FIVE YEARS OF RIVERSIDE KITCHEN 🎈
Somehow, this month marks five years since we opened the doors to Riverside Kitchen.
Five years! We’re not entirely sure how that happened quite so quickly.
We started in 2021 with an idea of the kind of place we wanted Riverside Kitchen to be — show stopping food, the best ingredients, full of colour, a menu that could keep changing, and somewhere people would genuinely enjoy spending time.
Since then there have been a lot of salads. Thousands of cakes. Countless coffees. Supper clubs, specials, sunny lunches on the terrace, completely full Saturdays, quieter winter mornings, team nights out, new faces joining us and plenty of people who have been coming through the door almost since day one.
We’ve cooked food inspired by places we’ve travelled, changed the menu more times than we could possibly count, worked with some wonderful local producers and somehow found ourselves in The Good Food Guide three years running — something we’re still incredibly proud of.
But when we look back through five years of photographs, it isn’t really the accolades or even the individual dishes that tell the story.
It’s the people.
The people who have worked alongside us, eaten with us, supplied us, supported us, recommended us to friends, celebrated things here, brought their families back and allowed this idea of ours to become what Riverside Kitchen is today.
There have been some very long days, a lot of laughs, the occasional disaster, a few tears, plenty of questionable team-night-out photographs… and an enormous amount of food.
And we wouldn’t change it.
Five years of Riverside Kitchen.
Thank you for being part of it. ❤️
Here’s to the future.
Lauren, Ralph and our team ✨🙌🏼🥂
