Since 2020
About The Welsford Bistro //
Beginning as a mobile cart, ‘The mezze in the well’ served up drinks and snacks amidst Covid-19 restrictions, business partners Neil Blackhurst and Damien Flynn, soon expanded to occupy Liverpool Cathedral’s restaurant and dining space, located in the Welsford Porch.
They are a skilled and experienced team, with Neil being the former manager of the cathedral’s previous café, and the former owner of Pistachio on Lark Lane, and Damien having experienced the world as a chef in Michelin star restaurants in London, before moving to Liverpool and becoming Head Chef of 60 Hope Street.
Uniting to form The Welsford Bistro, they serve up a range of delicious locally sourced meals, including their popular Sunday Roasts, and they continue to go from strength to strength, hosting unique private dining experiences, in both the bistro and main cathedral space. In 2022, The Welsford Bistro was nominated for the ‘Hidden Gem’ award in the Liverpool Tourism Awards. Further nominations and wins are very likely to soon follow.
