    Lovely Friday evening dining experience. Eddie explained the varied menu well and looked after us brilliantly. Sean was the consummate host and we had a great "yarn" after our delicious meal. Riva also has a prime location within Hale village, with plenty of accessible parking nearby. You can also sit outside and watch the world of high-end Chelsea tractors go by!

    First visit. Food was lovely. Leek and potato soup tasted like mushroom but was delicious. Humous and flatbread was lovely. Roast beef dinner also very nice, a bit more gravy would have been better. A bit more gravy on the roast would have been nice. The young girl serving was lovely but service was a bit slow. Will definitely return.

    Amazing evening, first time back in Hale Village for a while. Fabulous food and fabulous vibe. Delighted to see Jonathan carrying on the phenomenal work Lyndsay built Riva on. Couldn’t recommend highly enough for a few easy drinks, great food and atmosphere.
