This is everything you would expect from a good, community centred independant cafe. The coffee is great and the selection of food is brilliant (including a lovely selection of home baked cakes).
There is always a warm and friendly welcome and a very full and varied selection of craft and community meetings and events.
Rivers Meet is well worth a detour
Local cafe come craft shop. Not exactly hip and trendy but not a greasy spoon either. Down to earth, welcoming, laid back and serves good reasonably priced food. Tea served in proper china cups. Paninis from £2.80. Homemade soups and a nice array of homemade cakes. A great little find, ideal for a quick well-priced snack. It's almost cheaper to come here than to cook your own. I've been here a number of times and never been disappointed. Newspapers and magazines, leather sofas, open fire. You can even pick up some needlework items should you wish. For what it is, with no pretences, 5 stars. Even the music was pretty good today; Marvin Gaye, Byrds, Scott Walker.
Rivers meet has varied menu including gluten free options, using local produce. My kids love it because they have free wifi and they can enjoy their tablet time along with their favourite rocky road cake and when accustomed to environment they would start chatting to other cafe visitors- my kids (9 and 11) always ask to go there. Friendly staff and other customers,really busy during lunch time. I love the vintage mix and match plates,tea pots and cups, the decor, the little craft shop and the event posters of craft clubs/meet ups.
What an absolute delight of a place. We sat outside around the back & had pulled pork sandwiches. Utterly delicious on a proper scuffler.
Adorable mix & match vintage style crockery which I thought was adorable!
Really lovely staff as well. I can't wait to go back and sample the rest of the menu. It's so close to where I live I can't believe I have never been before! See you soon!
Lovely afternoon tea for four people. We were served what I think may have been the largest scones ever, which were amazing. Good service, reasonably priced.
The best kind of local cafe offering home cooked food and nice drinks. Well worth stopping if you are driving through.
Lovely, friendly, bustling cafe - great welcome at the end of a long, wet trek along the river. Delicious scones and a pot of tea in real china, wonderful!
Lovely cafe, love the style. Vegan cake was lovely. Friendly staff. Great place to take a break while out walking.
Cafe popular with walkers . Also has a crafts workshop. Good cakes and breakfast, the the lunch menu is a little limited.
Reasonable prices , will return.
Lovely place, buzzing at lunchtime. Lovely chatter, gorgeous baked potatoes and adorable crafts available. Only got a picture of an empty plate because it was too good to stop for a pic! 😅
I arrived just too late for the breakfast - but was allowed to order it! Maybe that’s why it was not crispy bacon (absolutely properly cooked -and maybe I should specify it I want it crispy!) always a friendly and accommodating place - full of locals (what better recommendation do you need!)
I will certainly come again!
My friend and I had a delicious lunch, fish finger sandwiches with seasoned wedges. Thank you for excellent service.
