Since taking over the venue, we have been working hard to transform the building into a truly special pub, restaurant and coffee house.

Whatever reason you may have for visiting us – a healthy or hearty breakfast, a coffee with home-baking beside our wood-burning stove or downstairs with the kids in the play area, fantastic food with family in our restaurant, a glass of wine or a local beer with friends in our bar or on the riverside terrace – we assure you of a friendly welcome from staff who care.

Please let us know when you book if you are bringing your dog and we will reserve a suitable table.

The Riverside really is our dream come true and we look forward to welcoming you through its doors.

Stuart & Jo

    Disappointing after previous good meals the Sunday roast was poor with the beef being tough and inedible. The replacement beef another cut was ok

    We enjoyed our x2 course lunch, however, We did think £18 was a little expensive for a burger with cheese, and although we did not take it, the fish & chips was in line with this price too. We also had starters but again felt they were a bit overpriced. Our waiting staff was lovely and friendly Kim munro

    The overall experience was very positive. My wife appreciated the deduction of payment on her wine on account of it being her birthday. Starters and mains were excellent as always, well-prepared, imaginative and with decent portions. Service was friendly and, although slow today, we were in no hurry. Our favourite desserts - cremes brulees - were on the menu. Although mine was rather rubbery and slightly too 'brulee', my wife's was perfect. We'll be back!
