The bestselling cookery writer and teacher at Ballymaloe Cookery School will design exclusive menus for Boulogne-sur-Mer’s new ferry service

Hibernia Line is proud to announce a brand ambassador partnership with Rachel Allen, one of Ireland’s most acclaimed cookery writers and TV chefs, to offer passengers delicious dining experiences on its daily sailings between France (Boulogne-sur-Mer) and Ireland (Cork).

Allen, an esteemed chef and cookery teacher at one of Ireland’s most renowned culinary schools, the Ballymaloe Cookery School, has sold over 3 million cookbooks and presented TV shows around the world. Allen will design and oversee the development of menus on the St Patrick and MV Akka, working hand-in-hand with the ships’ chefs to craft meals for passengers. Hibernia Line sails six days a week between Boulogne-sur-Mer and Ringaskiddy in Cork, Ireland.

Rachel Allen said: “I am thrilled to partner with Hibernia Line to create menus that invite passengers to discover the rich culinary heritage of Ireland. There’s no reason why people shouldn’t expect the very best of ingredients and, thankfully, Hibernia Line passengers will enjoy fresh, local Irish produce.”

Aidan Coffey, CEO and founder of Hibernia Line, said: “We are delighted to welcome Rachel aboard as Hibernia Line’s new brand ambassador. This partnership reflects the strong and enduring connection between Ireland and France that Hibernia Line was built to serve. Rachel’s culinary expertise makes this a truly meaningful collaboration, and there’s no more fitting day to announce it than Bastille Day.”

Cork has a deep gastronomical history and Hibernia Line will champion local ingredients and the traditional techniques Allen has spent a career perfecting.

On board, Hibernia Line passengers will enjoy a menu built around comfort, quality and hearty, seasonal dishes such as delicious Irish roast beef and tender roast lamb with rosemary and garlic, finished with mint jelly. Allen will refresh the menu seasonally, spotlighting acclaimed dishes from Ireland, recognising Hibernia Line’s commitment to better connecting Ireland with mainland Europe.
