Customers travel miles to try a South Liverpool restaurant described as a 'hidden gem.' The Watering Can , an award-winning café bistro located in Greenbank Park, was opened by owners Keith Perryman and Philip Starling in April 2019. Keith said it's a project that has been 'ten years in the making' , but has now 'far surpassed everything we ever could have imagined.
Suddenly we had to navigate furlough, eat out to help out, restrictions on people mixing…overnight we went from being a dine-in venue to a takeaway venue. It put us on the map. People would come and spend their hour in the park, and then get a takeaway.' Since then, they’ve become a 'destination venue' and attracted visitors who Keith said 'travel here from all over the North-West' to eat there. Fans include celebrities such as Jodie Comer, Jamie Carragher and Martin Freeman.
