Grove Beer Tap & Grill; Review
Summer will soon be round the corner and what’s better than to enjoy your warm days than in a snazzy beer garden? The Grove Beer Tap & Grill came as a surprise to me when I arrived, I’ve never stepped foot in a bar that had that sort of Caribbean feel to it. And to top it all off, they specialise in fruit beers, and believe me, they are definitely worth exploring. My partner and…

'Barley & Beans' Cafe & Bar; Review
Barley & Beans is a relaxed and informal place in a quieter area of town. A stone’s throw from Moorfields and the Ship & Mitre (a mighty fine real ale pub), the menu boasts one of the most authoritative breakfast/brunch selections in the city. As the proprietor states, breakfast should not be wasted, confined to the am. Afternoon breakfast should not be the sole domain of the bleary-eyed, hungover student. If you want Eggs Benedict…

Chiquito's Restaurant Review
Liverpool has plenty of restaurants, a variety of different places from cool independents to more established names. What Liverpool doesn’t have is a Chiquitos and that’s a little bit heartbreaking. However, if you’re willing to put in a bit of leg work then you can be greatly rewarded at either their Ellesmere Port Restaurant or as we chose, their Southport location. A firm favourite of ours, we were excited to learn that they had launched…

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.

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…
