Deepjoy in Salford Quays. MediaCityUK is to get something resembling a pub. The Dock Yard will open in October, operated by Steve Pilling, who set up the Damson Restaurant.
Upmarket is the name of the game:
The menu is set to include spit roast free range chicken, handmade pies and handmade burgers by Mark Stanley, the company’s full-time butcher. The site will be open for breakfast too, serving fresh juices and artisan breads in the morning.
A relaxed and informal vibe is the plan, with a lively atmosphere after work. Decor-wise, the industrial-chic interior has been designed by Don Hobson, taking inspiration from the venue’s heritage as a key trading site on the shore of the ship canal – with a fit out by restaurant specialists Dawn Vale.
The Dock Yard will lead with the drinks offering, serving an array of keg and cask ales, pales ales, beers and ciders, as well as a wine list curated by wine expert Steve Pilling himself in an informal setting. Fine wine will be served in carafes, as well as by the bottle from their award-winning cellar.
Price-wise may be the important thing for BBC journos and students from Salford. Mr Pilling's pub in Stockport, The Red Lion, offers 175ml glasses of wine at £3.75. In Damson, they start at £4.75, and pints of Kaltenberg cost £4. We'll let you know....
