Tamesis Dock Reviews Summary

Location & Views

Pros:

• "Great views across the Thames to the Houses of Parliament, and being on the river, the boat gets a welcome cool breeze in the summer."
• "The views from the boat are awesome looking both ways on the river."
• "Cant beat that location and that river Vauxhall and Westminster skyline view especially on a sunny day."
• "Great views of London."
• "Lots of outdoor seating with great views of the Thames and the houses of parliament."
• "Probably one of the best views on the Thames of Westminster."
• "Beautiful location on the Thames with Westminster in the background."

Cons:

• "On a windy day it can get really rocky."
• "Great views for the summer from upstairs but not much good for when its cool or windy since there are no real views downstairs."
• "The only downside is that it’s become much harder to book a table here than used to be the case, and we’ve often found that booked tables are already occupied - hopefully they can fix that!"
• "The other issue on upper deck, yes it might have a beautiful view and relaxing atmosphere but it’s smoking area everywhere and if you are not smoker, to have a person sitting next to you having cigarette after cigarette 🚬 well is not worthy."
• "An upstairs and outdoor bar that has many broken heaters and wet / slippery floors with insufficient guard rails right next to the Thames."
• "Biggest problem is that there’s only one tiny bar and practically no outdoor room on a nice day so some form of crowd control would have been nice."
• "The boat is very uninviting from the front door down to the bar staff."

Service & Staff

Pros:

• "Close to Vauxhall station, they have killer wraps (in a good way), staff are friendly and they have a good selection of beers."
• "The staff is also great: always polite and willing to please."
• "Service is friendly and price is right."
• "Staff are friendly and fast."
• "The staff were really friendly and tables were spaced far apart so I felt reassured at being able to social distance from others."
• "The staff here are super accommodating and serve all drinks with a smile."
• "The staff were very friendly and were happy to move chairs to fit our party of three."

Cons:

• "The heaters on the top floor was out of order."
• "A bit of a let down this time."
• "Staff was simply not friendly."
• "The staff was rude and dismissive throughout the whole visit and we had to wait half an hour for a plate of hummus and bread."
• "The waitress with blond long hair was not nice, we asked what cocktails in jars they have, and she didn't know, horrible service from her side."
• "Management looks to be non existent and no one seems to care about the customers."
• "I booked my wedding after party here and it was the worst decision ever. Unfortunately management only cares about money and not about service."
