M.V. ERASMUS,
M.V. GOLDEN SALAMANDER 
AND M.V. EDWARDIAN CATERING

MENU SELECTION

The Golden Salamander and Edwardian can fairly lay claim to being the finest and most stylish cruising riverboats of their capacity on the Thames. Certainly the most flexible in terms of the layouts available.

The Golden Salamander seats up to 70 in a light and airy setting with space for an additional 20 more guests upstairs. Choose from banqueting tables of 8 or 10, or take advantage of our round top table for 10/12 in the new forward Cockpit area. On the top deck a spacious upper area for drinks or dancing and a large outside observation deck aft that can take up to 50 guests outside enjoying fine views of the Thames sights. The large glass windows on all levels provide guests with a clear picture of the ever changing Thames panorama. Dramatic floodlit scenes at night, picturesque and historic places of interest during the day.

She operates 365 days of the year. For winter months there is full central heating, for the summer outside areas on all levels of the boat but with the reassurance of ample cover inside should a shower occur. Pick up points abound. There are 23 separate Piers between the Thames Barrier and Putney. We are happy to provide advice for access by public transport or for car parking facilities. Ask for colour brochure.

Our maximum numbers for Sight-seeing Tours are 199. A must for viewing during 2006, and possibly riding on, the London Eye. A commentary can be provided without charge. For a typical Buffet Disco' cruise we suggest a limit of 150 for comfort, with or without catering. Silver Service meals are best up to 90 covers. All menus are served by uniformed staff. On board you will find a caring and professional attitude from all members of the team. Our aim is that you and your guests will have a memorable experience - for the right reasons!

Whilst there is no requirement to have catering on board, our new fully-equipped galley provides the base from which our caterers have prepared an extensive menu selection on the following pages, from Canapes to Silver Service presentations, for your selection.

Should you wish to provide your own catering this is possible for a surcharge of £2.00 + VAT per head without the use of any of the galley equipment or £3.00 + VAT per head for full use if hot food is required. In both cases we would expect your caterers to leave the galley area as it is found i.e. spotless! We always suggest that you inspect the facilities before you make a decision. Marine catering often requires a specialist. We have over 25 years experience. All Buffet/Barbecue menus are costed on a minimum of 70 covers (Golden Salamander) 50 covers (Edwardian), all Silver Service menus on a minimum of 40 covers. Below that figure a 10% surcharge will be applied.  

We can accept credit card (Access/Visa/American Express) payments in the office and on the boat. A 3% surcharge is applied for this facility. In the event of no catering being required a £100 glass deposit may be requested in advance. Should no excessive loss/breakage take place this will be refunded after the event. Coffee and mints may be added to any Buffet (not Self Select) for £1.00 + VAT per head.
