Location & Views
Pros:
"The location of the boat was awesome with great views."
"Fantastic sitting on the top deck in the sunshine."
"You can see the London eye and Westminster from the deck."
"The venue has beautiful views of Westminster and the Thames."
"Lovely place to sit in the sunshine and enjoy a drink or two watching the world go by."
"Great spot right next to embankment station. Awesome view of the London eye big Ben etc etc."
"Prime location to view the London Eye and the world going by along the River Thames."
Cons:
"It does lean from side to side occasionally when boats go past which can make you feel weird."
"If you get at all seasick i would not recommend as, with this bar being on the Thames it does move a little bit."
"It is floating on the Thames though, and the wake from passing boats does mean it rocks occasionally, so keep your eyes on the horizon!"
"Unfortunately, the long walk there from the Strand is dire. Once you pass all the other boats, it's right at the bottom in a dark, dank corner."
"The only strange thing I found is that bags were checked (for drugs?) before you went on the boat."
"They allow people to smoke inside of the boat! And there was some drunk people throwing cigarettes and garbage into the river??!! Absolutely unacceptable."
"Not suitable if you suffer with any kind of vertigo as boat moves ever so slightly, no disabled access that I could see, but I may be wrong."
Food & Drink
Pros:
"I visited with my family and tried the lamb shank it was delicious!"
"We just had a snack which was delicious, but the food coming out of the kitchen looked scrumptious, especially the fish and chips!"
"Worth reserving this place. The food is really nice, nice size portions and reasonable for a place in London."
"Perfectly cooked chips/fries."
"They had great vegan food and lots of options for drinks."
"We ordered the sea bass salad and the meat platter and wow, quality and quantity."
"The food was also surprisingly good, it was delicious and everyone was very happy with their choices."
Cons:
"Having originally scored this 5 their prices have gone from £90 to £200 in a matter of years and the quality / services has not gone up accordingly."
"The food very disappointing and over-priced for what you get."
"The food was very over priced, £25 for fish and 10 chips, not worth it in my opinion."
"Also those two drinks came to £13! Absolutely disgusting over priced."
"Prawns & Calamari duo dish came out with 4 prawns, waited another 20 min and 40 min in total and received 3 prawns, no calamari."
"Whilst the venue itself is quite cool... I wouldn't recommend the food."
"We all ate fish and chips served in a box, not great, fish was too cooked and crispy."

"The restaurant with the worst staff in England. employees are extremely uninterested, I called someone for half an hour to order."
"The service is slow but is compensated by the view."
"Service was on the slow side because of the number of visitors."
"The bar service was literally embarrassing. 15 minutes to get 3 drinks, 15!"
