Liverpool's floating restaurant which tours River Mersey enters TripAdvisor top 10

It's no secret Liverpool is full of incredible restaurants, street food markets and fine dining options, but now you can visit one on the River Mersey.

Diners can now enjoy a water tour around the iconic sights of the city's eight docks.

The Floating Grace, located on the stunning Salt House Dock, opposite the renowned Albert Dock, allows visitors to enjoy afternoon teas, a three course evening dinner or even Sunday roast cruises.

There is a licensed bar onboard too and the restaurant has recently moved up to the 8th best restaurant in the Merseyside Area according to TripAdvisor.

After sharing the news on Facebook, fans weren't surprised they made it in the top ten beating 1,440 other restaurants to the acclaim.

One commented: "that's brilliant but I think you definitely deserve 1st place."

While another added: "Brilliant, definitely worth a visit, the food and the staff are fantastic."

The boat began its current iteration back in 2016, when a sailing enthusiast combined his passion for the open water and delicious food together.

Peter Kenny told the EC HO in 2019 that he has been sailing for decades and when The Floating Grace went on the market, he decided to buy it and start the new concept.

He said: "I was over the moon when it came up for grabs, me and my wife looked at and loved it right away, we thought right we’ll do it.

"It needed quite a bit of work, it was a right mess inside, but we took over and completely renovated the inside and started all over again. It’s a fabulous boat."

The boat was awarded the Certificate of Excellence in 2018.

An evening dinner cruise costs £35 pp with the trip taking two hours while afternoon tea excursions are £20pp.

They are already taking bookings for Christmas Cruises at £35pp for a three course dinner or £60pp on Christmas Day.
