POPULAR Liverpool restaurant The Art School reaches its 10th anniversary this September.
Chef Patron and owner Paul Askew said: “We’ve been building up to this truly momentous occasion for some time now and can’t wait to celebrate with everyone. It’s been a life-changing journey to reach a decade of The Art School and for everyone who is part of our story. We took a leap of faith back in 2014 when we first set eyes upon our fledgling home on Sugnall Street and the adventure has not stopped.
“My treasured team including Vince, Rob, Cathy, Esther and Sarah have been with me for the journey so far and continue to shape how we evolve as a bastion of fine-dining in the region. My team are truly like family to myself and Harry, my son; we value them immensely as friends and colleagues. Harry himself is an integral part of all we do and of course my wonderful wife Helen lovingly supports us. Looking back, I always wanted to have complete control in my own kitchen and after working my entire life in hospitality, The Art School is where this dream has finally been able to happen with everyone’s support, where we create our culinary art.”
“We’ve had so many wonderful guests each day, week and year, and everyone has played a part in The Art School’s story. We’ve got some great events lined up as we celebrate our decade, including Lynda La Plante joining us on Thursday 5th September for a special evening to celebrate the launch of her memoir.”
The Art School is set inside the Victorian 1888 ‘Home for Destitute Children’ building. The Lantern Room’s menus celebrate the best of the region’s seasonal produce including tasting and prix fixe choices alongside a global wine list, champagne and cocktails.
The Art School Cellars Bar offers Afternoon Tea and cocktails, as well as a private wine tasting space and The Moriarty Room for small gatherings.
