EDITOR’S LETTER It’s just weeks since Cunard’s Three Queens brought a reported 1.2 million spectators to the city region’s waterfronts and now, as the One Magnificent City programme comes to an end, Liverpool is preparing for yet another fun-packed weekend. This issue takes a closer look at Liverpool’s Transatlantic 175 finale on 4-5 July. And whilst we bid farewell to one major celebration, there’s plenty to look forward to with the arrival of the new Exhibition Centre Liverpool. We caught up with ACC Liverpool to find out what the new events space will mean for the city. Meanwhile, not all eyes have been on Liverpool’s waterfront. The ongoing regeneration of Granby Four Streets has been attracting interest from art awards to the world’s press. We explore how the community and partnering organisations have achieved such success.

issue 14 / June 2015
Have you picked up our NEW newspaper?
Abode Liverpool is going from strength to strength. We pride ourselves as a highly innovative estate agency who are growing at a fast pace. We were founded in 2012 by 4 property developers and professional landlords, who wanted to provide a service that they expected. The company has been so successful it now employs over 50 staff, has over 600 properties on the market for sale, and manages over 400 properties in lettings. Our owners are financial advisers
and we offer mortgages from the whole of the market. It is the only independent estate agent to offer full city coverage, with our stunning offices in Crosby and Allerton. We understand exactly what service a customer would like to experience when buying, selling or letting a home, and because of that understanding we treat our customers how we would like to be treated ourselves. We have a fantastic commitment to customer service, so much so we would like to think of ourselves as customer obsessed. This paper is the next stage in our journey. We are aware that we already advertise more than any other agent. We are consistently in the Echo, Merseymart, Your Move Magazine, Crosby Midweek visiter, and have a fantastic online presence with Zoopla and Rightmove. With this paper we will now put your property in 240,000 homes each and every year, an offering no other agent can or will match.
Our 2 awards
In all their glory at our awards party. Both received for customer service and both fully deserved!
For a free valuation call us on 0151 601 3003
What a night for us, we did the double
In all seriousness to win Best Estate Agency for Customer Service and Best Lettings Agency for Customer Service in my home city within 3 years of starting this business is phenomenal. We are chuffed. People thought I was slightly mad to open an estate agents in the middle of a recession but I knew what we had to do to be the best, and now our hard work and endeavour has got us
there. The award is a reflection of our ambition to be different to all other agents. This was an ambition of mine and was born out of frustration. The frustration of a property developer and landlord, who regularly used estate agents and wasn’t happy with service I was getting. So much so, I knew I could do it better and decided to open my own Estate Agents. Knowing and understanding what customers want is fundamental to where we are today. I want to thank all of our customers, for initially daring to choose a different agent with a different approach, and a special mention for all those who’ve recommended us to their friends and family. I also want to say a big thank you to all our staff, both past and present, from our apprentices to our management team, you’ve all contributed in your own way and we are extremely grateful.

G
ranby Four Streets had still been getting to grips with the international press interest whipped up by a prestigious Turner Prize nomination for work on its regeneration project, when it was then shortlisted for another top accolade. The Academy of Urbanism Awards, which recognises ‘great places’ across the UK and Europe, had also given a nod to the area’s so far successful transformation by confirming that Cairns Street is in the running for its ‘Great Street Award’ title. Whilst such recognition has highlighted the character and potential of the small district for people outside of the city; for members of the area’s diverse and passionate community it has simply reaffirmed the strengths they’ve always known and have fought to maintain. Following decline in the ‘70s and ‘80s, Granby Four Streets faced “continual attempts to knock the place down,” which were contested by a Granby Residents Association group. Then from the early 2000s it came up against a government Housing Market Renewal (HMR) programme which looked set to remove the original properties in a bid to revitalise a failing housing market. “They’d decided that the market in old terraced houses had died and needed to be replaced by a new market and new houses,” explains campaigner Ronnie Hughes, a board member of the Granby Four Streets Community
Land Trust (CLT) who insists that such a move would have “utterly destroyed the community” which has now done much to maintain the area itself, be it painting and decorating tinned sheets on derelict properties or nurturing plants in communal areas. The CLT was formed in 2011 after the HMR programme had ended, so that residents could come up with ways to renovate the existing properties and transform the area. “As luck would have it, the programme had just failed and been stopped,” says Ronnie. ”There was absolutely no money and no chance of anything happening but the good fortune was that the city council didn’t even have the money to knock [the properties] down. “Our ideas were that the place shouldn’t be farmed out to any single developer but developed in little affordable chunks, that some of the land should come to the CLT but make sure that for the first time the people in the area had an actual legal stake in the future, there should be a co-op or two in there, and there should be a mix of tenures so that it wasn’t all people in the most desperate circumstances.” Despite an attempt by Liverpool City Council to tender the regeneration of the whole site to one developer, which in the end never went ahead, the CLT continued “talking to anyone who would listen” in its determination to achieve its vision for Granby Four Streets. Last year, with the city council onside, plans finally

Clockwise from far left: Four Streets homes are being revitalised; Granby street market mural; the team from London-based architects Assemble
started coming together. “We’ve got this partnership of ourselves and the community, Plus Dane and Liverpool Mutual Homes (LMH), and Steinbeck Studio which is a private developer but has also loaned the CLT some of its funding at very cheap rates.” The Northern Alliance Housing Co-operative and individual investors who purchased properties through the council’s ‘Homes for £1’ pilot programme are also breathing new life into vacant properties, as investment into Granby

properties along each of the streets apart from Ducie Street, where a well-supported monthly street market is currently held and work by a private developer is not yet underway, demand for the revived houses is said to be strong, particularly among those who have previously lived in or have links with the streets. LMH has already seen eight tenants move into new-look rental properties and will also be selling some houses through Shared Ownership. One of its tenants, 21-year-old Kelsey Parris,
properties “continues to grow”. For the CLT though, which is reworking 10 of the empty properties into houses itself for affordable rent and Shared Ownership, interest has been expressed from much further afield. The trust assigned London-based architects Assemble to help revive the buildings, and the work has helped the practice win a place on the shortlist for the coveted art accolade, the Turner Prize. “We did, in the immediate aftermath of the Turner Prize shortlist, get applications for housing from people from as far away as Amsterdam, which we’ve all knocked back because it’s about Liverpool people,” says Ronnie. “What’s happened so far is this huge media storm, but with regards to wanting to come and live in the houses, even though for years people were saying people don’t want to live there or in those kinds of houses anymore, we’ve had no trouble [with demand] at all. Everybody wants to live there because, if you think about it, it’s only a mile from the city centre, it’s right next to Liverpool Women’s Hospital and universities and it’s also 50 yards from Princes Park.” In addition to far-flung housing applications and an international media spotlight though - in recent weeks the Four Streets have drawn interest from a French TV crew, a German journalist and the New York Times as well as the BBC and local press – the CLT is also hopeful that new broader attention prompted by the art world can help open up new funding streams to realise more of its vision. “We’ve got Heritage Lottery money starting to come to us now,” adds Ronnie, looking ahead to the next steps of the project. “We’re working on ideas but we want to get the shops done because, maybe by the middle of next year, we’ll have 200 sparkly new, well-done houses with a derelict corner shop at the end of every street and that just won’t work. “Also, in their drawings our architects Assemble made a vision of a winter garden. We’ve always suspected there might be one or

Four Streets homes amounts to around £14 million. “Something very special is happening in the Four Streets, led as much by the people of these streets as anyone else,” says Deputy Mayor, Councillor Ann O’Byrne. “They’ve both suggested and helped to knit together the partnership of organisations, including the city council, currently working to turn Granby into one of the most exciting places to live in the whole city.” With builders currently on site to refurbish

two houses that are too far gone to do up as houses, but we never thought we’d actually be able to do Assemble’s dream because it was going to cost money and we didn’t want to take any money off the housing. “Now we think we might be able to get the funding through one of these art channels we’ve never approached before and actually build a winter garden. That will help us preserve the street planting that’s always happened and will also provide us with a place of interest to bring visitors to the area.”

GRADE II-LISTED MEWS EXPECTED TO DRAW ‘PLENTY OF INTEREST’ AT AUCTION
Pedal power is helping staff to achieve lettings success at one environmentally friendly Liverpool agency. Bluerow Lettings, based on Duke Street in Liverpool city centre, has recently invested in three bikes so that staff can cycle to local viewings, in a bid to be more ‘green’. The eight-strong team still has the use of cars to attend meetings that are further afield, but managing director Helen Booth says the new initiative is already helping them to make their way around the city more easily. The bikes are just the latest method of reducing the branch’s carbon footprint for Bluerow, as Helen explains: “We already try to be green and we’re aiming to be a paperless office, which is our plan for the next two years. We are conscious of our print.” The Bluerow staff attended a training day to prepare them for cycling as part of their day to day jobs, and the event inspired two members of the team to purchase their own bikes. Helen adds: “It’s already having a good effect!”
The barn conversion dates back to 1661
A vacant Grade II-listed barn conversion dating back to 1661 will go under the hammer in Liverpool this month. The mews property in Sefton Village is expected to be one of the highlights of Sutton Kersh’s 16 July auction, when it takes place at the Marriott Hotel in Liverpool city centre. Benefitting from from central heating, a garage and an open aspect to the rear, the property has a guide price of £220,000 to £240,000. Cathy Holt, joint head of auctions at Sutton Kersh, says: “This is a unique property close to Maghull town centre, with easy access to the M57 and M58 motorway connection, and the main A59
into Liverpool city centre. I expect there to be plenty of interest.” Other residential and student investment opportunities set to feature in the 93-lot sale include a three-bedroom semi-detached house on Bowring Park Road with a guide price of £125,000 plus; and a three-storey student investment on St Bride Street, close to university campuses, which is currently let to six students and generates £31,171 per annum. It comes with a £350,000 plus guide. The event starts at 12 noon, and the full catalogue is available to view online at www.suttonkersh.co.uk/auctions-property. Your Move 47

HOME NEWS ANDREW LOUIS APPOINTED TO MARKET NEW HOMES TO INVESTORS Liverpool-based Andrew Louis is bringing a ‘significant’ number of properties to the market for investors, having been appointed to work on prominent new build schemes in the city. The agent is working with Knight Knox to market apartments in X1’s Liverpool ONE properties for graduates and students, and also the developer’s Terrace at The Quarter range of apartments. According to managing director Louis Anastasiou, the opportunities at the sites are an example of the good value propositions that are currently attracting some investors to move from the capital to Liverpool.
He says: “The Liverpool market is on the move and there are so many developments. We’re finding a lot of people that would have invested in the London market are coming to the North West now and we should embrace new investors coming to the city.” Louis adds that demand for Liverpool ONE and Terrace properties, which guarantee three years’ rent for investors at a 6.7% NET yield, has been “strong” so far, with the Terrace recently attracting six reservations in one week. For more information contact Andrew Louis on 0151 330 5321.

The new ‘Langley’ and ‘Latchford’ styles which, across both designs, aim to incorporate features for a “broad spectrum of buyer”, have been launched following the developer’s redesign of its detached properties. Jones Homes considered feedback from customers before briefing architects to create its new range of houses and specifications for 2015. The Langley show home design showcases a three-bedroom semi-detached property, while Latchford displays a five-bedroom detached 48 Your Move
family house with a double garage at the development, where two, three, four and fivebedroom properties are currently available. Denise Caldwell, sales and marketing director at Jones Homes, says: “The new showhomes at Eccleston Grange are simply stunning. The interior designer has done an excellent job and we are thrilled with the results.” Homes at the site, which is close to M6 and M62 motorway links, are available through the government-backed Help to Buy scheme.

Green light expected for school site homes An application to convert the former site of Gateacre Community Comprehensive School into 200 homes has been recommended for approval. Liverpool City Council’s planning committee will meet on 7 July to discuss the plans, which will see the school building demolished to make way for three, four and five-bedroom homes on the land on Grange Lane. Countryside Properties will spend £2.8 million on the remediation of the site, parts of which have previously been used for landfill, and plans to introduce new landscaping and tree planting once the homes are complete. The report by the head of planning recommends the scheme for approval, and says: “The head of planning considers that the proposed residential development is acceptable in principle as it would be located in a sustainable location, would be attractively designed and contribute to the range of housing stock available in the locality.” The school was built in the 1950s but has been empty since 2011, when Gateacre Community Comprehensive School was moved to a new site. A proposal from Bellway Homes to build 98 homes on the site of the former Police Club on Prescot Road has also been recommended for approval at the meeting.

INDUST RY N EWS Join tenancy deposit scheme or risk penalty, warns law firm Landlords in Merseyside who have not registered tenancy deposits could face a substantial penalty, a Liverpool law firm has warned. Following new legislation which came into force on 23 June, Mike Carter landlords and agents are obliged to protect all tenancy deposits including those that date back to before April 2007. Due to amendments made to the Deregulation Act, all tenancy deposits now fall under deposit protection law and therefore must be protected through one of the government approved schemes: My Deposits, the Deposit Protection Act or the Tenancy Deposit Scheme. Deposit protection was set up to protect both landlords and tenants and to
Andy Walker at Forth Homes’ West Derby development
make the private renting sector more transparent. The measure is also used to mediate disputes between landlords and tenants and deposits are kept under the protection scheme until the dispute is settled. Landlords who have failed to register tenancy deposits in an accredited scheme could now face a fine of up to three times the amount of the initial deposit. Furthermore, landlords are only able to serve a section 21 eviction notice if the tenancy deposit has been protected. Mike Carter, head of conveyancing at Paul Crowley & Co Solicitors, says: “The new tenancy deposit ruling is a positive step in regulating the ever growing private lettings sector. “The new regulation should clear up any confusion in relation to protecting tenancy deposits, but I would encourage any landlords with concerns, or tenants who feel they are eligible to make a claim, to seek professional advice as soon as possible.”
NEW DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR TO HELP PROGRESS LIVERPOOL HOUSING PARTNERSHIP A new development director at Redrow will take a lead role in delivering the firm’s housing programme for the new Liverpool Housing Partnerships.
FORTH HOMES WELCOMES NEW CONSTRUCTION MANAGER TO ITS GROWING TEAM Merseyside-based housing developer Forth Homes has strengthened its team with a new construction manager as it keeps up with growing demand. Andy Walker, who has previously worked for Bellway Homes and Shepherd Construction, is the latest addition to the company which is said to be “recruiting experts in various fields of the industry”. A spokesperson for Forth Homes, which is acquiring land for new developments across the North West and recently announced work is about to get underway on a luxury scheme in Aintree, says: “Forth Homes is delighted to have Andy on board and is confident that he has the knowledge and enthusiasm to help the company achieve its long-term goal of becoming a nationally recognised brand.” In his new role, Andy will oversee and supervise construction operations across Forth Homes’ developments, as well as offering support and assistance to the firm’s newly formed customer care department and contributing to its aftercare management. Following the appointment, Andy says: “My experience in the construction industry will bring improved structure and procedures to the company whilst also allowing me to develop and grow into an all-round construction professional.”
The housebuilder joined forces with Liverpool City Council and Liverpool Mutual Homes to deliver 1,500 new homes and bring a further 1,000 back into use around the city, and new team member Faye Whiteoak is set to focus on the schemes as well as having a watching brief on other Liverpool developments. Following her appointment Faye, who is an architect by profession and has previously worked as a regional director for Gleeson, says: “The Liverpool Housing Partnership is an ambitious and challenging initiative and I love that it is a long-term, forward thinking plan to bring much needed, high quality new homes to the city. I am also excited by the ‘can do’ attitude of all the partners with everyone totally committed to delivering the programme.” Under the Liverpool Housing Partnership umbrella Redrow, which is creating a new satellite office in Liverpool’s iconic Cunard Building, will provide a range of private executive homes as well as identifying and acquiring land to enhance the city council’s development sites. The city council will provide strategic planning and housing need information, as well as selling surplus land to the partnership for development. Land and investment will be brought together in a planned way, with any capital receipts generated by the sale of council sites and assets reinvested back into the Faye Whiteoak partnership.

ONE IFICENT MAGN CITY
WORDS BY STEPHEN HURRELL
PARTY PORT IN TH E
THE ONE MAGNIFICENT CITY CELEBRATION IS COMING TO AN END WITH A WATERFRONT EVENT LIKE NO OTHER TO CELEBRATE THE FIRST TRANSATLANTIC CRUISE CROSSING BY CUNARD’S BRITANNIA YEARS AGO LIVERPOOL IS HOSTING A WATERFRONT CELEBRATION ON AND JULY
56 Your Move
Beverley Hills Cops films, traditional American ice cream, a burger stand serving patties with sunny side up eggs, hash browns and truffle mushroom mayonnaise, and even a special Mississippi Mud Pie. Simon says the festival will have a fishy focus. “Above the waves we’re celebrating this epoch-changing event, this connection between two continents,” he explains. “Beneath the waves it’s something that’s been happening since the dawn of time. I do think it’s an incredible story to tell about the salmon’s 5,000-mile journey across the Atlantic through food, storytelling and street theatre and scientists from the University of Liverpool.”
“IT HAS BEEN TRULY INTERNATIONAL TO MAKE THIS WORK AND THE LEVEL OF COLLABORATION HAS BEEN BRILLIANT. IT’S THE END OF AN INCREDIBLE FEW WEEKS.” Local bakers are currently cooking up replicas of some of Liverpool and New York’s most iconic buildings in cake form, from the Empire State Building to Crosby’s Another Place sculptures. Visitors will be able to see a giant map created using the cakes on Sunday 5 July at Mann Island. Claire McColgan, meanwhile, suggests the event is the latest in Liverpool’s big festival resurgence, and more is to come over the summer months. “It has been truly international to make this work and the level of collaboration has been brilliant,” she says. “It’s the end of an incredible few weeks which have been all about ships. But we haven’t got time to be sad, because it’s straight into planning for the city’s music festivals!”

rom the after dark culture bonanza during LightNight and Cunard’s Three Queens to a handpainted duck trail and a Maritime Festival, the city has embraced its sea-faring past in spectacular style. The final farewell to the seven-week celebration will see the waterfront transformed into a vintage party to celebrate 175 years of cruise travel across the Atlantic. Renowned designer Wayne Hemingway is curating the festival, which will see three distinct celebrations take over the waterfront on 4 and 5 July – all against the backdrop of the Queen Mary 2, which returns to the city to recreate the original voyage to the US 175 years ago. Liverpool will try to set a Guinness World Record when over 5,000 models are expected to take part in the Very Big Catwalk on 4 July – and the public are invited to dress to impress and head down to the Pier Head to take part. “It’s a culmination of a fantastic seven weeks and it is fitting to celebrate 175 years,” says Claire McColgan, assistant director, culture and tourism at Liverpool City Council. “We’ve never done a big fashion event in this city as a major event and this feels like it’s a long time coming. This city is known for its fashion and music and its ability to have a great party. Everyone needs to come dressed to the nines.” The catwalk will appear alongside a Classic Car Cavalcade, featuring over 175 classic cars and a handpicked selection of modern supercars. The night will end with a Disco on the Dock and a fireworks display as the Queen Mary 2 leaves the river to recreate the first sailing from Liverpool to Boston and Halifax. Meanwhile, Wayne Hemingway’s Vintage Festival will take over Albert Dock with stalls selling clothes, arts and crafts and everything in between. Finally, sandwiched between the two events is the Eat the Atlantic Festival. A food festival curated by innovative chef Simon Preston, the stalls will showcase local companies’ wares with an American twist. Highlights include an American coffee cart serving Serge – an espresso with a twist of lemon made famous by the

longside the catwalk, classic cars, food feast and vintage festival, a host of fringe events will be taking place throughout the city on 4 and 5 July. “This is how far culture has come in this city,” says Claire McColgan. “It’s not just the city leading on events, but private enterprises like Liverpool ONE. It’s stretching the event’s footprint and it’s brilliant.”
PARADISE AT THE GARAGE Wayne Hemingway and DJ Greg Wilson give a nod to New York’s dance music culture with a club night on 4 July at Baltic Triangle venue The Garage. Expect music from both sides of the Atlantic in this homage to 1970s club culture.
GHOSTS IN THE AMERICAN DREAM Liverpool writer and journalist, David Charters will be holding a talk entitled Ghosts in the American Dream on 4 July at Liverpool Register Office. The talk will look at Native American history including icons such as Sitting Bull and Geronimo. Entry is £5 and the talk begins at 2.30pm.
LIVERPOOL CATHEDRAL CONCERTS The Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra will hold two special concerts on 4 July. It is a fitting event, given the orchestra is also celebrating its 175th anniversary, and will take place in the spectacular surroundings of the cathedral.
THE CROSSING Part of a ‘sound scape’, The Crossing in Liverpool ONE is a sea-themed sound installation created by Martyn Ware of Heaven 17 and formerly The Human League. On 5 July the installation will be removed, so the weekend is the last chance to enjoy this unique experience.
ART GALLERY ENTERTAINMENT The Albert Dock culture hub, Tate Liverpool will host live jazz performances on 4 and 5 July, including jazz and funk music and an American-themed brunch menu. The retro event is being held alongside the new Jackson Pollock: Blind Spots exhibition.

Inspired by the programme of events happening this summer to celebrate Cunard’s 175th anniversary, the Summer Ball followed a glamorous cruise ship theme.

THE OPENING OF ACC LIVERPOOL’S M EXHIBITION CENTRE SEES THE EYES OF THE WORLD REMAIN FIRMLY ON LIVERPOOL’S ICONIC WATERFRONT FOLLOWING THE SPECTACULAR CUNARD ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATIONS YOUR MOVE CAUGHT UP WITH TIM BANFIELD COMMERCIAL DIRECTOR OF ACC LIVERPOOL WHICH OPERATES EXHIBITION CENTRE LIVERPOOL BT CONVENTION CENTRE AND ECHO ARENA TO FIND OUT MORE
YM HOW WILL THE EXHIBITION CENTRE DIFFER FROM THE CONVENTION CENTRE OR ARENA? At its simplest level Exhibition Centre Liverpool gives us more space to bring more events and exhibitions to Liverpool. We have some conferences and exhibitions that loved the venue and the city but whose events had outgrown the current arena and convention centre facilities and we can now welcome these events back. The new venue doubles our available exhibition floor space as well as being able to host standing concerts for 6,000 people which gives us the flexibility to host multiple events of different genres across all three venues. Exhibition Centre Liverpool is purpose built which means we have been able to design it to ensure it contains all the facilities exhibition organisers need as well as providing resources and support to help them bring their events to Liverpool. It’s down to simple things like the access to the exhibition floor for set up to get their vehicles in. HAVE YOU SEEN MORE INTEREST FROM BIGGER EVENTS SINCE THE EXHIBITION CENTRE WAS ANNOUNCED? The development of Exhibition Centre Liverpool has been key for us winning exhibitions and large trade conferences that had outgrown our current capacity. This includes; the Labour Party We have the advantage that all three venues are inter-connected, so organisers can use all three venues together if needed. WHAT WILL THE CENTRE MEAN FOR LIVERPOOL AND ITS PEOPLE? In our first 12 months we expect to bring £20 million of economic impact to the city with a programme of 40 events and another 150,000 visitors It’s not only a great addition to the city but also for the residents of the city with a great mix of consumer events where people can do anything from have a great girls’ day out to see some amazing toys with all the family, so there’s something for everyone to find their passion.
THE TELEGRAPH CRUISE & TRAVEL SHOW 17-18 October 2015
The perfect event for travel enthusiasts, visitors will be able to access an ocean of helpful information from cruise and travel experts and take part in a range of holiday activities from wine tasting to cocktail making.
CAN YOU TELL OUR READERS SOMETHING THEY MAY NOT KNOW ABOUT THE CENTRE? - It includes over 2,000m sq m of glass we need to clean before we can open - We actually started planning for Exhibition Centre Liverpool 18 months after we opened ACC Liverpool - With over half a million man hours now worked at the site of the new Exhibition Centre Liverpool and Pullman Hotel development, ISG our construction partner has calculated that once completed, the project will have contributed around £169 million to the regional economy - Our logo reflects the shape of the building
“ WE HAVE SOME CONFERENCES AND EXHIBITIONS THAT LOVED THE VENUE AND THE CITY BUT WHOSE EVENTS HAD OUTGROWN THE CURRENT ARENA ” YOU’VE ALREADY ANNOUNCED THE CALENDAR OF EVENTS SO FAR DO YOU HAVE ANY BIG SURPRISES UP YOUR SLEEVE THAT HAVE YET TO BE ANNOUNCED? We have a great launch programme and we look forward to welcoming people to Exhibition Centre Liverpool but we have more great events to come. A lot of shows are booking up to two years in advance but we can’t tell you what yet so follow us on Facebook or Twitter or sign up on ExhibitionCentreLiverpool.com to be one of the first to know. WHAT IS PLANNED FOR THE OFFICIAL OPENING? We open our doors on 2 September with our first exhibition and that’s the start of our strong programme already announced until the end of the year.

& FEAST OF FESTIVITIES The festival season is in full swing across Merseyside and, whilst there’s plenty in store in the way of live music and entertainment, foodies will also get to take a bite of the action. We’ve picked out some food and drink highlights on the region’s calendar over the summer weeks ahead.
NORTH WEST FOOD LOVERS FESTIVAL 3-5 July, Stanley Park Jean Christophe Novelli and Simon Rimmer will lead a line-up of expert chefs delivering demonstrations at this three-day family foodie event. Bringing together more than 120 exhibitors, this event will feature kids cooking classes, rides and entertainment alongside the opportunity to pick up some delicious treats from around the region.
FORMBY FESTIVAL 17-19 July, Duke Street Park, Formby Budding young chefs and grown up foodies alike will be in for a culinary treat during this packed food, drink and music festival. There’ll be demonstrations from skilled chefs, a bake-off for all ages and also a kids’ cooking zone, as well as a host of other activities and live entertainment.
LAZY GRAZE STREET FOOD FESTIVAL IN THE PARK 26 July, Isla Gladstone Conservatory, Stanley Park Up to 15 local street food stalls will be serving up delicious delights during this free family event. They’ll also be accompanied by live performances from home grown acoustic music acts during the 11am-3pm festivities.
LIVERPOOL LOVES FOOD 6-8 August, Pier Head As the inaugural Liverpool Loves festival takes over the waterfront food will, of course, be high on the agenda. Specific announcements are still in the pipeline, but organisers are planning healthy eating events and workshops whilst also rounding up some of the region’s finest food and drink traders.
TEQUILA & MEZCAL FEST 8-9 August, Maritime Museum Heading to Liverpool for the first time, this festival promises to bring the finest tequila and mescal, along with authentic Mexican food, art and handcrafted products and live entertainment with a Mariachi band. There’ll also be chance to try out other drinks including Bacanora, Raicilla and Sotol.
CAU
Castle Street, L2 From gourmet burgers to fried chicken and ribs, Liverpool’s restaurant scene has become a carnivore’s heaven of late. So when news of a new Argentinian eatery with beef taking centre stage on its menu began to circulate, it sounded as though the city’s meat-heavy offering was set to receive a further boost. As it turns out though, there’s more to CAU than meat. My dining partner and I took our table in the vibrant Castle Street addition on a surprisingly busy Wednesday evening and wasted no time in scouring the varied menu. Firstly we tackled the drinks selection – a broad array from cocktails, shakes and smoothies to authentic Argentinian beers and wines. As it was midweek, I opted for the Virgin Mojito (£2.50) – a lime, apple and mint mix which still packed a punch despite its lack of alcohol – while my dinner date supped a thirst-quenching Quilmes Lager (£3.95). Our waiter guided us through the food - a choice of burgers, salads, steaks and big plates incorporating meat, fish and vegetarian options – and I was won over by the enthusiasm for the restaurant’s pride and joy; its grass-fed Argentinian beef. Easing into the feast gently, I started with tomato and goats’ cheese bruschetta
REVIEW BY NATASHA YOUNG
(£3.75) before moving onto a main of 220g rump steak (£13.95) with salad and the addition of chimichurri sauce (£1.50), which was hailed as “Argentinian steak’s best friend”. The tasty bruschetta arrived ‘burnt’ in a traditional style, with the goats’ cheese delightfully gooey. My main lived up to the hype; the steak was cooked to my chosen ‘medium’ perfection and oozing with juices. The chimichurri sauce didn’t disappoint either, adding a flavoursome freshness to the red meat. Crispy shallots gave my side salad extra bite. Meanwhile, my dining partner started with belly of pork tempura (£7.95), which softened the blow of his first choice main - twice cooked pork belly - being unavailable that evening. Served with sweet CAUchup, the crispy coating was beautifully light and filled with tender pork. For main, he chose the market fish of the day (£14.50) – sea bream with chorizo and clams – and a tomato salad side (£3.95). The flavours of the generous dish complemented each other well and, although in
terms of portions the side wasn’t necessary it was a refreshing addition. We could just about make room to try something from the dessert menu, which was infused with Argentinian delicacies. Without hesitation, my partner picked the PinaCAU-La Da Pudding (£5.25). The grilled pineapple dish was a tropical treat as rum caramel gave a boozy kick, cooled by coconut sorbet. I, however, found it difficult to steer from my cheesecake obsession and chose CAU’s take on the classic, served with caramelised banana. It was smooth, creamy and accompanied by a thick smear of caramel. Whilst it tasted delicious, it was too big to finish. Having obliviously whiled away a couple of hours in CAU – which seems to have struck the balance between a relaxed lunch or after-work haunt and a chic destination for special occasions and nights out – it was time to bring our visit to an end. But the freshness and quality of the food coupled with staff ’s attentive service and knowledge of the menu was enough to get us thinking about returning.
