FRESH FROM OLD SWAN, EVERY DAY
All our beef and chicken comes from Liverpool Meat & Fish Market in Old Swan, delivered fresh every day.
DELIVERED FRESH EVERY DAY
Every bit of beef and chicken we cook comes from Liverpool Meat & Fish Market — Liverpool's wholesale meat market in Old Swan, trading since 1931. It's delivered to our kitchen on 4 Ashfield Road in Aigburth every day, so what goes on the griddle today arrived today.
FROM THE MARKET TO YOUR ORDER
That's the beef in every smash burger, pressed onto a hot griddle for the crispy edge, and the chicken in our wings, boneless, tenders and burgers, cooked when you order.
WHY IT MATTERS
A smash burger has nowhere to hide — it's mostly beef and heat. Buying local and fresh every day is the difference you can taste, and it means our money stays with a Liverpool market that has been feeding the city for over ninety years.
A MARKET WITH 800 YEARS OF HISTORY
Liverpool Meat & Fish Market traces its roots back to the royal charter of 1207, growing from small medieval stalls near the River Mersey into the city's wholesale hub on Prescot Road.

A ROYAL CHARTER
King John grants the charter that makes Liverpool a port and a weekly market town. Fish and provisions are sold in small yards near Chapel Street, Pool Lane and Derby Square.
