Mediocre

Beautiful view of London at night when going up on the bridge. Poor quality dinner. Very expensive activity in relation to the quality of service.

A fantastic evening

It was our 18th wedding anniversary and we had an amazing time, I’m extremely happy that I chose this to celebrate our milestone. It was a lovely surprised for my husband, he loves Jazz, so when I saw this advert I thought that this would be the perfect way to celebrate, the food was also delicious. I am planning my next trip 😀

Started late, warm drinks, average food, bit of a waste of money.

Told the boat would leave without us if we showed up late so we got there 15 minutes early. The boat arrived 40 minutes late so we stood in a queue for 55 minutes. The staff left while we were stuck in the queue so we didn't know what was happening. When the boat finally arrived we were greeted with lukewarm drinks and no apology from the staff. The singer was good but the sound system was tinny and rattling. The staff weren't unpleasant but also were not particularly attentive. At one point the captain just parked up next to a load of other boats from the same operator, seemingly so he could have a chat with his mates for half an hour. The drinks we ordered seemed to have been in the fridge for about 3 minutes and then came out in cans or bottles. Despite starting 40 minutes late we arrived bang on time back at the pier due to some noticeable motoring from the captain on the way back so we didn't have much time at all to use the open top on the boat.

Not worth the money

It’s just not worth £120.00 each, the food was terrible. It started off with a tiny something that looked like a pork pie, the main was awful, a very overcooked tiny duck leg that was simply gross with what looked like a tin of lentils. We both couldn’t eat it or though we did try, and the dessert was a stale sort of cheesecake. The drinks and wine are overpriced. The only saving grace was the band and of course the views, the Jazz was excellent. Such a shame we were expecting something better.

Food is not worth the cost.

Very overpriced; food not worth the cost. The jazz singer was lovely and had a great voice, but I would rather spend £120 on a lovely meal and watch jazz separately. The meal definitely let the jazz group down. Save your money, in my opinion.
