Overview
This small-group walking food tour in Liverpool focuses on independent, locally owned vendors. Over about three hours, the group visits five different locations where local dishes are sampled. The tour begins at the Bluecoat, an 18th-century building now used as an arts center, where the first local dish is served. Next, the route passes through Liverpool ONE, a shopping area with a historical background, where guides share stories about the city's past. The tour continues to the Merchant’s Quarter, known for its 18th-century merchant buildings, where a friendly food vendor hosts the group. Then, it moves to Liverpool’s Chinatown, the oldest in the UK, featuring one of the largest Chinese arches and local Chinese food samples. After a stop at St Luke’s Bombed Out Church, a WW2 memorial and cultural venue, the tour goes to Ropewalks, an area with notable architecture and popular eateries, visiting one well-regarded local restaurant. The final stop is Liverpool’s Knowledge Quarter, home to a major university and several unique sites including haunted houses and an unusual grave. Two of the five food stops include alcoholic beverage pairings, with non-alcoholic options available. The tour caters to vegetarians and vegans.
