A new restaurant championing foraged and natural ingredients has opened up on Deansgate Mews this week.
With a daily-changing menu that uses ingredients picked in the wild by its chefs alongside top produce from some of Manchester’s finest growers, it’s rather tiny – with room inside for just 24 guests at once.
Called Another Hand, it comes from Danny Foggo of Holy Grain, Julian Pizer and Max Yorke, formerly of Edinburgh Castle and Hispi.

According to the chefs behind it, everything is cooked ‘as natural as possible’ with a big emphasis on using sustainable, organic and ethically-produced ingredients.
Vegetables served here come with the promise that they’ve been picked ‘out the ground’ that very same day, with specially-selected fish, meat and fermented foods alongside to complement the flavours.
With an open kitchen and Japanese grill, everything is on show as you sit and eat. The restaurant itself features crushed burnt orange furnishings, exposed brick and teal accents.

Offering everything from all-day breakfast and brunch to lunch and dinner, as the day goes on the concept will evolve – with the restaurant transforming from a light and airy casual eatery in the day to an intimate dining space by night.
What’s more, thanks to the daily changing menu, no two visits are likely to ever be the same.
Supplied daily by local businesses like Cinderwood Market Garden, Organic North, Littlewoods Butcher and Butcher’s Quarter, low-intervention and locally sourced produce sits at the heart of the concept.
Julian Pizer from Another Hand said: “Dishes will be served as natural as possible. We’ve sough out the best possible producers and high-quality suppliers to minimise waste within the kitchen and ensure our dishes are sustainable, organic and tasty.”
Food is combined with natural wine, craft beer, seasonal cocktails and coffee sourced from other local, independent businesses.
Another Hand at Great Northern Warehouse is open now. Bookings for evening tables are now live and can be booked here.

A club night dedicated to the majesty of power ballads is heading to Manchester this spring.
Power Up – the Ultimate Power Ballad Night will encourage punters to belt out some of the biggest songs in history well into the night.
Tune up your air guitars, round up your mates, squeeze those eyes tight shut and scream your heart out to classic power ballads from the likes of Meat Loaf, Queen, Whitney Houston and loads more.
This beloved power ballads night out will be at the O2 Ritz Manchester over Easter weekend, with an early club night that will kick off at 9pm and wrap up at 1am.
You’ll be able to put the venue’s iconic sprung dance floor through its paces as you bound around to some of the world’s biggest anthems.
The playlist will include artists like Journey, Bon Jovi, Bonnie Tyler, Phil Collins, Belinda Carlisle, and many more.
If you’ve not been to a Power Up night out before, you can expect DJs throwing blow-up guitars and microphones into the crowd, non-stop fist-clenching anthems, and a setlist that’ll leave you hoarse from belting the next morning,
This next installment will be taking place at the O2 Ritz Manchester on Saturday 19 April, between 9pm and 1am.

11 people arrested during early-morning police raids across Manchester

11 people have been arrested following a series of early morning police raids across Manchester this week.
In what formed part of Greater Manchester Police‘s (GMP) operation to disrupt, deter, and crack down on gang-related criminality across the region, officers from local neighbourhood teams, along with the Tactical Aid Unit, conducted warrants at seven addresses in Gorton and Openshaw, securing a total of 11 arrests along the way.
Nine males and two women, all between the ages of 16 and 28, were arrested.
They were each arrested on suspicion of a range of offences, including possession with intent to supply Class A drugs, and assault, and with investigations currently ongoing, they remain in custody for questioning.

Not only that, but police also seized a quantity of class A and B drugs, weapons including knives, and other ‘suspicious items’ for further investigation too.
Police say this ‘renewed work’ in targeting urban street gangs in the Manchester area comes off the back of a number of violent incidents in recent months – particularly including the shooting of a teenager in October.
Further activity and ‘proactive action’ is planned in the coming months as part of the ongoing operation, which, according to GMP, will see more criminality targeted, more arrests and charges, and more work with local partners to reduce and prevent all manner of crimes.

“We simply will not tolerate incidents which see young people being left with devastating injuries, lifelong issues, and being trapped in a vicious cycle from which they struggle to break out of,” commented Inspector Dan Pickavance, from GMP’s North Manchester neighbourhood team, following the raids this week.
“Our work today is designed to stop exactly those things.
“We want to get people who we suspect of crime off the streets, seize deadly weapons, and get drugs out of supply before they end up in the hands of vulnerable people.”
