Liverpool food court popular with locals named among the best in UK

An award-winning Liverpool food and drink market has been named one of the best food courts in the whole of the UK.

National Geographic Traveller have short-listed seven of their favourite food courts, and Duke Street Market has been listed at number four.

The food and drink market is based in the heart of Liverpool city centre and is home to six kitchens offering a range of cuisines from seafood to Cuban street food.

The venue is loved by locals but is walk-in only, so there are often queues of people waiting to go inside.

The six kitchens serve food from 12pm and visitors can order a range of meals from all of the vendors, using a QR code. The food hall concept means customers can enjoy a range of cuisines and small plates from different eateries, with options for all dietary requirements.

The quirky venue is in a warehouse style, with a range of seating options, including long benches and more intimate tables.
