"You cant give up now your just getting to the best bits of our Liverpool real ale trail at Black Lodge Brewery. This is a one of a kind beer lovers find, tucked into one of the many warehouses that are now being transformed into Liverpool’s most popular social spaces. When you arrive you are confronted by a wall of gleaming white tile devoid of marketing ploys, brands and colour."

"Sarah Hyde is an Institute of Beer & Distilling accredited Beer Sommelier and has just launched a series of beer tours in Liverpool under the UK Brewery Tours umbrella. The Microbrewery Experience Tour takes in some of the best venues within the Baltic Triangle. You’ll get to meet the brewers, sample beers and come face-to-face with the brewery equipment."

"Some of the brains behind Liverpool Craft Beer, The 23 Club and Camp and Furnace have joined forces to brew, bottle and pour some of the best and most intriguing beers the city has ever seen. Ask for the Raspberry Berliner Weisse."

"I know this list is based around what and where to eat in Liverpool, but I thought I’d mention this just because of how popular it is. Pretty much everywhere you go these days you can find somewhere selling craft beer, and Liverpool’s not really any different. We’ve got lots of places for a good drink, but the Cains Brewery seems to be the favorite of just about everyone in Liverpool at the minute."

"It's one of the most up-and-coming areas in the city and it's easy to see why when you wander around. There is a whole host of new bars, pubs and venues open across the village which was once derelict for many years. On a hot day, all the venues put out seating outside, including the Peaky Blinders bar and the Baltic Market."

"Another must-visit in the Cains Brewery Village, this alehouse is the very definition of a hidden gem. The Brewery Tap was bought by Mikhail Hotel, who wanted ‘in’ on the bright future of the happening brewery village. It’s the perfect place to head for a hoppy pale ale."

"Unusually colourful (its orange banquettes and Perspex back-bar give it a look of a 1980s Top of the Pops set), this Dale Street tap-house serves a mix of quality guest beers (Wild Beer, Mikeller, Burning Sky), and Beatnikz’ hop-forward brews, such as I Smash Citra and Generation IPA. The weekday cask ale deals are notable (recently pie ‘n’ a pint £5, Mon/Tues), as is Beatnikz’s ability to bag high-profile guests for its meet-the-brewer events. For instance Arbor Ales and US star Modern Times. Pint from £3.70, beatnikzrepublic.com"

"Beatnikz microbrewery is located in a railway arch in the Green Quarter, and their taproom used to be too. But they closed it last year and moved to a shiny new bar in the Northern Quarter where they’ve just introduced a beer slushie machine. Head in to enjoy their core range of beers."

"Hidden away in the North Docks, this tiny, unassuming café has been quietly making waves with its quality authentic Chinese food for decades. Offering “the best dumplings in Liverpool”, and regarded as a Liverpool Institution, you’ll always find your food served with a smile from Mrs San. But it’s the story behind San’s Café that makes this a truly legendary family restaurant."

"Taking it's name from the story of Kowloon, Nine Dragons offers a range of menus. Nine Dragons offers gluten free, chef's specials, banquets, and takeaway menus alongside the main menu. Reviewers have called it "simply amazing" and the "best Chinese in Liverpool"."

"Within Preston city centre, you'll find the Preston Cenotaph. The Cenotaph is a stunning Grade I listed structure, standing proud in recognition of the men who lost their lives in WWI. Designed by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott, the Cenotaph was restored in 2013 and is an important part of Preston's heritage."

"The Cenotaph stands proudly in Market Square, dedicated to solders from both World Wars. This is certainly something to remember and what better way to do so than eternalising it in your wedding photos?"

"According to chef/proprietor Eric Moreau, 63 degrees is not only the perfect temperature for coffee, but also a touchstone for cooking in the modern id ..." Read our full review"

"Keep an eye out for this one - if you blink you might miss it. The French restaurant can be found in Liverpool’s Cavern Quarter near Mathew Street and serves up authentic French food in a bistro style. The menu changes weekly to make most of the seasonal produce available, so you can go as many times as you’d like and never tire of the menu."

"137, The Orient, Trafford Park, Stretford, Manchester M17 8EQ. Cafe Rouge are a chain of French restaurants. “Whatever the time of day, we have a dish to suit your mood; from steak frites and boeuf bourguignon to a selection of croques, baguettes and vegan options too – all on our menu of classic French food with a contemporary twist.” They offer breakfast and brunch dishes such as the Grande Breakfast (two free-range eggs, two Cumberland sausages, sweet cure bacon, beans, mushroom, tomato, black pudding, sautéed potatoes and sourdough toast), Pancakes (three warm pancakes topped with your choice of sweet cure bacon, banana and maple syrup, or fresh strawberries, raspberries, blueberries and pineapple with fruit compot, and French Toast (two slices of sweet brioche bread topped with your choice of sweet cure bacon, banana and maple syrup, chocolate sauce, banana and hazelnuts or fresh seasonal fruit, honey and vanilla crème fraîche)."
