THE PEACOCK PROVIDE A TASTE OF HAVANA AT THIS YEAR’S LIVERPOOL FOOD & DRINK FESTIVAL

Popular city centre food and drink hotspot The Peacock will bring a new area to this year’s Liverpool Food and Drink Festival.

The team, who are based on Seel Street, will transform a part of Sefton Park into the streets of Havana as part of their dedicated music and bar area. Visitors will be able to sip on a Mojito or two while listening to some of the region’s most respected DJs.

Director of The Peacock, Alfie Torres-Silva, said they would be providing a line-up of talented acts in their very own Latin summer bar area, which will be announced in the next few weeks.

He said: "We wanted to create a smaller version of The Peacock directly in the middle of the best event held in Sefton Park, to show people exactly what we offer as a venue. By being the official music sponsor, our job is to keep people entertained and possibly dancing for the whole of the festival, by showcasing the best of Liverpool’s bustling bar and music scene. Our licensed area will house a variety of offerings, including our award winning drinks and entertainment."

There are now less than six weeks until Liverpool Food and Drink Festival, which will delight thousands of visitors yet again with an array of mouth-watering dishes from some of the finest bars, restaurants, hotels and food retail outlets in the city. Visitors will also be able to enjoy live music, celebrity cooking demonstrations, masterclasses, sampling and a children’s interactive area.

The Festival continues in the city’s bars and restaurants until September 10, with the prestigious Liverpool Food and Drink Festival Awards concluding celebrations on September 12.

To celebrate the announcement of The Peacock at this year’s Liverpool Food and Drink Festival, the team will be holding a free summer BBQ and special Paella evening this Friday (July 29) at 6 o’clock.
