TV chef Rachel Allen has been announced as a brand ambassador for Hibernia Line, Ireland’s newest ferry service.

Allen will design and oversee the development of menus for passengers on board Hibernia Line services between Ireland and France.

Hibernia Line sails six days a week between Ringaskiddy in Cork and Boulogne-sur-Mer in northern France.

Allen will collaborate with chefs working on Hibernia Line’s ships, the St Patrick and the MV Akka, and the company will champion local ingredients and traditional techniques that Allen has embraced in her career.

“I am thrilled to partner with Hibernia Line to create menus that invite passengers to discover the rich culinary heritage of Ireland,” said Allen. 

“There’s no reason why people shouldn’t expect the very best of ingredients and, thankfully, Hibernia Line passengers will enjoy fresh, local Irish produce.”

Allen is a bestselling cookery writer and celebrity chef based at the Ballymaloe Cookery School in Cork.

She began studying at Ballymaloe at the age of 18 and worked at Ballymaloe House Hotel and Restaurant after graduating.

She has written 14 cookbooks and appeared in several television series that have been broadcast in 40 countries, including Rachel’s Favourite Food, Bake, Rachel’s Everyday Kitchen and All Things Sweet.

Aidan Coffey, founder and CEO of Hibernia Line, said: “We are delighted to have Rachel Allen join us as Hibernia Line’s new brand ambassador.

“Her culinary expertise is an extraordinary addition to the Hibernia Line experience. We have deep roots in Cork, and Rachel’s heritage will be evident in every dish we serve.”
