While football fans around the country have to be content with Bovril and a pie, Kopites will soon be enjoying a whole new culinary experience when the club opens a family-friendly restaurant at Anfield. The Boot Room Sports Cafe will serve top quality steaks, salads, pasta, pizza and much more at competitive prices from 11am until 11pm seven days a week. Diners will also be able to enjoy hot and cold drinks, cocktails and big-screen TVs when the restaurant opens for business above the club shop on October 14. Head chef Chris McDowell has been signed from Gusto on the Albert Dock - but kids are allowed to snub our talented cook and prepare their own pizza! There will be lots more to keep children entertained, including the chance to visit a state-of-the-art ice-cream machine. Vegetarians are also well catered for - and we're happy to accommodate all other dietary needs as well as parties. To make things even easier, the club is providing secure parking outside the Centenary Stand. Christian Grall, Executive Head Chef at LFC, said: "The Boot Room restaurant will provide the local community and visitors to the stadium with a unique, fun and family-orientated experience. "The food and service will be of the highest standards with some unique twists that will hopefully add a little theatre to guests' dining experience." Christian has worked at the club for 10 years and has always been keen to open a restaurant within the stadium. He added: "There has long been a demand from fans for us to provide a restaurant facility open outside of match days at the ground and along with my newly recruited team I am very excited about the upcoming opening." The Boot Room Sports Cafe can meet the demand for up to 230 diners, so booking isn't essential. However, we highly recommend you do so during our opening week due to the anticipated interest.
