Restaurant, bars and function room with stunning views

of the river thames in the heart of London

  

Famously featured in the BBC's current TV cooking challenge show, "Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is", we can't guarantee that John Burton Race or Atul Khochhar will be cooking for you, but our Ba Dhiakhaby is a brilliant chef in his own right.  Come and taste for yourself.

The Restaurant Ship 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.

Hispaniola is open from 11am until 11pm (later for special events, private parties etc.) Tuesdays to Saturdays inclusive and from 11am to 6pm Sundays.  We are, however, closed for the first two weeks of January to enable us to carry out our annual maintenance programme (she is, after all, still a ship!) and after lunch on Christmas Day, 25th December, until the end of the year when we re-open at 6pm on New Year's Eve, 31st December, for our New Year's Eve Spectacular Dinner & Dance.

R.S.Hispaniola - London's unique restaurant on the river where everybody is welcome.

Light meals, fine dining

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

Mediterranean twist and talented Head Chef Ba Diakhaby has created a range of mouth-watering

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.
