Pilgrim to relaunch following a four year hiatus
Jamie Duffield's Basque-inspired restaurant will relaunch in Liverpool this year. Pilgrim started as a series of pop ups in Dalston back in 2017, then a successful stint on 'Million Pound Menu' led to its first permanent site at Liverpool's Duke Street market. In 2020 Jamie Duffield was diagnosed with brain cancer and the restaurant closed, but he has since fully recovered and found a permanent site for his restaurant on Allerton Road.
