The restaurant at Clockworks in Wolstenholme Square will be opening in time for Valentine's Day weekend in the city.

Three ambitious young entrepreneurs from Liverpool reopened the Ropewalks-based Clockworks bar in Wolstenholme Square during late December 2024. They are now excited to announce the new opening of the new restaurant arm of the business in time for Valentine's Day.

The 21-year-olds, who all met at Burscough Priory school, Rhys Keeley, Jack Ruttledge, and Ethan Cowling—have extensive experience across various industries.

“We wanted to have our restaurant arm of the business open in time for Valentines Day and our team of Chefs have worked tirelessly to get us open.” - Rhys Keeley, one of the trio of Founding Directors of Clockworks.

Rhys and Jack run LVP Luxury Apartments, a successful apart-hotel business, as well as Parydise Properties, a nationwide property management company. Ethan brings expertise from his construction and social media businesses. Together, they’ve combined their skills to breathe new life into an 18th Century Georgian Liverpudlian Merchant House.

Jack Ruttledge, one of the Clockworks Directors, said: “We are pleased to announce the opening of our restaurant at Clockworks. It has been a busy time for us, first opening the bar in late December and since then working on opening the restaurant side of the business. We are going to be focusing on premium steak cuts, including both Wagyu and Black Angus, sourced from trusted local suppliers.”

Jack added: “Dishes available from our launch on Friday 14th February include 48 Hour marinated Black Angus Fillet, Ribeye and Sirloin, T-Bone and Tomahawk all served with charred on the vine tomatoes, wild flat mushrooms and house dressed rocket & watercress finished with Parmesan shavings. We look forward to welcoming customers this weekend and will have live music on the night from the fantastic Lucy Starr.”

Clockworks reopened at number 11 Wolstenholme Square in late December after a stunning refurbishment. Set in a refurbished 18th-century merchant house where Parr Street opens out into the rejuvenated Square, the interior of Clockworks celebrates its industrial heritage with original features like exposed iron pipes and brickwork, while modern updates, such as sleek new flooring, warm lighting installations and luxurious marble bathrooms elevate the space.

Co-Founder of Clockworks, Ethan Cowling, added: “We have recruited a great team of award winning chefs and are so excited to now have the restaurant side of the business ready to launch. The bar side of the business has been growing each week since we opened 6 weeks ago and now we look forward to operating fully as a bar & restaurant.”

Wolstenholme Square has seen much change over the last few years with a lot of investment injected into the area with several new high rise apartment blocks built, including on the site of the old Cream superclub. Situated in a refurbished 18th Century Merchant House, which is one of the few remaining examples on the Square after the serious damage caused by The Liverpool Blitz during the Second World War.

“The bar side of the business has been growing each week since we opened 6 weeks ago and now we look forward to operating fully as a bar & restaurant.” - Ethan Cowling, one of the trio of Founding Directors of Clockworks.

Rhys Keeley, one of the trio of Founding Directors of Clockworks, said: “We wanted to have our restaurant arm of the business open in time for Valentines Day and our team of Chefs have worked tirelessly to get us open. When we reopen fully on Friday 21st February the Clockworks menu will be extended to include breakfast, brunch and Sunday roasts. As we move into Spring we will also be looking to open up into our courtyard at the rear of the site as well as outside our main entrance.”
