Liverpool’s popular Café Bistro The Watering Can celebrates two years at Greenbank Park

Liverpool’s popular Café Bistro, The Watering Can is celebrating two ‘blooming fabulous’ years at Greenbank Park. 

The Watering Can opened it’s doors in  April 2019, set within 12 acres of  stunning Victorian park space, a lifelong dream for owners Keith Perryman and Phil Starling who have a passion for developing spaces in parks and gardens.    

It didn’t take long for The Watering Can to take root and flourish within the local community and the beautifully designed glass fronted venue, oozing with rustic charm, floral plantings and unique interior and exterior finishes became a firm favourite with park-goers as well as attracting new people to enjoy the wonderful surroundings of one of Liverpool’s finest parks.

Despite the operational and financial challenges of a global pandemic The Watering Can has remained optimistic throughout and adapted service according to government guidelines as well using the time to make a few design tweaks and maintenance updates.  

The Watering Can, which opens seven days a week,  have welcomed in excess of 150,000 guests through their doors in the past two years and most could not have failed to be charmed by the stunning oasis which nestles in the outskirts of the park providing stunning views for guests.

Owner Keith Perryman said:

“Our second birthday is a milestone we are proud of.   We worked so hard during our first year to be the best venue we possibly could be to support our neighbourhood and during the pandemic we have adapted and changed at every turn. 

“We re-opened indoors on Monday with a brand new menu, full of beautiful seasonal additions as well as some tweaks to our most popular dishes.   Our team have done so well.   We are proud custodians of this stunning space and our priority has always been to remain sympathetic to the park and its surroundings.  We play an active role in supporting Liverpool City Council’s Parks and Gardens team maintaining the park and operate regular litter picks with our own team.   

“We designed the venue to seamlessly welcome the outside inside and despite all of the challenges we are flourishing and continuing to grow.  We have a fantastic team of 30 people and we supported them with a full wage during the pandemic.  I believe we have one of the best teams and one of the best locations in the city”.
