Cafe & rowing boats open every day from 10am. So happy to have life come back to the riverside. Come and enjoy some fresh air and a beautiful view!

In more detail……

TABLES – We have tables on the outdoor terrace or inside the cafe, both with a beautiful open view of the river & boating antics. All tables are taken on a first come first served basis & on really busy days are for customers ordering food with their drinks 12-3pm.  Contact details will be noted for track and trace & please be aware that we are only permitted to allow 6 people maximum per table (this includes children of all ages). Most tables outside have a parasol but bring a brolly in case the heavens open ! 

BOATS  – The boats are on the water and operate on a first come first served basis, we do not take bookings. Check our boating page for the boating drill & prices. Worth noting if you need a boat for more than 4 people we only have two family boats (max 6) so sometimes there is a longer wait if they are out on the river when you arrive.

TAKE AWAY – If you fancy a coffee or something to eat to take with you as you amble down Waterside come and grab a take away. There is rarely a queue – hoorah! 

MENU – So that we can limit the number of staff in the kitchen we have reduced our menu. Hot & cold sandwiches, toasties, chips & soup is the main fare. Fishfinger and bacon butties are flying out! To take away too. 

QUEUING – To keep everyone safe we have reduced the number of tables & limited the number of staff in our kitchen. This means you may have to wait on busy days. Please be patient. We don’t want this set up any more than anyone else. We will be doing our best, so breathe through the wait and enjoy the view.. Bring a brolly! No shelter from the rain or sunshine! 

COVID 19 – Of course we ask that you do not visit us if you have any symptoms. Even though both the boats and café are outdoors we need to ensure staff and other customers are safe. Additional cleaning and hygiene measures are in place and there will be hand sanitising gel available. 

Can’t wait to see you all! It is so nice to have the river come back to life. Thank you to all those who have and are supporting us x
