Join us for an evening with two of Austria’s legendary winemakers, Werlitsch & Muster.

Ewald Tscheppe and Sepp Muster will be in the dining room on Wednesday 21st October for one night only to share their wines, their stories and their passion with us. Based in Styria in southern Austria, both have been pioneers of regenerative farming and champions of biodiversity in the vineyards, making some of the most intriguing wines you can find.

I’ve been a huge fan of their wines for as long as I can remember, so after having the opportunity to visit them a few times over the years and most recently this past May, it’s extremely exciting to be hosting them here in Manchester for the first time.

On the evening our usual seasonal menu will be available along with à la carte menu. We’ll be pouring a wide selection of wines by the glass as well as a specially selected bottle list of both old and new vintages.

Reservations are available via the link in our bio. We hope to see you there!

The final instalment of this year’s Cooking With Friends Sunday Lunch series is here!

On Sunday 27th September, Henry Harris will bring the cooking of his acclaimed London restaurant, Bouchon Racine, to Manchester.

Chris Ditch and I first met Henry in the kitchen as young cooks back in 2008, so having him cook with us at Higher Ground all these years later feels like a special full-circle moment.

Henry’s cooking has long been regarded as some of the best French food in London and Bouchon Racine was recently crowned the UK’s number one restaurant at the National Restaurant Awards.

For one Sunday only, we’ll be cooking a menu together inspired by the flavours and style that make Bouchon Racine such a special place.

Set menu only, 1pm-3:30pm
£75 per person

Please note that due to the nature of the menu and the ingredients being used, we’re unable to offer vegan or vegetarian alternatives for this lunch.
We can accommodate allergies where possible, but these must be highlighted ahead of time when making the booking.

Signed copies of Henry’s new book ‘The Racine Effect’ will also be available to purchase on the day.

Reservations are now live via the link in our bio.

Blackcurrant curd meringue pie.

Scottish blackcurrants cooked into a sharp curd and topped with plenty of soft meringue.

A nod to a classic lemon meringue pie, but making the most of late summer blackcurrants.

On the menu now!
