  This is by far the best restaurant we go to. We love the food and the staff are so lovely. The food is presented like a form of art on the plate. The attention to detail from the chefs are amazing. Always a lovely experience. My fave starter is the squid which is out of this world!! The arancini is also fabulous.  The burgers are delish, and the steaks are cooked perfectly. See you again soon xx

  Food was amazing, so tasty and well presented. Loads to choose from the menu, plus they do specials. The staff were all really friendly and attentive. Setting is also a bonus. Will definitely go back.

  We had a Hen Party for a group of 14 at Riverside Social and were looked after from the moment we got there. Service and food was excellent and everyone had a fab time. Thank you so much.

  Once again another amazing experience at this wonderful restaurant… we have had many great evenings and yesterday had a lovely lunch. Food was delicious, staff amazing and superb cocktails and wine. This has by far become our favourite venue this summer.
