Perfect! We were lucky enough to have a table of 4 not far off from the windows, although in the end it did not really matter as we were surrounded by windows so we could see everything.. The food, the drinks and the service were excellent: the sandwiches , the scones were fresh, the mini cakes were delicious. Great value for money!

My husband, teen daughter, and I very much enjoyed the afternoon tea cruise. We were each able to select our own pot of tea (Earl Grey, Decaf English Breakfast, Peppermint, or Super Fruit), and very much enjoyed the four different sandwich selections (Egg, Cucumber, Salmon, and Coronation Chicken), plus the assorted pastries and scone with clotted cream and jam. Alcohol and soft drinks were also available for additional purchase. The staff was very friendly and efficient, and the crew provided commentary on the sites after guests finished with tea. I really recommend this activity for all age groups.

The tea was very good, and the boat used very spacious, with good views. We sat at the front of the dining area and had panoramic views of the river and the buildings on both sides . Staff were very pleasant and helped make the experience very enjoyable
