Fabulous carvery with a choice of roast meats and main meals served from the carvery. They also had a delicious sweet trolley.....the profiteroles are amazing.....best carvery around. Be sure to book as always busy on a Sunday.
We hadn't booked a table but were given a booth for the two of us on Sunday afternoon. The staff were very attentive - we were concerned we might get forgotten about given we were seated at the last booth at the end of a dead end corridor, but we were well looked after. The carvery itself was very good quality and generous with what's included - you can choose three slices of any roast, plus any of the specials (I had venison cottage pie, and black pudding haggis stuffed chicken), as well as your veg sides, Yorkies, and gravy/sauces. Only very small gripe was the peas which were quite dry. Everything else was so delicious including the pâté for starter.
Had a couple of pints upstairs in the sports bar which had great lagers available.
Lovely place to watch sport or chill out.
Then went downstairs for the Sunday carvery which wasn't cheap but it was worth every penny.
You can have any meat you like from ham, turkey, rare beef or well done beef. All were delicious.
Then help yourself to your veg including perfect roast potatoes, yorkies and lovely gravy.
The desert for me was perfect.
A good choice in the fridge but I helped myself to a big scoop of apple crumble from the buffet, with cream.
Excellent. We all loved it and will definitely be back.
Went for the Sunday Roast and left with a full happy belly.
Good sized portions for the meat. Plenty unless you're a competitive eater.
What was also nice was that you were allowed to go back for veg. So you didn't have to pile your plate or waste food. That's a good thing.
It's a good few steps above Linwood farm.
The desserts were nice too. Especially the apple crumble and custard. But I loved that at school dinners.
Staff were great too. Couldn't have been nicer and more helpful.
We'll be back for sure.
Saturday night diner with 11 of us, very slow at coming to take our order.
When the food came, one person's mac n cheese never came, so the server went to get one made, which took like 10 minutes, and when it did come it wasn't like the other 2 plates and had no garnish on it.
Never once did any server come back to ask if we needed more drink or water, had to go to the bar and ask!.
Food was good and decent size plates kids menu was good also.
Don't know if I would rush to go back!
The River Inn is honestly the best carvery roast dinner I've had. The food is fresh and delicious, the staff are lovely and always very accommodating. We always tend to go on Sundays for roast dinners, although we have been during the week and the food is delicious. Highly recommend to everyone, you won't be disappointed ❤️
Very friendly great service. Food is lovely but portions too large for me. They will provide you a box to take home left overs.
Really enjoyed the food here. We were sitting outside.
