3 hours in total: 40 Minute Cruise + Dinner (we suggest allowing at least 2.5 hours for your meal)
Your experience begins boarding one of our elegant Edwardian Gentleman's River Launches for a 40-minute cruise taking in the highlights of river life in Oxford. We see Folly Bridge, Christchurch Meadows, the University boathouse, and part of the Regatta course whilst a complementary glass of Champagne is served.
We disembark at The Folly restaurant where our exquisite 6-course tasting menu will be served in charming surroundings either inside the restaurant or, if the weather allows, on the floating river terrace. There is also the option of the wine pairing menu, whereupon each course is accompanied with a carefully chosen wine to compliment the dish.
Our Cruise and Tasting menu combines two of Oxford's great attractions to create an exceptional and memorable experience.
There is the option of a vegetarian tasting menu
