Princes Wharf, Bristol BS1 4RN
The Matthew is part of Bristol’s history, having been sailed by John Cabot in 1497 from Bristol to Newfoundland. And now the reconstruction is open to guests. It’s a hit for Avon Gorge trips, but few know you can enjoy a meal on board the ship. The Matthew often offers “fish and chips excursions” where diners can enjoy a sail and meal on board.
