Marram Grass team to open new restaurant in Liverpool
Ellis and Liam Barrie, the brothers behind Marram Grass in Anglesey, are opening a second restaurant in their home city of Liverpool. Although the name of the new restaurant has yet to be revealed, it will be located in the city’s Royal Albert Dock. Chef Ellis Barrie, who this week appears in BBC Two’s Great British Menu, has earned a growing reputation for specialising in carefully sourced local seafood and rearing his own livestock. Brother Liam says: “We’re incredibly excited to get the site up and running in such a brilliant part of town. I’m confident that my brother’s cooking and our concept will work well in Royal Albert Dock - we’re Liverpool born and bred so we’re really looking forward to being back in the city to showcase what we do.”
