Detailed itinerary

Join us for this 3-hour long food tour across one of the most famous cities in England: Liverpool! You will have a full meal in at least 4 stops. All food included!

Please, bear in mind that the tastings here described may change according to the season and the availabilities of our partners.

Stop 2

You will start your culinary journey from the Royal Albert Dock, a complex of dock buildings and warehouses where various itmes like brandy, cotton, tea or tobacco were traded in the past.

Nowadays, this place hosts museums, shops, tv studios and, of course, several eateries. That's why we will start here with a freshly baked pastry paired with a warm cup of coffee or traditional tea — a simple yet comforting introduction to the city’s café culture.

Near the Tate Liverpool, a stunning art gallery with a collection from the XVI century to contemporary art, you will discover another kind of masterpiece: artisanal fudges! Indulge in rich, handcrafted fudge made by local confectioners — a sweet treat showcasing Liverpool’s love for small-batch, flavorful creations.

Liverpool ONE is more than just a shopping center! Here there are more than 170 shops, bars and eateries, so that's why nearby you will try a sausage roll: a classic British favourite - buttery, flaky pastry wrapped around seasoned sausage meat — a perfect savoury bite while exploring the city.

Then we head for lunch, try either of the two:

Scouse: Liverpool’s signature dish, this hearty stew of tender beef, potatoes, carrots, and onions offers an authentic taste of local home cooking — a true staple of the city’s culinary heritage (vegetarian option available - discover the "Blind Scouse")

Fish & Chips: Golden, crispy battered fish served with thick-cut chips and a sprinkle of salt & vinegar — an essential stop for a timeless British seaside classic.

Cavern Quarter is probably the liveliest part of the city, featuring popular pubs, night spots and live music places. To end your culinary adventure, raise a glass with us of a refreshing local beer or crisp cider — the ideal way to toast Liverpool’s proud brewing traditions.
