On
Wednesday evening the 6th March, we , the emc3 ladies, stepped aboard the London Eye
Barracuda Cruise Yacht. A two level cruise boat with an upper deck bar,
this boat is the perfect venue for any type of cocktail party, dinner or dinner
dance. The boat has a unique set-up on both floors with space down the centre
of the boat and booth tables along the windows to enjoy the view from the
Thames. The upper level is more unique in its design having a bar and tables on
one side and couches and smaller tables on the other creating a lounge area.
With a live three-man band, the music playing throughout the evening was a
great touch to scenic views from everywhere on the ship in addition to
networking with other event professional.
Upon entering the yacht, we were greeted by the very friendly staff with an array of cocktails and canapés provided by “rhubarb” catering services. Canapé after canapé, the creativity of each dish continued to grow. As little red buttons passed by, the beetroot and goat cheese macaroons became a huge hit of the evening. With its creative display on individual spoons, baby scallops on top pea puree, sea bass and cream cheese and seared tuna with a spicy dressing were another hit. Served in individual puff pastry cups, quail eggs with hollandaise and chives were an easy and delicious treat to pop in your mouth. To wrap up the evening, dessert shooters of coffee mouse, passion fruit crème brûlée, lemon mouse and gelatin with a touch of gold leaf. Not to mention the elaborate strawberry bouquets on either side of the dessert table.
Wow, what a great night we had!
A BIG THANK YOU goes out to our friends at the London Eye & Rhubarb Caterers.
