Food Tourism: Liverpool, UK

In case you haven’t heard, Liverpool has a bustling food scene. When most people think of food in the UK it might be London that would spring to mind, or perhaps Birmingham or even Padstow.

Review- Eala Bhán

I had first heard of Eala Bhán a few months ago after an Australian man left a rather unusual review on TripAdvisor.
