5.00Worthwhile and value for money. Rocky start as they forgot to ask us about drinks but quickly corrected and definitely did not spoil the experience

4.00Service was a little slow. I was disappointed that no one was offered a take away box for the un eaten food. Obviously the food will be thrown out and that is just a waste of food.
Good but not exceptional experience

4.00The experience was good but not worth the fee. Service was good but indifferent and disengaged. Maybe if we had ordered champagne or other upgrades, the service would have improved. The tea itself was good but there was no selection of teas. The did was plentiful and also good but nothing striking. The 2 cuts of the same sandwich type was very different with 1 chipotle nibble spicy and the other bland. The river tour and commentary was very good.
