Punting with Picnic Information
Our 45-minute afternoon tea picnic tours are bookable up to 24 hours in advance, for groups of 2 or more.
Please check in with our team at our Jesus Green Moorings just 2 minutes along the boardwalk from the Quayside. For last-minute bookings please contact us on 01223 322200 and we’ll do our best to organise a boat for you.
Both our boats and our employees will be dressed for the weather on the day. If it’s sunny, your guide may be wearing a waistcoat. Alternatively, at colder times of the year, your guide will wear a professional coat and your boat will be equipped with toasty warm blankets and umbrellas.
What to do if you’re running late? Your private booking will be held for you for 5 minutes, after this point it wouldn’t be possible to go on the tour as this would mean missing our later bookings, affecting other customers. Please call us the moment you know of any delays to your schedule and we’ll try to organise things to accommodate you.
If you’re looking for a lighter bite, then take a step away from the every day with our luxurious cream tea punting experience.
Head to see our team at the Bookings Desk at our Jesus Green Moorings to start your experience.
