Available Catering Services
When you hire a boat from CPBS we offer fresh delicious food from our main caterer FE Catering. Their wide range of menus offers a great variety to suit every taste and budget. Alternatively, if you have a particular preference or special dietary requirements, then they can ‘mix-and-match’ menu items, or create a menu tailor-made just for you.
* Important allergy advice: Please note that our boats have limited space so while every care will be taken we cannot guarantee that there will be no cross-contamination. We recommend bringing on your food if you are concerned or have guests with severe allergies. Click here for more detailed allergen advice.
