I was very impressed with the reliability of BSK. They returned my calls promptly and arrived on time. Their menu was varied and all my guests were really impressed with the quality and taste of the food. They were very accommodating and I would most definitely use them again and recommend them.

Really tasty pizzas, and a great mix of toppings. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about how good these were. The staff were great and the van also looks the part! Would definitely recommend.

This was a great addition to our wedding. Luckily we had great weather and loved by all our guests. The ice cream tasted amazing too! With the addition of a sorbet for those who were dairy free. There was an initial lack of communication but close to the time we had a phone call to finalise everything. Would recommend!

We were very pleased with the communication and they were fine with date changes due to covid and the service they provided and everyone at our wedding loved the fountains. They turned up on time and started and finished on time as requested. We would recommend. Thank you Sprinkle with Fairy Dust.

We delivered next level parties for exceptional companies

We also did more than 40,000 birthday parties. Probably, including your neighbour’s recent big bash.

Guide to Outdoor Catering in Liverpool

There's a reason everyone loves Liverpool. It’s a city with an unmistakable swagger, a legendary sense of humour, and a warmth that makes you feel right at home. From the iconic waterfront to the buzzing backstreets, Liverpool is a place that’s always ready for a good time. And when the sun shines on the Mersey, there’s no better backdrop for an outdoor party.

Whether it’s a stylish waterfront wedding, a lively pre-gig party to get you in the mood, or a big family birthday, an outdoor event in Liverpool has a special kind of magic. Of course, no proper Scouse get-together is complete without some top-notch scran. Great food is the soul of the party, the thing that brings everyone together.

As event professionals who have planned our fair share of dos across Merseyside, we know that organising outdoor catering can seem like a logistical puzzle. But trust us, it doesn't have to be. We're here to walk you through everything you need to know, making the process of finding the perfect food for your Liverpool event simple, straightforward, and even a bit of a laugh.

Choosing Your Stage: Liverpool's Top Outdoor Venues

Liverpool’s landscape is a fantastic mix of maritime grandeur, cultural hubs, and welcoming green spaces. Finding the right spot sets the tone for your whole event, and the city offers some truly unique options.

  • Docksides & Piers: With the world-famous skyline as your backdrop, an event on the docks is guaranteed to be memorable. The wide-open spaces are perfect for larger events like charity fun runs, alumni reunions, or a truly show-stopping waterfront wedding.
  • Museum Squares: The city is rich with culture, and the squares outside its magnificent museums and galleries offer a sophisticated and impressive setting. Imagine a drinks and canapé reception before a private viewing or a stylish corporate gathering in the heart of the city's cultural quarter.
  • Townhouse Gardens: Tucked away in areas like the Georgian Quarter, elegant townhouse gardens provide a more intimate and private setting. They are a beautiful choice for a special family birthday or a sophisticated hen party.
  • Rugby & Footy Club Lawns: For a more relaxed, community feel, you can't beat a local sports club. The grounds are perfect for a casual family fun day or a big summer BBQ, with plenty of space for kids to run around and often with a handy clubhouse bar nearby.

Once you’ve got your venue sorted, you can get down to the really tasty part: the menu.

The Main Event: What's on the Menu?

The food scene in Liverpool is brilliant, blending classic comfort food with exciting global flavours. When it comes to outdoor catering, you can find options to suit any kind of event, from the super-casual to the seriously chic.

  • Seaside Fish-&-Chips & Tacos: A genius combination! Why choose between a British classic and a Mexican favourite? Hire caterers who can serve both. It’s a fun, modern twist that’s perfect for a relaxed party atmosphere. One minute you’re enjoying perfectly battered fish, the next you’re tucking into a zesty taco. What’s not to love?
  • Scouse-Inspired Comfort Food: You can’t have a party in Liverpool without considering the local delicacies. Think upscale versions of classic dishes, gourmet pies, or even a modern take on the famous Scouse stew. It’s hearty, comforting, and a brilliant way to give your event a truly local flavour, perfect for a pre-gig party or a family get-together.
  • Mediterranean Mezze & Paella: Bring a taste of the Med to the Mersey. A vibrant spread of mezze dishes, followed by a huge, theatrical pan of paella being cooked live for your guests, is a fantastic option for a summer wedding or a sophisticated corporate event. It's colourful, sociable, and incredibly delicious.

The Bottom Line: A Look at Liverpool Catering Costs

Let’s talk brass tacks. Knowing your budget is key, and it’s helpful to know what you can expect to pay. For great outdoor catering in Liverpool, the typical price range is between £12 and £27 per person.

In the £12–£18 per head bracket, you'll find a fantastic selection of single-offering food vans. This is your sweet spot for things like gourmet burgers, artisan pizzas from a wood-fired oven, or a classic fish and chip van. It’s a cost-effective and brilliant way to feed your guests at an informal birthday party or alumni reunion.

If you push the budget into the £18–£27+ per head range, your options become much broader. This can cover a full Mediterranean mezze and paella service, a multi-course BBQ menu with all the trimmings, or hiring a couple of different caterers to create that festival feel. You're investing in more choice, more complex food, and a more comprehensive service for your guests.

The No-Fuss Way to Plan Your Perfect Party

Organising an event should be an exciting journey, not a stressful chore. Using a platform like Poptop is all about making that journey smooth, simple, and enjoyable from start to finish. Here’s how we help you get from a spark of an idea to an unforgettable event.

  • Enjoy a Friendly, Scouse Welcome: We hand-pick suppliers not just for their amazing food but for their brilliant attitude. You’re booking professionals who know how to create a warm, friendly atmosphere, have a bit of banter, and ensure everyone has a fantastic time.

With everything booked, you should be able to relax and look forward to the celebration, confident that everything is in hand.

  • Plan Without the Panic: We ensure you're kept in the loop with clear communication and updates from your supplier. This transparency removes the anxiety of the unknown, letting you focus on being the host.
