Best Restaurants, Must Try Places in Skelmersdale

"D&D London group’s all-day restaurant, bar and grill, 20 Stories, on the 19th floor of the No1 Spinningfields building in central Manchester. The modern British menu in the main restaurant showcases local produce, with the majority sourced within a 50-mile radius of the city. Herdwick lamb sits on potato gnocchi and chanterelle mushrooms, poached John Dory is served with a smart langoustine velouté and white asparagus, and butter-poached salsify is topped with burnt leeks and parsnip purée."

"If you want to push the boat out for a special occassion, 20 stories is the place to go. This glamorous rooftop restaurant and cocktail bar offers panoramic views of the city, and is reassuringly welcoming to families. Kids have their own menu featuring delicious dishes like ‘make your own’ Eton Mess."

"Not only does it hold the title as Manchester's highest restaurant, but 20 Stories has also garnered acclaim for its locally-sourced eats. Dishes such as truffle risotto and grilled halibut with a pistachio crust are paired with an impressive wine list to make for a memorable evening."

"Favourably reviewed by The Guardian’s Jay Rayner, who rated their falafel as a “marvellous thing”, Maray was arguably one of the first Bold Street restaurants to kick-start the Liverpool food revolution of recent years. Serving up small plates inspired by global cuisines, their delectable dishes are now a regular favourite for any Liverpool foodie. From their famous falafel with hummus and tabbouleh, to showstopper plates such as Lebanese cured salmon with cucumber, radish and labneh and those just-pink flat iron steaks with roasted pineapple."

"Specialising in Middle Eastern-inspired small plates, Maray has cemented its legendary status within the city with 3 restaurants. Their original Bold Street restaurant is going stronger than ever with famous dishes like their Disco Cauliflower. View the menu at https://www.maray.co.uk/"

"There are two branches of Maray to choose from, Bold Street and Allerton Road and this scrumptious creation is fresh off the spring menu. The salted chocolate and bergamot tart with chai ice cream is not only very, very delicious-looking, it’s completely vegan too."

"It’s become such a major part of Liverpool’s culinary identity it is strange to think that Mowgli has only been around for five years or so. Mowgli is all about how Indians eat at home and on their streets, serving healthy fresh food. In addition, the Mowgli Trust has raised nearly three quarters of a million pounds so far, donating to charities including Claire House children’s hospice and The Clatterbridge Cancer Charity."

"Now a national chain – with restaurants in Oxford, Manchester, Nottingham and Cardiff – Bold Street can proudly claim to be the birth place of Indian street-food restaurant Mowgli. But don’t let the ‘chain’ idea put you off. This is no fast food outlet."

"Located on Bold Street is one of the city’s most beloved eateries; Mowgli. Inside you’ll find Indian food, but not as you know it. Remove every predisposition you had and head down for some chat bombs and Himalayan cheese on toast."

"Indian street-food specialists Bundobust have ventured across The Pennines to open this spacious Piccadilly branch. Inside, seating is canteen-style with the enticing menu of snacks and sharing plates being equally informal, and entirely vegetarian too."

"You can eat for well under a tenner at Indian kitchen Bundobust. Located in the Northern Quarter, the restaurant is a veggie haven of spicy cooking; we recommend the masala dosa, a warming combination of soup and mini pancakes."

"Pizza Express bosses have confirmed plans to reopen the chain on April 12. 118 of the chain’s restaurants will open in England next month as the country continues to ease its lockdown restrictions, including two in Merseyside. The two restaurants reopening in Merseyside are Liverpool ONE and Kings Waterfront."

"With more than a decade of faithful service to West Didsbury under its natty Nepalese belt, the Gurkha Grill is now reaping the benefits of an extensiv ..."

"St Luke’s Church, or the Bombed Out Church to the locals, sits proudly at the top of Bold Street and is a great spot for a photograph, especially if you get to head inside. Known as the Bombed Out Church because it no longer has a roof, it makes for an interesting photo for the collection. View this post on Instagram"

"Also known as St. Luke’s Church, the Bombed-Out Church lost its roof during the World War II blitz and has now been transformed into a wedding venue, café and a great spot for pictures. The church is incredible to look around and is also filled with so much history."

"A modest Anglican parish church, originally built in 1832, St. Luke’s was a victim of the Liverpool Blitz in 1941 and now stands as a roofless shell, a monument to those who were lost during the war."

"Created by artist duo Simon & Tom Bloor, Bluecoat Platform, has been made in collaboration with Liverpool children from Out of the Blue, the venue's outreach art programme for children aged 5-11. The new sculpture is based on shapes developed by the children in workshops with the artists, to create a platform that brings some of Bluecoat’s artistic activities out of the building for the public to enjoy."

"The perfect excuse to visit the oldest building in the city centre The Bluecoat!. Discover hidden gems in the form of gorgeous indies including Dressology Evening and Bridal boutique, R&J Porter Silversmiths, Lalligrass Himalayan goods, Roots Houseplants & Mary Mary Florals and Probe Records.

"Built in 1716, Bluecoat Chambers is considered the oldest building in Liverpool. Originally constructed as a charity school, the premises is now home to an arts centre, known as The Bluecoat."

"Since opening their doors in November 2015, Hope Mill Theatre has become one of the most successful independent venues in England. Located in Ancoats, they produce full scale musicals from their Grade II listed former mill. The theatre will be reopening this summer, as well as hosting Hope Fest, an outdoor arts and culture festival."

"This wonderful independent venue, located out in New Islington, was one of the few theatres that managed to reopen last year after lockdown. It'll be back again with a reduced capacity and socially distanced seating for a Meet Me At Dawn, from HER Productions. You can get tickets at hopemilltheatre.co.uk."

"Home to a Tudor Old Hall, Neo-Classical Mansion, 50 acres of landscaped gardens, a rare-breeds farm, 1,000 acres of deer park, speciality shops, restaurant, tea room and adventure playground."
