Barnacle

Barnacle has dropped anchor in Liverpool’s Georgian Quarter, a modern brasserie led by Paul and Harry Askew.

Set within the Grade II-listed former School for the Blind on Hardman Street, it celebrates the city’s maritime soul, threading the spirit of “Captain Barnacle Bill” through story and flavour.

Rooted in sustainability, field-to-fork cooking defines the menu, crafted with Merseyside’s finest producers and artisans. Chef's snacks might begin with Gordal olives or Navarre smoked chorizo, while oysters take a gamble in oyster roulette - a playful nod to seafaring lore. Refined openers such as burgundy ox cheek or Lisboa plaice fillet then show the kitchen’s quiet confidence.

Mains balance comfort and polish: End of the world duck breast brings depth and warmth, while salt-cured cod loin showcases precise technique. Sweets keep the course steady, from dark chocolate mousse to a selection of ice creams or sorbets.

An upscale, modern brasserie ambience completes the picture, marrying Liverpool’s heritage with contemporary finesse. Settle in for a seasonal voyage across plate and provenance for lunch or dinner - reserve your spot and let your culinary journey set sail!
