A belated thanks to French Bros of Windsor for hosting one of our most popular group events of the year. Our clients were greeted with smiles from the crew and a reception drink then set down to 3 hour Christmas lunch cruise from Runnymede. With our own festive and background music, a 3 course tradition Christmas lunch was served effortlessly by the cheerful crew. The food was hot, plentiful and tasty. During the cruise nothing could have been more rewarding than the cheerful and professional attitude of a most helpful crew. My company has been using French Brothers for over 40 years and never had cause for complaint.
Well to the staff on the day and French Brothers for helping my company be successful

A joint family and friends birthday celebration, a great night had by all.
A very efficient service right from the booking through to the event itself.
Lovely welcome, decent food, brilliant DJ, top bar staff and very relaxed environment.
Thank you to French Brothers!!
Thank you for your review.
We are pleased that your event was a success and look forward to welcoming you on board again in the future.
Went here for my sisters 21st birthday and despite turning up on time for the last journey, we were turned away as the session had been privately booked, but we were never told this. Therefore all the money we spent getting to Windsor was for nothing. However, this we could deal with. On the other hand the rudeness of the staff member who dealt with us was appalling. My poor sister was told to F*** off on her birthday, and my mother called a b****. All of this, just because my mother pointed out the staff memeber was being sarcastic when she explained the inconvenience of the situation in terms of the travel, and of course my sisters 21st. Our day was ruined and my sister was left close to tears as a result of it. Furthermore, the office memeber who dealt with our complaint took 2 months to give us a proper reply only to say we were not deserving of a reimbursement for our troubles due to ‘video footage’. If there even was footage I can’t understand what possibly could condone this response. Fair enough our reply to being sworn at wasn’t exactly polite, but being a customer we shouldn’t have been in this situation to start with! Overall, we were treated like absolute vermin by the worker with died red hair and a nose ring (yes that’s right, you being outed), and rudely dismissed by the office staff/owner (whoever answered the emails and phone calls). PLEASE do not use this company, they are horrible and do not deserve your money!!!
Thank you for your review.
Readers of this review should understand that the version of events described in the review are completely different from the results of the investigation made by the Management of French Brothers involving several staff witnesses and critically CCTV footage.
It is correct that the last trip of the day did not run but a full refund was made to the customer the following day so it is not the case that we “took 2 months to give us a proper reply” providing reimbursement at the earliest reasonable opportunity.
Booked French brothers for our Christmas party and although we had a good night as it was a great bunch of people we shouldn’t have bothered with the boat and had it somewhere else.
The food was awful, a grilled turkey breast in a slightly stale bun with an unexciting salad; no veggie option meant the vegetarians in the party paid £48pp for some lettuce leaves!
Head height is an issue, two guys over 6,3” couldn’t stand up straight anywhere on the boat.
The boat was run down with old plastic chairs and no loo roll for the first 30mins of the trip!
Simply not worth the money!
Thank you for your review.
We cater for the individual dietary requirements of guests on each event to ensure that their dietary needs are met. The dietary requirements were confirmed to us on the 30th November. This included dairy free and gluten free meals along with a vegan. The meal as prepared was suitable for dairy and gluten free diets, and the vegan was provided with a Portobello mushroom, sweet potato and stout pie. To reiterate I have checked and all of the special dietary elements ordered were on board.
As there was no request for any vegetarian meals, of course none were provided. We feel it is really unfair to criticise the catering on that basis of a lack of an element that was not physically requested.
To put things into perspective the Christmas party at £48 per person that was booked consists of the following:
Exclusive private charter of a vessel for 24 guests
Disco with live DJ
Christmas decorations
Hot BBQ meal
The menu consisted of:
BBQ turkey,
Hot new potatoes,
selection of 3 salads
(waldorf salad, crunchy coleslaw and tomato and grape),
Roll and butter,
Chef's selection of desserts
We are confident that readers of this review will agree that this is outstanding value for money.
had a wonderful saturday dinner time ride down the Thames. Well worth the £9.00. Drinks on board not over priced and the staff were very friendly. Evan though it was raining well worth a visit.
There Is much Better places in Town
I will not suggest It.......
Cheap food cheap service...boring Place
Not returning...avoid
