Gravy-themed restaurant Different Gravy to leave Preston's new Mad Giant food hall after 2 months
A gravy themed restaurant is leaving Preston’s new food hall just two months after opening.
Different Gravy - a “gravy comfort food concept” cooked up by housemates Dylan and Demitri - opened in the Mad Giant Food Hall at the city’s Animate cinema complex in October.
But the pair have confirmed the business will close before Christmas, just two months after opening their doors.
Their final day of trading will be Sunday, December 21.
Why are they leaving Preston?
The Manchester-based duo say they have decided to opt for something ‘close to home’ in 2026.
In a statement shared on Instagram, Dylan and Demitri said: “This ones bittersweet but our residency is coming to an end.
“This week is your final chance to get your Different Gravy fix before we’re gone.
“Preston is where Different Gravy stopped being an idea and become a reality.
“You travelled miles, queued patiently, dipped, dunked, reviewed and backed us properly. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to start.
“We’ve got big plans for 2026, close to home in Manchester, so keep your eyes peeled for what’s coming next.
“So Preston, it’s not you, it’s us. Hope we can still be friends.”
Their departure leaves pizza outlet Crust and Co, Eat Like A Greek and the recently opened Cove and Crumb dessert bar as the dining venues within the food and drink hall.
