She added: 'We wanted to devise something that’s both playful, jam packed full of flavours, while paying homage to some of the best dishes that have come out of the countries competing. It was also really important to us that we showcased local talent too, so the evening will be the perfect way for both our regulars and visitors to Liverpool to celebrate what is sure to be a brilliant few days.'

We think that the choir will get the place rocking as they sing through some of the classic Eurovision winning songs. With food from around the world and a classic Eurovision soundtrack – we are celebrating history in the making and there’s no better way to spend Friday night than getting in the mood for Saturday’s Grand Finale.' - Candice Fonseca, Proprietor of Delifonseca,
