A new bar and brasserie has opened at Manchester Airport and promises to give passengers somewhere quiet if they need to get away from the hustle and bustle.

The Evergreen Bar & Brasserie combines stylish botanical décor with a menu that’s inspired by local produce.

This new restaurant is operated by SSP UK and it’s the company’s first airside outlet in Manchester Airport’s Terminal 2.

Airport colleagues named the new restaurant as a competition allowed them to choose a fitting name.

The new restaurant offers a premium pre-flight experience for departing passengers with a menu that features artisan products from suppliers across the north.

You’ll find the 144-seat restaurant in the departure lounge’s main atrium and you can tuck into a range of food and drinks whether you’re looking for breakfast and coffee or a sharing board and glass of wine.

The opening of The Evergreen Bar & Brasserie comes as Manchester Airport continues to make progress on its £1.3bn transformation programme which will more than double the size of the existing Terminal 2 when it is completed next year.

“We’re delighted to have opened our first bespoke airside bar in this terminal, which will bring a premium dining experience to those wanting a final taste of Manchester before departure.

“Offering bespoke outlets is an important part of our strategy, ensuring we surprise and delight our customers while also providing a new experience each time they travel.”

“The design of the restaurant is fresh and modern, but also relaxed and comfortable, providing customers with a memorable and distinctively Northern experience thanks to the focus on regional produce.

“Terminal 2 is the centrepiece of our transformation programme and will be used by over 70 per cent of our passengers when it is complete, so we wanted to ensure we have a broad range of options for them to grab a bite to eat before they fly.

“This new restaurant offers something different to the existing offering in Terminal 2 while also supporting suppliers from across the North, and we are sure it will be a hit with our passengers.”
