"It has always been my ambition to open a restaurant in the North West where my guests could enjoy ambitious cooking using the best of the fantastic ingredients that the region has to offer. When we opened The London Carriage Works and Hope Street Hotel I fulfilled a life-long dream and I feel that the two operations complement each other perfectly."
