The Elephant Bakehouse Woolton; Review
Woolton Village is a funny place: leafy and quiet during the day, with its Farmer’s Market and little old cinema; hotbed of teenage drinkers and a bit like the Wild West at night. Always has been. But things are looking up. Simon Rimmer, Scouse celeb chef, massive LFC fan and inventor of pulled pork has just opened the old Elephant pub as The Elephant Bakehouse. Big refurb and it’s looking pretty again with a much…

Las Iguanas; Review
Liverpool’s finest Brazilian inspired restaurant has more than it’s delicious food to offer. During the World Cup, Las Iguanas has made the place top priority for football lovers as well as those who favour a taste of Brazilian cuisine. The restaurant was quite busy for a Tuesday evening, but we were seen to instantly and we got the best reserved seats in the house. Our waiter introduced himself and was very pleasant and helpful…

Cuthbert’s Bakehouse; Review
It was only the other day I was thinking that there isn’t enough vintage tea shops around, and then I came across a cute little bakery – right in the centre of Mount Pleasant. My friend and I were stunned when we spotted the little bakehouse, expecting a massive colourful sign that shows off and is a bit too much in your face, but instead it was a simple black sign that we almost walked…

The Brink; Afternoon Tea
The Brink has always been a favourite of ours. Since it opened in 2011 it has led the way in creating a diverse and imaginative dry bar and eatery as well as playing host to up and coming musicians and performers. It has become an integral part of Liverpool’s social scene. We headed down on a sunny Saturday afternoon in need of a sit down and some serious refreshments. Opting for the afternoon tea…

‘Maray’ The Force Be With You; Maray, Bold Street, Review
Your nan would be horrified by Maray- unfinished wooden tables, school chairs, bare concrete floor and pictures on the walls that are definitely NOT horses running through the waves on a beach. Everyone else will love it. It’s kind of ace. Achingly hip but friendly and unsnooty. Seating is mainly one long table through the middle, with some smaller tables towards the back and some bench seating round the sides. There’s a short, sharp lunchtime…

Free State Kitchen Review
Burgers. Great, aren’t they? Not on a first date or if you give even an iota about your waistline. But otherwise, they’re great. Well, they’re not great if you wanted a salad, obviously. But, taking all of that into account, they’re great. And they are pretty freekin great at the little gem that is Free State Kitchen. Nestled just off Hope St, near the Everyman, on Maryland St, its signage is pretty low key but…

‘The Best Route To Beirut’ – Bakchich Bold Street
Bold Street is booming. It has an embarrassingly good selection of places to eat right now and that is something to celebrate.

Open from 8 in the morning if you’re in need of a full Lebanese breakfast or Breakfast Beiruty, it then segues into a selection…
