Trips to Beeses Bar and Tea Gardens
The tea rooms open annually in the spring and close on the last weekend of September. A boat trip accompanied by one of their infamous cream teas provides the perfect summer excursion.
Saturday Beeses River Trips with Number Seven Boats are £14 for Adults, £11 for Seniors, £8.50 for Children 6-16 years or £5 for Children 2-5 years.
The boat departs from the Cascade Steps in the City Centre by Harbourside at 12pm, and again for its second trip of the day at 2pm. It is an hour long journey each way, with 2 hours allocated for eating, drinking and relaxing at Beeses.
If you want to finish your weekend on a high, Number Seven also run weekly Sunday Evening Trips which depart at 4pm and include an hour long stay at Beeses - plenty of time to enjoy an evening drink and unwind. This is £12 for Adults, £10 for Seniors, £8 for Children 6-16 years and £4 for Children 2-5 years.

Bristol Harbour Tours
Private Tours
Their 3 hour party boat will pick you up from the Cascade Steps, cruise the harbour and stop off at up to 2 pubs (spending 40 minutes ashore at each) before returning to the City Centre. They can play any music that you bring, either on CD or via jack lead, through their sound system on board.
Boats are licensed to sell alcohol during the trip, stocking cider, wine, lager, spirits and alcopops which cost £3 each. For special occasions which demand something more bubbly, prosecco can be provided for £16 per bottle. They also have an extensive menu, ranging from their Lunch Basket (freshly baked bread with a variety of fillings, kettle crisps, fresh fruit and homemade cakes) to the Meze Picnic Box (selection of cured meats, hummus, pickled vegetables, couscous salad, Mediterranean tart and more) and hot food dishes like curries, lamb tagine, and chilli. You can see their full menu here.
Whether you live in Bristol or are just visiting for a weekend, a trip on one of Number Seven's boats is a must! The Harbour really is one of the highlights of the city, and there's no better way to see it than from the river itself.
