Tea on the Thames

Enjoy a homemade afternoon tea on The Thames. Served on vintage crockery as we cruise through the stunning upper reaches of the Thames. Tea is prepared using fresh local ingredients and is a real treat. Tea for two, a family gathering or a treat. Watch the Thames slip by as traditional afternoon tea is served to your table, be cheeky and add a glass of bubbles or savour leaf teas, freshly made savouries and exquisite cakes.

The trip

Afternoon tea the perfect match for an afternoon on the river

Enjoy cruising through Wind in the Willows country on the Thames from Reading, with a mouth-watering afternoon tea menu served to you and your guests that has been baked with passion and flair. Traditional-style homemade afternoon tea with finger sandwiches, scones, clotted cream and naughty cakes is served on vintage crockery.

We are offering two menus, one of which is vegan, please select when purchasing your tickets which you require.

Three Love Food will serve you Tea on the Thames and share our passion for the best fresh food. The team work with Oxfordshire and Berkshire artisan producers, making the tea by hand the old-fashioned way with their own mark of flare and great taste.

During the season, we will again be offering two sailings per day with departures at 12:00 & 15:30, cruising the beautiful reaches of the upper Thames for 2 hours.
