"It's like a second home for people, it's not just a café", says Lin Sunner.
Lin, 68, is in charge at Sans Café, which has been found on Lightbody Street in Vauxhall since the 1960s. At first, it feels an unlikely location for such a place - the café's red and yellow exterior makes for a striking change from the surrounding industrial landscape.
The ECHO visits Sans on a bitterly cold Tuesday afternoon, as Liverpool's Northern Docks have a coating of snow and ice. Inside the café, Lin and her family work to prepare their extensive menu of Chinese and English dishes.
