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

    Had a lovely experience in the restaurant on Friday evening. We were a party of 4 with 2 of us having the Xmas menu. Greeted by pleasant staff, service was excellent and food was exceptional. The restaurant was busy but nothing was a problem and attention to detail was spot on. Would thoroughly recommend. Thank you!

    We used to love this restaurant but prices have increased and quality has decreased. Quite a cold damp day and fire wasn’t on. Feels like it’s lost a bit of sparkle.

    Excellent place to meet friends. Good atmosphere and good food. I had a delicious salmon dish which apparently was new to the menu - I can recommend it. Polite and good young waitress. All in all an excellent lunch

    Had a late lunch at The Riverside, not the cheapest place but the food was delicious as were the cocktails…you only get what you pay for and I would highly recommend. I had a table booked with friends and we weren’t rushed away, in fact quite the opposite, maybe different on a busy weekend day. The reason I have only put 4 for the noise level, this was due to a very yappy dog, however not the restaurants fault and it didn’t go on too long!
