Dining at the Riverside Hotel is a real pleasure. The menu changes daily and offers a wide choice, using locally-grown fresh produce whenever possible, much of it from the hotel's own Victorian kitchen garden and farm. Special menus are available for vegetarians and children.
Hi-Life Diners Club Cards are welcome in our Riverview Restaurant and entitle the holder to a 2-for-1 discount on a 3-course table d'hote meal.
Home-grown produce:
The hotel's kitchen garden supplies as much quality fresh fruit, vegetables and herbs as possible, all grown using organic principles.
At Lindisfarm the hotel's farm rears its own free range rare breed pork, Herdwick lamb and traditional beef.
For the meat that the farm does not rear, the chosen suppliers offer complete traceability and give a guarantee of flavour and tenderness.
