Manchester’s reigning Chef of the Year unveils new restaurant
Danny Jones
A brand new restaurant from Manchester Chef of the Year, Shaun Moffat, and a small team of hospitality heavyweights is opening in the city centre.
The former Manteca, Hix and St. Leonards chef, who has gone on to earn even plenty of local acclaim thanks to his work at the Edinburgh Castle in Ancoats and most recently Maya in the Gay Village, is now set to embark on his own venture and will soon become the Chef Patron of a brand new concept.
Although there aren’t too many details just yet, Moffat and co. are promising to focus on two core principles: ‘Northern hospitality and thoughtful British cooking’.
Set to take the lead on Winsome Restaurant sooner than you think, should everything stay on schedule, Moffat and the new restaurant will be housed on Princess Street, adjoining the Whitworth Locke Hotel, as they cook to the masses from this historic corner of Manchester.

Winsome will be opening in the old Peru Perdu site, which sadly closed back in May 2024 after being given notice by the landlords next door.
The South American spot had proved a popular one for half a decade but has sadly been vacant ever since, but neighbours Foundation Coffee and the aforementioned Whitworth remain frequented city centre destinations.

With that in mind, the man voted ‘Chef of the Year’ at the most recent Manchester Food and Drink Awards and who notched a spot in the UK’s Top 50 Gastro Pubs during his time at the Castle, will be hoping to welcome diners back into the building and continue his success at Winsome.
The aim, more specifically, will be to bring local and seasonal produce and deliver a regularly changing menu that showcases the very best of ingredients, all with a comforting familiarity and a touch of Moffat’s own modern flair. But there are plenty more brains and pedigree behind this new opening too…
The drinks programme at Winsome will be led by none other than Tom Fastiggi, who previously worked at the industry-leading and equally award-winning Schofields. There will be a selection of hotel classics and familiar drinks alongside a strong no and low selection and some of Fastiggi’s own creations.
Wine will also be a focus with a sommelier served and curated list focusing primarily on old-world wines delivered again with Winsome’s laidback personality and flair.
Fastiggi and the Winsome team will also take over Whitworth’s stunning Atrium hotel bar (pictured above), providing a space for diners, hotel guests and passers-by to enjoy memorable bar food paired with delicious cocktails in the quaint setting of the Locke’s iconic glass structure.
“The Atrium space truly gives a unique feel to this bar. The drinks will be familiar and a warm welcome will await all guests. It’s a great new addition to Manchester’s hospitality scene”, says Tom Fastiggi.
Completing the team will be Owain Williams, founder not only of the renowned Belzan in Liverpool but, more importantly for us Mancs, Kampus’ Madre and Medlock Canteen over on Deansgate, among a number of other notable hospitality venues across the Northwest.
Quite the trio of talent with a wealth of expertise behind them.
Speaking on launching his own restaurant, Shaun Moffat added, “Opening the doors will be a big moment in my career, I am truly excited to share Winsome with the people of Manchester.”
Sneak peak inside Manchester Airport’s brand new terminal following £1.3bn transformation

Manchester Airport has released video giving passengers a taste of what Terminal 2 will look like when it fully opens later this year.
You may already know that the first phase of the airport’s £1.3 billion transformation programme being carried out over 10 years was finished back in 2021, when an extension that doubled the size of Terminal 2 opened to the public.
But now we’ve been given a glimpse into what the full finished product will look like.
The first phase of the programme has already received the prestigious UNESCO-backed Prix Versailles award for architecture and design, so the transformation is already off to a flying start.

Since the completion of phase one, lots has been happening – including ongoing work to revamp the original part of the building, and create more space for seating, security, shops, restaurants, and check-in along the way.
Now though, the airport has shared a fly-through video showing what passengers will experience when they use the new terminal.
The video augments CGIs of parts of the terminal that are under construction with the parts that have been finished to show the full experience.
“It’s so exciting for us to finally be able to share this video our passengers, so they can get a preview of what they’ll be able to experience here later on this year,” commented Manchester Airport’s Managing Director, Chris Woodroofe, as the video was released this week.
“Our transformation programme has been 10 years and £1.3bn in the making, but now we’re in the final stages of finishing everything off to open it to the public later this year.”

This fly-through video gives passengers a taste of what they will experience in our new T2. From arriving in our new check-in hall and going through security, to walking through the new section of our departure lounge.
Mr Woodroofe says there’s a “huge amount of work going on” all over the airport, but this video shows that it will “all be worth it” in the end.
He also added that the transformation isn’t just limited to Terminal 2 either, as work is also being done to modernise the airfield, building a new road to improve access to the new terminal, and improvements to Terminal 3 are also on the horizon – with announcements on this expected to be coming soon.
