Sunday Lunch and Tour of Brunel's SS Great Britain
Overview
Step aboard the SS Great Britain and enjoy a spectacular Sunday Roast. Dine in the ship’s opulent First Class Dining Saloon and sit in the same surroundings as the Victorian passengers who voyaged on board the ship over 100 years ago.
Two and three course options are available. If you do not already have a valid annual ticket or membership, you must purchase Lunch + day ticket. An admission ticket is mandatory for access to site, and you will be refused entry without one. The admission is discounted at £7.50 instead of the normal day ticket price of £22.
Includes
- Spice Host
- Admission ticket (unless you have a valid membership or annual ticket)
- 2 or 3 course lunch
Extras
- all drinks
- any other refreshments
- any merchandise
I have booked lunch at 1pm, so the plan will be to meet and explore, then be at the First Class Dining Saloon to be seated for our chosen time. This will give us lots of time to explore the ship before lunch.

By Car
Parking is available at the Maritime Heritage Centre car park (location 2761 on Ringo) next to Brunel’s SS Great Britain. It is operated by Bristol City Council. A partial parking refund is available to day visitors to Brunel’s SS Great Britain ensuring that the maximum you will pay for parking is £5 (for 5 hours)*.
Pay and display machines in the car park only accept cash (and only coins). Please bring up to £12.50 in coins if you wish to pay in cash. Alternatively, you can pay by card using the Ringo website.
