This one’s a bit special for us. Delifonseca Dockside wasn’t just one of our first clients – they’ve been with us almost from the beginning and we’ve grown alongside them. It’s been our privilege to work with a business that has become such a defining part of Liverpool’s food scene.
If you’re from Liverpool, you probably already know Delifonseca. Maybe you’ve enjoyed one of their breakfasts, browsed their deli for something unique or popped in for dinner with friends. It’s a place that feels like it’s always been part of the city’s food culture.
But rewind the clock and things were very different. Liverpool wasn’t always known for its food scene – it was often dismissed as a ‘foodie black spot.’ That’s where Candice Fonseca came in.
Candice believed Liverpool deserved better and created a space that celebrated quality ingredients, showcased local producers and offered something truly special.
From the beginning, Delifonseca wasn’t just a restaurant or deli. It was a mission to change the way people thought about food in Liverpool and by championing local suppliers and building a reputation for fresh high-quality produce, it has played a key role in turning Liverpool into a food destination.
Our work with Delifonseca over the years has covered just about everything from social media campaigns, award submissions, events to PR, helping tell their story to audiences across the region and beyond.
But what makes this partnership special is that it has never been about ticking boxes. It has been about shared values – supporting local, prioritising quality and creating something people can feel proud of.
The last few years haven’t been easy for the hospitality sector and places like Delifonseca have felt the impact as much as anyone. Yet through it all, they’ve kept their doors open, kept supporting their suppliers and kept being a place people can rely on.
Every time you visit Delifonseca – whether it’s for a coffee, a meal or something special from the deli – you’re not just supporting a business. You’re backing a vision that has helped shape Liverpool’s food culture and directly supporting local farmers, producers and makers.
Here’s to Delifonseca Dockside and everything they’ve done for Liverpool’s food scene. If you haven’t been in a while, there’s no better time to rediscover what makes them so special.
