The boss of one of Manchester's most prestigious hotels has revealed why he banned it from serving avocado on toast and decided to replace the tropical fruit with broad beans.
Johan Scheepers, who took over as the general manager of the Kimpton Clocktower Hotel in May 2020, made the novel move in a bid to reduce the environmental impact of one of the city's largest hospitalist landmarks.
In an exclusive interview with the Manchester Evening News, the GM lifts the lid on what it's really like to run one of the city's most top hotels, the battle to hire back as many people as possible who were made redundant during the pandemic, as well as how making the extra bank holiday for the Queen's Jubilee permanent would be positive for his establishment.
