The Cotton Factory is a fresh culinary concept in Manchester, England,<br />
set in a truly exceptional space<br />
Once a mill, now an intriguing<br />
culinary destination, The Cotton<br />
Factory is bringing an everevolving<br />
selection of global cuisine to the<br />
North of England. Housed in Whitworth<br />
Locke hotel, in the heart of Manchester, the<br />
concept, in collaboration with the Londonbased<br />
food and beverage specialists The<br />
Initiative Group, utilizes the beguiling space<br />
to create pop-up restaurants from some of<br />
the exciting up-and-coming independent<br />
operators around the world. The first of these<br />
short-term residencies when it opened in July<br />
was the Mexican brand El Camino, which<br />
created a bespoke menu that included<br />
beer-braised ox cheek tacos with chipotle<br />
aioli, red pickled chili and crispy shallots;<br />
massa fried chicken tacos with red salsa<br />
and habanero aioli; as well as vegetarian<br />
options such as the chipotle cauliflower<br />
taco with radish, red chilli and sweet potato<br />
puree—all washed down with tequila<br />
cocktails. An open-plan kitchen provides<br />
diners with an insight into the workings of the<br />
chef. The new residencies will be awaited<br />
with great anticipation. lockeliving.com<br />
