Mary-Ellen McTague opens pop-up at the Cuckoo in Prestwich: Mary-Ellen McTague, who suddenly closed her fine dining restaurant Aumbry in Prestwich, Manchester earlier this month, has taken up a three-month food residency at the Cuckoo bar in the town. The move echoes the successful Northern Quarter pop-up restaurant 4244 she established before Christmas. The menu will be high quality and affordable bistro-style food, with a particular focus on locally sourced produce. Dishes will reflect the simple style of cooking that put Aumbry on the culinary map five years ago. McTague said: “I’m absolutely thrilled to be continuing my culinary presence in Prestwich by taking on the kitchens of Cuckoo. The team and I are really excited to get started and we hope to build on the success of 4244 in this new location, which is particularly close to my heart.” Dave Rigby, the owner of Cuckoo, said: “We’re delighted to welcome Mary-Ellen and her team back to Prestwich. Cuckoo and Mary-Ellen share a common philosophy and we hope this partnership will bring a fresh offering to our patrons, while also attracting some new faces to the venue.” The former Aumbry site has been acquired by the Manchester restaurant Solita, which also purchased the adjacent Bombay Restaurant to create a huge new Solita, due to open in May.
