Curious cocktails, Champagne and of course…cake!
In Voyager, we’re all about taking you on a journey across the 7 C’s of curiosities, cocktails, Champagnes, craft spirits, craft beer, cake and above all the original builder and proprietor of the Somerville hotel from 1881 to 1934 – Mr J.W. Chapman.
By all accounts, Mr J.W. Chapman was a loquacious character who had a fantastic reputation for fun, festivity and fine beverages from across the world so any time spent in his St Aubin lounge bar was known to be ‘Bang up to the Elephant’. He would regale his many guests with stories of great voyages and the curiosities he’d collected, over a glass of something delicious, which is why we have continued his legacy to this day.

Fun, festivities & fine beverages
For starters, savour something special from our decadent Curiosity Cocktail Menu where we introduce you to the timeless classics but with a curious twist!
If you’re fonder of the finest of French fizz (Mr J.W. Chapman’s favourite), choose from one of our extensive range of excellent value Champagnes by coupe, bottle or magnum – as your thirst demands it!
If these still aren’t your speed, we have probably the best selection of beverages of any bar in St Aubin with a wide selection of gins, rums, whiskeys, whiskies (not a typo), liqueurs, cognacs, calvados’s, aperitifs and pretty much every other beverage capable of changing you from a church mouse to ‘Church Bell’ in no time!
Our ever-popular afternoon tea is regularly referred to as one of the best in Jersey, and it’s easy to see why. Elegant cakes, carefully crafted by the pastry team, combined with one of our aforementioned libations and our stunning sea views over St Aubin are a time-honoured tradition and a must on your list of things to do while in Jersey.
Mr J.W. Chapman
Mr J.W. Chapman was a real person and most of this is true. We invite you on a voyage across nearly 140 years of history into what was once his private bar, to ring up your ‘Chuckaboo’s’ and come one, come all for a ‘Nanty Narking’ time! – or in other words, put on your tightest trousers, call up your best friends and come and drink Champagne in one of the best bars in Jersey.
Undeniably delicious decadence...
A Jersey afternoon tea in Voyager at the Somerville above St Aubins harbour is undoubtedly one of the best ways to spend an afternoon in Jersey.
Delicate, home-made cakes, fluffy-centered scones with glamorously rich clotted cream and luxury preserves are like “butter upon bacon” as the Victorians would say, and the perfect accompaniment to a resplendent tidal view over the bay and of course thoroughly good company to boot!
Savour one of our splendid signature cocktails or a crisp coupe de Champagne for an experience that will have you smiling like a “gigglemug” until the following morn. Splendid!
