Luxury floating hotel, Fingal has retained its two AA rosettes for culinary excellence for the fourth year running.

Head chef Pedro Barreira, and restaurant chef, Andrea Sendon Alonso, are the driving force behind Fingal's award-winning Lighthouse Restaurant and its galley team of 14 hospitality professionals.

Franck Bruyère, chief executive of Fingal and The Royal Yacht Britannia, said:

“We’re absolutely thrilled to keep our two AA rosettes – it’s a huge recognition of the incredible work our team puts in every single day.”

“This award is all about consistency and quality, and that comes down to the passion and skill of our chefs and hospitality team. I am so proud of them all.

“The inspectors loved our focus on fresh, seasonal ingredients and the way our chefs bring flavours together with real flair and precision – and that’s exactly what we aim for with every dish.”

Served in the ship’s Lighthouse restaurant, Fingal’s galley team have created a new, festive afternoon tea, which is now being served daily between 12pm and 3.30pm until 4 January 2026.

Some of the delicacies on offer include freshly baked buttermilk scones, a coconut snowball with caramel praline and gingerbread with Mouneyrac pear and Valrhona chocolate. The afternoon tea costs £60 per person (£80 accompanied by a glass of champagne).

Open to residents and non-residents throughout the festive period, Fingal offers a choice of private dining booths for small pre-booked groups. Festive private dining for up to 60 guests is also available in Fingal’s ballroom.
