Liverpool has welcomed its fair share of celebrity chefs over the years, from industry giants like Gordon Ramsey to rising stars such as LuBan chef Dave Critchley.
Over the years the city has said hello - and goodbye - to many celebrity-run businesses, including some that never came to be. While some of the venues did not stand the test of time, others continue on in success.
The likes of Dave Critchley and Ellis Barrie, who opened city centre restaurants just before the coronavirus pandemic took hold, have weathered the storm and come out on top. Others, like Jamie Oliver, have closed up shop and left the city.
