At the end of Jan, it was my birthday and I had the wonderful chance to spend the day before my birthday at The Watering Can trying out their Sunday Lunch menu which came at the perfect time as it allowed me to have a little pre-birthday celebration with my best friend whilst also trying out some yummy food and cakes to be able to share it with you all.
The Watering Can is situated in Greenbank Park in Liverpool and is a wonderful place to visit whether you want a coffee before walking round the park with kids and dogs or you can head in for some lunch or a coffee and cake afternoon. They have a great menus for breakfast, lunch and Sunday Roasts. They even have speciality menus for different events during the year so at the moment you can currently check out the Mother's Day option on their website. There is even the option to book yourself a table to ensure that you're getting a spot cause believe me every time I've visited they're always full up. The Watering Can also have a walk up window so if you just want to pick up a hot drink or a snack whilst you're visiting the park or passing by.
I believe their Sunday Roast menu launched in December and you can get 2 courses for £27 and 3 courses for £34 with vegan/veggie options included too. I in all my chronic illness fun struggled with brain fog and got myself and my best friend there an hour before the table was ready (yes this is what I'm like constantly day to day) so we grabbed a coffee and sat with a coffee enjoying the park.
Once our table was actually ready, we welcomed in and we got the chance to look over the menu whilst we enjoyed a drink. To start, I ended up going for the platsville bread which was bread with olive oil and balsamic vinegar cause I didn't want anything too heavy to start and my best friend went for the vegan option which was beetroot hummus which had roasted beetroot, grapes, candied walnuts, vegan yoghurt, dill, and a sourdough crisp. The beetroot hummus was such an eye catching dish as the beetroot makes the hummus a brighter pink colour and she also said that it tasted amazing but was big for a starter (either that or we have small stomachs!).
Now for the main event, the roast dinner! We ended up going for the chicken roast for me and the wild mushroom nut roast for Steph. Now I don't know what they use or how they cook their roast potatoes but these were the best roast potatoes that I've ever had and that includes home made ones (I need the recipe to make them myself at home). The seasoning and portion size was perfect for us, it was so delicious and definitely worth travelling from the Wirral for it.
Steph was really impressed with the wild mushroom nut roast, I love bringing her along with me to events as she can try all the vegan food and review it for you at the same time. All of the roast dinners come with roast potatoes, Yorkshire puddings, maple glazed carrots, green vegetable medley, then either meat or vegetable gravy in individual jug. You also get the choice between beef rump, chicken, porchetta, or the mushroom nut roast so there's plenty of choice for everyone's. We even seen them do a mini roast dinner for a child that was there with family which is great.
With it being my birthday the next day, we had to celebrate with a little bit of cake. We were too full to individually have desserts so we decided to spilt a slice of the vegan red velvet cake between us (and yes, I may have did it to get a picture to post on my birthday). Overall, we had such a wonderful afternoon at The Watering Can, as always the staff were so nice and went above and beyond for us. We'll definitely be heading back again very soon!
