The Navigator’s Table Brings Fire and Rum to Barbados Food and Rum Festival 2026

BRIDGETOWN, Barbados Tuesday October 6, 2026 Barbados is on the menu, and The Navigator’s Table is pulling up a chair. Best Dressed Plate (BDP) brings two experiences to The Crane, its hosting partner, during the Barbados Food and Rum Festival 2026, November 5 to 8, as the island celebrates 60 years of Independence. Friday is FLAME, an open-fire beach BBQ.

Saturday is an 8-course dinner where rum is the guest of honor, in every glass and every course.

The Crane has welcomed guests since 1887 and is widely recognized as the oldest continuously operating hotel in the Caribbean. From its clifftop above the pink sand of Crane Beach on the island’s southeast coast, it is a fitting home for a weekend about where Caribbean food comes from.
