An excellent afternoon out on the Afternoon Tea cruise. All the staff were friendly and professional and the food was delicious with plenty tea and coffee too. We had opted for the Prosecco Afternoon Tea which included a whole bottle of fizz not just a glass each as is the case with many other providers which was a real bonus. Lovely scenery, comfy seating and even the drizzle couldn't spoil it. Would highly recommend.

We hired the boat yesterday, it was amazing and something different for the kids. This was our first time on the self drive boats and it was made easy due to the professional support by the staff prior to setting off. I would definitely recommend it Rating 10 out of 10
