Robin Collindales review is total rubbish and slanderous. He cannot be traced.. must be the opposition...as they say.. if you cannot beat them .. slander them. Riversides full menu is always freshly cooked to order and now served in a clean refreshed restaurant and bar. The company has spent £30,000 on the well needed refurbishment and work commences soon on the outside decking area ready for the summer. The menu is designed for everyone... not the few, the food is edible, the staff are polite and there is always a warm welcome... what more do you want.

Great atmosphere, good food, well priced. Change in ownership and decor is a delight.. Good venue for a relaxed meal watching the river at work. Staff are always pleasant and helpful. Always a pleasure to see the Restaurant full with returning patrons, which was never the case under the previous ownership.

Our first visit since Riverside took on its new owners, new look & new menu. Very impressed menu offers a good range of food. Not over priced. Lava stone steaks are lovely & you can't complain about how they are cooked! The burgers & pizzas don't appeal to me particularly but they seem popular. Staff are lovely especially Sainey for whom nothing is too much trouble. We will be back soon.
