When a pub / restaurant is busy during the times of the day which are not normally considered meal times, this has to be recommendation enough for the establishment. We arrived at this idyllically situated in the village of Acton Bridge establishment on the riverside (hence its name!), at about 4pm to find this large and airy spot busy with not just drinkers, but early diners and late lunchers too.
The restaurant is large and open-plan with its own car park. Inside is light and roomy, whilst ambient and appropriate background music can be heard, but it is just that, background music, and adds rather than detracts from the atmosphere.
The waiting staff were all friendly and accommodating, and all the augers were good.
Ordering from the Specials Board, the pork belly cooked with apricot was utter perfection, whilst the Red Velvet cheesecake was divine. The portions generous but not overfacing, professionally presented and correctly served. A desert fork was lacking for the cheesecake, but I can forgive them for that.
Currently the Riverside have a 2 for 1 offer on all main courses, and so it is hardly likely to burn a hole in your wallet either.
Highly recommended for both service and food; and am already looking forward to trying other dishes from the menu on my next visit.
