Cruises

Marella Cruises has launched its newest gastropub concept restaurant, Piccadilly’s, across the entire fleet of ships, which will be available within the all-inclusive offering from June 2025.

Piccadilly’s, the third new restaurant to launch in the main dining areas across all ships, brings guests a relaxed British dining experience with more choice and variety than ever before.

Featuring a rotating menu of beloved British classics, it offers that comforting “home from home” feel that customers know and love. The days when British pub fare meant little more than chicken in a basket are long gone. Today, the UK’s culinary reputation is defined by a vibrant gastropub scene, where Michelin-starred chefs are just as likely to be found in a country local as in a city pub. "Piccadilly’s reimagines traditional favourites with a modern twist—delivering the kind of elevated gastropub menu that celebrates the best of British cuisine.
Piccadilly’s will introduce a varied range of new dishes and sharing plates, including: ‘Chicken or the Egg’, which is a unique starter consisting of smoked chicken terrine, crispy soft hen eggs and piccalilli; ‘Chicken Cock-a-Leekie’, a stuffed roast chicken main meal with vegetables, ‘Great British Burgers’ (Sharing Plate) which includes beef, Yorkshire pudding, pork, chips and coleslaw; and ‘The Arthur Duke Pasty Duo’ (Sharing Plate), pork, apple and apricot wellington and pulled beef, mushroom puff pastry served with vegetables. For dessert, customers can indulge in a tasty Orange Jaffa Cake, which comes with orange jelly, 70% dark chocolate and candied orange.

The rest of menu hits the spot for those British classics, including starters such as Chips & Gravy, Devilled Chicken Livers on Toast, Smoked Salmon Roulade, Leek and Potato Soup, Mushroom Soup and Smoked Haddock & Leek Pasty.

Pub favourites for mains include ‘Angus Beef and Yorkshire Pudding’ roast dinner, ‘Steak and Ale Pie’, ‘Roast Chicken Dinner’, ‘Sole Kyiv’, ‘Vegan Steak and Chips’, ‘Curry Mile’ a tikka vegetable short crust pie with dal makhani, ‘The Chippy’ a beer battered whiting, steak cut chips, pea fritter and pickled wally.

For dessert, options also include ‘Warm Apple Fritters’, ‘The King of Rice Puddings’ served with meringue, strawberry and compote, ‘British Cheese Selection’, ‘Homemade Ice cream and Sorbet’, ‘Chocolate Bourbon’ sandwiched in ice cream, ‘Queen of Puddings’ which includes egg and jam with pudding torched meringue and a ‘Chocolate & Vanilla Choux Bun’.

For those who want even more variety, there’s additional payable dishes, such as ‘Seafood Thermidor Frites’ (£11.95), ‘Rack of Lamb’ (£11.95), ‘Pan Seared Sirloin Steak’ (£11.95) and a decadent ‘Belgian Chocolate Dome’ (£4.45), filled with salted brownie, almond chocolate ganache, orange marmalade, vanilla ice cream and topped with hot caramel sauce.

Luke Saunders, Food and Drink Development Manager at Marella Cruises said: “We are pleased to be launching this latest innovative concept restaurant onboard all of our ships, Piccadilly’s. After a successful trial across a couple of ships, we have seen great appetite for a range of hearty British favourites – from elegant desserts to comforts that taste like home. We can’t wait to see our customers reactions to this new restaurant concept.”

The 250 seated capacity walk-in Piccadilly’s restaurant will be open from 18:00 – 21:00 every day and will provide the unrivalled service onboard by the crew which Marella Cruises’ prides itself on.
