The Main Event

Treat someone special to an unforgettable evening with an Oxford River Cruise and Tasting Menu Experience for Two, a gift that blends relaxation, fine dining, and the serene beauty of Oxford’s riverside. Perfect for a celebration, a romantic date, or simply as a luxurious treat, this experience offers a perfect mix of elegance and indulgence.

Your evening begins as you step aboard one of Oxford’s charming Edwardian River boats. With a glass of complimentary Champagne in hand, you’ll be whisked away on a leisurely 40-minute cruise along the city’s picturesque waterways. As you glide through the water, you’ll soak up stunning views of Oxford’s historic skyline and riverbanks. Marvel at the quaint beauty of Folly Island, the lush greenery of Christ Church meadow, and the iconic university boathouses. You’ll even sail along the famous regatta course, where the city’s rowing heritage comes to life.

But the journey doesn’t end there. After your river cruise, you’ll disembark at The Folly, one of Oxford’s finest riverside restaurants, for an extraordinary culinary experience. The Folly’s 6-course tasting menu is a celebration of seasonal flavours, showcasing the best local ingredients in dishes that are as visually stunning as they are delicious. Indulge in exquisite creations where each dish is expertly crafted to delight your palate, making this dining experience truly unforgettable.

Situated right on the water’s edge, The Folly provides the perfect backdrop for a night of fine dining, offering unparalleled views of the river as you savour each course. Whether you’re marking a special occasion or simply looking to spoil someone, this Oxford River Cruise and Tasting Menu Experience promises an evening of relaxation, indulgence, and lasting memories.
