Pattersons

In the heart of Liverpool City Centre, Pattersons on Gradwell Street has carved out a loyal following for creative comfort food done with swagger.

This independent hangout deals in big flavours and bigger personalities, pairing quality ingredients with the carefree spirit of modern street food. It is relaxed, down-to-earth and unmistakably local, the sort of place where the napkins arrive first and the smiles follow.

The menu leans indulgent and playful: loaded fries such as piggy smalls come smoky and sticky, while stacked burgers like the flying pig with fried chicken and pulled pork BBQ, and fire cracker with jalapenos keep the crunch-to-juiciness ratio just so.

Wings swing from classic buffalo to honey sriracha, and small plates like popcorn chicken and chicken tenders, invite dipping, sharing and second helpings. For full-on feasts, the salt n pepa sharer and piled-high nachos bring colour, heat and heartiness to the table, with slaw and sauces for balance.

Sweet tooths are rewarded with cheesecake or Dre’s Brownies, a cosy curtain call after all that crunch and glaze.

Gather your crew, bring an appetite and settle in for comfort food with character. Book ahead, roll up your sleeves, and let Pattersons show you its fried and true.
