PETER DALTON

Peter opened his first venue in Manchester in 1990 at the age of 23. The groundbreaking Manto Bar was widely seen as the catalyst behind the regeneration of the Canal Street/Whitworth Street corridor and quickly became a landmark modern building within this famous conservation area. Peter went on to open a further eight venues in Manchester and London before scaling back his business and eventually selling up in 2006 to fulfil a lifelong ambition and travel round the world.

Having been itching for some time to get ‘back to the floor’, Peter’s experience, coupled with a love of roast dinners and real ale, makes him perfectly suited to head up the operations side of the business.
