Christmas and New Year aboard the Hispaniola
The Restaurant Ship Hispaniola, formerly Maid of Ashton, has rested at anchor alongside Victoria Embankment since 1973. Having been thoroughly refitted in 2002 to provide two decks of purpose-built restaurant and function room facilities, the R.S. Hispaniola betrays little of her working pedigree. With stunning views upstream towards the Houses of Parliament and London Eye and downstream through the arches of the Jubilee, Charing Cross and Hungerford Bridges to St. Paul's Cathedral, the R.S. Hispaniola offers a haven amidst the city bustle and an ideal venue for your Christmas celebrations. On 31st December she provides a grandstand location for the New Year's Eve firework display.
The restaurant, run by Head Chef Ba Diakhaby, is renowned for its excellent modern European cuisine with a Mediterranean twist and, together with one of the finest wine cellars on the river, you have all the ingredients for a Christmas Lunch, Christmas Dinner or New Year's Eve celebration to remember for a long time to come.
In addition to our extensive a-la-carte menu and set lunch and dinner menus which, for a supplement of £5 during December, can be enhanced with Christmas place settings, our special Christmas packages (see below) are also available for lunch and dinner for individuals and groups.
If you are looking to arrange a special event for a group and company, see also the set menus and cocktail reception menu on the Parties and Corporate Hospitality page: www.hispaniola.co.uk/parties.php
