Your choice of menu will be carefully prepared and delivered to you at St James Gardens, situated behind the cathedral.
Enjoy the tranquillity of a peaceful haven located in Victorian Cemetery now laid out as a park, away from the busy city yet only a stone’s throw from Liverpool City Centre and all it has to offer.

We usually suggest that two hours is enough time to enjoy your food but you can take longer – just let us know.
Our representative will meet you again to collect the picnic hamper and equipment at the end of this time.

A deposit of £40 will be taken to protect picnic hamper and any other equipment and will be refunded the day after the picnic once all equipment returned in good order.
