Please be advised that tables cannot be booked. We operate a walk in system and allocate tables to parties as they arrive. On busy days a 'wait list' may be in play and we will seat you as soon as we can. For larger groups please be advised that our largest pre-set table is for 6 people, for parties larger than 6, it is likely the group will need to be sat on 2 tables.
Please check in with the host on arrival. Hidden back from the main road over the river you can find us on Longholme Island between the upper & lower Great River Ouse. Join us for breakfast, lunch or hire one of our boats. Our humble venue is open to all and has been refurbished to benefit all who use the river & local area.

Report
Due to a combination of factors in 2020/2021, that have mostly been out of our control, it has resulted in severe disruptions with this service. As a popular, fun and historical activity we are keen to rejuvenate the service in 2022 when it is safe and operationally viable to do so. We are saddened that the service has been suspended for such a period.
