Really smooth and nice trip along the Thames taking in all the points of interest. Food and staff were good. We had a drink near the end before I ordered I checked we would not be rushed off however, we were asked to leave so we had to leave 1/2 of it. Maybe not offer drinks near the end as they are dear enough and up being wasted, thank you

We went on the Thames river cruise for my 60th. Didn't know what to expect but was really impressed with the boat and the layout... the tables all neatly set. We had a good position at the front of the boat so great views. The 2 course lunch was excellent......chicken in sauce with dauphinoise potatoes and veg. The dessert was divine, a lovely strawberry cheesecake. Staff were excellent and the whole experience was so lovely. The commentary during the second half of the cruise was very good ... both informative and amusing! We will definitely go again and try the afternoon tea cruise or an evening one next time.
