read moreAt the River and Rowing Museum café, experiences diverge sharply, revealing a blend of highs and lows. While some visitors delight in the outdoor terrace and high-quality breakfast offerings, others lament poor service, long wait times, and inadequate hygiene practices.

In summary, the café has potential, yet significant improvements in service and menu diversity are essential for revitalizing the dining experience.
