Last month, we reported that Tom Kerridge had announced that his hospitality partnership with Gary Neville’s GG Hospitality group would be coming to an end, and that one of Manchester’s best bar teams would be taking over the Bull & Bear restaurant and bar.
The trio behind Manchester bars SCHOFIELD’S BAR, ATOMECA and STERLING have now revealed they will be relaunching as The Stock Market Grill which will take over the former Bull & Bear site at Stock Exchange Hotel. The first restaurant concept for Joe and Daniel Schofield and wine-expert James Brandwood will open at Stock Exchange Hotel in February.
The kitchen will be led by Head-Chef Joshua Reed Cooper whose impressive CV includes working for Simon Rogan at The French, Sam Buckley at Where The Light Gets In and at Manchester’s only Michelin starred restaurant MANA.
Diners can expect traditional British dishes created using expert culinary techniques, and using high quality local produce. The launch menu will include dishes such as whipped black pudding with yolk on toast; tartare of rib-eye with caper jam and smoked dripping; steamed cod with caramelised mash and tartare sauce and a sticky toffee tart with honey custard.
Manchester born brothers Joe and Daniel Schofield and their business partner, wine expert James Brandwood, have helped promote Manchester’s bar scene across the world with their other venues SCHOFIELD’S BAR, ATOMECA and STERLING.
The trio have more than 20 years’ experience across the globe working in some of the world’s best restaurants and bars including Singapore’s Tippling Club, Jimmy Liks and Rockpool Bar & Grill in Sydney.
Gary Neville, owner of the Stock Exchange Hotel said: “I am incredibly excited to be working with Joe, Daniel and James again on the launch of The Stock Market Grill. I know they will bring another world class-brand to the Stock Exchange Hotel and to our city.”
A statement from Joe, Daniel and James said: “We are really looking forward to the launch of The Stock Market Grill. This is a concept that we have wanted to bring forward for some time and the former trading floor of the Stock Exchange seemed like the perfect option. Our aim is to reinvent the traditional hotel restaurant, to become a space destined for food and drink travellers, whilst providing an expectation exceeding experience for the residents of the hotel.”
The team opened STERLING in The Vault of Stock Exchange Hotel in September 2022 which has already received rave reviews.
Stock Exchange Hotel won Times Travel and The Sunday Times Best Hotel in the North of England in 2020 and has recently won Leading Hotel of the Year at the This is MCR Awards 2022.
The Stock Market Grill will open at the end of February 2023.
