The Pen Factory

It's a long walk up Mount Pleasant from the town centre to get to the Pen Factory in Hope St. I always need a pint after that walk. This place always reminds me of my old school canteen for some reason. It has a very good range of real ales and beers that you won't see in other pubs. Very pleasant staff.

Wow! I visited the Pen Factory years ago for a drink when it was new but haven’t eaten there til last night. I have been missing so much!! We were going to have small plates but my friend saw the hake and clams with smoked aubergine and a bisque sauce. I saw the belly pork with Caulifliwer purée. Cider jus, pickled celeriac and mustard seeds. I ordered chips with aioli and my friend Chantey Carrots it was totally delicious! They recommend drinks with each dish and I had the cider to go with the pork. We are coming back to Liverpool for my husbands birthday. We are eating here!!

Great venue, lovely outside area for Summer of term time. Menu wasn't very big but the food was high quality. Herb crusted cod and mussels was delicious. Reasonable amount of atmosphere with this being in the University area and out of term time. Service was good
