From the outside, The River Garden looks unusual and quirky, inside is a traditional local pub. I was expecting pub food but was pleasantly surprised by some of the higher end dishes on offer.
Brie wedges with Strawberry compote, Supreme of chicken with Dauphinoise potatoes and a red wine jus, there were also the traditional dishes like Cod and chips but all were cooked really well, no soft greasy batter!
We had a great night out although there needs to be some work done to the gents.

We hosted a 25th birthday party at the Rivergarden this weekend in the Function Room. This was a really great space with large tables we could use for boardgames, a large TV with netflix and prime video as well as a music system in the room. The space was also easily adaptable with areas to pin up birthday banners and a backdrop for photos. The toilets were just down the stairs to the room (you don't have to go through the bar to get to them which was great for us as were were dressed in cowboy costumes), the bar is also just downstairs with reasonably priced drinks and excellent food which was delivered to us in the Function Room. The Function Room has it's own external access which made it easy to bring everything into the room and made it feel like a really private event. The organisation/booking was quick and easy with the owners via email and phone who seemed just as excited for us to come and use the space as we were and they allowed us to have Berts Amazing Creatures come along too which was wonderful! I would definitely recommend the Rivergarden as as place to host parties as well as just go for food and drinks!
Many thanks for hosting 10 of us at short notice (instant!) for a meal on 15 Dec 2023, when our booked Christmas meal nearby didn't happen because of evacuation due to a safety issue.
Lovely meal, good table and ambiance, staff were great.
You saved what could have been a disastrous yearly reunion.. we had a great time 🥰
Definitely be back in the new year !
