The mummy of all buffets at pyramid

DIANNE BOURNE TALKS TO THE MAN BEHIND ONE OF BIGGEST SUCCESS STORIES IN HOSPITALITY OF LAST YEAR

- 

opened, God willing, has turned out so well. We have tried our best.

Currently only three floors are in operation inside the vast pyramid, the huge ground floor restaurant and then two banqueting floors as you head up in the elevator on 1 and 2, where everything is set up for grand weddings and events with capacity for 1,000.

Mr Mahboob takes me on a walk around the other empty upper floors which boast spectacular views out across Stockport.

They've still not decided what to do with all that space - there is some talk about a fine dining restaurant on the fourth floor. But for now it remains extra storage space for the business.

There will also be a new concept on the ground floor to be announced early in 2026 which is set to cater to some of their higher end customers and VIP clients.

The iconic building was first constructed in the late 1980s as part of the ambitious 'Valley of the Kings' project in Stockport, which had aimed to see five pyramids erected along the River Mersey.

But developers went bankrupt in 1992 and so the blue pyramid we see today was the only one ever built, becoming home to the Cooperative Bank for 26 years.
