Today is a special day!

No, not because it's October... not because it's Thursday... not because it's National Fire Pup Day or International Raccoon Appreciation Day (although those are all important)...

It's NEW MENU DAY at The Riverhead! 😊

We have some pretty spectacular dishes that have made the cut, so if you enjoy a good Spaghetti "Con Le Cozze", Crispy Cauliflower Salad or a Guava & Lychee Panna Cotta, you need to get down here! (Don't fret, the trusty Riverhead Classics are still available).

With daylight saving happening overnight you have woken up an hour closer to bedtime!

What a great day 😊.

On Monday 14th September we're closing our doors for the day to give our incredible team a well deserved rest. This is our annual 'lets get together and celebrate us' day.

Because we are open 7 days a week, pretty much every sing day of the year (including Christmas Day!), we like to stop the world turning for just one day and acknowledge the hard work of our team.

Back as usual Tuesday 15th September from 11am.

Oh lordy lordy, you'll be grateful to be a local today!

This Potato & Ricotta Gnocchi is NEXT LEVEL.

Pillowy gnocchi with a crisp outer layer, set against a burnt honey dressing and offset with a tangy balsamic gel.

If you are not a local, we feel sad for you... (but you can still order it, because we believe all post codes matter 😊).

Can the Warriors retain the top spot?
(we want to say yes, but apparently it's not up to us 🙄)
