£95pp—The Art School in Liverpool: curated dining event

Welcomed by Travelzoo staff, sat on a table with wonderful people, great atmosphere, delicious food, booked for their other restaurant, the Barnacle, whilst there as promoted by travel zoo staff as did 4 others on our table!

Exceptional food and ambience. Good experience.

A great first experience at this restaurant and would definitely go again. Our only minor feeling was that the coffee we ordered in the cellar after the event wasn't as brilliant as everything else..just a picky thing

Excellent day out

Fabulous

Lovely food… and plenty of it ….elegant setting… friendly and professional staff

Fabulous!

First experience of staff was excellent as it was through the event. Great wine choice and wonderful to be able to talk to the supplier. Food was great and it was a thrill to be able to talk to chef Paul afterwards. We liked being on a table with people we hadn't met instead of just sitting as a couple as it was lovely sharing the experience with them. Overall a great afternoon and the weather was gorgeous. Great to show how good Liverpool's food scene is.

It's a wonderful historic building which Paul and his team have restored with great respect. It has atmosphere and history. Paul Askew has been a great ambassador for the city and has lifted the food scene to heights we never thought possible.

Amazing. Beautiful venue. Amazing food. Fantastic company.

Loved it. Such a beautiful day. x

An excellent lunch in a fabulous restaurant, hosted by Travelzoo. The Owner, Paul Askew, was also present and it was really good to have him speak with everyone in attendance

Go to the art school you won’t regret this fabulous experience x

Excellent service and attention to detail. The food was exquisite. The whole event was perfectly organised by Travelzoo.

Each plate is a work of art and a treat for the taste buds!

Not especially.

I would have appreciated some information on the way the food had been prepared and cooked prior to the meal, which might have prevented me from returning most of my Duck (I was not alone in this) under the impression that it was under cooked, as I don't like meat done pink/rare. Another aspect was, I thought the dining room was too noisy due to high ceilings and hard surfaces, with no soft fabrics to absorb the sounds. I found conversation difficult.

The welcome wasn’t very well organised by Travelzoo. We were told not to arrive before 12:30 and, when we did arrive on time, there were no seats available for us! On arrival we were told to remember our table number (1) as everyone would be going in table order. There was just a mass exodus all at the same time with no information. The amusement bouche and starter were beautiful as was the accompanying wines. A lot of people left quite a bit of the duck from the main course as it was very sinewy and tough to eat. The dessert was lovely though. Between the main and dessert at the q&a session both the Travelzoo host and Paul Askew kept my bing the mic too low so it wasn’t always easy to hear especially as we were sat the closest to the kitchen which was very noisy with moving crockery and cutlery. I have been to the restaurant before and will return again but not for an event like this.

Lovely afternoon but very hot in the building and difficult to hear. Travel zoo rep was excellent

Service excellent.

From the moment we arrived right the way through our visit the staff were all very friendly and helpful. The Travelzoo event we attended was excellent with top notch wines and food and it was great to listen to Paul Askew and have the opportunity to ask him questions.
