u201cWe are absolutely delighted to be bringing the Festival back this year. Postponing in 2020 was hugely disappointing – a tough decision but the right one of course.

“We set up the Festival,  a small group of people, to champion independent food and drink businesses. We\u2019re still a very small team but we are just as committed as ever, particularly now as we face a whole new chapter for hospitality, to showcasing the very best that our amazing city has to offer. This year we\u2019re looking forward to celebrating our brilliant hospitality industry and bringing people together for some cracking food and drink!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Festival Hub on Cathedral Gardens<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Festival Hub will once again be located on Cathedral Gardens and will be the centre of the event, with street food, bars, live music, an artisan market and takeover events hosted by various Manchester restaurants and operators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Hub is free to enter with bookable tables and some saved for walk ins. Most of the available tables have already been booked now but there is still some limited availability alongside walk in spaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is also a range of fringe events at venues across the city which takes place throughout the festival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s everything they’ve announced so far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Festival Hub<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Bull & Bear Hub Takeover<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Tom Kerridge’s restaurant, The Bull & Bear<\/a> will be taking over the MFDF Festival Hub for a special supper club, serving a three-course ‘pub grub’ menu. Of course, it’s a pub menu from a two Michelin starred chef so this won’t be the food from your average boozer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"

Diners will enjoy a started of potted Loch Duart salmon with apple jelly and cucumber chutney, braised beef and blue cheese pie with English mustard mash and Seven Brothers ale gravy for main, and to finish it’s banana custard with dates, pistachio and honeycomb. A vegetarian option will be available too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event will take place on Monday 20 September. Tickets cost \u00a355 per person and can be booked here<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Manchester’s Biggest Chippy Tea<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
