Lunch is sorted.

A nod to the classic egg salad, with chives, dill, Dijon, capers and a light mayonnaise dressing to bind. Served as an open sandwich on toasted rye with pickles & our in house salad.

This one is staying put throughout the autumn& winter.

Loved by you and our team 🙌🏼🙌🏼

On this weekend, our current special alongside the full menu.

Quite a number of dishes will be coming off soon so make the most of them now. Very excited for the new ones though, making the most of the best seasonal ingredients and the wonderful small producers we work with.

Happy weekend all! 🧡😘

This one makes me very happy.

My friend grew these enormous, beautiful yellow organic marrows just up the road from us, and they’ve ended up in exactly the sort of food I want to eat as we start to edge into autumn.

A rich coconut lentil curry with roast spiced marrow, sticky mango paneer, jammy eggs, pink pickled onions and a punchy green chilli & coriander chutney. Warm garlic naan on the side to scoop everything up.

Seasonal, spicy, a little bit sticky, lots of colour and loads of flavour.

It went on the specials board yesterday and it’s staying there until we run out 💛

There’s definitely a change in the air… 🍂

Back to school (or nearly there for some), cooler mornings and suddenly tiffin feels like a very good idea.

Granny Fozard’s recipe, one I grew up with and still make today — this time dark chocolate + honeycomb.

Made fresh in our kitchen, every day. Come and enjoy a slice. 🤎

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 ✨🙌🏼🥂

We know the weather divides us (we LOVE it btw), and some of us will bask in it whilst others will hide and curse until it’s gone, but either way it’s a struggle to muster up the energy to cook yourself something delicious, so let us look after you.

This is our latest signature salad plate and it’s everything you need right now, fresh, seasonal, delicious, nutritious, satisfying aaaaand you haven’t had to step into a hot kitchen to throw it together.

So come and see us, we will make sure you leave feeling happy. Plus there’s the summer sale on David Mellor - browse, shop and refuel all under one roof.

We were handed a copy of the latest westside.magazine by one of our customers and we’re so pleased to see Riverside Kitchen included in this month’s edition alongside the David Mellor Design Museum.

One of the things we love most about being here is that the café has never felt separate from the museum. People come for the design, the history, the workshop, the shop. Others come to see us, for our food & hospitality, be it brunch, lunch, coffee & cake or a glass of w**e and a little nibble.

It’s a partnership that feels very natural, and one we’re genuinely proud to be part of.

And because no one ever believes Eraldo exists unless he’s in the kitchen… I managed to get him in front of the camera for once. Such a hard working, fun, sanity saving chef, by our side for the last two years.

A seasonal letter;

July is probably our favourite month in the café.

The doors stay open all day, the terrace is full, tomatoes actually taste of tomatoes again, peaches arrive, herbs are everywhere and everything feels a little lighter…

And you wonderful people have been really enjoying our current French Toast;

Peach Melba with raspberry coulis, butterscotch peaches, amaretti crumb & vanilla ice cream

(Think this is a favourite, but we may have said that last time…!)

26/06/2026

The perfect start to these summer sun blessed days, from the new menu, our granola and açai bowl.

Inspired by seasonal fruits, organic local edible flowers (grown by our friends ), Greek yogurt, maple & our granola with whipped açai to finish.

We change our granola recipe frequently but this one is definitely a well loved new addition. Inspired by Syrian flavours this has fennel seeds, sesame, cranberry, chia & flax seeds and organic oats. Love experimenting with granola recipes, Claire Thomson banana one is top of the list too.

It’s been soooooo hot in the kitchen (well, everywhere!) but remember we have a dappled shaded terrace you can enjoy ☀️☀️

It’s been a very hot time behind the scenes at the cafe this week, so there was only one thing for it, a quick breather outside as a team with a little glass of chilled fizz and to say happy birthday to Seth, 19 today (lucky lad) and who recently graduated from Sheffield college after three years and is one of our wonderful chefs.

Im on a long non stop stint with work at the moment (day 9 tomorrow) and its been such a joy working with all our team members, some I rarely get to see, and I’ve genuinely loved it.

We really do have such a fantastic community, a team of people I love working alongside, from all over the world, who manage to have a laugh as well as work their socks off. I couldn’t be prouder.

It’s coming up to our five year anniversary, and another reason to have a knees up and celebrate each other. 🧡🧡
