Polpetta coming to Liverpool’s first food hall this July

11 June 2023

Liverpool’s own UFC star Meatball Molly and business partner and chef Joel McCarthy to open a brand new food concept in Baltic Market.

The pair will bring a brand-new food concept this July to Liverpool’s first food hall, Baltic Market, delivering knock-out flavours, HUGE energy, mighty meatball subs and punchy pasta.

Polpetta (meatball in Italian) will be an incredible Italian kitchen and deli, bringing you subs by day, and pasta at night; we’re so excited for them to join the tastiest food line-up in Liverpool!

Molly McCann may be known by many as “the Meatball” one of the most recognisable names in UFC the last few years, but Molly is so much more; an ambassador at ‘Gloves up, Knives down’, a mental health advocate and now; a restaurant owner.

Joel has been running his own business, macro chef, for the last few years, amassing a following of health-conscious and flavour-hunting patrons by serving up the healthiest and tastiest macro meals, including custom plans for Molly and Next Gen MMA.
