So we're now selling off our kit. Ranges, deck oven, bratt pans, blast chiller, stand mixers - all must go. DM for details.

[Cook:Manchester @cookmanchester]

@tailoredchefs The buyer has actually been based in the kitchen since December, but progress is slow.

[Cook:Manchester @cookmanchester]

@tailoredchefs I'll certainly keep it in mind if things go tits up, but I'm still aiming for a sale of the lot in one hit. Much less stress.

[Cook:Manchester @cookmanchester]

@tailoredchefs That's very kind of you - I hope something better comes along with my ideals in future.

[Cook:Manchester @cookmanchester]

@tailoredchefs No, we're still in the process of figuring out a sale to someone. It's taking some time, but it's in process.

.@tailoredchefs With regard reopening, I don't think so. It was a nice idea, run in the wrong place at the wrong time with the wrong person.

[Cook:Manchester @cookmanchester]

.@tailoredchefs ...with basically zero income and came to the decision that it wasn't worth it anymore. Sorry to disappoint you, I suppose.

[Cook:Manchester @cookmanchester]

.@tailoredchefs ...I couldn't bring in enough money to keep the lights on without constantly paying the bills myself. I went two years...

[Cook:Manchester @cookmanchester]

.@tailoredchefs I spent two years trying to get the place to work, met some amazing people and some not so amazing people. In the end...

[Cook:Manchester @cookmanchester]

.@tailoredchefs Hi Jan, thanks for the interest. Essentially there wasn't enough business in Manchester to keep the place open.

@LCAMediaCity My background's in retail management, but I really want to stay in food - if you hear of any management jobs let me know!
