Last week, I attended the Ubiquity City Social networking event at El Pecado. Located and hidden away on Bold Street in the heart of Liverpool’s Ropewalks, this cosy little Spanish eatery provided an ideal backdrop, to a delightful evening of networking. It was a lovely event to attend, and I came away afterwards not only impressed with the networking, but also of the venue and its homely surroundings.
Arriving at the event early, I was greeted with friendly welcomes and smiles. This was followed by refreshments including tapas that was tasty enough, to satisfy the hungry and salivating appetites. Other refreshments included glasses of sangria and wine, which was certainly popular with several attendees.
The event featured an interesting
mix of people. Naturally there were several familiar faces, including some I
had not seen for a long while, and I was also delighted to meet some new faces
too. These included Heather Anderson of The
Hive Youth Zone, Russell Gannon of Baltic Triangle
Area CIC and Jane Slinger-Brennan of Rutherford
Diagnostics. It was interesting to listen to
their stories about what they do, which not only gave me food for thought, but
also some potential ideas for future blogging content (watch this space).
El Pecado was a homely yet atmospheric restaurant. This is because I noticed how
the tables and chairs were neatly arranged closely to each other. I also noticed
the low-hanging lights on the ceiling and the closeness of the kitchen, which gave
a sense of intimacy. In my opinion, El Pecado has the feeling and touch of an
old-fashioned family-run restaurant with a soul and sense of comfort, fitting in
nicely within the unique community and vibrant surroundings of Bold Street.
My thanks go to Joel Jelen and everyone at Ubiquity PR for organising a fine networking event. I also would like to thank the staff of El Pecado for the tapas, the sangria and the other refreshments, which all helped to make for a lovely evening.
Thanks for reading!
