The man behind El Gato Negro, Habas and Canto has taken his own stall at this year's Manchester Christmas Markets - it could be a trailblazer for BIG change at the festive event
While we've become accustomed to seeing local indie street food operators out on the Manchester Christmas Markets in recent years, it's rare to see an award-winning chef busy firing up a stove on a stall. And yet here is Simon Shaw, boss of the acclaimed El Gato Negro restaurant, out in his apron firing up stoves in a tent along King Street.
And certainly for those people who complain about the Christmas Markets, and say we should be investing our money in the year-round operators of Manchester instead, it could be a welcome move. "But we also know we could become a bit of a trailblazer here. I know I'll be getting a call from other operators in the city asking 'how did it go'. If we are successful, other people will want a slice."
There are also warm churros with cinnamon sugar for £6, as well as an array of drinks, including Simon's own special take on mulled wine with Morroccan herbs and spices.
