This was bought for my birthday earlier this year and I absolutely loved it, so it was no hard choice to buy it for a Christmas present this year for someone else to enjoy the experience.

This is a gift and so we have not taken the experience yet, but after fruitlessly searching sites for a gift experience that was a little different I stumbled upon this fantastic business! Purchasing was easy, I opted to have the gift voucher emailed and that arrived super quickly! I have now found a super site to check for gift ideas in the future

The first thing to say about Indytute is that they are scond to none when it comes to Customer Service. No sooner had we placed our Order, we received an email from Calypso personally thanking us for our custom. The email was written in a very personal and sincere style and was very much appreciated. We paid to have the voucher posted and it arrived within 2 days, and the presentation was very professional. Our Son was highly deighted with this gift and is looking forward to using the Voucher. We are so glad we found Indytute and are confident the experience will be as good as the Customer Service.

I purchased the cheese afternoon tea for two as a birthday present, so I’m unable to comment on the actual event but booking was really easy and quick.
Geraldine T.
So, we are yet to experience this experience! This is the second time we’ve purchased this as a gift as the first one was so well received!
So much so, gave us a great idea for one of our other wine and cheese loving friends.
He is also delighted and eager to go!
At some point we will be buying this for ourselves also.
Fab idea, unusual and such a relief to know where to go for great gift ideas - thanks all at The Indytute!
Sarah E.
I ordered this originally as a gift for her daughter and partner and they loved it so much that I'm buying another gift for my son and his girlfriend!
Julie H.
Very professional looking downloaded voucher.
Victoria J.
Great company and great customer service!! I bought this for a friends special birthday and didn’t realise I had bought the download version. I emailed Indytute and the next day I received a lovely presentation gift pack to give to my friend. Top class

Bought this for my Dad for his Birthday, he absolutely loved it. Also said it was a great part of London he wasn’t familiar with before.
Karen M.
Everything was perfect from the start and delivered on all levels, including the help to book the trip via Indytute (big shout out to Helen who quickly resolved my booking problem) down to the day itself. A delightful experience and something a bit different to the norm. Great location and delicious cheese and wine. Barge staff were really friendly and helpful. No negatives and shall definitely be returning.
Dominique C.
Very original experience and makes a nice change from usual afternoon tea
Aliso N.
Haven't been on my experience yet. The voucher arrived very quickly and as it was a gift so I opted for a postal voucher, it looks beautiful. Easy to book, just waiting for my booking confirmation from the venue.
Katie I.
Wow what a find the Cheese Barge is. From start to finish the whole experience was amazing. The cheeses were to die for. The curried cheese curd was mind blowing. Will definitely be coming back for more. The staff were so attentive.
Candy I.
Bought as a present for my husband, we haven’t used it yet but he has always wanted to go. Easy to buy online & print the voucher which was smart looking

Anne H.
This was purchased as a gift. Ordering was very easy, communication with the company very good. Only thing I would say is that it would have been nice to have an envelope included to put the voucher etc into. Minor inconvenience.
Sally W.
Purchased for our friends for Christmas. They love cheese so it should be perfect for them.
Easy to use website. Thank you!
Lynne O.
We went to the cheese barge in August after I bought the experience for my husband’s birthday in March. To say it was brilliant is an under statement as it was way beyond brilliant. From the location to the cheese, wine plus the service and then the walk along the canal afterwards…well it was all so brilliant that it has now become a Christmas gift for another family member. A real twist on the ‘afternoon tea’ and just so enjoyable…and, oh, did I say the cheeses were pretty delicious too!
Linda C.
Thought this would be an ideal Christmas gift for our Son and Daughter in law. It was easy to order arrive within 3 days. Good presentation hope they enjoyit
Rae D.
Bought the Afternoon Cheese on the Cheese Barge experience for my Dad's 60th birthday. Really pleased with how quickly it arrived and how well it was presented. He seems thrilled with it, and can't wait to go. Thank you The Indytute, I will definitely be using you again!
Irene M.
I bought this for a birthday gift for my daughter and husband. They love cheese and wine and were delighted with the thought of having it on a barge. They are very much looking forward to the brilliantly inspired experience.
Debs P.
I think you are just so cute! Very happy with the voucher that arrived in the post. Great marketing. I really hope that when we go on our cheese experience it lives up to our expectations.
Thanks very much xx
Sophie B.
The voucher Arrived quickly and will be a perfect Christmas present
Emma D.
Great venue, great service, great experience. Great cheese and other options to eat. Has to be done!
Andrea G.
The voucher arrived quickly in recyclable packaging with a really cool design, so it won't need to be wrapped. My friend loves special experiences like these so I know how happy she's going to be. Thank you!
Sue
I bought this experience as a Christmas present for my partner. We had a wonderful time, the staff were knowledgeable and very friendly. The barge was great, tables not too close together.
A good choice of cheeses and the house was really very good. Well worth another visit in the summer when the roof terrace is open.
Thank you Cheese Barge for a wonderful experience, would wholeheartedly recommend you.
L E.
Loved it! Helpfully accessed just outside one of Paddington station exits, little barge beneath the new architectural developments of this regenerated site. Had four hour walk before around Paddington, Little Venice, and Maida Vale (including the amazing Clifton Gardens), so feeling pretty hungry when arrived for our Christmas gift of Cheese Afternoon tea for two. Perfect amount of choice of six cheeses with accompaniements which were amazing - truffle oil, rosemary and suger honeycomb as examples - with a welcome carafe of wine. Lovely service and a novel treat - highly recommend for something different.
Geoff C.
Lovely experience! My wife was given this experience as a birthday present. It was lovely: 6 cheeses with pairings, crackers and good wine. The portions of cheese were just the right size; the staff were knowledgable. This is a great place to try some unusual British cheeses; it would be a good place to take visitors to London. It’s not large - reservations are essential. I’d like to return when the weather is better and we can sit on the roof of the barge.
Russ C.
Great idea and made for a different fun experience on a Sunday afternoon. Fine selection of British cheeses, each paired with a different complimentary chutney etc (with some bold choices), served with crackers and sourdough bread. Enough different cheeses to give vegetarians a choice as well. Carafe of the Italian house white to wash it down.
Knowledgeable staff and attentive service, all on a barge in the Paddington Basin watching boats and people head past. What's not to like?
David K.
Quirky Cheese Board! Great fun to try a curated selection of British cheeses, with a carafe of wine to wash them down. Quirky setting (on a barge in Paddington Basin) only added to the experience. Great tastes and helpful staff.
Stephen A.
Great experience, used a Xmas gift vouche, cheese selection was good, carafe of wine was good, would have been nice to sit outside but good service and great cheesese.
Claire P.
Fantastic experience, great food and well worth a visit!
Had a voucher for 6 cheeses and a carafe of wine we had been gifted- what a find! The boat was lovely and we were offered seating on the roof but advised to sit inside due to the heat. Inside was lovely and cool with the air con. Our waitress was lovely and when we asked for a recommendation to go with the cheeses she recommended the curried cheese curds- they were delicious! The whole experience from booking (thanks Laurence for all your help) through to the food was fantastic- we will certainly be recommending! Thank you!
Cathy P.
We had a wonderful time at The Cheese Barge and we highly recommend it and indyute.
Jan B.
I got this as a birthday gift and it hasn’t been used yet, but the voucher arrived promptly and the recipient was thrilled with it.
Rosemary G.
Lovely choice of cheeses and great service. We had a great time and thoroughly recommend this unique experience
Liz
Just to let you know we are now officially booked in for our afternoon cheese on the cheese barge!
Thank you and Calypso for being so patient and helpful. Amazing customer care - I will definitely use your company again and recommend to friends and family.
Thanks again and have a great weekend
Saffron W.
Bought this as a wedding present for a cheese and wine-loving couple! The perfect gift
Michelle L.
Bought this as a present for one of my team. She hasn't had the experience yet, but I am very impressed with the presentation of the voucher - it came in a lovely, embossed envelope and looked very classy.
Claire M.
Bought this as a wedding present and it has come so beautifully packaged! Love it and I know the Bride and Groom will too - thank you!
Vivienne J.
Have bought this experience as a gift for family and friends. The voucher looked inviting and professional, and the experience was a complete success. My son, his wife and her parents visited the Cheese Barge on 8th April and loved it. Have now bought the experience for a friend. Thoroughly recommend
MR J.
My wife and I loved The Cheese Barge experience!
Chris D.
Excellent delivery, packaging and experience!
Joanne L.
Bought this voucher for a mothers day gift. When I ordered I accidentally ordered the download instead of the voucher so I emailed to see if this could be changed and I have to say the customer service was excellent. The voucher was put in the post immediately at no extra cost and has arrived in plenty of time. I have even had a follow up email to ensure I'd received it ok. So would just like to thank Indytute and say I would definitely look to buy from you again in the future aswell as reccomend you to friends and family.
Lisa G.
Gift for a friend's 40th birthday - she's a cheese fiend so I'm expecting a look of pure delight when she opens it! Really nicely designed slip cover too which adds to the quality of this gift!
Vivienne S.
Would have liked another envelope to put voucher in so could send it on.
Sally L.
Fantastic service. Easy to order, informative updates via email and prompt delivery. Looking forward to seeing my husbands face when he opens it. Thank you.
Davina K.
Excellent customer service
Sarah F.
I bought the cheese and wine voucher as a gift and the recipients said they’re looking forward to going -something a bit different! It looks like a fun setting on the barge by Regents canal. Can’t comment on the ‘experience’ yet but the website was user friendly and I’m happy with my purchase so far.
Dawn D.
Great 40th pressie, very well received.
Marianna B.
Given today for a birthday gift. Husband was delighted and even more so, because the venue is dog-friendly and we hate leaving our pup behind! We've yet to go, but will make a day of it when we do.
Paula F.
Bought as a birthday gift, so cannot really comment on the actual item. However, the website is good, easy to choose a gift, and it arrived very promptly. I would use again.
Jackie K.
I bought the cheese experience for my Brother & Sister in law for Xmas. They haven't booked yet but the buying experience was very smooth.
Melanie C.
I went on the Cheese Barge last week with my daughter who had a voucher bought for her birthday, by friends. It was such a pleasant experience and it made my think of my sister in law who loves cheese and who turns 50 in March. So i bought her the same experience!
Malcolm T.
We bought a cheese experience on a barge in London for a friend. Easy to book, good value for money and when I inadvertently forgot to request a hard copy invitation they sorted it out in no time. Fantastic company!!!
Joanne H.
On her quickly arrived in a very smart looking envelope which looks great for giving as a gift
Emma C.
Quick and easy, really good experience and fresh gift idea!
Alan H.
The Cheese Barge is a great experience in a great location. We did have trouble when we came to book our date - the code provided with the voucher wasn't recognised, we were given a default one to use instead and that one crashed the web page but Indytute were very good in booking it all manually for us. Overall a recommended experience.
Joan R.
Gift packaging looked smart. Customer service was very helpful. Would definitely recommend.
Susan h.
Very helpful customer services. Highly recommend
Gina E.
Very easy to purchase Thanks
ANNE
Bought this for my son as a Christmas present. Hoping he’ll enjoy the experience
Michelle W.
A fun experience
Beverley G.
Bought as a gift, will review properly when used. great idea
Caroline J.
Booked this experience of Afternoon Cheese on a Barge for my cheese loving hubby as a different kind of present and he was over the moon when he opened it! We are going to go with our 2 friends when the weather is a bit warmer.
Ed N.
Excellent site. Easy to use and did the job 100%.
Clair H.
It's easy to buy anyone an experience with an e-voucher, but the best thing about indytute is the stylish presentation certificate and envelope, making it feel more like a proper gift! Thank you!!
Sharon C.
Gift voucher arrived promptly looking fabulous. The giftees are going to love it and I think it's such a brilliant idea!
Anne P.
Bought as a gift for cheese loving daughter and partner. It’s a lovely idea and sounds a lot of fun; I’m sure they will love it.
Denise G.
Christmas present for my daughter and son in law so not used yet
Samantha R.
Excellent customer service from Helen, speedy, helpful and pleasant
sarah B.
Super speedy delivery. It’s a Christmas present for my boyfriend he will love it! I can’t wait to go in the new year! :)
Harriet W.
Really very good customer service and I like the tone / ethos of this company. Do you need any freelance PR help? I'm experienced and available! The Cheese Cruise gift is for the husband. Not sure he deserves it but it's a great idea for an "experience" - I often look at experience gifts but they're usually quite uninspiring and dull. The selection you offer is head and shoulders above, though. Will be ordering again I'm sure.
