"Situated at the top of Liverpool’s thriving Bond Street, the East Avenue Bakehouse is perfect placed for shoppers, commuters and visitors to the city to enjoy. Offering freshly baked breads and the very best local produce, breakfasts here are hearty and healthy. Choose from Loch Fyne smoked salmon &eggs, English muffins with gammon, smoked bacon lardons with Bury black pudding or Local Old Rainford sausage and any way eggs."

"Much to the annoyance of customers trying to enter, you’re likely to block the front door by taking it all in when you first enter. The shop window is covered in a fantastic mural with racks of freshly baked bread and fresh herbs growing behind it with fresh flowers in slim vases on each table. There is also a flying bicycle that hangs from the roof that is in desperate need of an ET teddy attached to it."

"East Avenue Bakehouse is a kooky Bold Street eatery serving a selection of delicious homemade dishes in an unrivalled relaxed atmosphere. Every Sunday, this popular restaurant serves a traditional roast dinner using only the best local and seasonal produce from 12pm onwards. The Sunday roast is a classic with tender slices of meat, accompanied by all the trimmings and covered in lashings of gravy."

"Specialising in cakes, shakes and American candy, Treaty Pie is based in Old Swan delivering delicacies from 6pm until 11pm and midnight at weekends, with delicious desserts such as the freshly-baked, light & fluffy Banofee Waffle with a layer of banana smothered in salted caramel sauce, along with seriously good shakes – including an option to invent your own with your choice of two ingredients from a list of sweet-toothed temptation including Terry’s Chocolate Orange and Jammy Dodgers.

"If, like me, you also are a food lover then this also means you tend to fall in love with the best street food that beaches around the world have to offer. Those long periods in between surf trips are filled with days dreaming about bowls of steaming fragrant mussels;..."

"This 121-acre park was opened in 1868 and part of a set of Victorian public parks in Liverpool including Sefton Park and Stanley Park (mentioned above!). If you have a permit, you could even try a spot of fishing in the lake, how cool is that!. There’s a sports hub area for skateboarders, BMX, and scooter riders, as well as a playground if you want to relive your childhood."

"Excellent park for a decent length walk, plenty of wildlife along the way. There are many birds and a couple of foxes around dusk. There is also plenty of space and singing birds."
