ELIZABETH TOWER, MANCHESTER

Sitting atop a new tower block in central Manchester, this kitchen has a fine view out across the city, with its interesting mix of modern high-rise developments and repurposed Victorian industrial architecture. In the distance behind the kitchen Holcombe Moor and Blackstone Edge dominate the horizon, and on a clear day, Kinder Scout beckons. One can think of few better places to spend a long Friday evening; authentic wood-fired pizza from the Delivita oven, a glass of wine in hand, the flickering flames fusing with winking city lights.
