The Riverside Cafe And Terrace

Handy for the theatre, but there is often a scrimmage for tables if the weather is poor and the outside seats are not in use. On a sunny day, the outside seating is the best place. Criticisms tables are left uncleared and it’s overpriced. And why is water being served in cans?

Had lunch here. The cafe offers pretty standard food options but with the bonus of seating outside on benches by the river which was very pleasant.

A skimpy salad, an OK sandwich, a coffee and a glass of water. Surely they could match the quality of the performances with theirsimple food!

We called in here late Sunday afternoon to have tea/coffee and cake/scone. There was nothing on view to show the prices of the cake or scones. When I asked for a menu/price list showing prices, I was told that they did not display such information. If I wanted to know prices, I could point to each cake and the cashier would check for it on the till, and call it out to me. Imagine doing this with a queue waiting! I like to know the price of an item before agreeing to buy it.

Mother and I came here when we were booking up for Richard III later in the year. The food was ample, and the coffee and tea were really hot and good. I also loved the view of the river Avon. Excellent throughout :
