STREET FOOD

Great flavours from around the world - served Street style! A great informal crowd-pleaser.

SEATED DINNERS

Classic dishes and flavour combinations created with flair and a firm eye on plate presentation.

Hot Fork Buffets

Classic variety, and perfect for most events. Flavour and value but still totally delicious, and presented with care.

Canapes

Bite-sized favourites! A few before the main event, or plenty to fill up on. Huge variety and some little works of art too.

Finger buffets

From honest to goodness sandwich and wrap platters, to cold cuts, savoury bites and mouth-watering cheese-boards.

BBQs

Simply one of the best ways to enjoy London with some good food. A BBQ on the top deck...maybe with a cold beer...

Why food experience on board your boat charter is so important to us

We’ve all been to restaurants, weddings, business events where the event itself is great, until the food comes out! We know how important food is to an event. It’s not just a box to be ticked on a planning schedule, it’s a highlight and also the part that many guests look forward to most. We work closely with our chef and waiting staff, doing all we can to deliver a great food experience. We love food ourselves, and we want you to love the food served on our boats. We think you will.
