   Very attractive setting next to the river with a pleasant ambience. We were made very welcome and the restaurant itself is very typically country pub. Service was very good. Starters were nice but not outstanding. Roast Sunday lunch as main was ok but I dont recommend eating at 4.00 as we did. The beef was good however the veg especially the courgettes were sadly tired and the Yorkshire pudding was completely dried out and dark brown. It ‘burst’ when you cut into it - I assume it had been about since the first sitting hours earlier. Meal was saved by divine pudding and little chocolate treat for my husbands birthday which we happened to be celebrating. We will try the restaurant again but I’ve had better Sunday lunches elsewhere.

   Some of the best food we have ever had. The care that went into its selection and preparation was obvious and it was all perfectly cooked and presented. A very memorable birthday celebration - we will return.

   The food and service and the pub are very good, I did think the one starter was not so good value for money, all else was very good.

   Parking was difficult and Tesla chargers occupied by non Tesla staff cars - not willing to move them so that we could charge our Tesla. Too many dogs - made ours restless. Best thing was the home made fudge!

   The food and service were outstanding with the food being creatively made all with local ingredients, which made the experience quite unique. We sat outside in the gardens which was pleasant, however, the borders and garden which we looked around were a little unkempt and unloved! The later point did not detract from the evening.

    Could not fault a thing from start to finish it was perfection at its best. Food was so fresh and cooked perfectly. The after taste left you wanting more. We shall be returning and even staying there as the rooms look delightful. Could not have had better staff anywhere they were all attentive and not in your face which I don’t like. Thanks for a lovely afternoon lunch.

    Food was good and well presented. Unfortunately my wife's pigeon could have been rested a bit longer. Was very tasty though and so only a minor niggle. Only "issue" we had was the service, although friendly and polite, felt a bit rushed.

    Hadn't been to the Riverside for a few years (haven't been much of anywhere, actually!) and we were glad for the opportunity of a return visit. The food was, if anything, better than ever, with subtle and interesting flavours and a varied menu. It compared favourably with a visit to a Michelin starred restaurant a few weeks ago - and provided much better value.

    We ate at The Riverside on the last evening of a stay in the area. It was a wonderful way to end our time there. The food was excellent, the staff efficient and friendly, the atmosphere relaxing. If we are ever in the area again we would definetely book a table at The Riverside

    Amazing place. Not sure what I was expecting but it exceeded that. As 2 vegetarians we often feel a but hard done by, but the veggie option here was amazing. So good and didn't feel like we were missing out at all. Highly recommend and wish I was local so I could enjoy it again.

    We booked for Sunday lunch and the earliest they could was 3.30, a clear indication of how popular the Riverside is. Although we were a little early we were offered a drink at the bar or to go straight to the table and we chose the latter. The menus arrived immediateLy and our drinks order taken. The menu, although a Ittle restricted, offered beef, chicken, fish and a vegeratian option so all bases were covered. My wife chose the beef andI went for the chicken. Both dished were outstanding, cooked to perfection and with an excellent variety of vegetables again perfectly prepared. The cauliflower purée outstanding. We both temarked that the food was so good that it was a shame that we had cleared our plates. We both went for pudding, my wife had a honeycomb ice cream based delight and I had poached pear with blue cheese ice cream. All I can say is that ever you are offered blue cheese ice cream then go for it big time, it’s brilliant. The puddings matched the mains in quality and tastiness. The service more than matched the food - attentive but not overbearing which made the meal all the mote enjoyable. In summary, an outstanding meal that left us both feeling that as long as the Riverside keeps this up then the world will be a better place. Highly and thoughtful recommend. Book now, you won’t ne disappointed

    Excellent food. We had the Beef Sunday lunch and it was very good. The beef was tender and perfectly cooked and many of the the vegetables were fresh from the Pub's garden. The pureed carrots and cauliflower were particularly good and the service was excellent. Food arrived hot and we were in no way rushed to finish. This is our second visit to the pub and the area and we would unhesitatingly recommend it.

    Service and food excellent at this attractive pub. Food out of this world, although desserts a little too sweet for our tastes (I guess that’s the nature of deserts though). Went on the Monday during the heatwave for husband’s birthday, and although initially disappointed that they weren’t serving food outside as a result, on reflection it shows they care about their staff’s wellbeing so another plus point. We’ve been before when in this part of the country and very much look forward to our next visit. Amazing food, prompt service and lovely, lovely staff.

    From the road, this establishment does not catch the eye, but do not be fooled, it is a charming place, both inside and out. The inside is olde worldly, with bags of character, with various eating areas on different levels. The staff are very attentive, with the food being of good quality. The clientele appear to be mainly middle class, which is an indication of the quality of the hotel. This was our first visit to the restaurant, having received a recommendation from a local, and were more than happy with both food and venue. Would we go back, most definitely.
