Silver Fork on Marella Voyager
Silver Fork is located on Deck 5 of Marella Voyager and specializes in British dishes presented with a contemporary approach.
The concept is described on the menu itself as a celebration of British cuisine, taking familiar heritage dishes and using modern ingredients and techniques to transform them into something less traditional.
Silver Fork is a chargeable specialty restaurant rather than one of Marella Voyager’s included dining venues. Reservations are recommended, and Marella lists a Smart dress code for the restaurant.
The restaurant offers a three-course à la carte experience as well as a seven-course tasting menu. Vegetarian and vegan dishes are available.
Silver Fork Vegetarian Tasting Menu
The Vegetarian Tasting Menu shown here consists of seven courses.
Rather than simply removing meat from conventional dishes, the menu uses vegetables and plant-based ingredients to reinterpret recognizable British favorites.
The seven courses are:
- Tomato Soup
- Scotch Egg
- Chip Shop Peas
- An Apple A Day
- Signature Vegetarian Wellington
- The Cheese Course
- Marathon Bar
The menu also clearly identifies vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free dishes.
Tomato Soup
The tasting experience begins with Tomato Soup.
The menu describes it simply as:
“A full-flavoured favourite, but not as you expect.”
The dish is marked both vegan and gluten-free.
It sets the tone for the rest of the tasting menu: familiar British food presented in a less conventional way.
Deconstructed Vegetarian Scotch Egg
Next is Silver Fork’s vegetarian interpretation of a Scotch egg.
Instead of the traditional meat-based version, this dish is described as a deconstructed Scotch egg accompanied by:
- Beetroot mousse
- Pumpkin seed
- Truffle crumb
The dish is marked vegetarian.
It is a good example of the restaurant’s overall approach, retaining the identity of a familiar British dish while changing both its ingredients and presentation.
Chip Shop Peas
The third course takes inspiration from another British staple: peas from the chip shop.
Silver Fork serves its Chip Shop Peas as pea fritters accompanied by what the menu calls “all the chip shop favourites.”
The dish is marked vegetarian.
It continues the tasting menu’s theme of taking recognizable British comfort foods and turning them into more elaborate small courses.
An Apple A Day
The fourth course moves in a different direction with An Apple A Day.
This dish combines:
- Green apple crisps
- Apple sorbet
- Vodka-compressed apple
It is marked vegan and gluten-free.
With several different preparations of apple on the same plate, this course also provides a transition before the menu moves into its centerpiece vegetarian Wellington.
Signature Vegetarian Wellington
The Signature Vegetarian Wellington is the most substantial-sounding course on the menu.
Silver Fork’s vegetarian version is made with a traditional soy-and-oat-based Wellington containing:
- Thyme
- Garlic
- Spinach
- Mushrooms
It is served with fondant potato, Yorkshire pudding and carrot prepared three ways.
The dish is marked vegetarian.
Wellington is one of the British classics closely associated with Silver Fork, and this version allows vegetarian guests to experience the concept without the traditional beef filling.
The Cheese Course
The sixth course is simply called The Cheese Course.
It consists of goat’s cheese served with:
- Walnuts
- Beetroot
- Wafers
The dish is both vegetarian and gluten-free according to the menu.
The inclusion of a dedicated cheese course gives the seven-course meal more of a traditional tasting-menu structure before the final dessert arrives.
Marathon Bar
Dessert takes inspiration from the Marathon Bar, the former British name for the chocolate bar now sold as Snickers.
Silver Fork’s version combines:
- Peanuts
- Caramel
- Nougat
- Milk chocolate
The dessert is marked vegetarian and gluten-free.
It is another example of the restaurant taking something familiar and nostalgic and adapting the idea to its modern British dining concept.
Vegetarian, Vegan and Gluten-Free Options
One particularly useful feature of the Silver Fork menu is its dietary labeling.
The menu uses the following abbreviations:
- V – Vegetarian
- GF – Gluten-free
- GO – Gluten-free option available
- VE – Vegan
- VO – Vegan option available
Several courses on this vegetarian tasting menu are therefore suitable for guests with additional dietary preferences.
The Tomato Soup and An Apple A Day are marked vegan and gluten-free, while The Cheese Course and Marathon Bar are marked vegetarian and gluten-free.
As with any cruise restaurant, passengers with allergies or intolerances should discuss their individual requirements with the onboard restaurant staff rather than relying exclusively on menu symbols.

What Type of Food Does Silver Fork Serve?
Silver Fork focuses on British cuisine with a modern twist.
That description becomes particularly clear when looking at this vegetarian tasting menu. Scotch egg, chip shop peas, Wellington and even the Marathon Bar all have recognizable British connections, but the dishes are presented in very different forms from their traditional counterparts.

The menu also fits Silver Fork’s overall concept particularly well because many of the dishes are based on recognizable British foods that have been reconstructed or reinterpreted.
