Specialising in wholesome freshly made food, the café brand was launched in Waterloo in May 2017 by husband and wife team Graeme and Clare Farrington

Independent artisan coffee house, Peaberry Coffee House and Kitchen, is opening its new outlet at Royal Albert Dock Liverpool on Saturday, September 8, and is offering 50% off food for its weeklong ‘soft launch’.

Specialising in wholesome freshly made food, the café which was launched in Waterloo in May 2017 by husband and wife team Graeme and Clare Farrington, will bring a diverse menu of locally sourced meat, fish, vegan, vegetarian and gluten free dishes to its new waterfront home.

The family-run business, with Graeme in the kitchen and Clare and her brother Sean at front of house, will become the latest independent to take up residency at the historic site, as part of the dock’s commercial owners Aberdeen Standard Investments’ focus on emerging brands and businesses.

A chance meeting with one of the Royal Albert Dock Liverpool team led to Graeme and Clare viewing a unit in late 2017, although at the time they had no plans for an expansion.

Graeme explained: “We’re still very much a young business but both Clare and I recognised that red-hot opportunities like this don’t come along every day and we knew we had to grasp it and take full advantage of what was being offered.”

Clare added: “We would never have dreamed about having a cafe on the dock. As city residents, to us the dock has always been the most prestigious of addresses and only for the likes of national operators.

“By reaching out to small independents the dock team has given us the confidence to expand our business and we’re looking forward to welcoming our first dockside customers next month.”

Making the most of its new space on the Colonnades, with a 45-seated casual restaurant on one side, and an open kitchen with sandwich counter and bar on the other, Peaberry Coffee House and Kitchen offers eat-in diners and takeaway customers sweeping views of the dock.
