York Afternoon Tea Cruise
Lunch on the River Ouse
A very different way to have afternoon tea. I did think the food would not be upto much but I was very surprised. It was quality and nice and fresh food. So to combine a river cruise and afternoon tea into one is a great idea.
Myself and my husband recently went on the festive afternoon tea river cruise whilst staying in York for the weekend and we both thoroughly enjoyed it! The whole trip was very well organised & the staff on board were really friendly and organised. I pre-ordered the vegetarian option which was very easy and tasted delicious with a good variety. There was a lovely choice of cakes, scones, sandwiches & a small bottle of red or white wine each along with unlimited tea/coffee. The crackers were a lovely touch too as was the nostalgic Christmas music playing in the background. The tables were well placed so you weren’t sat right on top of other people which made a refreshing change as it felt much more private with direct views out to the river as the tables are set at either side. A truly relaxing afternoon doing something different. Highly recommended to anyone thinking of doing one of the city cruises, we have already day said we will go again when we visit York next year!
