ANCOATS IS GETTING A NEW ‘MODERN PIZZA RESTAURANT’
Behind it are mastermind Richard Carver and co-founder Dan Hope, and it’s set to open at One Port Street this summer.
mcr will be built around seasonal food, generous hospitality and music, with a menu that changes weekly.
18-inch pizzas will sit alongside sharing plates made with produce from the North West and beyond, including flour grown and milled in the Lake District, vegetables from Cinderwood Market Garden and Organic North, British charcuterie and cheeses. The all-important tomatoes and olive oil will be sourced from Italy.
Sharing dishes will include salt-baked beetroot with ricotta and dill, radicchio agrodolce with stracciatella, and a heap of grilled lamb chops with anchoïade.
The pizza menu will feature the likes of tomato butter pie with marjoram, charred seasonal greens with anchovy, and porchetta with whipped potato and fennel.
Gelato will also be made in-house daily, with flavours rotating regularly.
Drinks will be kept simple, with w**e, local b**r, aperitivi and a £7 house Negroni.
Music will be a key element of the restaurant too, with a bespoke sound system from Turn End Audio – which also provided sound support at Rainy Heart – installed in the space.
Proloco opens this summer at One Port Street. Soft launch details will be available via proloco.uk.
