This evening saw the hotly anticipated Greek-Mediterranean restaurant, FENIX, open its doors to film and TV stars, musicians and sportspeople to celebrate its arrival onto the burgeoning foodie scene in Manchester. The stylish and opulent new venture, from the same group behind popular dining destination, Tattu, played host to VIP guests who took a break from their busy schedules to descend onto Spinningfields and party in true Manchester style.
First to arrive was football legend Gary Neville followed shortly after by star of recent hit Deep Fear, Ed Westwick, who was joined by his girlfriend, Bollywood actress and model Amy Jackson. Looking chic in an all black Del Core look, the duo headed to their table where they enjoyed canapes in the form of Mediterranean favourites, Grilled Octopus and Chicken Anticucho.
Shortly after on a neighbouring table Molly Mae Hague arrived for a rare night out. Molly stunned in a tailored pinstripe grey blazer, whilst fiancè Tommy trained for his upcoming fight in Abu Dhabi. Molly had a sun kissed glow courtesy, no doubt, of her brand ‘Filter’, after teasing fans with an upcoming career move that she described as ‘the biggest of her career’
Next through the doors was the model son of Manchester’s very own Liam Gallagher, Lennon Gallagher, who arrived to DJ sets from Made By Pete & Zoe Kypri and went straight to the bar to enjoy a tequila. Lennon’s band Automotion have upcoming gigs in Manchester, heralding a new era for Mancunian musical superstars.
Recent star of Strictly Come Dancing, Adam Thomas joined brother and Coronation Street royalty Ryan Thomas and Samia Longchambon. Samia looked loved up with her husband Sylvain at Manchester’s newest hotspot. They were seen chatting to fellow TV stars Lydia Bright and Lucy Mecklenburgh over FENIX signature cocktails, including the Siren’s Call and Medusa’s Curse as well as the Fallen from Olympus sharing cocktail from the event’s partner, PATRÓN El Cielo Tequila.
Manchester’s sporting superstars, old and new, were out in full force ahead of Manchester City’s clash with Liverpool on Friday. Alongside class of ‘92 star Gary Neville, other football heroes included Manuel Akanji, and Nicky Butt.
Manchester’s fashion finest attended with Hyrum Cook, CEO of Kardashian favourite Adanola, gracing the red carpet fresh from Copenhagen along with Pretty Little Thing’s podcast host and Radio 1 DJ Nat O’Leary. Ross Warswick, owner of Couture Club, also stunned with wife Danielle Fogarty and sister in law and Love Island star Claudia Fogarty.
