If you’ve not been to District, the futurist Thai BBQ place on Oldham Street, it might well be because at a minimum of £50 for the smaller of its tasting menus (and £100 for the extended version), some could feel priced out of the party. But things are changing.
The Michelin contender - it made it into the Michelin Guide’s recommended places in the city earlier this year - is hoping that shifting its focus to a more standard set-up will open itself up to a new audience. In addition, chef and owner Ben Humphreys has completely overhauled the menu, adding a host of new dishes, and those that have been kept have been tweaked too.
But the main difference, basically, is that now you can order dishes separately. The M.E.N donned its Blade Runner trench coat and headed off to the Shoulder of Orion (will stop this now) last week to do some galactic exploring.
