The Wheelbarrow Welcomes Visitors to South-Facing Sun Terrace for Bank Holiday Heatwave

Sunshine, spritzes, great food and one of Liverpool’s prettiest hidden terraces, The Wheelbarrow is shaping up to be a go-to destination this bank holiday weekend and beyond. 

With temperatures forecast to reach 25 degrees this weekend and soar to 29 degrees next week, the much-loved venue beside Greenbank Sports Academy is inviting guests to make the most of the sunshine on its beautiful south-facing terrace, a hidden suntrap that’s quickly becoming one of Liverpool’s must-visit outdoor spots this summer.

Just moments from Sefton Park, The Wheelbarrow has become a favourite for walkers, brunch lovers and groups of friends looking for a relaxed city escape. 

Its stylish outdoor terrace seats up to 60 guests and offers everything needed for the perfect summer afternoon, from vibrant greenery and giant umbrellas for shaded lunches to laid-back outdoor music and sunshine that lingers well into the evening. 

To celebrate the warm weather, The Wheelbarrow is serving up a special happy hour spritz offer, with two spritzes for £15 between 4 pm and 6 pm.

Greenbank Venue Prepares Outdoor Capacity Ahead of Regional Summer Heatwave

The layout of the south-facing terrace provides an alternative alfresco destination for suburban commuters and local residents navigating the busy parks of South Liverpool. 

Guests can also enjoy a selection of aperitivo-style nibbles, including olives, focaccia from Frankly’s and Italiano Aperitivo loaded crisps topped with nduja, melted mozzarella and chilli honey. 

For those looking for an alcohol-free option, the venue is also pouring its refreshing “Spritzero” – a zero-alcohol spritz made using Wilfred’s non-alcoholic bitter orange and rosemary aperitivo.

The food menu is equally impressive, featuring favourites such as the famous Posh Fish Finger Sandwich, stacked Club Sandwiches and fresh Chicken Caesar Salads, alongside a tempting selection of small plates, snacks and lunchtime dishes designed for sharing in the sunshine.

South Liverpool Hospitality Sector Prepares for Peak Bank Holiday Crowds

The strategic introduction of afternoon promotional menus aims to capture the seasonal footfall transitioning from nearby parklands into the local neighbourhood eateries. 

Whether it’s iced coffees in the afternoon sun, leisurely lunches with friends or cocktails on one of the city’s most beautiful hidden terraces, The Wheelbarrow is proving to be the perfect place to eat, drink and soak up Liverpool’s mini heatwave. 

This bank holiday, The Wheelbarrow offers Liverpool another option to dine in the glorious sunshine.
