FREDERICKS, the popular Hope Street live music and dining venue is launching a new food offer developed with Executive Chef and twice Great British Menu contestant Dave Critchley.
With a career that includes leading some of the North West’s top restaurants, earning two AA Rosettes, and working with Liverpool Football Club for four years, Dave Critchley brings a wealth of expertise to Frederiks. His experience also extends to catering for professional sports stars and local celebrities.
He said: “The brief from the Fred’s team was simple: ‘We want guests to feel like they’ve been fed.’ I started by reimagining some of Frederiks’ much-loved dishes and introduced a selection of new options, all crafted for incredible flavour—without counting calories.”
The Spring menu takes inspiration from a fusion of Italian and American cuisines, featuring informal sharing plates, hand-shaped Pizzettes, and indulgent desserts designed for comfort-eating and taste.
Highlights include; Mac and Cheese with Colman’s mustard, parmesan, and black truffle; Salt Cod with crushed pea, mint, and lemon butter; and a refreshing Watermelon Salad with pumpkin seeds, mint, lemon, and crumbled goat’s cheese.
In a nostalgic nod to Frederiks’ original 2014 menu, Sliders have been reinvented for 2025 with options like smash burgers, buttermilk chicken, and roasted jackfruit with bourbon sauce and pomegranate slaw.
Desserts include Frederiks’ signature Cinnamon Doughnuts served with warm jam and Nutella, New York Cheesecake with white chocolate and raspberry, and a reimagined Sticky Toffee Pudding featuring sticky Medjool dates and dairy ice cream.
Alongside the refreshed food menu, Frederiks bar team have revisited its decade-old cocktail collection, reviving classics and introducing exciting new creations, including:
Midnight on Hope Street – a smooth yet bold mix of Evan Williams bourbon, shiraz, and almond syrup, Chica En Fuego, a fiery cocktail which packs a punch with tequila, jalapeño and pineapple; and the Cucumber Rose Collins, which blends gin, rose, cucumber, and grapefruit.
Frederiks’ kitchen will stay open late on live music nights. Guests can enjoy food alongside Hope Street Jazz – which runs Tuesdays to Thursdays and Secret Improvisors Club on Fridays, which features jazz performances followed by DJ GloryTo spinning jazz, funk, and soul into the early hours.
For reservations, call 0151 708 9574, visit www.frederikshopestreet.com, or pop in to speak with the team.
The new menu launches on April 15.
