Sunshine, Garden Dining, Artisan Bakery and One of South Liverpool’s Most Versatile Hospitality Venues Are Proving an Irresistible Combination
With long sunny days encouraging more people to make the most of the outdoors, The Wheelbarrow has become one of South Liverpool’s most talked-about hospitality destinations, attracting guests looking to enjoy everything from leisurely breakfasts and garden lunches to elegant afternoon teas and memorable private celebrations.
Located on Greenbank Lane, just moments from Sefton Park, The Wheelbarrow has quietly evolved from a neighbourhood café into one of Liverpool’s most versatile all-day destinations, combining exceptional food, artisan baking and one of the area’s most attractive enclosed garden terraces.
As the summer sunshine continues, the venue’s south-facing outdoor terrace has become one of its biggest attractions, offering the perfect place to enjoy breakfast in the morning sunshine, a relaxed lunch with friends or afternoon tea while catching a few rays in peaceful surroundings away from the city centre.
With capacity for around 90 guests indoors and up to 125 guests for private events, The Wheelbarrow has also become an increasingly popular venue for baby showers, birthdays, christenings, networking events, creative workshops and family celebrations, giving guests the flexibility of a dedicated events venue within the relaxed surroundings of an
independent garden bistro.
Adding to its appeal is Frankley’s Bakery, the artisan bakery producing handcrafted breads, pastries and cakes fresh each day. The bakery supplies both The Wheelbarrow and its award-winning sister venue, The Watering Can, while also delighting customers visiting the café and its popular mobile bakery trailer around Sefton Park.
Guests can begin their day with everything from award-winning Full English and Vegetarian Breakfasts to Middle Eastern-inspired Shakshuka, indulgent Very Berry Waffles and lighter seasonal dishes, all served with artisan breads baked fresh each morning by Frankley’s Bakery.
The lunch menu is equally impressive, featuring favourites including the signature Posh Fish Finger Sandwich on Frankley’s toasted brioche, Mediterranean Wraps, Croque Monsieur, Chicken Caesar Salad, traditional Fish & Chips and a selection of seasonal dishes that continue to attract diners from across the city.
For those looking to celebrate a special occasion, The Wheelbarrow’s elegant Afternoon Tea has quickly become one of the venue’s most popular experiences, featuring handcrafted finger sandwiches, homemade scones with Champagne strawberry jam and clotted cream, freshly baked sweet treats from Frankley’s Bakery and speciality teas or coffee.
There is also a versatile event menu available for corporate and private occasions.
Keith Perryman, owner of The Wheelbarrow, said: “The Wheelbarrow has always been about creating somewhere people genuinely enjoy spending time. Whether guests are joining us for breakfast in the sunshine, lunch in the garden, afternoon tea with friends or celebrating a special occasion, we want every visit to feel relaxed, welcoming and
memorable.” He added: “Our south-facing terrace really comes into its own during the summer months. It’s one of those hidden spaces where people can switch off for a few hours, enjoy fantastic food and make the most of the sunshine. Combined with Frankley’s Bakery, our all-day menus and our growing events business, we’re delighted that more
and more people are discovering everything The Wheelbarrow has to offer.”
With free parking, beautiful outdoor spaces, handcrafted bakery products and an all-day dining experience, The Wheelbarrow has become much more than a café. It has established itself as one of South Liverpool’s most exciting lifestyle destinations – a place where exceptional breakfasts, relaxed lunches, artisan baking, afternoon tea and unforgettable
celebrations all come together in one welcoming, perfectly located venue.
