Allen Gardiner River Cruise Restaurant

I really didn't know what to expect from this cruise along the Orwell in March. But the skipper provided just enough history of the river and places we passed without becoming boring. The lunchtime a la carte menu was surprisingly varied and quality of food very good. I would recommend this meal & sail cruise

Excellent trip, wonderful staff and great service. Small group table if 12 so way to mix with others. Would return xxx

Great experience visiting for a lunch trip. Great amusing commentary during the trip. Bell rang for lunch and was not disappointed. Tasty food either two or three courses that you pre ordered before the trip. Plenty of seating and undercover if inclement weather to keep warm. Prompt start and finish, safety instructions and smooth sailing. The boat accommodates up to 12 people at any one trip. Ours was a anniversary occasion and was very chilled and relaxed. Loved every minute of it. Although captains first mate, Mishka stole our hearts with her little bed up front - living her best life 🐶🐾💤 would definitely recommend and would definitely be back again. Thanks for all your hard work 💟

Highly recommend , as a family this was the best celebration teenagers,children and adults all enjoyed this trip.very friendly relaxed atmosphere ,excellent food nothing to much trouble .Thank you to the hard working crew. Would definitely book again .

A very enjoyable trip.Crew very helpful/friendly.Only downside was the lunch which was very disappointing and expensive for what we had.A starter and 1fish skewer with veggies was £30.00 just one example.We were a party of seven celebrating a a special birthday 2/9/2022 which would have been perfect except for lunch.

Lovely breakfast experience 2 hours on the River Orwell

Had a fantastic time and meal. Staff are very attentive and friendly and make you feel very welcome. Views from this cruise are breathtaking.

My wife and I took this cruise with friends on a Saturday evening. Lovely little boat, it only takes a maximum of 12 people, and very friendly crew of three. We could sit outside at the front or the rear but dining was inside on two tables of six. The food was excellent and the wine was very good quality. The cruise set off from Fox's Marina at 7.30pm on the river Orwell at a leisurely pace and got back about 10 pm. The views were great and we were treated to a spectacular sun set. We had a great evening and I would be happy to do it again. If you fancy something different when visiting Ipswich then this is for you.
