Liverpool Street was once a major Victorian terminus, the area has transformed into a modern centre for business, travel, and leisure, offering a diverse mix of attractions and experiences.
And amidst this dynamic street, you’ll find the friendly Irish hospitality and culinary magic of lively Daffodil Mulligan, a gem from the renowned Corrigan Collection.
Liverpool Street
Liverpool Street is home to Liverpool Street Station, the UK's busiest station, connecting you to the city and beyond with trains, buses, and the Underground. Major airports like Stansted are also easily accessible here. Alternatively, step back in time at the Bishopsgate Institute, explore Roman ruins under Bloomberg Space, or marvel at the Victorian grandeur of the station itself. If you prefer modern London architecture, gaze upwards at The Gherkin's iconic silhouette, wander through the futuristic Broadgate complex, or soak in the panoramic views from Sky Garden's verdant oasis.
Not too far away, you’ll also find an assortment of restaurants near Liverpool Street, the most notable being the warm-hearted and lively Daffodil Mulligan, affectionately known as Daffy’s.
Liverpool Street restaurants
For some of the best food, one of the finest Liverpool Street restaurants is the iconic Daffodil Mulligan. More than just a restaurant, Daffy’s is a London portal to a world of warm Irish hospitality, innovative yet authentic cuisine, and the unmistakable "craic" that defines the Emerald Isle.
Forget bland stereotypes, Daffodil Mulligan redefines Irish fare with a modern twist. Delicious creations like the flavourful Cauliflower Bhaji offer crispy bhaji with the sweetness of smoked pineapple and the richness of cashew cream. From the sea, the tasty Tempura Soft Shell Crab is crispy perfection balanced by the fiery kick of gochujang and the refreshing coolness of lime yoghurt and cucumber & mango. If you’re craving something heartier, the Smoked Pork Belly beckons, its smoky allure enhanced by the sweet tang of date purée and the tart crunch of pickled blackberry. Also on the menu is Soy & Sesame Glazed Duck, a succulent flavour harmonising with the sweet & sour crunch of cabbage, the delicate bite of a prawn spring roll, and the delightful surprise of plum jam. As well as a Salt & Chilli Fried Chicken you will simply have to taste for yourself to believe the incredible crunch and powerful flavour.
Just like the rest of the Corrigan Collection, Daffodil Mulligan champions seasonal produce, crafted with the utmost love and affection, and the classic Corrigan flair.
Cheers to that
The Daffy’s drinks menu extends the warm Irish welcome to your glass, with a diverse selection of drinks to pair with your meal, toast to special occasions and sip, clink and cheers. For those special occasions, or simply when life calls for bubbles, raise a toast with a glass of Piper-Heidsieck champagne. Wine enthusiasts can travel to the Loire Valley with a crisp and refreshing Domaine Guy Allion, Sauvignon de Touraine, or discover the sunshine of South Africa with a vibrant Radford Dale, Chardonnay. Bordeaux lovers can savour the smooth elegance of the Chateau des Annereaux, while those seeking something different can explore the rosè & orange wine selections, finding the perfect partner for your Daffy’s dinner.
Beer lovers are not forgotten. Enjoy a perfectly chilled Heineken or the rich, malty flavours of Birra Moretti on tap. And, of course, no Irish bar would be complete without a perfectly poured pint of Guinness. Lucky for you, you’ll find a truly cracking one at Daffodil Mulligan.
But the drinks menu goes beyond these classic choices. The bartenders at Daffodil Mulligan are skilled in crafting innovative cocktails that showcase unique flavour combinations. The Blood Orange and Jalapeno Margarita is a spicy little treat, while the Big Gerry No Way is refreshing and tart. So, raise a pint and toast to good times, fantastic food and great company!
