The Shipping Forecast Burger

This is a quick one from me today, it’s all about The Shipping Forecast, the Ale House, eatery and gig venue. I’m not a regular, at least not in the past, but this is something I wish to rectify. Anyway being encouraged by the knowledgable @MissCay, I’ve been a few times and really liked it, my last visit included a really rather good burger. Burgers are something I really loves, probably my favourite  quick food, I wrote quite sometime ago about the best burger in Liverpool, which is something I now have to rectify.

The bread was suitably soft and easy to bite into, the salad was fresh and crisp and most importantly the beef pattie  had some great charred flavour combined with rich beef. This was a really good burger, to be very picky, I  like my burgers to be a bit pinker in the middle, but apart from that it was very good. If you want a good burger in Liverpool, The Shipping Forecast is the place for you.

I descended the steps slowly, a growing sense of anticipation and child like excitement gripped me, I pushed open the door and beheld what could only be described as a seedy desolate backstreet pub.
