Venue of the Month - June 2024
This June, we're featuring the stunning Cherwell Boathouse in Oxford as our Venue of the Month. Situated about a mile from the city centre, this delightful venue holds a rich punting history.
Described as a "truly timeless, slightly eccentric, quintessentially Oxford pleasure," punting has been a beloved sport since the 1800's.
Constructed in 1909 as a punt hire business, the Cherwell Boathouse now operates as a charming restaurant and tea house. Located on the River Cherwell, it not only provides guests with the opportunity to try punting, but also boasts a variety of private areas for hire. This includes a large riverside marquee that can comfortably accommodate up to 120 guests.
Jenny from TCE shares her experience: "We recently hosted a group from overseas at the Cherwell Boathouse in Oxford. We arranged for them to try punting and have lunch at the venue. They thoroughly enjoyed their river excursion and were immensely impressed by the excellent service and food at the restaurant."
Capacities:
Marquee - up to 120 pax
Boathouse restaurant - up to 75 pax
Conservatory - up to 50 pax
Gazebo - 15-20 pax
