Celebrating craftsmanship and naturalness
The ownership trio at Higher Ground in Manchester all worked at Blue Hill at Stone Barns, Dan Barber’s iconic restaurant north of New York. This is evident not only in their high standards of quality but also in the down-to-earth, seemingly simple cooking, where much time and care is devoted to seasonal ingredients. The wine list also reflects a focus on naturalness; it’s both interesting and impressive.
Sustainability highlights
- 4-day workweek, paid holidays for 4 weeks
- Own bio-intensive farm, supplying fresh, hand-harvested vegetables, fruits, and herbs
- Seafood – Strictly British, non-netted, line-caught fish from Wright Bros Ltd
