The Riverside is fantastic. Fantastic and friendly staff who do their utmost to please. Great fresh food. What more can you ask for? Is great in summer with its massive heated outside area.

I haven't been for a while but enjoyed a great visit to The Riverside last week. This place is a classic example of why you shouldn't visit a place when it first opens. The service on our last visit was a joy to behold - friendly, quick and informed. The food was fantastic.


Perfectly cooked lamb on pearl barley risotto, a beautifully presented vegetarian dish of spiced ratatouille terrine and two of the best desserts we've had in a long time. Well done The Riverside.

The Riverside has good food and fantastic service. The place has come along way since it first opened. The new manager has done a great job of recruiting some of the best staff in London. Keep up the good work The Riverside!

The Riverside is a lovely bar, the staff are helpful and bend over backwards to make sure our evening is enjoyable!

As for the prices, what can I say - its central London guys, what do you expect! You are practically in the water, you have views of the Houses of Parliament and the London Eye. The food at The Riverside is great, but can be slow but just keep asking so they know you are still waiting! I love this place, so will most of you!

As another fellow St George resident The Riverside is good for location, but terrible for my bank account! The quality of The Riverside bar staff has improved since the original manager left. I'm told they are now allowed to talk and banter with the customers. It makes for some fun evenings.

The Riverside has a decent location next to the bridge in an area with very little else (apart from a fairly vulgar apartment complex). Always nice to sit by the river also, and very nice seating they have at The Riverside too. But the prices! £4 for a glass of lemonade and £25+ for a jug of Pimms? Priced to keep the riffraff away from the penthouse owners methinks.

The Riverside is in a lovely location, but has appaling service and prices. We paid £7.00 each for a bowl of gem lettuce leaves, one anchovy, and some crumbs of cheese laughably called a ceasar salad. £18.00 for two small bowls of salad and two halves of lager?


We asked the price of a jug of Pimms - £25.70! The Riverside is the worst type of London exploitation. Someone should be ashamed, but I expect they're too busy counting the takings.

My overall impressions of The Riverside are highly positive. The service is friendly, the prices are reasonable and the atmosphere is fantastic. There are not many places in central London where you can go and sit by the river on a hot evening and enjoy a quiet pint.


Having been there before a number of times I would reccomend that if you do choose to sit outside you do not reley on the table service for drinks as this can take a long time. Inside its fine, but they do seem to forget they have customers outside. I would highly recommend The Riverside, it is worth a visit.
