Mersey Ferries is on the look out for a new catering partner to join the iconic attraction

Mersey Ferries is looking to partner with one or more suppliers to deliver high quality food and drink on board, at terminals and more. 

Mersey Ferries aren’t just a way to travel on the river, they’re a world-famous icon loved equally by visitors, commuters and local families and now there is a rare opportunity to work with one of the UK’s most well-loved and instantly recognisable visitor attractions. 

Mersey Ferries is looking to partner with one or more suppliers to deliver high quality food and drink on board, at terminals and more. 

The opportunity will also include serving passengers on board the new ferry named Royal Daffodil, which is currently being built at Cammell Laird and will go into service in 2026.

This isn’t just a regular catering contract; imaginative and ambitious food and drink businesses are being given the opportunity to create a brand-new experience for passengers. This contract will give suppliers the chance to play a key role in helping to shape the next chapter of the Mersey Ferries.

Suppliers must share Mersey Ferries customer-led approach, its commitment to excellence, and understand their passengers.
