I chose a beautifully presented stuffed free range chicken on a bed of roasted veg and new potatoes, the blend and juices where just devine.
My sister had the Salmon and was just as delighted and my neice had the vegaterian Lasagne. It was great going to a resturant that has so much vegaterian options and on top of that you know that the produce is organic, free range and healthy.
The only disadvantage is the meal was so perfect we didn’t find the room for a desert.
The atmosphire, the decore, the garden just everything was so special, I will definatly reccomend the Riverside and I can’t wait to go there again. Its a place to impress your friends!

Good prices, great food, lovely setting.
Its nice to dine at a business that supports locals, I love that Riverside Cafe tries to source as much produce locally as possible and grows a lot of its own ingredients.
