Gary Neville 'incredibly excited' as full details of new Stock Exchange Hotel brasserie announced

Last month Gary Neville announced a high-end 'British Brasserie' would replace the Bull & Bear restaurant, which was ran by chef Tom Kerridge. The celebrity chef said he and Neville were 'parting ways' on the Manchester city centre venture in early November.

Now, Neville has revealed more details on what diners can expect from the restaurant, which will be run by the Schofield brothers, the team behind award-winning Manchester cocktail bars Schofield's, Atomeca and Sterling - the latter of which opened in the basement of the Stock Exchange a few months ago.

Joe and Daniel Schofield and wine-expert James Brandwood have announced that The Stock Market Grill will open in February with head chef Joshua-Reed Cooper at the helm. The chef has previously worked at acclaimed restaurants The French, Where The Light Gets In and Mana, Manchester's only Michelin-starred restaurant.

Joe, Daniel and James commented: “We are really looking forward to the launch of The Stock Market Grill. This is a concept that we have wanted to bring forward for some time and the former trading floor of the Stock Exchange seemed like the perfect option.

"Our aim is to reinvent the traditional hotel restaurant, to become a space destined for food and drink travellers, whilst providing an expectation exceeding experience for the residents of the hotel.”

Described as a 'British Brasserie, with touches of elegance from continental Europe', diners can expect traditional, 'well-loved' British dishes executed with technique, using local, high quality produce. The launch menu will include dishes such as: Whipped Black Pudding With Yolk on Toast; Tartare of Rib-Eye with Caper Jam and Smoked Dripping; Steamed Cod with Caramelised Mash and Tartare Sauce; and a Sticky Toffee Tart with Honey Custard.

Manchester born and bred, Joe and Daniel Schofield and business partner James Brandwood have more than 20 years experience across the globe working in some of the world’s most acclaimed restaurants and bars including Singapore’s Tippling Club, Jimmy Liks and Rockpool Bar & Grill, Sydney.

Commenting on the news, Gary Neville said: “I am incredibly excited to be working with Joe, Daniel and James again on the launch of The Stock Market Grill. I know they will bring another world class-brand to the Stock Exchange Hotel and to our city.”

Michelin-Star holding chef Tom Kerridge opened the Bull and Bear within the luxurious hotel back in 2019. Based in the former stock exchange building, which co-owned by former Manchester United footballers Gary Neville and Ryan Giggs' GG Hospitality and hotelier Winston Zahra, The Bull & Bear restaurant will serve up for the last time on December 31. The Stock Market Grill will open at the end of February 2023.
