Liverpool cheap eats: Come with me to A Small Fish in a Big Pond

Determined to better support and champion our local, independent businesses, I’m on a mission to find high-quality, budget-friendly options for eating out in Liverpool. As part of my ‘Cheap Eats’ series, I will be exploring the city’s hidden gems which offer good value for money and an overall pleasant experience. Only sharing my honest opinions, the places I visit are chosen based on local’s recommendations or because they have a reputation for offering affordable meals.
My latest choice was A Small Fish in a Big Pond, located on Water Street. With a Google review rating of five out five stars and ranking as Liverpool’s number one choice for coffee and tea, it had been on my list for a while, with a number of customers praising its reasonable prices.
Situated inside the beautiful Oriel Chambers building, lovely bunting donning the cafe’s name makes it easy to spot and I headed in at around 1.00pm on a weekday to grab myself some lunch. Originally planning on sitting in, I found that all of the tables were already taken so decided to order my meal to take away.
