Pop-up hit the Stretford Canteen is to take up permanent residence at the soon-to-be developed Stretford Mall. The supper club project run by Josephine Sandwith and Dean Taylor will move into one of the units at the front of the mall on Chester Road.
The restaurant will be the pair’s first bricks and mortar site, after running pop-ups since 2016. The cuisine is Lyonnaise in its inspiration, taking in hearty dishes from the French culinary capital.
It’s also inspired by Josephine’s upbringing, at the famous Beaujolais restaurant on Portland Place, the long-established French bistro which was owned by her parents. The menu at Stretford Canteen will be centred around local produce, and around producers using sustainable methods.
