Cheap Places to Eat in Whitley

"With its famous cherry tree in permanent, soft pink bloom in the main dining room, Tattu makes a picture-perfect backdrop for a romantic meal for two. Its menu is also perfect for sharing, with a selection of dim sum and small plates including waygu dumplings with kimchi and spring onion, chicken truffle shumai, and chilli and sesame roasted scallops. Its cocktails are spectacular too - try the Samurai's Garden, a smoking carafe of gin, rose and tonic for two to share (£40)."

"One of the most impressive puddings in Manchester, this adorable option from luxe Chinese restaurant Tattu was designed to be eyed-up as much as to be eaten. The chocolate pagoda has become a regular fixture on Instagram grids and it's not hard to see why. The dinky little structure is in the running to be the city's most delicious dessert, promising soft brownie or hazelnut sponge cake and silky sauces."

"We already know that Tattu is a swoon-worthy date night bar in Manchester, but did you know this place serves a quirky cocktail featuring a mini cherry blossom tree inside it?. Sip on this and plenty of other unique mixes while grazing on Pan-Asian plates for the ultimate experience."

"Fittingly on Maryland Street, just off Baltimore, the Free State Kitchen is Liverpool's primary exponent of US "dude food": hotdogs, Reuben sandwiches, buffalo wings, chilli fries and, of course, burgers. Its cheeseburger is a vastly improved doppelganger for the McDonald's classic, right down to the exceptionally light, soft but durable bun and (what tastes like a Kraft) cheese slice on top. Of course, the patty is much tastier than anything you will find on the high street: loosely packed, juicy, precisely chargrilled, it persuasively asserts its beefy flavour over the ketchup, mild mustard and onion."

"This Maryland street diner offers American-style food including delicious burgers and tasty hot dogs. A personal favourite of ours is the Diego Dog with Jalapeño, covered in garlic salsa with cheddar and caramelised onions, but we also love the twist on the classic New York style Pastrami sandwich, the Reuben. With great value for money, a calm, friendly atmosphere and a hidden sunny terrace, there is no reason you shouldn’t check out this chic diner."

"Free State Kitchen’s Garden is the perfect little hidden gem to soak up the sun in with a drink and a burger with your mates. Make sure you book your table so you don’t miss out. View this post on Instagram"

"These tasty, tasty burgers might well make you temporarily lose all memory of table manners as you try, desperately, to cram them into your mouth. It might not be a first-date venue (unless you look your best with bacon ketchup on your chin) and they could certainly do with more veggie choices but this is, quite simply, burger brilliance."

"It didn’t take long for word to spread about Rudy’s appetising Neapolitan pizzas. Debuting on Ancoats’ Cotton Street in 2015 and named after founders Jim Morgan and Kate Wilson’s little dog, the venue’s fast-and-easy style became a quick hit with locals, who’d queue for hours to get a pizza cooked inside their wood-burning stove. Shortly after they were featured in the prestigious Where To Eat Pizzas world guide, a second, larger space was unveiled in the centre of town on Peter Street."

"Praise the Lord, praise thee who finally brought back the mighty Rudy’s pizza for lockdown delivery. Yes, the spot voted the best pizza in the UK, and the 10th in the world no less, has just announced they are back in the game. The cult chain is offering its full pizza menu for delivery, as well as a selection of fine Italian wines."

"Listed amongst the world’s best pizzerias in international pizza guide, Where To Eat Pizza, Rudy’s Pizza has grown from a pop-up project into a full blown word-of-mouth phenomenon."

"The only gallery dedicated to photography and related media in the north-west, Open Eye is increasingly an essential part of Liverpool's already impressive art offering. Founded in 1977, it remained something of a hidden gem until its move in 2011 to a purpose-built home on the waterfront. As if to consolidate the move, a new artistic director, Lorenzo Fusi (previously curator of Liverpool Biennial), was appointed in 2013 and has already signalled his intent with some progressive programming."

"With a focus on lenses rather than paint, Open Eye Gallery is a not-for-profit contemporary photography gallery on Liverpool Waterfront. Proudly independent and the only gallery in the north west dedicated to photography, Open Eye hosts regular exhibitions and houses a wonderful collection of photography dating back as far as the 1930s. 19 Mann Island, Liverpool Waterfront, Liverpool L3 1BP, United Kingdom"

"Independent and not-for-profit, the Open Eye is the only gallery of its kind in the North West of England. Appropriately housed in an inspiring, modern building on Mann Island, it showcases both well-known and emerging photographers. Don’t overlook this gallery, it’s well worth a visit."

"Warrington’s parish church is an atmospheric sandstone building with a spire 86 metres high. This is the eighth highest spire in the country, and the fifth highest among parish churches. Most of St Elphin’s dates from a restoration that took place in the 1860s, but there are fragments of earlier buildings."
