Set sail on a mouthwatering Mediterranean adventure on Queen Victoria and enjoy an exclusive culinary residency with renowned chef Nathan Outlaw. On select voyages from July to September 2025, discover the magic of Mediterranean flavours through captivating culinary events on board, including live cooking demonstrations, book signings, and Cunard Insights talks. Enhance your voyage further by reserving a table for the Fish Kitchen at The Verandah* dining experience to take your taste buds on a unique journey through the flavours of this sun-drenched region.
Outlaw’s ethos is all about letting the ingredients sing. He uses high quality, freshly caught fish, served simply. During his five-day residency on board, the seafood featured in the Fish Kitchen at the Verandah* menu will come from Barcelona’s fish markets. Here, Outlaw will choose from the day’s catch, which will go on to dictate the menus that you’ll see on board.
Lobster. Tuna. Scallops. Anchovies. The fruit de mer in this part of the world are varied and flavoursome, and with Outlaw’s skill, each plate is sure to bring a depth of flavour and artistry you’ll not soon forget.
Plus, in addition to sampling some extraordinary cuisine, you’ll also have the chance to meet and chat with this well-loved chef at a book signing, learn about his life and cooking style at a Cunard Insights talk, and glean tips at his live cooking demonstration.
Nathan Outlaw
As his name suggests, Nathan Outlaw's reputation is anything but ordinary. His career began early, working alongside his father, a chef, before gaining experience in London's prestigious five-star hotel restaurants. However, it was by the sea that Nathan truly found his forte.
Working under Rick Stein in Padstow, Nathan honed his skills and developed a deep appreciation for coastal cuisine. He quickly moved through a series of coastal restaurants, earning his first Michelin star at the age of 25 for The Black Pig.
In 2006, Nathan opened Restaurant Nathan Outlaw, which achieved remarkable success, earning two Michelin stars, four AA rosettes, and a rare 10/10 from the Good Food Guide. The restaurant was also named the UK's number one restaurant in 2018.
Nathan's latest venture, Outlaw's New Road, is a homage to the glorious Cornish coast and was awarded a Michelin star in 2021. Additionally, he owns the Michelin-starred Fish Kitchen in Port Isaac, which further showcases his culinary excellence.
Passionate about sustainability and local produce, Nathan Outlaw is dedicated to sourcing the finest ingredients from local suppliers, ensuring that his dishes are not only delicious but also environmentally responsible. His innovative approach to seafood has solidified his status as one of the UK's most esteemed chefs.
