Top 5: Floating restaurants in the UK

Glassboat – Bristol – http://www.glassboat.co.uk/

Right in the heart of Bristol, this incredibly stylish restaurant is a real gem to visit. Soak in the stunning city and harbourside views whilst enjoying classic French dishes in the carefully restored surrounding – including original wooden decks and portholes. With a 3-course lunch available for only £12, there’s really no excuse not to try it out!

River Exe Café – Exmouth – http://www.riverexecafe.com/

This custom-built restaurant in Devon is accessible only by Puffin Water Taxi from Exmouth Marina. Floating in the middle of the estuary, the restaurant offers a truly unique dining experience whether you want drinks, a special meal or a private party. With spectacular views (possibly even the best in Devon) this is a brilliant place to enjoy fresh food on the water.

The Royal Yacht Britannia – Edinburgh – http://www.royalyachtbritannia.co.uk 

Having served Her Majesty The Queen and the Royal Family for over 40 years and sailed over 1 million miles worldwide, the Royal Yacht Britannia can now be found in Edinburgh for people to discover this truly special location. As part of your visit, we’d recommend a trip to the Royal Deck Tea Room where you can enjoy homemade food, freshly prepared on board right where the Royal Family would have dined with incredible views. We particularly liked their retro milkshakes!

Feng Shang Princess – Regents Park – http://www.fengshang.co.uk/galleries/

It’s hard to miss this restaurant in Primrose Hill. The floating red pagoda was handcrafted in the 1980s and its two storeys are adorned with lanterns which make it wonderfully picturesque. Better still, it offers tasty Chinese food which, combined with top service and great surrounds, makes it a brilliant experience all round.

Tattershall Castle – Embankment – http://www.thetattershallcastle.co.uk/

Officially launched in 1934, this ferry was built to transport passengers across the Humber estuary with additional trips added on Sundays. Since then, the boat has been used for everything from the war effort to housing an art gallery. Refurbished in summer 2015, the new-look Tattershall Castle now offers entertainment right on the Thames. With various rooms and vast decks, there’s bound to be somewhere for you whether you’re looking to drink, dine or party.
