✨ Eighty years young and still the life of the party! ✨

What a privilege it was to host Jenni's 80th birthday celebration aboard one of our passenger boats last weekend. Surrounded by family and friends, she danced the night away under the stars on the Thames. 🌙🚤🥂

Here's what Jenni had to say afterwards:

"Everything went like clockwork... I had a magical time, as did all my guests. My exceedingly grateful thanks to you and all the staff and crew at Hobbs for making my 80th birthday evening so incredibly special."

Thank you, Jenni, for choosing Hobbs of Henley to celebrate such a milestone occasion. 💙

Thinking of marking a special birthday, anniversary or family celebration? We'd love to help create memories that last a lifetime.

What a Sunday ☀️🚤🍓

A huge thank you to the incredible team from Orwells who joined us on board last Sunday for our first Orwells on the River cruise, and wow, what a success it was! The sun was shining, the atmosphere was buzzing, and despite the heat, the boys and their team absolutely smashed it from start to finish 👏

A massive shout out as well to our amazing Hobbs team who worked tirelessly all day in the heat to make everything run so smoothly. From the galley to the deck crew and front of house, we’re so proud of the effort, energy and teamwork that went into making the day so special ❤️

From the beautiful dishes to the incredible service and atmosphere on board, it really was one to remember. Thank you as well to everyone who came along and supported the event, we loved having you with us!

This is definitely just the beginning… 👀
We’ll be doing more in the future, so keep your eyes peeled!
