Aye, you townies wouldn't understand country ways. Anyway, got to go, that fence o'er t'other side o' fifty acre won't mend itself, then I've got badgers to strangle and tenants to evict ...

Just spotted this.
Well, it was all a bit manic, workwise, so didn't get to Maggie May's unfortunately.
Sadfish introduced us to the Egg Café, a veggie place, which was a very nice relief after the rather unrelenting gloss and shine and trendiness of the area nearest the hotel.
We visited Bistro Franc on the Saturday we got there – were lucky to get in anywhere at all. Several places were too full. That was quite decent.
Ate at the hotel a couple of times (mixed) and the best meal of the week was at the Hanover Street Social.
The Docklands Fish and Chips on the Albert Dock became a lunchtime pilgrimage – scallops! And things ordered in "a barm" (runs away and hides).
Thank you to everyone for suggestions – I'm back there again in November, so might get a little more chance to pick something from the recommendations.

All a bit posh for me. Veggie too (yuk!).
Mind you, scallops shows you have some taste!

Try the Baltic Fleet just over the road from the Albert Dock. I grew up in the city and it has been my favourite pub there since I can remember. They brew all their own ales in the basement and tunnels below and they almost always serve Lobscouse, with a crusty cob etc. I moved out to NZ about a decade ago but still manage to get back to Liverpool every couple of years and the Baltic is always my first pub to visit. It hasn't changed much really.
