Do you know how we make our delicious curry dishes that rival any Indian restaurant?

Partly it's because we make our own fresh curry pastes from toasted whole spices and fresh ingredients ...

Mostly it's because we use locally grown fresh produce in season... When it's at its' best, and not simply because that's what a recipe calls for...

This week we have some amazing locally grown aubergines, tomatoes and chillies from .harvest Come and try a jalfrezi with some punchy yellow chillies , or for something milder, a Mediterranean inspired Shakshuka?

It is with great sadness that we have learned of the passing of one of our oldest and dearest customers, Imshi Burrell.

A lovely lady and friend to the business, one of those rare people who would light up a room by walking into it! Always immaculately and glamorously presented, she was a fashion icon! A gifted illustrator; When we received handwritten cards from her, even the envelopes were beautifully written!

We will miss her greatly.

We're back open again and ready to enjoy some summer flavours!

**UNTIL FRIDAY!**

Please note: We're not open on Wednesday or Thursday this week in order to facilitate some essential maintenance, but we'll be back again on Friday!

(If you need to find Chris in the meantime, he'll probably be on the roof!)

See you next weekend!

The road is closed (again!) but we're still open!

If you're coming to River Green, do enter Trowse from the County Hall roundabout, not from the Stoke direction. Ignore the 'road closed' signs, that's just beyond us.

It's not often these days that we have a completely new dish on the menu, after 15 years we've covered a lot of ground!

But here is a summer dish that will satisfy vegans, coeliacs, traditionalists, purists, and creatives alike!

An Italian style Farinata, topped with spinach, cherry and semi dried tomatoes, an almond 'cheese,' and a basil sauce...

Crispy top and bottom, and gooey in the middle, this Italian cross between a pancake and an omelette is naturally vegan and gluten free, with lots of flavour, light but surprisingly filling!

OK, so one of our elderly air conditioning units has had a nervous breakdown! But we've still got two going, and it's at least ten degrees cooler in the restaurant than your house!

So, come over today, we have plenty of tables, relax, and enjoy not having to cook in this weather! (And remember, we've got a good stock of Ronaldos vegan ice creams and sorbets...)

It's our birthday next month!

We've got a couple of special events to celebrate 15 years of River Green restaurant in Trowse!

We have a special Supper Club on Tuesday June 30th! Chris will be preparing a five course sharing menu plus canapes and drinks for you, and up to ten fellow foodies. Cost is £78, tickets available online:
https://tableagent.com/restaurant/river-green-cafe/event/220780/summer-supper-club/

On Saturday July 4th, we'll be doing a special birthday-themed menu, but there'll be a 15% discount on all food as a special thank you for your support over the years! Book online via the bookatable page of our website! Do it soon, tables are already filling up! (Please note: There will be no walk-ins that day, booking only!)

At the end of July we'll be closed for a few days for a small refurb and tidy up of some areas, ready for the next fifteen years!

**WIN A RIVER GREEN APRON!**

We've got some new aprons! As modelled by elderly vegan chef, Chris Avey! With his catchphrase of course!

They're going to be for sale in the restaurant (I believe the young people call it 'Merch?') But one of you can win one in a competition to celebrate our 15th birthday!

Step one: Like this post!
Step two: Finish this sentence with your favourite River Green dish: "If I were eating ....... at River Green Restaurant, I'd be licking the plate clean!"
Step three: Share to your feed

The winner will be drawn at random on June 18th, so make sure we can can message you.

And I know some wags will think it hilarious to insert 'steak' or 'bacon tho'' into that sentence. But of course you won't win, and you will be subjected to a sarcastic reply designed to belittle you in public.

Have fun! Away you go!
