Thursdays

Pizza Night

Every Thursday, from 12pm

12" Neapolitan pizzas, now served inside the Riverside.

Elegant spaces and tailored experiences for every occasion.

The woodwork, furnishings and hand-made lighting exude an air of understated elegance, making The Riverside an exceptional dining venue and entertainment space. The same 2 AA Rosette kitchen, the same room of slate, stone and oak, given over to your occasion.

From intimate celebrations to corporate gatherings, our events team will shape the day around you: the room, the menu, and the pace of service. Every detail is considered, so that you can enjoy it alongside your guests.

Coming soon

A room of your own.

Works will shortly be underway at the rear of the building on a new private dining room: its own entrance and lobby, its own servery, and folding doors opening onto the patio.

Built in brick and timber to match the original, with the same 2 AA Rosette kitchen a few steps away.

One room, entirely yours
