This 2.5-hour experience combines a 40-minute cruise along the River Thames aboard an Edwardian Gentleman's River Launch with a three-course meal at The Folly restaurant in Oxford. You'll glide past Folly Bridge, Christ Church Meadows, the University boathouse, and part of the Regatta course before disembarking for dinner. The experience suits couples and adults looking for a relaxed evening on the water and at the table.
The cruise offers views of Oxford's historic riverside landmarks, particularly atmospheric as daylight softens. Once ashore, you'll choose from The Folly's a la carte menu (starter, main, and dessert) in either the indoor dining room or, weather permitting, on the floating river terrace.
The Folly's a la carte menu includes starter, main course, and dessert, with a comprehensive wine list available to complement your meal. Service animals are welcome, and a surcharge may apply to select premium menu items.
