00:00 Hi, I'm Zoe Harrison, I'm the Customer Experience Officer at Haslamarina in Cothwark.

00:07 And tell me where we are and what we're doing here today.

00:09 So, we are on the Lightship restaurant and bar. The Lightship is in Haslamarina, it's our brand new restaurant.

00:18 It's the first floating restaurant in the Solent and we're here today to introduce you to what we have to offer.

00:26 What can people expect from the new Lightship?

00:30 So, the Lightship has been relaunched. This is its third refit and we have moved it up a scale.

00:39 Made it a luxurious, high-end restaurant with a wonderful a la carte menu in the indoor/outdoor area on the middle deck.

00:48 And then the top deck has an outside area where you can come and enjoy the amazing views,

00:53 have a glass of rose, share a platter of seafood, cheese or charcuterie and just take in the atmosphere.

01:00 It's going to be fantastic in the sunshine.

01:02 So, yes, we are very excited because this is the kind of venue that will draw people by car, on foot but also by boat.

01:11 We have our designated car park for boats, which is our berthing area. It's called the Lightship Visitors Area.

01:19 So, you can come by boat and we will berth you near the Lightship and you can come aboard the pontoon and straight onto our boat.

01:27 So, it's an experience that is just much more than just having a meal and something to drink.

01:34 Tell me what are the plans for the future also?

01:37 So, the plans for the future are that this will be essentially a seasonal restaurant,

01:43 although we will be open during the winter months as well for events and for Christmas, probably New Year's Eve.

01:51 So, we're going to really enjoy this space in the summertime when the weather is fantastic
