SquareMeal Review of Where The Light Gets In

Gold Award

Tucked away in Stockport’s Rostron Brow (once infamous for its ale houses of ill-repute), ex-L’Enclume chef Sam Buckley’s curiously named gaff is a bright, loft-style space with an open kitchen and views across the rooftops towards Robinsons Brewery. There’s no regular menu; instead, diners are offered a procession of small plates and snacks ‘inspired by the day’s catch, harvest and slaughter’, with virtually nothing going to waste. Thrilling combinations abound, and Buckley’s “inspiring” kitchen demonstrates remarkably high levels of precision, imagination and skill across the board. Top calls from our visit included delicate raw langoustine carpaccio with fragrant rose, plum and lavender, plump steamed mussels with a caramelised mussel and hawthorn broth, slowly roasted pigeon breast and leg accompanied by sweet salt and a hint of nutty morels, and a Victoria plum cake with plum stone-infused cream. Dishes are accompanied by specially matched wines or innovative juices designed to complement the culinary creations. In all, this is an electrifyingly unique dining experience – and a revelation for Stockport.

About

Where the light gets in is a Michelin Green-star restaurant located in Old Stockport Town, serving a selection of quality, contemporary British dishes which will make up part of your WTLGI dining experience.

Cosy, modern and inviting, this loft-style location has been thoughtfully designed to function as one large space that incorporates both the kitchen and the dining room – serving up to 30 people.

Located on the top floor of a Victorian coffee warehouse, Where the light gets in shares a thoughtfully crafted seasonal changing menu, they work closely with farmers and fishermen to ensure the story of each dish is carefully told by the team.

Due to the seasonality of the dishes, you will find a varied and changing set menu, which will include plenty of locally harvested produce depending on weather patterns and sea conditions. Customer favourites include the freshly-made sourdough bread and home-churned butter, it is worth noting that many ingredients are directly sourced from the WTLGI farm.

The set multi-course menu has been designed by head chef, Sam Buckley. If you have any specific dietary requirements the WTLGI kitchen is happy to accommodate, please contact the restaurant prior to your visit to share any needs you may have.

Where the light gets in has a good selection of wine available, all of which has been carefully and ethically sourced. Your meal can be served with paired wines, however if you’re looking for something specific from the cellar the restaurant has a good range to choose from.

Where the light gets in currently has a set price of £65.00 per head for their menu which includes a series of small plates and carefully crafted dishes.
