"We’ve been visiting WTLGI about once a year since it opened. It’s always something to look forward to, although the nature of the experience means we wouldn’t really want to be coming more often. And that’s in spite of the absolutely excellent feeling of hospitality – service is completely on the ball with everything happening just as it should. And I like the fact that staff remember your names and address you by them. And introduce themelves as well. It’s a good touch. Food continues to be by way of a tasting menu running to twelve courses, if you count snacks, bread and the like as being courses. At first glance, dishes may appear quite straightforward but look a little deeper and you see top quality ingredients, imagination and some considerable skill. This is what the menu said we had to eat, which includes produce from The Landing (their own kitchen garden built on top of the Merseyway precinct’s car park) and Yellowhammer (their own bakery) Tomato, woodruff Monkfish cheek, preserved blood orange Carlingford Oyster, orange leaf Tellowhammer bread butter Asparagus, Landing flowers Lettuce, pil-pil Cornish lobster, Tomalley Sladesdown duck Kebab on the way home Orange leaf parfait Burnt honey custard slice Woodruff chouquette As with every longish tasting menu, there are some dishes you’re going to like more than others. There was nothing we didn’t like (so that was a result in itself) but there were some stand-outs. For example, the tomato dish that kicked off the meal. Now, you might wonder how English cherry tomatoes in early June can possibly be a WOW dish. What they do is skin them and lightly dehydrate them to concentrate the flavour but not so much that it particularly affects the texture. They are served in a “tomato water” which is the absolute essence of tomato. Then there was a single oyster, served on the half shell. It had been lightly poached in a blood orange leaf sauce (Sicilian blood orange is the only citrus currently being used in the kitchen). Then there were the two duck dishes, served together. For one, the duck crown had been cooked outside on the BBQ, which is set up on the first floor landing. There was a lovely smell as you carefully climbed the uneven steps outside up to the second floor restaurant. It’s perfectly pink, with crispy skin and served with a chimichurri sauce, that was full of flavour but was, perhaps, just the wrong side of being too vinegary. And for the second there was a very long cooked ragu, made from the gizzard and heart, wrapped up in a small flatbread (just as you might get from the local kebab shop). Both dishes were just lovely in their individual ways. They come back to the use of that blood orange for the first dessert – the parfait has a perfect consistency and just the right balance between sweet and the citrus sharpness. Congrats to the pastry chef, Jess. As always, it had been an interesting and enjoyable evening."

Spent my 30th birthday here and it couldn't have been better! From the moment you step through the door to the moment you leave you are made to feel special, nothing is too much. Amazing food and perfectly matched wines!

Absolutely INCREDIBLE!!! Food was so beautifully presented, had such an interesting story behind it and tasted unbelievable. The wine pairings were all natural wines and delicious and well thought out. Staff were what made it even better (if even possible) Every single member of staff came over at one point with food wine and were so friendly and knowledgeable. We cannot wait to come again! Such a unique experience,and we were so so impressed!! A little gem! Thank you!!! View menu

A relaxed yet elevated dining experience, the team here are definitely focused on delivering not only a fine dining tasting platter but also engaging the customer in the journey of the food and wine. It was such a relaxed experience even though you are literally in the kitchen and watching how they prepare and deliver your food. The food may seem small but the flavour certainly packs a punch and if you really want yo elevate your experience then get the wine pairing and enjoy the delicate and robust flavours that it brings to the dining.

Fantastic celebration meal at WtLGI. This is hands down one of the best meals/tasting menus we've ever eaten. They catered to my wifes vegetarianism well with the dishes being the same excellent quality. The venue is relaxed (based in an old warehouse off a back Stockport street) and casual but with attentive and polite service. An excellent themed menu throughout the evening with not a single course being anything but excellent. The food was chosen with passion, sustainability and care and the staff were knowledgeable and explained the menu well. The drinks paired well and we sampled some unique beverages! We're lucky to have such a gem on our door step. Perfect.

I recently dined here with my Dad for my 18th birthday. And I must say, it was amazing. As soon as we entered the building, everyone was very welcoming and friendly. They all knew my name, and that it was my birthday, which was lovely. We got to sit at the seats where you can see the chefs prepare the food which was very entertaining to watch. There is no menu for this restaurant, so we ordered some drinks, and then they started to bring our food out. There was about 9 or so courses, and they were all outstanding and very exciting. I particularly enjoyed the lobster and monkfish. They were excellent catering for my gluten allergy, as everything thing they served for my Dad, they served for m... View menu

My partner and I have visited twice now, once for his birthday as a surprise in April 2023 and because we loved it so much we went again for our anniversary in September 2023. Both times have been such memorable experiences. Not only do we love the 9 course menu which changes constantly, but the staff and the ambience at this restaurant is just perfect. It feels so special because they only do a certain number of covers each night, so there’s no rush and chefs visit your table to talk about every dish…I’ve never experienced it anywhere else and it’s truly a very special place. I love how open and rustic the restaurant feels, the kitchen is right in front of you so you feel like you’re really...

I was lucky enough to go to WTLGI this week with my son and daughter to mark a very special family occasion, and all I can say is WOW!!!! From the moment you enter the building which externally has shall we say “character” to the inside which is simply stunning, you are treated to a culinarily and sensual treat. The staff are incredibly attentive without being intrusive, knowledgeable without being condescending and the explanations of the food and its journey from source to plate combined and wine pairings were absolutely perfect. You are always not sure what to expect with a blind tasting but I would say this was one of the top 2 meals of my life! The food was INCREDIBLE and displayed many...
