TV chef James Martin to join P&O
P&O Cruises has recruited TV chef James Martin to set up the first cookery school on board a British cruise ship.
Martin will develop The Cookery Club for Britannia, which makes its maiden voyage next March.
He joins master patissier ‘Cake Boy’ Eric Lanlard, in his first venture at sea, a patisserie range in the Market Café in the ship’s atrium.
Fellow chefs Marco Pierre White, Atul Kochhar and Olly Smith will also provide culinary expertise onboard.
Passengers will be offered hands-on cookery tuition under the guidance of all five chefs. Guest chefs will also be invited to the cookery school, which can host classes for up to 24.
Pre registration for Britannia voyages opens today and cruises will go on sale on March 27.
