TIME OUT
We marvelled at the food - good by any standards but superb by boat standards. Starters can include gazpacho, broccoli and cream soufflé and smoked salmon parcels tied with chives. Fish features heavily in the main courses: fillet of sea trout with basil sauce, monkfish tails with leek, coriander and saffron sauce. If you want meat there's roast lamb or fillet of beef with confit of garlic and shallots with red wine sauce: vegetarian food can be arranged. The food was charmingly and efficiently served on our visit. EVENING STANDARD
Food is modem British (viz.: fillet of Scotch beef with rösti; prawns with chilli garlic and lemongrass; lemon tart), and chef Lorna Cartwright bakes her own bread and makes her own ice-cream. The barge takes private
bookings of between ten and 50. Prices start at £30 per head, which
includes the hire charge for the boat. LONDON DOCKLANDS GUIDE
Recognising that modern business style means that many meals are now eaten "in house", a special 'Docklands Hospitality Award' was presented at this year's Awards dinner and dance to honour a private caterer. The recipient was Lorna Cartwright, who bases her business on the Leven is Strijd sailing barge, moored in West India Quay, from where she dispenses superb comfort food - and haute cuisine too - to Docklands' high-flyers. The LDDC (London Docklands Development Corporation) uses this floating haven of good eating regularly and is one of many satisfied blue-chip customers testifying to the noteworthy standards of food and service maintained by Lorna and her team. Says the Corporation's
VIP Visits Co-ordinator Stuart Neil: 'The Leven gives a perfect
flavour of what Docklands is all about - and does it in a truly
businesslike environment.' If you have any questions or would like to book a function then please contact us.
