THE 24-YEAR-OLD MICHELIN-TRAINED CHEF TURNING SANDWICHES INTO A TASTING MENU Tucked away above a barbers shop in Oldham, the humble butty is being elevated into a seven-course tasting menu. After going through Michelin-training and working in some of the most renowned restaurants in Manchester, Kieran O'Reilly decided to open his own place, @ruger.fjord, under the motto ‘happy chef, happy food’. Originally envisioned as a brunch spot with the goal of ‘keeping the lights on’, only three months in, they’ve refined to an elevated sandwich menu that people just can’t get enough of. You can get your hands on one through a sandwich ‘drop’, ordering online in advance to pick up, or through a completely unique seven-course fine dining experience based around the butty. The fine-dining menu highlights each meticulously executed element of their sandwiches, including a 105-hour shallot confit, home-made bacon jam and an in-house tomato vine-oil, all designed to get you craving the final product (as if you weren’t already). For the final course, you’ll witness the ‘Sandwich Demonstration’ where your butty is prepared on the central island, as you’re talked through its composition and finally get to tuck in. No flipping tables, no stuffy formalities, this is fine-dining through elevated food but with family feel. 📍 Unit 2, The Greaves Building, Hartshead St, Lees, Oldham OL4 5EE ⏰ Sandwich Drops: Thursday & Friday, 5:00-6:15pm, Saturday & Sunday, 11:00am-1:00pm, Tasting Menu: Thursday & Friday 7pm, Saturday & Sunday 3pm or 7pm 💰Sandwiches from £12.25 | Tasting menu from £47.50pp
