Coast Coffee – Coffee, Cake and Coasties in the Heart of Woolton Village
If you were asked to describe Coast Coffee in five words, the phrase ‘a home away from home’ couldn’t be more apt. Cosy and inviting, visiting Coast is like having a cuppa in your front room, only with much better food. The quaint, bare brick interior, wooden chairs and narrow staircases give Coast its unmistakeable character and its excellent chatty and friendly staff are what bring it to life, not to mention the magical back…

Spark ‘Lemonade’ Single Review
Let’s aim straight for the bullseye. I just love the way this tune starts with a can being opened and someone slurping down a drink – presumably lemonade. But don’t be caught out by such a jokey start, as this is a really well thought out production to a quirky off beat composition. And well worth play-list rotation. The whole enterprise works so well, from the arch lyrics, the louche laid back delivery of front…

The Quarter – Pizza, Pasta, Sangria and Bill Nighy
It isn’t just the delicious Italian style food that makes The Quarter so appealing, the authentic décor and overall ambience – whether you’re visiting for an early morning breakfast, or, like us, a romantic dinner for two – make it an enjoyable place to eat, drink and socialise. It really is a little deli style haven somewhat hiding away just off Liverpool’s prestigious and much loved Hope Street. It’s one of the very few places…

They are no strangers to testing boundaries and dipping their toes into different waters. After a series of live performances over the past…
