Freight Island
Freight Island is a food hall meets music festival in a regenerated rail depot beyond Piccadilly Station.
A team that includes key players from Festival No.6, Albert Hall, and Refuge, have taken a desolate industrial space and transformed it into something quite wonderful: a place that brings together exciting food with top DJs with family events with cultural ’happenings’ with live sports screenings with cocktail and craft beer shenanigans.
Take a look at the vendors you can currently find at Freight Island:
The Southern US-style chicken from Pattersons is a huge hit in Liverpool and they’re the newest independent restaurant to join the rosta at Freight Island.
Pattersons chicken is soaked in buttermilk before being coated in their own ‘secret’ spice rub and fried. It’s served in red plastic baskets on greaseproof paper, diner-style, with skinny french fries and pots of gravy for dunking. They also do loaded fries, burgers, and fried cheese options for veggies.
