It was obvious only a few months in the 2019/20 season that Liverpool would be winning it.

But then the Covid pandemic arrived and the subsequent lockdown meant the team lifted the trophy in front of an empty stadium, with pubs and bars operating table service only with limits on how many people could visit.

Peter Schriewersmann, 41, who runs Hotel Anfield on Anfield Road, was disappointed that they could not make the most of it.



We’ve got a decent sized community now as a hotel, but we get that many people contacting us that have never been saying, ‘can I just walk in?

General orders have been doubled, staffing has been doubled, it's going to be a really busy day.”

Entry to both Hotel Anfield and The Sandon is free, with space for walk-ins on the day.

But it’s not just pubs and Liverpool fans who are excited either.

She’s not a huge football fan but considers herself an Everton supporter, as do the majority of staff who work there.

Talking about what this weekend will mean for Homebaked, Angela said: ”Most people and businesses around here are getting geared up that it's going to be a busy weekend.

Angela praised the Liverpool fans whose constant praise for their pies makes sure they can stay open when the reds aren’t playing too.

Angela said: “I’m not a big football fan but talking to people who come to the match and people who are Liverpool supporters, they're looking forward to it.

“We want to thank the supporters who come in and help keep us afloat when there's no matches on because then they're all part of what helps us keep a community business which pays its staff the living wage.

“The tour guides, people who work at Liverpool and just people who go to the matches will always tell others, go and visit Homebaked.

“People sometimes think that being a community business means everything should be free, but that's not how it works because you've got to pay rent, the electric and the staff’s wages.
