Pip

We had a fabulous trip on the river in Oxford.......not the Thames, the Isis.......the trip took you away from the hustle and bustle of the city and out into the beautiful countryside....we stopped halfway at The Perch at Binsey ......the weather was perfect, the company on the boat (only eight of us) was good and the staff most helpful....we had a wonderful time

I bought this for my husband and I as his Christmas present to introduce him to another side of Oxford, as I had lived nearby but he doesn't know it well. It was perfect. We arrived early and had a drink by the river first, then embarked with our fellow passengers. About 12 of us, around 2 tables so there was plenty of room. We were sitting at the back of the boat near the captain, which turned out to be the best place to be as we could hear what he was saying very clearly. There was no microphone so the people at the other end of the boat may have struggled. No one complained though so it might have been fine. The food was already plated on the tables and covered in cling film. A very nice mixed plate of cold meats and salmon, cheese, quiche and salad. With strawberries and cream for dessert. We were asked what we wanted to drink, most people had wine, and some had soft drinks, and there were bottles and carafes of water on the table. Our captain, Pete (I think), was fantastic. Very knowledgable about Oxford, history in general and full of interesting anecdotes. He even ended up reciting a Shakespeare sonnet at one point which suited our location in Oxford, and the beautiful scenery we were gliding through, perfectly. We were lucky with the weather but it was drizzling a bit when we embarked. There are covers that can be zipped down though, so we wouldn't have got wet. It would have been a shame if it had continued but wouldn't have ruined it. All in all. I can heartily recommend this as the perfect way to spend a summer evening in Oxford. And very reasonably priced I thought.
