About Voyagers Restaurant & Bar
Situated in the Ropewalks area, Voyagers has established itself by serving globally inspired cuisine that incorporates local ingredients. The addition of a Sunday roast menu expands its offering, tapping into a cherished British dining tradition while maintaining its unique culinary identity.
A Closer Look at the 'Sunday with Sides' Menu
The new dining experience is structured to allow guests to customize their meal. The menu begins with a selection of snacks, including charred rosemary focaccia with balsamic and olive oil, marinated Gordal olives, and a tomato and red pepper hummus served with flatbreads.
Main Courses
The core of the menu consists of five main course options. Each main is served with a standard set of accompaniments: charred honey-roasted carrots, golden roast potatoes, a Yorkshire pudding, and bottomless gravy. The choices are:
- 12-hour slow-cooked shin of beef
- Fennel and parsley porchetta with crackling
- Lemon and thyme roasted chicken supreme
- Miso and mustard glazed shoulder of lamb
- Chestnut, lentil, and cranberry stuffed portobello mushroom (plant-based option)
Extensive Side Dish Selection
The restaurant highlights its extensive variety of side dishes as a key feature of the new menu. Diners can build their ideal meal by choosing from numerous options. Examples include rosemary salt roast potatoes, hispi cabbage prepared with smoked butter and crispy onions, and maple-glazed parsnips finished with a pecan crumb.
A notable option is the cauliflower cheese, which is made using Mrs Kirkham’s Lancashire cheese. For an additional touch, guests can order the Voyagers bone marrow gravy boat, a tableside serving of rich red wine gravy with roasted beef marrow.
From the Kitchen
The dessert menu continues the theme of classic dishes with a modern twist. Selections include a dark chocolate cremoso with cherry compote and sugared hazelnuts, the signature Liverpool tart with muscovado cream, and a rotating weekly Sunday dessert special.
Chef's Vision for the Sunday Experience
Head Chef Jake Parry explained the philosophy behind the new menu. He emphasized the cultural importance of the Sunday roast as a time for connection and comfort.
“There’s something magical about a proper Sunday roast – it’s about slowing down, gathering around the table and enjoying food that feeds the soul. We’ve taken all the classic elements people love and elevated them with touches like our 12-hour slow-cooked shin of beef and signature bone marrow gravy boat. Sunday with Sides is our love letter to the traditional roast, and we can’t wait to share it with Liverpool.”
Parry's comments highlight the restaurant's ambition to honour the tradition while introducing unique, high-quality elements that distinguish their offering in a competitive market.
New Loyalty Scheme for Diners
Alongside the new menu, Voyagers is launching a loyalty program specifically for its Sunday customers. Diners will receive a stamp for each Sunday roast they purchase. After collecting five stamps, their sixth roast will be complimentary.
The free meal offered through the loyalty scheme includes one main course and two sides, mirroring the structure of the launch day giveaway. This initiative is designed to encourage repeat visits and build a regular clientele for the new Sunday service.
Bookings for the 'Sunday with Sides' menu, starting from 20th October, are now open and can be made through the official Voyagers website.
