Restaurant, bars and function room with stunning views

of the river thames in the heart of London

  

The R.S. Hispaniola is a fully air-conditioned ship with a beautiful, high-quality restaurant, two bars, sun terraces and meeting room. Permanently moored on the River Thames alongside Victoria Embankment by Jubilee Footbridge in central London, convenient for public transport (Charing Cross and Embankment) and London's West End theatre district, the Hispaniola provides a relaxed, gastronomic haven amidst the city bustle. With fabulous views on both decks from St.Paul's round to the Houses of Parliament, and a beautiful river setting in the evening when the South Bank becomes a glitter of fairy lights, the Hispaniola welcomes everyone, from tired visitors relaxing over a morning coffee or afternoon tea to delegates at an all-day business meeting or conference; from couples enjoying a romantic evening meal for two to wedding and party guests.

The Hispaniola's kitchens are renowned for their excellent modern European cuisine with a

menus to appeal to wide range of tastes.

Tapas and Lite Bites

For the ultimate in relaxed eating, tapas is served between 1100 (11am) and 2300 (11pm) (except Sundays and Mondays) and, if you don't have time to eat Spanish-style, our Lite Bites, served until 1700 (5pm) (except Sundays and Mondays), are specially designed for those who just want a quick snack during the day.

Our A-la-carte, Tapas and Lite Bites menus, as well as our wine list and bar tariff are all available additionally in Braille format and large type, for the benefit of our blind and partially-sighted customers.

 

Lunch

If time is limited but you'd like something more substantial than Lite Bites, our set lunch menu will set you up for the rest of

the day.  Of copurse, if you prefer to push the boat out our extensive a-la-carte menu is also available, except on Sundays.

Afternoon tea

For a quintessentially English experience, traditional afternoon tea on the sun terrace (or in the elegant restaurant if the weather is not behaving) cannot be bettered.

Special theatre menu

Going to the theatre or a concert?  Hispaniola is ideally situated for the West End and our special theatre menu is designed with theatre-goers in mind.

Dinner - Supper

Ba's a-la-carte menu is his pièce de résistance. 

Experience one dish and you'll want to return again and again to try the rest of the menu.
