A Liverpool restaurant is closing after less than three years.
Owners of Lerpwl, on the Albert Dock, have announced its closure effective immediately after they claim the landlord demanded a £30,000 payment in a dispute over pandemic rent debt. Liverpool born brothers Liam and Ellis Barrie opened Lerpwl's doors in 2020 after gaining a glowing reputation in the hospitality industry.
The brothers began their restaurant adventure in 2009, serving hungry campers with Ellis in the kitchen and Liam front of house on a caravan park in North Wales. They then opened their first restaurant Marram Grass, in Anglesey which was awarded multiple accolades including being recognised by the Good Food Guide.
