Open Fire Dining Club 2026
Manchester’s Finest presents Open Fire Dining Club - a unique series of supper clubs designed for a true escape from the city. Long tables, open grills and a considered mix of food, drink and company, set against the backdrop of crackling embers and open sky.
At the heart of it all is Tartuffe. Founded by Ruby Fryman and Gary Weir, it was recently featured in Observer Food Monthly as part of a national spotlight on the new wave of rotisserie-led restaurants - recognised for its playful concept and refined approach to fire-cooked chicken.
After a fully sold-out first season, we return to Torr Vale Mill with Tartuffe and a new line-up of exciting guest chefs stepping up to the grills for 2026...
OSMA: Saturday 25 + Sunday 26 April 2026Former MasterChef: The Professionals contestant and OSMA co-founder Dani Heron kicks off Tartuffe’s 2026 collaborations. Her CV spans some of Europe’s most celebrated kitchens, having cut her teeth at Simon Rogan’s revered L’Enclume in the Lake District and Maaemo in Oslo — the three-Michelin-star restaurant renowned for its refined, nature-led cooking.
The Royal Oak Cartmel: Saturday 30 + Sunday 31 May 2026
On a recent trip to Cartmel, The Royal Oak was the only place on people’s lips. So we went. It lived up to the chatter. Demi Millard and Tom Pemberton have created something that feels genuinely rooted in its place. A proper pub, but with a level of cooking that goes way beyond what you expect. It felt like a hand-in-glove fit for Open Fire, the kind of cooking that’s already built around instinct, produce and atmosphere over prissy presentation.
NORD: Saturday 27 + Sunday 28 June 2026
Liverpool’s Michelin-acclaimed NORD, led by Daniel Heffy joins us in June. Another chef with serious pedigree, and time spent in celebrated kitchens like the three-star Frantzén and Adam/Albin in Stockholm, his produce-led cooking brims with Northern heritage and warm hospitality.
