Traveling down the University Regatta Course passing Christ Church Meadows, the University College Boat Houses and other landmarks on the way to Iffley lock.

Passing through the lock at Iffley is an experience in itself. The river scenery and fascinating buildings combining to form a picture perfect location. Beyond Iffley the boat travels in to the tranquil water meadows that surround Oxford and there are abundant opportunities to spot wildlife amongst the green banks and overhanging willows.

The traditional menu includes*: • An Selection of Finger Sandwiches • Homemade Scones with Strawberry Jam, Clotted Cream and Fresh Strawberries • A Selection of Cakes, Tarts or Petit Fours • Tea*Drinks to take aboard can be purchased at the departure point.

3.00The food was solid and the weather was wonderful. The actual tea was a bag in water rather than brewed which was disappointing. The “tour” was disappointing as well with no narration of what we were seeing or the history.
Relaxed teatime

5.00It was really quite relaxed and you got a great selection for teatime. You drive along Oxford rowing clubs and through a lock.
Great snacks, nice boat...

5.00The trip was beautiful and very well organised . We were given alternatives in relation to the route. The food was lovely and we were made to feel very much at home and relaxed
Extremely Overpriced

2.00Unfortunately, this event did not rise to expectations. We begin with the fact that there is no parking close to the restaurant. As two in our party have mobility issues, this started the day on a bad note. The morsels on the tea tray were fine but actually, it amounted to one sandwich per person, cut into quarters, a macaroon per person, two scones per person with Devon cream & a pot of jam, and a few other sweet items...nothing near what one would expect of a tea costing what this tea cost. The trip was uneventful. We were not treated to any facts along the journey, it was just a slow, rather boring ride on the river without passing any historical interest. We wanted to share this with family who flew in for the week but we were disappointed with what turned out to be a lack-lustre experience. So...no, we will not return nor will we recommend it.
