It’s almost summer – although you may not think it, with rain coming down, heaters back on – it’s pretty grim out there.  So we’re taking a look at some of the events coming up at 2015 Masterchef winner Simon Wood’s Wood Manchester over the Summer to put a bit of sunshine back in your life:

19 June – Meat and Mead
Join Wood Manchester for an evening of meat and mead as they serve up the most majestic of meats, the Tomahawk steak, with a selection of locally made Meads for guests to try at this one off event.
The team will bring a hint of Game of Thrones to the restaurant, as they partner with C&O Wines to bring diners a brilliant new range of locally sourced Mead paired with Wood’s famous Tomahawk steaks! The Ye Olde English beverage comes in a variety of flavours and is vegetarian and vegan friendly made by a real life Druid from the Lancashire Mead Company.
Tickets are priced at £60 for a Tomahawk, two sides and a sauce to share and a Mead tasting. A mead flight to accompany the meal will also be available to purchase on the night.
Spaces are limited the event starts at 6.30 pm on 19th June, book in advance by calling the restaurant on 0161 236 5211.



26 July – New World vs. Old World Wine Dinner
