So far, on Engage’s big neighbourhood dinner table, we’ve had Spanish, Italian, British food, and a Scandinavian/Scouse hybrid. So, a month in, what’s next? Answer: we’re going to Greece – with the vast, freshly grilled menu at Grilla, Hardman Street. Gyros, souvlaki, halloumi, tzatziki… our mouths are watering already! Say you’ll join us!

This week, ordering from Grilla is super easy. Just submit your order on Uber Eats (£3.50 delivery, no minimum order) or Deliveroo (£2 delivery, £5 minimum order), on Wednesday afternoon, and then join us that evening for our neighbourhood dinner table Zoom call at 6pm.

How does it work?

On Wednesday 22nd April:

1. In the late afternoon – Take a look at Grilla’s delivery menu on either Uber Eats or Deliveroo and place your order. Allow at least an hour for delivery.
2. At 6pm – join our Zoom Room here, on your laptop, phone, or tablet.
3. Connect with your fellow residents, share some stories, and share a meal… and maybe make some new friends!

Why are you doing this?

Liverpool’s retailers, and especially its cafés, restaurants, and bars, are facing an unprecedented challenge as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Meanwhile, residents all across the city centre face the prospect of becoming more and more isolated as this situation goes on.

We, at Engage, want to do our bit to help address both of these issues. Using our network of city centre and waterfront residents, and our contacts with local food providers, we want to help combat the social isolation that many of us are starting to feel. And if we can also share some really good food at the same time, then all the better!

If you have any suggestions for future restaurants, or ideas for how we can support you during this pandemic, please contact us at chair@engageliverpool.com.
