After a fabulous year here at Damson, we thought what better way to bring in the New Year than a night to remember with amazing views, fine wine & of course not forgetting divine food! With two mouth watering menus available why not celebrate here with us in the heart of Media City. There will be a choice of two menus on the night, £60 – six course tasting menu (5pm – 7pm) and £90 – 10 course tasting menu (7pm – 10pm). Later on in the evening we also have a harpist to accompany service……. you wouldn’t want to miss out!

This week at Damson, we were able to bring you a spectacular evening of Piemonte wines which we carefully paired with delicious dishes! For our Piemonte Wine Evening, we presented a four course tasting menu, pairing each dish with the perfect wine. On arrival our customers received a welcome drink of Alasia Brut 08. We then progressed on to our grilled sea bass, pumpkin agnolotti, vanilla & smoked bacon which we paired with Fontanino Riesling 2014 with its aromas of lime and a touch of lemongrass we thought it would be the perfect combination. While our diners enjoyed the wines and dishes our guest speaker Craig Sutheran helped transport us on our journey to the province of Piedmont in the north western corner of Italy! Here is a peek at some of the dishes! ,… Keep an eye out for our next event by checking out our events page….. ...

If you have ever been in to Damson you will have seen that we have a love for cheese when our huge slate cheese board parades the room! With that in mind we thought why not give a nod to our love of cheese with an evening with Eric Charriaux from La cave a fromage. Our head chef carefully created a menu incorporating some of the cheeses and we carefully paired these with matching wines. Eric then lead the evening with the cheese board of all cheese boards and shared his knowledge and love! Here are a few pictures if you missed out………....

Ideal home show- A few weeks ago we had the opportunity to take part in the Ideal home show Manchester! This gave us the perfect stage to showcase the cocktails and food at Damson. We started the show off with a cocktail master-class, with our general manager Nick and bar manager Andrew showcasing some of our favourites. We also managed to find ourselves another two bar ladies!! Later on in the day, our Head Chef Vinny Brooke created a sole dish, demonstrating a wonderful way to entertain guests at home with a ‘wow’ dish!

Missed our event on 2nd June? Here’s a teaser from the night… Keith himself is a fourth-generation Hunter Valley winemaker of the Tulloch dynasty, a family that can trace winemaking heritage across three centuries. Having roots planted solidly in the local area, Keith attended Roseworthy Collage’s prestigious school of winemaking in South Australia before returning to hone his craft locally at Mount View Estate, Hungerford Hill, Lindeman’s and Rothbury Estate. When Boutinot told us Keith was in the UK we knew we had team up with him to deliver an evening of fine food and fine wine with 4 courses and 5 wines! Each course was paired up with a wine whilst Keith talked through the process and tasting notes really giving an over dinning experience. Here’s some pictures of the night…....
