And here\u2019s why\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Picture this: You step aboard and are greeted with a welcome glass of sparkling wine, setting the tone for an evening you\u2019ll always remember. You are sipping your drink while taking in the iconic sights of London, with the majestic London Eye and the Big Ben right next to you. It&#8217;s a scene straight out of a romantic movie, and it&#8217;s about to get even better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"466\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kidstart.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/citycruises-welcome.png\" alt=\"City Cruises welcome drink\" class=\"wp-image-18276\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kidstart.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/citycruises-welcome.png 700w, https:\/\/www.kidstart.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/citycruises-welcome-250x166.png 250w, https:\/\/www.kidstart.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/citycruises-welcome-120x80.png 120w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>As the boat leaves the Westminster Pier, you are served a sumptuous three-course meal showcasing British flavours. The starter is homemade ham hock &amp; smoked chicken terrine perfectly paired with piccalilli, cornichons and croutons (pictured below). The main is confit of chicken with braised puy lentils, cabolo nero, crispy pancetta in red wine sauce. And to top it all off, a decadent chocolate fondant served with velvety creme anglaise. You can, of course, opt-in for the vegetarian option or specify any dietary requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"466\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kidstart.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/citycruises-meal.png\" alt=\"City Cruises Meal\" class=\"wp-image-18273\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kidstart.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/citycruises-meal.png 700w, https:\/\/www.kidstart.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/citycruises-meal-250x166.png 250w, https:\/\/www.kidstart.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/citycruises-meal-120x80.png 120w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The best part of the cruise is the quintet of talented musicians who perfectly complement the meal and the scenic voyage.
