Visitors to Sefton Park are set to enjoy an exciting new food and drink destination this summer as the award-winning team behind Liverpool favourite The Watering Can launches Frankley’s Bakery alongside a stylish new mobile catering food trailer by the park’s boating lake.
Known for creating one of the city’s most loved café-bistro experiences, the hospitality team has expanded with the introduction of its own artisan bakery, producing freshly baked breads, pastries and sweet treats daily from a dedicated bakery space inside sister venue The Wheelbarrow on Greenbank Lane.
From Thursday to Sunday, visitors can pick up fresh bakes directly from The Wheelbarrow from 9 am to 4 pm, while the eye-catching Frankley’s Bakery trailer will serve park-goers every Saturday and Sunday from 9 am–5 pm.
Designed to complement a leisurely day in the park, the trailer will offer artisan pastries and breads alongside premium coffees, speciality teas, matcha drinks, lattes, iced and soft drinks, making it perfect for residents, walkers, families, cyclists and weekend visitors looking to relax and refuel in one of Liverpool’s most scenic green spaces.
The bakery’s handcrafted range includes brioche rolls, Parisienne baguettes, focaccia and sourdough, as well as indulgent pastries including all-butter croissants and speciality puff and shortcrust creations and seasonal favourites.

The launch also supports the recently launched Luxury Afternoon Tea experience at The Watering Can, showcasing the bakery’s fresh breads and pastries as part of an elevated dining offer.
Named after the owners’ two Dogue de Bordeaux dogs, Frank and Stanley, Frankley’s Bakery combines artisan craftsmanship with a welcoming neighbourhood feel, adding a new lifestyle-focused food destination for both locals and visitors enjoying Sefton Park.
Frankley’s Bakery is now fully operational and serving customers across both restaurant venues and the wider Sefton Park community.
Whether people want to buy bread and pastries to take home, or enjoy a treat whilst they enjoy Sefton Park, Frankley’s Bakery has all that is needed to make every visit a memorable one.

The production expansion allows the business to service multiple local venues while directly targeting the weekend outdoor leisure market.
Owner Keith Perryman said:
“Frankley’s Bakery is all about creating quality experiences for our customers.
“Sefton Park is such a vibrant leisure destination, and we wanted to bring something special for people to enjoy while spending time outdoors with friends and family.
“Everything is baked fresh daily and designed to be enjoyed in a relaxed, social setting.
“We also wanted to give the customers at The Wheelbarrow and The Watering Can consistently great quality breads and sweet treats using the finest quality ingredients.”
The introduction of mobile catering options by the waterfront provides local park users with increased access to speciality refreshments.
By utilising existing infrastructure at nearby Greenbank Lane for daily production, the independent brand ensures a consistent supply of baked goods to the mobile unit throughout peak weekend operating hours.
