"The Satterthwaite’s name carries over 100 years of history with it. When the original bakeries closed, pastry lovers of North Liverpool were bereft, but rather than mourning savouries loved and lost, a local couple snapped up this site and are flying the Satterthwaite’s flag. The pasties are great but it’s the pork pies that get people queuing round the block – keep it classic or go wild and try the black pudding, chorizo or pickle specials."

"If you have a sweet tooth then a trip to Kin is definitely necessary. The bakehouse and kitchen on Gloucester Road boasts a wide range of freshly made cakes and desserts alongside sandwiches and brunch to go."
