Where are Anfield and Goodison Park?
Anfield, the home of Liverpool Football Club, and Goodison Park, the home of rivals Everton, are on opposite sides of Stanley Park, just north of Liverpool’s vibrant centre.
Only around 0.8 miles (16 minutes walk) from each other, both grounds have hosted top-level football since the late 1800s, although domestic success has evaded both sets of supporters for three decades and counting.
Pre-Match Dining in Liverpool
The best Liverpool fine dining spots are based a few miles away from the two stadiums, in the centre of the city, an area where you can sample food from right across the globe.
From your hotel in central Liverpool, there are plenty of options, although it’s best to make a reservation first, especially if you want to dine at the beautiful Art School Restaurant.
Located near Liverpool Philharmonic, locally sourced ingredients specially curated for Paul Askew’s critically acclaimed menu will set you up for 90-minutes of on-pitch action.
Again, a reservation is important if you want to eat at Röski, our next dining choice, where Anton Piotrowski and his team use only the freshest ingredients across a stellar menu. The restaurant is located on Rodney Street, one of the city’s most famous thoroughfares.
Our third choice, the London Carriage Works, does simplicity with a flair you’ll struggle to find anywhere else. From full lunch and dinner menus to afternoon tea, drop by here for a truly memorable gastronomic experience.
