Celebrate the Season with a Festive Cream Tea Cruise on the Upper Thames

A Winter’s Cream Tea Cruise on the Caversham reaches of the Upper Thames offers a magical and serene experience, combining the tranquil beauty of the river with the cozy indulgence of a traditional English cream tea. As the crisp winter air enhances the picturesque landscape, this unique cruise promises a delightful escape from the ordinary.

Imagine boarding a charming, heated riverboat, warmly lit to fend off the winter chill. The boat sets off along the peaceful Caversham reaches, where the bare branches of ancient trees frame the riverbanks and the calm waters reflect the muted hues of the season. The occasional ripple from a passing duck or swan adds to the tranquil ambiance.

The trip

Winter Wonderland On The River

Departing from Caversham Pier with your own reserved table and steward on-board, the atmosphere is snug and inviting. Tables are elegantly set with festive decorations, creating a perfect setting for a winter's cream tea. As the boat gently glides along the river, guests are served freshly baked scones, with Cornish Clotted Cream & Festive Jam and Homemade Marmalade.

As you savour these delicious treats, you can gaze out at the wintry landscape. The Caversham reaches are particularly beautiful in winter, with frost-tipped foliage and a soft, quiet ambiance that makes the river feel like a serene retreat from the world. The boat’s slow pace allows ample time to enjoy the sights and perhaps spot some wildlife braving the winter chill.

*Our scones are baked fresh in an artisan bakery where nuts may be present thus we can not be 100% sure that no contact with nuts has taken place.
