The Charcoal Hob

The Charcoal Hob on Prescot Road in Old Swan specialises in Turkish charcoal-grilled kebabs — doner, shish and mixed kebabs in wraps and boxes — alongside pizzas and burgers. Reviewers describe the mixed kebab wraps and strip meals as "brilliant" and the staff as welcoming. The kitchen stays open into the late evening, which suits the Old Swan night trade. Prescot Road's dense commercial strip makes for a competitive environment, and The Charcoal Hob's focus on proper charcoal grilling rather than a rotating electric spit gives it a quality argument on a street where most kebabs are uniform.
