5.00Friendly efficient staff. Good standard of food. Our party all had a great time. My only minor gripe would be that the music was quite loud, which made conversation more difficult. Apart from that, a thoroughly enjoyable experience.
Fantastic evening

5.00We loved this! Food was excellent, staff incredibly helpful and attentive. It was a special way to celebrate my birthday and our anniversary. We paid extra for a window seat which was a good idea! We had an amazing time. I must admit we did get a little worried after reading some of the reviews, however our experience was 1st class.

5.00I did the 3-hour boat trip together with my 20-year-old daughter and there was great food, music and a lot to see. We didn't have VIP tickets and still sat very far ahead with great visibility. The rotating seats were ideal for easy viewing in all directions. The Dinner Cruise I can only recommend.
Fantastic, 100% recommended.

5.00Greeted very warmly and given a welcome drink upon boarding, we had paid extra for a window seat and champagne, but was pleasantly surprised with priority boarding. The courses of the meal were perfectly spaced apart & the food was excellent in our opinion. The service we received was equally excellent, very friendly and welcoming. The views from our window seats were great and also being able to go upstairs for those all important photos is good. Entertainment was very good & generally a nice relaxed atmosphere. Could not fault the experience at all, thank you to all, I would 100% recommend this to anyone and we will book again for next Christmas time.
Terrible food very disappointing company Christmas party

2.00I don’t like writing reviews and even if I am not happy with something I usually would not return to place but not be very vocal about it. I was so not impressed with our evening yesterday that I have to let other people know and not make the same mistakes. It was our company’s Christmas party and I think it was one of the worst. Food- terrible They miss communicated and our vegetarian food or VIP vegetarian snacks did not come. when I provided printed proof of ordering it ,they put it together, came late- looking and tasting bad. Not vegetarian food- terrible.Bad looking and none of the people liked it . We upgraded VIP- it was wasted money. Not worth it. The only good thing about this trip was good views but for the price they charge- not worth it Music- okay, but singer looked a bit lonely figure and definitely vibes were not inviting to dance . And as for company party - we all had to sit at the suppurate tables. It was difficult to be together as a team. So definitely not good for a company party or friends gathering- you would not find it mentioned it on any information pages about evening . It was disappointing to see that we can’t sit together . As a person who organised it and spent a lot of money on it I was disappointed and embarrassed. I thought I did not do good job . Lying in my bad and hoping not to get to many disappointed texts or even worse- people being sick . You have to change food
Nice relaxing dinner cruise on the Thames.
