WIRRAL: People travel miles for Nickel City ‘unique’ dishes

Nickel City, on Seabank Road in New Brighton, was established by Cory Isham, who moved to Wirral from Buffalo in New York, after falling in love with New Brighton local Germaine.

The venue, described as 'a true American gem', serves 'unique dishes and specials with a twist'.

On the menu is fresh bread baked by Cory every morning and 'quality home cooked food', the menu is stacked with 'intriguing' dishes throughout the day alongside craft beers on draft and fine wines.

Dishes include Denver Tots (oven crisped tater tots with all the trimmings) and a wide range of stacked sandwiches such as Hot Rueben, Manhattan Hideout and Hot Bronx.

Nickel City’s sandwiches are made with freshly baked focaccia and are said to have become so popular they have branded them and now offer a takeout service with special offers.

Cory said: "I met my wife-to-be Germaine in North Wales when I was at Uni there and after falling in love and getting married we lived in Buffalo for 14 years.

"After having kids it was decided we settle over here in the Wirral and it’s a decision I’m really glad we made as I love it here and love the people.

"I opened Nickel City almost two years ago, wanting to bring something different to the area, and it’s become a big hit."

He continued: "Coming from the U.S, I’ve taken some of the things that have been a great success over the pond, put my own twist on them and created some really unique dishes on the menu.
