The Daffodil, Liverpool: Thermo-Ayous and Larch for Ferry's Floating Restaurant

1 min read

Dining area with a wood-paneled ceiling, olive-green booth seating, round tables set with wine glasses, and bright curved windows along the wall.

The MV Royal Daffodil, an iconic Liverpool ferry, has been refurbished and transformed into 'the region’s premier floating food, drink and events destination'.

White passenger ferry named DAFFODIL with multiple windows, black hull with a red stripe, and upper-deck railings set against a blue sky with a distant cityscape.

We were delighted to play a part in this refurbishment project, supplying Thermo-Ayous cladding for the restaurant's walls and ceilings and Siberian larch for the ferry's decking (not pictured in this case study).

Restaurant dining area with a long olive-green banquette and chairs, tables set with wine glasses and menus, bathed in natural light from tall windows.

Thermo-Ayous is Ayous which has undergone thermal modification to improve the wood's durability and stability. The process also darkens the wood.

Wood-paneled ceiling with horizontal planks in warm tones; blurred interior with two rectangular windows and a small dark vent on the ceiling.

The beautiful medium-brown tone brings warmth, while the African hardwood's clear-grade, knot-free appearance offers a clean look.

The perfect finishing touch to a contemporary, refined nautical-inspired eatery!

White boat exterior with a black rectangular sign reading DAFFODIL, round cabin windows, two vintage lanterns, and city buildings reflected in the glass.
Round table surrounded by a curved olive-green booth and chairs in a stylish restaurant, set with glassware and cutlery, with pendant lights and plants.
Bright, modern bar with a curved granite counter, copper barware, mint plant, and hanging glassware; blue-green stools and a bartender in back.

Siberian larch (not pictured) was a natural choice for the deck, offering longevity and natural beauty.
