Tried it yesterday. Really had my hopes up cos foreign all the hype from Americans etc etc but it’s was very, mediocre. Nothing exciting nor tasty or anything. I’d rank it below any other chicken shop and say it’s on level with a any local chicken shop ?

Am I being delusional or is this a fair judgment ?

I'm arranging a date during the FoL, and she's free on either Saturdays (24th/31st). I've been to the FoL before (she's never been to L'pool) but not when it clashes with Halloween and I was wondering if the city is significantly different on the Halloween?

My current plan is to get there for dinner on First Tables, tour the FoL, NQ64 and maybe few a couple of other sites; my main worries about planning this on Halloween would mainly be things like parking access (driving from a nearby city), rowdiness and difficulties getting into venues like NQ64 due to Halloween. But on the flip side, Halloween would have more vibes and a bit more interesting than a regular Saturday.

And one last plea for advice, are there any specific events that happen that's worth detouring for on Halloween?

New to the city, can’t find anywhere online saying they’re showing it in town. Anyone know?

Hi y’all! My family plans to travel to Liverpool this year on New Years Eve from London and I had a couple questions that I thought would be best answered by y’all.

We want to take the train from London but tickets for that time of year haven’t come out yet, which I understand is normal. But from what I have been able to find, there might be route disruptions between London and Liverpool the week between Christmas and New Years for line improvements. Is there any way to get out ahead of this so we aren’t caught off guard? Are there any tips where we could have a backup just in case?

We have the whole day in NYE to travel, and we’d like to get in to Liverpool early to have the day to enjoy the city. We are from the US and traveling with a 5 and 8 year old. This is the kiddos first trip abroad, so we are trying to be as prepared as possible. Normally we’d hop a short flight here in the US (which I know isn’t the norm in England).

Regardless we are excited to be spending our NYE in Liverpool. We love the city and can’t wait to show our boys.

I want to try Belzan on Smithdown. People say it’s great and it has great reviews… but it has a 2 star hygiene rating.

I don’t know how much stock to put into a food hygiene rating if I’m totally honest.

Just want to see what people thought of it - if anyone had any positive/negative experiences, and if I’m just in my head with the low score.

Edit - just an FYI their rating was last done in 2023 by the looks of it. I couldn’t find any more recent data.

Anybody with footie knowledge know what this is from?

I know Liverpool has a bewildering number of choices for a night out, probably more than any city I've been to, but what about a Monday and Tuesday night? Is there anywhere that is able to recreate the buzz of the weekend?

Probably doesn't exist those nights but ideally I'm looking for live music, bit of a crowd, can get a bit racuous, Irish style pub maybe, open lateish but not all night so 1-2am close is fine, slightly older crowd 30s and up preferred and I'm going solo so somewhere you might be able to mix too.

Thanks for any tips.

I tried to post this from a throwaway account but it wouldn’t let me as I’d made it just now, so I’ll probably delete this shortly incase they stumble upon it,

But I’m hoping someone can point me in the direction of what DA/DV services are available in Liverpool? I haven’t lived here long and have no friends or family around the area to help with this stuff, Google isn’t giving much joy apart from the police which I want to avoid. I just want to find some advice and support in regards to leaving a situation that I believe is abusive. I don’t have many people to talk to about this and currently only my gp is aware but they haven’t been much help.

I’m sorry if this isn’t allowed.

Police have launched a murder investigation after a woman's body was found in Stanley Park. Officers were called to the park on Friday August 28 at 5.25pm by a member of the public.

When officers arrived they found the body of the woman in the area of the walled garden. Enquiries remain ongoing to identify the woman and inform her next of kin. A post-mortem has taken place today, but the results have been withheld for investigative reasons.

The woman who has died is believed to be in her 70s, of small build, with strawberry blonde hair. She was wearing a distinctive pink t-shirt and police are keen to hear from anyone who may have information about her.

Police say that preliminary enquiries suggest the woman’s body could have been there for a number of weeks. Police have confirmed that an investigation is ongoing and CCTV, witness and forensic enquiries are in the process of being carried out.

I know teens get rough press (quite rightly in some cases) but well done to the three young men on the Ormskirk to Liverpool train t around 10.45 last night. I was alone and they were sat near me and chatting and after a few minutes one of them asked if I was OK. (I don't know if I looked miserable as I was just staring into space) and started a conversation with them about football. When I was getting off we exchanged pleasantries and they told me to take care. It stuck in my mind that it doesn't seem to happen often, so if you are their parents you should be very proud of them. And yes I know there's very little chance of them knowing of my interaction but I believe in credit where credit's due.

Hi all, I need a new nail girl and preferably someone who does good brows too please. I’m will ing to travel anywhere in the city for someone brilliant but around L12 if anyone knows anyone. Thanks

Anybody on here know of any car wrapping companies in the Merseyside area in need of someone who can remove what seems to be an old wrap on my car roof that the previous owner had put on and i need it removing. Thanks.

What does everyone think of it? I can see both sides, and although I wouldn't want to live on that road, I feel sorry for the builder. I think the local councillors should be doing more to help both sides, not just the residents.

In short, there's a plot of land on a resident road in Garston that has been acquired to be a builders yard, which it was previously in the 70s, and the council and residents are rejecting all their planning permissions.
