The team behind Manchester's Bib Gourmand restaurant, Higher Ground, has revealed plans to launch Bar Shrimp later this year.
Daniel Craig Martin, Joseph Otway, and Richard Cossins—the team behind Higher Ground and wine bar Flawd—are set to open a casual British seafood and snacks venue, Bar Shrimp, in Manchester city centre this winter.
Bar Shrimp will also feature cocktails, draft beers, and live music, though further details remain under wraps.
Higher Ground began as a pop-up in Manchester in early 2020 after its founders connected with a breeder raising pasture-fed cows in Cheshire woodlands as part of a regenerative food system.
The restaurant became a permanent fixture in early 2023 and now features a daily-changing menu that highlights whole animal butchery and locally sourced produce.
In 2024, it was awarded a Bib Gourmand at the Michelin Guide Great Britain & Ireland ceremony.
In 2021, the trio launched Flawd, a neighborhood wine bar and bottle shop, on the waterfront in Manchester’s New Islington.
