So you want free entry? With just a couple of days left before Christmas this may be your best bet! Red Door, Liverpool tweeted that no tickets are needed and no entry fee…that’s what we like to hear! You can have the option to book a table if you really wanted to by contacting Red Door themselves. This place has a few MAJOR bonus points, a short walk up bold street from the station so there’s no need for you all to be teetering long distances in heels that were only made for dancing and freezing en route. Another positive is that it’s right next to the end-of-the-night meeting point ‘The Bombed-Out Church’ where you can catch a taxi or order a pre-booked taxi for. Fabulous cocktail menu and atmosphere, with great music and entertainment from the bar staff! So you want dinner and classy drinks? Because no great story every started with a salad. Altogether a more civilised affair, but no less entertaining. Dinner with friends, ringing in the new year with a couple of drinks and then who knows where next! We like this idea, you get into town before the masses that arrive on the later trains, line your stomach and has one price that includes everything so you know where you stand! We’ve got three great restaurants we’ve picked for you that sound amazing and range in prices for your budget (one of them may be a pipe dream….but if you’re feeling flush?) Castle Street Town House Castle Street Town House has their New Year’s Eve Menu for £55 per head. This includes Amuse bouche, selection of starters which includes Roasted Tomato and Red Pepper Gnocchi, Seared Scallops and Maple glazed crispy duck. If these didn’t tempt you in alone, their mains definitely will! These include Fillet medallions, Asparagus Risotto, and Pan Fried Seabass Fillets. Divine. Desserts are included and you’ll receive an Asiette of Desserts. Now according to their Instagram and Twitter tickets are running extremely low, so call ahead to book ASAP. The nearest station would be Moorfields and they are open late with drinks and music with free entry all night long. Sounds good to us! NYL Restaurant and Bar A little pricier, here you’ll book a table for 7pm onwards for the rest of the night. The price is £64 per head however you’ll receive a drink on arrival (choice of signature cocktail, prosecco or craft beer). You’ll also receive your 3 course meal, details of what to expect are in their New Year’s Eve brochure (link above ^). You can also expect live entertainment and DJ until late; you can ring in the new year with a glass of prosecco (included) and ‘Chef’s midnight treats’, we don’t really know what these entail but they sound yummy and we are dying to find out! We’ve never been here before, but reviews have been positive and we love a bit of glitz and with a theme of New York, who wouldn’t want to spend their NYE in the big apple? The Art School Restaurant So this is the dream for the foodies out there! If you haven’t heard of The Art School then let us introduce you! Price wise at £125 per head with the optional wine flight of an additional £55 this is our pipe dream…one day, one year we’ll make it. If you want to treat yourselves, and we beg you do, this is the place to go.

We don't! What are you plans this New Year's Eve? Let us know, comment below!

We had a casual lunch at The Vincent this afternoon! Yes, we have put pictures of this on our Instagram in the past...but it is a safe bet for lunch whether you are in Liverpool or Southport. Also, I was craving a portion of their gringo sushi so it was a must for me! We went to the Southport chain (the original) and this has a hotel attached and a bar...both of which I have been and they do not disappoint, making a mean Pornstar Martini. You may have seen pictures of their unique napkins on instagram and wondered where is this place? Well, let us tell you more. Off the menu:
As we mentioned before the main reason for our visit was my need to have the Roasted Crispy Duck and Mango Gringo Sushi (gringo meaning cooked rather than raw fish like normal sushi), this is a small portion of 5 or so pieces and so I paired this with a 'small' plate of Chicken Liver Parfait, Brioche and Onion Marmalade, this was to die for and I probably could've ordered another plate of this and devoured it happily, I also had the fries with this... yes it's a weird combo but I know what I like and it's still Christmas; I'm treating myself! Our other dish was the Vincent Chicken and Bacon Club Sandwich with chunky chips. This was divine and was so big we took some home in a takeaway box. The staff were very accomodating and switched and changed around the meal as we asked and it was no trouble at all. As we've said, you know what you're getting at this restaurant, quality. It never disappoints and that's why we return every couple of months for either a quick lunch or classy drinks and a meal to catch up with the girls. Pick the Liverpool one and you can head out onto the town afterwards or pick the Southport one and go to the bar area afterwards for a few cocktails. A treat but so worth it! Lots of Love, LFG x Have you been to any of The Vincent restaurants or hotel? Let us know your thoughts x Link to website This Pan-Asian restaurant can be found on Hope Street Liverpool and is surprisingly large! We've never been before and didn't really know what to expect but food-wise we were pleasantly surprised!
Off the menu: We had quite a few dishes...unfortunately we were too hungry and dug into many of our dishes and then remembered we needed to take photos We had the Our Famous Crispy Squid (not pictured) which came with amazing chilli mayonnaise that I used as a dipping sauce with nearly everything! We had the Katsu Bao (pictured) which was buttermilk chicken, katsu mayonnaise served on a bao bun! Soooo good... wish I'd ordered two Ginger chicken stir-fry which had kaffir lime leaf and soy went down a treat! Star of the show was definitely the Deep Fried Ham Hock served with fresh chilli and master stock caramel... basically a divinely sweet sauce (I literally could've licked the plate)! We had sides of sweet potato fries, the 'Katsu Chicken Curry' and for dessert had 'Cinnamon Doughnut Fingers' which were great to share with friends! Unfortunately they didn't have the chocolate sauce and so we got extras of the condensed milk sauce and strawberry dipping sauce! Overall the food was fab! I would definitely suggest you pop in for lunch or casual dinner. However, and we will put this down to Christmas, the staff were a little lacking in enthusiasm and not as attentive as we have known elsewhere. We may give this another chance in future...if only for the ham hock goodness! Lots of Love, LFG x Have you been? Let us know your thoughts! x in for a casua Dinner last night at Hanover Street Social. Sitting in the corer of this cosy but sophisticated place we watched the people of Liverpool go by with a couple of gin cocktails in hand. We had the choice of going off the Christmas menu or the reguar menu... and although we were very jealous when the Christmas roast dinners came out with the largest yorkshire puds we've ever seen we were more than happy with our choices! Off the menu: We had the sticky BBQ glazed ribs to start (not pictured) and the Moules Mariniere which was mussels stemaed with white wine, garlic, cream and parsley with 2 pieces of the softest yet crustiest white bread which we happily soaked up this delicious sauce with! For mains we had the Sirloin Steam on toaste ciabatta which came with rocket, parmesan and hollandaise served with fries and colelsaw. I had the Roased Chicken Breast which came with fondant potato, sauteed red wine sauce with bacon and shallots...this sauce was amazing. However, the only, and we mean only, critsicm is that the potato fondant was wayyyy to small for me personally...but maybe I'm greedy? For dessert we shared the vanilla cheesecake with berry compote which came with fresh cream. Could've been sweeter for me personally but we still finished the plate happily! Very relaxed evening with good ambience and worth a try! Lots of Love, LFG x Have you been? Let us know your thoughts x We were lucky enough to stay at Titanic Hotel on Stanley Dock for an early Christmas present. The hotel is a renovated storage warehouse back from when the docks was bustling. It still keeps some of its old charm pictured here in the spa with its exposed brick and curved ceilings. With saunas, steam rooms, jacuzzis and the options for treatments you will have the most relaxing couple of hours of your life...promise! Check in was at 3pm and check out at 11pm, so we had plenty of time to indulge in the fabulous breakfast on offer! Yes, its buffet-style but definitely still luxury. The rooms are amazingly spacious; and we had the 'superior' room as part of our package which came with a free standing bath and fabulous walk-in shower with a double basin (the dream). You NEED to visit this hotel, whether your from the area or just visitng this place has it all. We are and will be again repeat-visitors. Lots of Love,
LFG x Have you been? Let us know your thoughts x We are just in love with the new Mowgli Street Food on Water Street! We went as a Christmas get together and as usual it was lovely and cosy with its amazing decor and fabulously welcoming staff. We've been here before (more than a few times actually) so check out our instagram for previous photos and reviews on the food. This post is merely just a congratulations to this newly-expanding chain of restaurants - you've done it again!. One of my favourite restaurants in Liverpool and now we have the choice of two! Set in the new-foodie-haven buisness district is this majestic restaurant, it has small restaurant vibes whilst being this chains biggest restaurant to date (it is huge). Mowgli we salute you and we'll be back soon!
