The team behind critically acclaimed wine bar, Flawd, in Ancoats, have revealed they are planning to open a new city centre restaurant. Higher Ground will be set within Faulkner House, a Bruntwood Works property on the corner of Faulkner Street and New York Street.
Flawd and Higher Ground are owned and run by chef Joseph Otway, Daniel Craig Martin and Richard Cossins, who are also behind Cheshire-based market garden, Cinderwood. The new restaurant will open early 2023 and plans to offer a selectin of dishes using the best, locally sourced seasonal ingredients along with a selection of expertly chosen natural wines.
This will not be their first Higher Ground project. They were one of the first to host a pop-up residency at The Bungalow at Kampus and were based there as a kitchen and wine shop local delivery service during lockdown. They also hosted a series of sell-out supperclubs at Moda’s penthouse suites, towering over Angel Meadows and held a short but significant residency taking over the kitchens at Ducie Street Warehouse.
