We ate at the restaurant twice. The food was absolutely stunning. I would recommend the pie which I can honestly say is the best I’ve ever had. Sunday lunch is simply something else. We had the sharing platter. It was plentiful and accompanied by a wide range of beautifully cooked vegetables. The meats were varied, beef, lamb, chicken and pork, and perfectly cooked. The beef was outstanding, so tender it falls off your fork. The lamb was just the right shade of pink with a gorgeously crisp skin. The young servers are great. Polite and efficient at all times. Nothing is too much trouble. Value for money is good given the quality of ingredients and standard of cooking. Lovely atmosphere on the Sunday.

Attended for Sunday lunch sharing platter, was absolutely stunned with the presentation of the food, along with 4 different meats (which were cooked perfectly). Staff were efficient and friendly Even stayed for desert Cannot wait to come back

Family celebration Sunday lunch. Fantastic food, fantastic service. Thank you so much for helping to make it a wonderful afternoon.

Thank you so much for a really nice evening. The food was excellent and affordable and as a fairly large group, you made us comfortable and we had space to enjoy the meal together. I wish we had come when it was sunnier as the only part we'd improve is to be able to eat in the garden looking at the view. Thank you very much again

Don't pre book unless you 100% know you can attend or they'll charge you £5 per head regardless of your circumstances. I booked on the day in the morning but unfortunately had to cancel in the afternoon after my dog was in a tragic traffic accident and got hit by a car. I explained the reason and got zero compassion or empathy from the staff. I would have rebooked at a later date as I only live down the road but I sadly won't be returning now. They're sadly not realising that their strict policy to charge for cancellations is actually going to cost them more in the long run from genuine loyal customers who would have revisited time and time again.

Visited on a number of occasions….Sunday lunch, Christmas meal and weekdays lunch. On all occasions the service was first class, the food was superb and of a high quality. Can’t recommend enough and will certainly be back.

6 of us visited the Rivers Edge for the first time 4/4/26. We were all impressed with the food, all meals were very well presented and delicious. The mains are of a generous proportion. We shall be returning again , thank you

Myself and my family visited yesterday afternoon in what was a last-minute meal. The team at Rivers Edge were able to accommodate us and gather our pre-orders to ensure that everything was up to scratch on the day, with it being such a large party. Food and atmosphere was lovely, along with extremely friendly staff. Would recommend

What a find! Really beautiful food & lovely staff in a gorgeous renovated pub. Can't wait to return soon!

Attended recently for what was expected to be a lovely family meal, as that’s what we’ve had previously. 2 hours before our reservation, I received a call from a member of staff asking me for pre-order for 5 adults and 2 children, when I asked why I was told it was so they could ensure they had everything in stock. There are only 10 items on the menu. I found this odd as when I had attended before, with 11 family members, we’ve never been asked this. I felt pressured into calling round family to find out what they wanted. Never the less, I did so and called it through. Upon arrival, we were informed that they ‘had no fries as they were waiting on their delivery’, again, thought this strange as there was an option of ‘loaded fries’ on the menu. We were THE ONLY party in for the lunch sitting so thought it rude that we were expected to preorder when there was no one else there. Regarding the food: the cheese on the burger had be left for so long that it had pretty much evaporated, my son wouldn’t eat it. The lasagne had no texture to it and tasted like a frozen one, also had a strange ‘fruity’ taste. One member of staff, I think with red/brown hair and glasses was lovely sadly the lady who I assume to be the manager was quite abrupt. Maybe there is a new chef to the last time I went because previously it has been incredible. Sadly won’t be going back or recommending to others

Lovely atmosphere owners and staff very friendly and accomodating we ate there twice during our stay and family came one tea time for light bites. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed. We would visit again . Thank you for an enjoyable visit

5 stars !! First visit , could not fault it. So looking forward to Christmas Day

We booked for Sunday lunch 5.4.26 for 6 of us. The food was exceptional, we had sharing platter, all the meats were cooked to perfection and everything else was amazing. First visit for my son who said it’s the best Sunday lunch he’s ever had.

We had an absolutely amazing meal here. It was a beautiful evening and the moment we stepped out of the car we were greeted by tne cows in tbe field next door. The views were beautiful, and the air fresh. We went into the pub where a lovely lady quickly showed us to our table, there were 12 of us in total, but there was a slight mix up in meals as we had to cancel 2 meals earlier in the day due to a family emergency. One of the cancelled meals had been plated, however my husband agreed to habe that meal. The overall atmosphere was beautiful. It was quiet as it was a Monday evening, The portions were big, the flavours were gorgeous, the service by the lady was lovely. She was very consciensious in making sure everything was right. The man however was very abrupt regarding the mishap with the meals and came over quite confrontational. Everything else was perfect, the atmosphere, food and service by the lady. The caravan site looked lovely and well kept and made me think about our owm family caravan holidays. I would definitely visit again, and maybe even stay once we have our campervan. Well done to the Chef - who obviously has given this pub its great name 100%
