The Liverpool Foodie’s guide to Woolton Village

One of Liverpool’s oldest villages, the leafy suburb of Woolton is flavoured by vibrant, independent businesses!

Woolton Village is a stunning suburb in South Liverpool, and its thriving social scene has flourished over the years.

The village has become a hub for foodies, and hosts some of the most incredible independents that Liverpool has to offer.

From the Scotch Beef Shop to the sublime French dining experience of Caveau – let this guide give you some inspiration for your next trip to the village.

Scotch Beef Shop

The only independent butcher in the area, they can cater for all your foodie needs at home! Whether it be cooked meats, oven ready meats, chicken, sausages, bacon, burgers or grills they have them all prepared for you on site.

Their award winning sausages are out of this world and they’re made right there on the premises.

Their beef is sourced from Scotland’s leading red meat manufacturer Scotbeef Limited. It is a must visit in the area.

One Percent Forest

The Nordic inspired coffee shop & cocktail bar was born after owners Hannah and Dean’s trips to Iceland. They fell in love with the culture and food, and decided that’s what we were missing in Liverpool, and it’s a good job they did.

The food is made fresh daily and its style and flavours lend itself to those typical of what you would find in Reykjavik. They’re dog friendly as well which is a bonus!

Dostana

Some of the locals still refer to it as The Raj, but whatever you call it, this family restaurant celebrated its 50th anniversary this year!
