Welcome to Damson-
Well we decided it was about time that we shared all our secrets with our fabulous customers and welcome you into our world of tantalising food and remarkable wines. Follow us as we share our secrets, our menus, our events and join in with us as we embark upon new journeys with our chefs and our fabulous team.
You may ask what and where is Damson?
Well you will find us standing loud and proud in the heart of Salford Quays. We were the first independent dinning brand to come to the location and have certainly made a home for ourselves.
Damson was established by partners Steve Pilling and Simon Stanley in 2009 with our sister restaurant at Heaton Moor, followed shortly by Damson Media City 2012!
We are a relaxed, fine dining brand that offers you an eclectic, modern take on European dishes.
Who are Steve and Simon…..
Steve Pilling began his culinary career at Manchester’s most iconic hotel, The Midland, going on to build two multi-million pound operations from scratch in Mr Sam’s and Mr Thomas’s chophouses. While Simon Stanley has worked with some of the country’s leading chefs, including Marco Pierre White and Raymond Blanc.
Together they have developed two of the most exciting independent restaurants in Manchester - Damson Heaton Moor and MediaCity - along with The Red Lion in Stockport and the Dock Yard.
Our Passion-
Well let’s see…… Fresh seasonal ingredients, our team and of course, our lovely customers! Without these key ingredients, we wouldn’t be able to do what we enjoy most.
