In April 2023, the former HQ of Littlewoods morphed into this co-venture between Liverpudlian chef Daniel Heffy and the GSG Hospitality group – a startlingly futuristic space with pod-like seating. The titular ‘Nord’ nods to both good old northern hospitality (Heffy had a hand in local haunts like cult supper club Secret Diners Club and the Buyers Club) and to the chef’s recent stint in Stockholm, meaning contemporary, ingredient-led cooking showcased in a wide range of menus (the most affordable of which is the sharing plates-style Sunday lunch). By early reports, the “beautifully cooked dishes” make it “well worth the journey” – more feedback, please!

“A strong new opening with great food!” – in a Sixties-tastic building that used to be the HQ for Littlewoods (once home to the football pools), Liverpudlian chef Daniel Heffy (ex-Secret Diners Club & Buyers Club) returned from Stockholm to helm this ambitious newcomer. It opened in April 2023 – rather late in the day to generate feedback in our annual diners’ poll – hence we’ve left it unrated, despite one very upbeat early-days report (and the Liverpool Echo and the Confidentials have both waxed lyrical about it).

For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
