Food and restaurants near Anfield

Homebaked Anfield

Good for local speciality · quick pre match food

The strongest food recommendation around Anfield: a community-owned bakery opposite the Kop with proper matchday provenance and specific Liverpool pies rather than generic stadium fast food.

Expect community · local speciality · quick food

Before you go Standard hours are Monday-Saturday 08:00-15:30 and Sunday closed. Check for matchday exceptions before relying on it for a Sunday or late kick-off.

Location and route

Directly opposite the Kop on Oakfield Road. It is exceptionally close to the stadium, although visiting supporters still need to allow time to walk round to the 97 Avenue approach for the away end.

Food & drink

Scouse Pie, Shankly Pie, Vegan Scouse and sausage rolls. The current online shop lists the Scouse and Shankly pies at £4.

Kims Anfield Supper Bar

Good for Arkles stop · fish and chips

The practical food partner to an Arkles stop: a small takeaway beside the pub with recent matchday reviews praising fish and chips, curry and quick service.

Expect takeaway · matchday busy · quick food

Before you go No primary venue website was found. Current listings show Sunday closed, so verify opening before a Sunday fixture and expect queues when the Arkles is busy.

Location and route

Two doors along from the Arkles on Anfield Road. Handy for supporters already using the away pub, but remember the visiting turnstile route runs round towards 97 Avenue.

Food & drink

Fish and chips with curry and peas is the clearest current supporter recommendation; recent reports also praise the speed on busy matchdays.

Anfield Cafe

Good for early arrivals · families

A straightforward family-run cafe next to the Arkles, best for breakfast or an early bite. It fills a useful gap for supporters arriving before the nearby pubs get going.

Expect family cafe · breakfast · quick food

Before you go Published standard hours differ slightly between current listings; the claimed venue page says matchday hours may extend, so check the day’s opening before travelling.

Location and route

Beside Kims and the Arkles on Anfield Road. It is a particularly useful early-arrival food stop for families or supporters who do not want a pub meal.

Food & drink

Breakfasts and breakfast sandwiches are the main reason to use it; the venue-managed listing says it opens earlier on matchdays and stays open to kick-off for night games.

How it works

sit-in and takeaway

81 Anfield Road, Liverpool, L4 0TJ

Sing Fong Take Away

Good for cheap eat · chips and curry

A proper old-school Anfield takeaway lead, useful for chips or Chinese food close to the ground. The attraction is locality and speed, not certainty: published opening information is messy.

Expect old school takeaway · matchday · quick food

Before you go Check before relying on it. Tripadvisor shows broad daily split hours, while a June 2026 listing carries a recent complaint that it now opens mainly for matches.

Location and route

On Walton Breck Road by the stadium, convenient for a quick feed before circling to the away approach. It is a local matchday lead rather than a dependable all-day restaurant.

Food & drink

Chinese takeaway, fish and chips and curry chips; supporter discussion repeatedly treats it as a long-standing matchday stop.

214 Walton Breck Road, Liverpool, L4 0RQ

The Thomas Frost

Good for groups · food and pint

A practical fallback rather than an Anfield institution. Recent away guidance lists it for travelling fans, and its size makes it useful when the closer pubs are packed.

Expect large pub · sports tv · budget

Before you go Away admission is supported by independent and older visiting-club guidance, not a published current Wetherspoon football policy. Expect it to become very busy on matchdays.

Location and route

On Walton Road in Kirkdale, away from the most Liverpool-heavy pubs immediately around Anfield. Current ground guidance puts it about 20 minutes on foot from the stadium.

Food & drink

Standard Wetherspoon menu rather than a Liverpool-specific food stop; useful when a group wants a sit-down meal and pint before walking on.

How it works

bar and table dining

177-187 Walton Road, Liverpool, L4 4AJ

Yates Liverpool

Good for train arrivals meeting in the city centre · away supporters who have fixture-specific confirmation

Yates is a useful city-centre lead rather than a universal away pub. It reopened after a major refurbishment in August 2026 with an upgraded sports setup and new food offer.

Expect city-centre sports bar · large-screen football venue · practical meeting point near Lime Street

Before you go Confirm away admission and colours for the specific fixture. The available away-supporter evidence is explicit but fixture-specific.

1 Queen Square, Liverpool, L1 1RH

Yates Liverpool

Good for train arrivals · group meeting point

That welcome should not be assumed for every opponent.

Expect city centre · sports bar · large group

Before you go Check your own club’s away guide before relying on admission in colours.

Location and route

Queen Square, roughly a three-minute walk from Lime Street and opposite the main bus station. It is a convenient train-arrival meeting point before the 917 or other buses out to Anfield.

Food & drink

Refurbished in August 2026 with a new food offer; useful for breakfast, a pub meal or a quick pre-bus feed rather than destination dining.

Queen Square, Liverpool, L1 1RH

Ma Egerton's Stage Door

Good for train arrivals · small groups

A useful independent alternative immediately around Lime Street. It appears in visiting-supporter discussion as a decent town pub, but there is no evidence of an organised away-fan policy.

Expect historic pub · city centre · quieter meet

Location and route

Behind the Empire Theatre beside Lime Street; CAMRA puts the station around 200 metres away. It is a low-friction train-arrival pub rather than an Anfield-area venue.

Food & drink

Rustic homemade pizzas from the pub’s Old Fashioned Pizza Shop and cheeseboards are advertised midday to 19:00.

How it works

bar

9 Pudsey Street, Liverpool, L1 1JA

Baltic Market

Good for overnight stays · mixed groups

Best used by groups staying in the Baltic Triangle or making a day of Liverpool. Multiple traders solve the usual problem of everyone wanting something different.

Expect food hall · group friendly · overnight area

Before you go Closed Monday and Tuesday under the current published hours. It is not close to Anfield, so build the stadium transfer into your plan.

Location and route

In the Baltic Triangle south of the city centre. This is an overnight-stay/group option, not a ground-side stop; leave time to return towards Lime Street/Queen Square or arrange a taxi to Anfield.

Food & drink

Current traders include Polpetta, Listo Burrito, Nashville Cluck, Spice Thai, Little Furnace, La Bistroteca and Çat Kapı, giving mixed groups far more choice than a single pub kitchen.

How it works

food hall and bar

Cains Brewery, Stanhope Street, Liverpool, L8 5XJ

The Sandon

Good for home supporters wanting club history and atmosphere · supporters using official Liverpool hospitality

The Sandon is one of the defining home-support matchday venues around Anfield. Its current site markets a large fanzone for up to 5,000 Reds, while Liverpool FC sells official hospitality there with pre-match food. It is therefore a strong home-supporter candidate, but current evidence is not strong enough to promise general away admission or away colours.

Expect historic Liverpool FC pub · large home-supporter fanzone · live-music matchday atmosphere

Before you go General-pub access and official hospitality are different products. The official hospitality offer requires the relevant hospitality ticket; do not assume walk-in food or away access from hospitality details.

166-182 Oakfield Road, Liverpool, L4 0UH

Hotel Tia

Good for supporters wanting a drink and pizza close to Anfield · visitors who prefer a hotel-bar setting to a traditional pub

Hotel Tia currently promotes a matchday bar, front beer garden and rear terrace, with live screenings and its Pizza Tia food offer. The venue says its matchday lounge is used by regulars and visiting fans, but that wording does not clearly establish admission for supporters of the away team, so away access and colours remain unconfirmed.

Expect matchday hotel bar · front beer garden and rear terrace · live match screenings

Before you go Do not interpret 'visiting fans' on the hotel site as a guaranteed away-fan policy. Fixture-specific admission and colours were not found in a current published rule.

21 Anfield Road, Liverpool, L4 0TE

Liverpool FC Fan Zones - Paisley Square and Anfield Road Family Park

Good for families attending Anfield · home supporters wanting an official pre-match build-up

Liverpool FC's current matchday setup includes fan zones at Paisley Square and the Anfield Road Family Park. The club's 2026 access statement says the fan zones open four hours before kick-off and provide live entertainment, food, drink and retail; current kick-off-specific pages list family activities, music, competitions and Mighty Red appearances.

Expect official pre-match fan zone · live music and activities · family-focused Anfield Road area

Before you go Opening times depend on kick-off. A 2025 visiting-club guide said away supporters were welcomed, but the current 2026 Liverpool FC pages do not explicitly restate away-team admission or colour rules, so those fields remain unknown.
