Experience nautical dining onboard the SNARK this winter. â€‹

 

From October to February, the SNARK will be berthed in the centre of Exeter, in the Ship Canal basin, serving great home cooked food and carefully selected drinks. â€‹

​

Venue and Service

Dining on a boat at shared tables

The SNARK is the big green sailing ship moored on the Exeter Canal on Piazza Terracina over the winter. Access is up the ramp, across the deck, through a lift up hatch and downstairs into the main salon.

 

The space is warm and cosy, just right for a winter dinner. There are 20 covers on benches at two long shared tables. 

 

The food will be prepared in the open galley and served in a single sitting in platters and bowls to share. Please introduce yourselves to your neighbours. You will be sharing your meal with them!

​​​

Fixed price set menus

The food is home cooked from fresh local ingredients.

​

The set menu changes every few weeks based on places we have been and loved; Italy, Moorish Spain, China and of course England, plus a few special events to celebrate other cuisines.
