Bateaux London Summer Venues

We did the Platinum dining experience. The cruise itself was fun and such a wonderful way to see London river front! We had a table right up front with great views. Seeing sites like Tower Bridge and The Eye lit up at night was well worth it. There are a couple of observation decks to step outside and those will give best unobstructed views. The service was excellent and staff worked hard to ensure needs and wants were met. However, the food was a disappointment. In particular the lamb was burnt on the outside, tough and chewy. The sea bass tasted more like trout and the desserts were a bit too sweet and bland tasting. I'd definitely recommend doing it once for the experience, not sure I'd see myself doing it more than once. Go for the views, not the food

Let me first to say that my experience is disappointing. I took on the platinum dinning but everything save for the view just don’t match the price tag. I start off from the best first which is the food which is absolutely average and it get worse. The selection of wine is appalling. With the platinum dinning comes with some unlimited supply of preselected wine. Free does not mean the quality is good as they are really appallingly bad (not being a snub here), I don’t know how they could offer these wines at all. I paid extra to get their best wine which is really average in my view. I don’t mind to pay but they couldn’t even have the wine served chilled. It’s just really appalling with the money they charge. Service is mediocre at best as the poor waiter had to serve eight/ nine tables at once. The live entertainment was for popular taste and nothing classy at all. The whole ambience was loud and we couldn’t even talk without yelling at each other over the small dinning table. The view of course was good but it has nothing to do with them whatsoever. Overall, nothing really special and an utter disappointment. Food 6.5/10, ambience 5/10, service 6/10, value for money 6/10. Not an experience I wish to repeat.

Service was great. Be sure to take cash so you can tip your waiter directly. If tipped by card, it goes into a pool for them all. Food, starter was lukewarm at best but edible. The chicken main needed more sauce. Crumble pudding was fine though. Overall, great experience and a laugh.

Amazing! Food is delicious, service great, atmosphere fantastic! We had our engagement. It's been perfectly organised. I haven't released anything till it's start happening! It's big thank you for team.

Great evening. Great views. Good food! The best waiter we’ve had, called Jason, super lucky if you get him. He played games with us. He rules. Give this man a raise!
