Looking to host a private dinner in Manchester? Events by Adam Reid offers an elevated setting for your next dining experience, boasting the chef’s signature Northern warmth for memorable private occasions. Set within the historic Midland Hotel, the venue offers an elegant backdrop for your upcoming dinner, whether you're planning a sit-down birthday celebration or a business lunch with colleagues.
The Mount Street Dining Room is a particularly striking space for your dinner, bringing a neutral backdrop of rich wood panelling with golden detailing. Here, you’ll find bay windows, and an impressive fireplace, with sparkling chandeliers and period artwork that add a luxurious feel to the space. The room can host up to 80 banquet-style, or up to 150 if you’re planning a more relaxed standing reception.
Menus are crafted to showcase the very best ingredients the North has to offer, with three different menus on offer, each suited to a different kind of event. The ‘Little Bit of Something Fancy’ menu offers a selection of bite-sized snacks - think shrimp crumpets, fish pie, or a playful twist on cheese on toast. ‘The Picky Tea’ menu is built for grazing, offering a variety of bowl and finger-style food for a more relaxed event. Expect the likes of fish paste crumpet, and honey roast hand, with fried potato with cream, or watercress and potato chowder to follow.
For those planning a traditional sit-down dinner, ‘The Family Dinner’ delivers a multi-course feast with sharing sides for the whole group. Expect dishes such as white onion, cider and pickled mussel chowder, followed by roasted chicken with barley stew, and nostalgic desserts like treacle sponge with clotted cream and custard. Please be aware that private dinners here come with a minimum spend on food.
