As we celebrate this joyous Easter weekend, we want to extend our warmest wishes to you and your loved ones. May this season of renewal bring you peace, happiness, and countless blessings.

Your presence at the River Café brings us immense joy, and we are grateful for your continued support.

We know that many of our guests are away so we have decided to save a pot-luck lunch for another weekend, instead you can enjoy something yummy from our standard menu.
